"Thank you, Angelica." Kari hung up the phone and then just stared down at the legal pad.
"What?" Magnus asked.
"That was too easy. Way too easy. I
wonder what is wrong with Leif and Travis," she mused.
"There is nothing wrong with them. They are seasoned warriors and wonderful witches that have served faithfully for centuries," Magnus asserted.
"Exactly. And yet Storm Keep was willing to give them up so easily."
"I know that they were both very vocal about coming back to Noctem Falls regardless of what their scores were. Maybe the academy just realized that since they were going to come back anyway, might as well send them back now, especially at my behest," Magnus hypothesized.
"Okay, so how do we find Travis and Leif?"
"We will start with Leif's Unit Leader, Dimitri Romanov." Magnus pulled out his walkie-talkie. "Tree Beard, come in, over."
"Yes, sire."
"Would you happen to know how to reach Leif or Travis? Storm Keep is advising me that they have not arrived there yet."
"Yes, sire, I can call their cell phones. We all maintain cell phones and numbers given just to unit warriors. They took a slight detour on their way to Storm Keep. They are in Vegas."
"They have been in Vegas since they left?"
"Yes, sire. I call and check in on them every couple days to make sure they have not drowned themselves in booze or accidentally married a human."
"Can you reach out to them to let them know their assignment has been changed? They are now to return to Noctem Falls?"
"Sire, are you serious? What about Nigel and Neil?" he asked.
"They are to stay as well. Travis and Leif will act as their new mentors."
"Hot damn! I mean thank you, Sire!"
"You are welcome; call our boys home."
"Yes sir!"
Magnus was about to clip his walkie-talkie back on when they heard a new voice.
"Magneto, come in, over," a piping voice blared.
"Magneto here, Menace."
"Cool, I just wanted to let you know that the cameras were done, over."
"Thank you, Menace; we will be right there." Magnus looked up at her. "Would you like to go and check them out?"
"Sure, but what cameras is she talking about?" she asked.
"Meryn installed security cameras at specific points around the city. We are hoping they will help to track the killer."
"You still have not found him?"
"No. When the murders stopped, so did our leads."
"I am more interested in how they will be organizing the recorded footage."
