Kelley Armstrong _ The Calling
As supernatural types went, that seemed weird, and I suspected there was more to it. According to the notes, some of the kids had problems. So they locked them up in a group home. The kids figured out why they were there and escaped. And apparently came back and destroyed the laboratory, killing Dr. Davidoff and several others."Why can't we do that?" Corey said.

It's about the experiment that went wrong. Project Genesis. Details of what happened.""And what happened?" Corey said.I had to finish reading the first page before I could answer. Then I explained. As we'd guessed, Project Genesis was another experiment with genetically modified supernaturals. Only these ones seemed to be normal types. Well, "normal" in the sense that we'd heard about them before. Witches, sorcerers, half-demons, werewolves, and something called necromancers."I've seen them in video games," Corey said. "They control the dead.""Zombies?" I said."Right."As supernatural types went, that seemed weird, and I suspected there was more to it. According to the notes, some of the kids had problems.

And apparently came back and destroyed the laboratory, killing Dr. Davidoff and several others."Why can't we do that?" Corey said."Because we don't know where to find anyone," I said. "Even if we did, we aren't ready for that. They had help. A father and an aunt who'd been in on the experiments.""So what happened?" Corey asked. "And what does this have to do with us?"I read the second page. Then I told him.

So you rescued us on your own?" Corey said."Yes," I said. "You were saved by a girl. Horrible, isn't it?"He slid out and looked down at my bare legs. "Not just a girl, but a half-naked one. Now that's hot. If I'm still unconscious, don't wake me, okay?

I was still tugging my shirt down as I opened the back doors of the van. A thump sounded from within. Then, before I could even see inside, Corey said, "Don't! It's Maya."I flung open the door to see Corey holding Daniel by the back of the shirt. In one hand, Daniel held what looked like a shard of metal. He let out a relieved sigh and dropped it."How'd you know it was me?" I said.Corey shrugged. "Good guess." His gaze shunted to the side, and I knew it wasn't a guess at all.No time to ask.I looked in the van. I couldn't see anyone else, but I looked anyway."Rafe's not here," Daniel murmured. "They must have taken him with Sam and Kenjii.""So you rescued us on your own?" Corey said."Yes," I said. "You were saved by a girl. Horrible, isn't it?"He slid out and looked down at my bare legs. "Not just a girl, but a half-naked one. Now that's hot. If I'm still unconscious, don't wake me, okay?"I rolled my eyes and waved them out, then went to find the rest of my clothing.

Go on, Maya," he said, words slurring. "Remember what we said. Only one has to get away.""Then it'll have to be Rafe or Corey. I'm not leaving--""They got Rafe and Corey. You know they did. Go."I shook my head. "I won't.""One of us has to get away." He managed to look up at me, his eyes so unfocused I knew he couldn't see anything. "Please, Maya. Go."He dropped then, a dead weight, falling on his side. I could hear a team coming."I'm sorry," I whispered. "I'll make it up to you." I bent and kissed Daniel's cheek. Then I left.

I'm fine," he said. "Just a little woozy. Must not have gone in deep enough."I scanned the ridge, and I caught a flicker of light reflecting off metal."Sharpshooter," I whispered. "But you can't do that with tranq darts.""These people can resurrect extinct supernatural races, Maya," Daniel whispered. "I think their technology goes a little beyond the norm.""Right. Okay." I took a deep breath. "Follow me."I started crawling through the brush. I'd gone only a few steps when I realized Daniel wasn't behind me. I turned to see him on his stomach, blinking hard."Nope," he said. "It went in deep enough.

They aren't following us," Corey said. " aren't they following us?""They know it won't be hard to find four kids tearing through the woods," Rafe said. "Daniel's right. We need to split up. Better than that, we need a target. One person to make more noise than all the others put together. That'd be me." A wry smile my way. "I'm good at causing trouble.

We'll come back for you," Daniel said."After you have backup, please. No offense, but you guys aren't up to fighting these people.

Go," she said."Corey and I can carry you," Daniel said. "Just grab on--""Then three of us will get caught instead of one. Go."She pushed Daniel. When he hesitated, she shoved him hard enough to knock him off his feet."You know it's the right thing," she said as he scrambled up. "They won't hurt me. Without you, I'm the only benandanti they have."We didn't know that, of course. But she was right that we'd never escape carrying her."We'll come back for you," Daniel said."After you have backup, please. No offense, but you guys aren't up to fighting these people.

We took the truck. Corey's mom's SUV would have been more comfortable, but also extremely recognizable with the police logo. Not that it mattered, since we were already being tracked, but I could hardly say that.Daniel drove. I rode shotgun. I'd tried to get Sam to take that spot, so her leg would be more comfortable. She'd refused. We opened the window into the topper, though, so we could talk, and left the curtains open.We took the worst of the back roads. Again, that wasn't necessary. Again, I couldn't say so.

We'll talk on the way," he said. "We really need to get going, and if Corey's getting a headache--""It's not bad," Corey interjected. "I'll be--""You won't be fine. We need to look after that first.

Rafe woke me in the morning."Sorry," he whispered. "But I can hear Kenjii moving around, and if Daniel comes in and finds you here, it won't matter that we're both fully dressed. I'll get my ass kicked."I shook my head. "He wouldn't. What I do with you is my business.""Mmm, still pretty sure there'd be ass-kicking if he found you in my bed.
