Her fingers shook, and she clenched her hands into fists. When the elevator doors opened, she hurried outside. So many cops were standing and sitting in the waiting area, hoping to see Tony. They wouldn’t be getting in yet.
They didn’t have her connections.
Pak nodded to her and pointed to the door on the far right. She hurried inside and paced down another corridor.
Then she saw him. Tony’s face was still just as perfect as always. But his hands…his legs…
She swallowed and crept toward the bed.
“You’ll be fine,” she whispered to him, and began to chant. Her binding marks were gone. Her power was finally back—fully back. Pak thought she could help heal Tony, and she’d prove the charmer right. She’d pay back her debt to Pak, and her debt to the cop.
Did Tony even remember the debt she owed him? Probably not. It had been so long ago. He’d just been a rookie on his first beat. She’d been a lost kid.
So long ago.
His lashes stirred as she pushed the past from her mind and chanted. The air shifted around her as her power pulsed.
Tony would be all right. Better than before, with time.
“Cat.” His whisper, when he shouldn’t have known she was there.
Unable to stop herself, she leaned forward and pressed her lips against his cheek.
She’d had visions of him over the years, too, and she knew that someday…Someday…
The cop will be mine.

Pak smiled as he pushed the hospital door closed. He turned around to face the crowd of cops and crossed his arms over his chest. He’d make sure Catalina wasn’t disturbed. No one needed to see the magic that his newest recruit was working.
Catalina would make a fine addition to his team and so would Zane’s Ignitor. So much power there, just waiting.
Two more on the side of the hunters. The Daveys of the world had better gear up. Hell was coming for them. Because his team was always watching. Always waiting.
He nodded to one of the demon cops.
Yes, Pak was ready and so was Night Watch.
Come and get us. His team was the best in the business, and even the devil couldn’t take them out.
But he’d sure like to see the bastard try.
The End
