A breeze carried a damp breath of nighttime chill past me, and I shivered, even though cold didn't bother me much at all.
And then my phone rang. I pulled it out of my pocket and stared at it. A local number, but no one had my number except Colin.
"Yeah?" I said cautiously.
An exhale down the line. "It's me," Jace said. "And before you ask, Dor can apparently hack the phone company with his brain, and no, I don't know how, and yes, I realize this makes me look like a crazy stalker."
I let out a shaky laugh. Why did I suddenly feel like I could breathe again?
"Are you a crazy stalker?" I meant it to sound teasing, but my voice faltered.
He paused. I realised I could hear some background noise. Rushing, or rumbling, or something. Was he — yes, he was driving. And I was pretty sure I could guess where he was going.
