Half Blood Rising

Chapter 11

Oldman had given us a quick briefing about Svaltana’s Clan. Some of Oldman’s people believed they were behind the girl’s kidnapping. I kept wondering if this mission was going to be as straightforward as Oldman had claimed. I’d never been anywhere apart from Kiev and Lviv, and now I was going to be crossing the border in the space of a few days.

That day I went through the briefing quickly, learning that the girl had last been seen in the centre of Moscow. It was interesting to know that she was a student of the Elite Academy. Her father was not only on the admission board, but he was also a member of the High Council.

Half an hour later, we were dismissed and carried on with our day.

“She’s the weakest link, and she’s going to screw this up for everyone,” Ramona said the next day, unaware that I was on the other side of the same section in the library, trying to read a book in peace for a change. Lachlan was with her, and it seemed that they’d had a similar idea.

They were hidden behind the historical section, and for a long moment, I heard them making out. I was instantly put off, no longer wanting to read in here and needed to disappear.

Lachlan was still inside my head, and I kept telling myself that I wasn’t jealous.

“Oldman chose her, and I trust her judgement,” he replied. “The girl knows what she’s doing.”

I was shocked to hear those words coming out of his mouth. Maybe I’d misjudged him.

“Whatever, I disagree,” Ramona snarked.

I got up and left, I didn’t need to hear anymore. That bitch simply didn’t like me. She had no idea exactly what I was capable of.

I headed to the second floor to use the Internet for my research. I’d normally done that in the past when Tristan had sent me a name of the convict he wanted me to track down. It would take me days to prepare and locate them, but once that was done, everything else had gone smoothly—well, most of the time.

Karina was excited about the new opportunity to work on an exclusive assignment. She told me that she preferred missions to studying in the classroom. We had a full schedule, but we would be getting extensions for our exams. During lunch, Lachlan sat with Ramona. I’d avoided them since overhearing them in the library, so I joined Judas and Marco at the table.
