“Yeah,” she said. “Thank you for saving my life.”

            “No problem,” I said. “By the way, I’m Ashley.”

            “Nice to meet you Ashley,” she smiled. “I’m Spencer.”

            “Spencer,” I smiled. “It’s nice to meet you too. Do you go to King? I think I’ve seen you somewhere before.”

            “Yeah,” she said. “I’ve seen you around.”

            “Oh yeah?” I said.

            “Yeah,” she said smiling.

            “Can I give you a ride home?” I asked. “My car is just a few blocks away.”

            “Sure,” she said. “I’d like that.”

            “Great,” I said. “Just let me talk to my guys real quick then we can go.”

            “Ok,” she smiled.

            “I’ll be right back,” I said. I turned around and walk to the guys. “How is everyone?”

            “We’re all ok,” Aiden said.

            “Good,” I said. “Now we know it was those guys from Society of Shadows right?”

            “Yeah,” Aiden said.

            “Ok,” I said. “Someone needs to call Jason and let him know. I’ve got plans so I can’t do it.”

            “Got a hot date?” Aiden asked laughing.

            “Shut it,” I said punching him in the arm.

            “Ouch,” he said. “I was just kidding, D. Damn.”

            “So who is going to call?” I asked.

            “I will,” Adam said.

            “Ok,” I said. “Text me and let me know what he says.”

            “I will,” Adam said.

            “Good,” I said. “Now I’m gonna go. Make sure you guys stay off the main roads and get into cars as soon as you can. I have a feeling this isn’t over yet.”

            “You too, D,” Aiden said. “Be careful.”

            “I will,” I said. “See you at home.”

            I walked back over to Spencer. She smiled sweetly. “Ready?” she asked.

            “Yep,” I said. “Are you?”

            “Yeah,” she said. We started walking towards my car.

            “So tell me about all about Spencer,” I said.

            “Well,” she said, “I’m 17. I live with my parents and brother, Glen. We moved here from Ohio a couple years ago. I love music, swimming, shopping, watching movies, and hanging out with friends.”

            “Ohio?” I said. “Yikes.”

            “I know,” she laughed. “I love it out here.”
