“Keep moving,” Tiny urged them all.
As they entered the hallway, Aurora gasped, and her hand flew to her forehead.
“Shit!” Sin exclaimed as Klutz leaned Aurora’s body against his.
“Dude, come look at this,” Tiny stated to the nosey cameraman. He shook his head, his camera firmly latched onto Aurora.
“I said check this out,” Tiny growled. The other cameraman stepped up as Rage surrounded Aurora to keep her privacy.
“Streets running red with lava… She’s coming right now. It’s time for her and Slick. But the two will fall together. Rapid City is burning. There’s open war on the roads. Allies and friends alike united against an enemy. The end is near, and an ally will suffer greatly in the final reckoning… but there is hope, always.”
Aurora’s eyelids fluttered.
“People fall from the sky… and there is death. But not a plane, something else. A fire in the sky that lights up the surrounding towns… I sense great loss but happiness and relief. And black and white will see grey,” Aurora murmured before gasping. Her eyes rolled up in her head, and she slumped in Klutz’s arms.
“What does that mean?” the cameraman demanded. “Does she have visions of the future? Like Nostradamus. Is she genuine?”
“Shut your mouth. You don’t have permission to film this,” Tiny growled.
Laughter trickled down the corridor towards them. It had a darkness to it, and everyone spun around. Their eyes searched but found nothing.
“Time to go. Ace, Manny, Bone, cover the women,” Tiny said as the hairs on the back of his neck rose. Ahead of them was a shining figure that beckoned to them. The cameraman cursed but kept his hand steady as he filmed it.
“Go,” Tiny ordered as he took point.
He led them towards the doors, keeping a sharp eye out for any signs of attack. Behind them, in the corridor that they’d left behind, doors slammed shut and banged open. It was obvious they weren’t wanted in there, and Tiny had every intention of leaving. They shot through the double doors and breathed a sigh of relief.
Mistakenly, Tiny thought they were all safe as he began walking down the stairs. A cry from Sallie-Anne alerted him that something had followed them as Sallie-Anne crashed into his back.
“Something pushed me!” she cried, alarmed.
Tiny held her close as he hurried her down the next flight. As they neared the doors for level three, they flew open, and a cold breeze escaped from them.
Tiny paused. He’d no idea what this meant, and Aurora was out cold.
“Go around it,” Ace said, his face pale.
“Mine… she’s… mine,”a voice shouted.
“Over my dead body,” Klutz retorted.
“Arranged,”the voice called.
“Get Aurora out of here!” Tiny ordered and barrelled through and past the double doors. For a moment, he caught sight of a man, his face twisted by evil, and then Tiny was leading the way.
He slammed into the main reception and shoved open the doors. One by one, his team filed through, all with varying looks of panic, horror and fright. Klutz bounced through with Aurora, a howl on his heels as Klutz got her out into the open.
“What was that!” the cameraman exclaimed.
“You tell us! You do this sort of thing all the time,” Tiny shot back.
“Not that! Her! She is a psychic, isn’t she? A strong one?” he demanded.
Tiny and Klutz sent him a dirty look.
“Aurora can make a fortune on TV if she’s genuine. Hell, with her looks, she’d make one even if she wasn’t,” the guys continued.
“You’re starting to piss me off,” Klutz growled.
