“Did you find any other connections between the women?” Riley asked.
“There’s a report of a woman who evaded an... attacker. She describes the man as the darkness. I’m sure she was hysterical and in shock, but that same location has had two other abductions,” Lexi said.
Riley nodded. “Where’s this location?”
“A park just off of Main Street. It’s right beside the soccer field.”
Riley nodded. She was aware of the massacre that had happened on the field. And it was located between the shelter and the clinic. The demons were targeting a very specific area. “Thank you for your help, Lexi. I’ll let you know if anything turns up.”
Lexi grabbed her arm. “I want to go with you. I need to understand why this happened.”
Raine stepped forward. “Lexi, I think it would be best if you left this investigation to us.” He looked her directly in the eyes and Riley could feel the power roll off of him.
Lexi huffed. “Yeah, that’s not going to happen.”
Riley stepped between Raine and Lexi. “We don’t know if there’s anything to this yet, but I promise to keep you informed.”
Lexi shrugged. “Sure.” Riley knew there was no way she was dropping it, but it gave them an excuse to leave.
“I will call you soon, Lexi,” Riley said as she escorted Raine outside.
Raine stopped her as soon as they exited the village gates. “She has a shield around her mind. I didn’t want to push, as such an intrusion could be painful. Your words were well chosen. She believes we are human and looking into Leah’s death.”
“We got the information we needed, but we just gave Lexi the incentive she needed to take her investigation to the next level.”
Raine nodded. “I’m aware.”
They walked toward the tree line as Riley spoke, “Colton and I need to check out the park.”
