117 Chapter 117

My friends' gaping mouths told me I'd just unleashed a whole new line of questioning with my revelation that Elliott wasn't a Vampire Hunter. "A what?" Emma asked.

"Are you serious?" Lucy was shaking her head. "Just when we think we have everything figured out."

"I know. Listen, I will actually be at her headquarters tomorrow, which would be great if it was for any other reason in the world than a funeral, but it will give me a little bit of a chance to see what I can figure out. Hopefully, I'll get a chance to talk to Cadence, too. Maybe by the next time I talk to you guys I'll have more information."

"Okay," Lucy nodded, "but we'll understand if you don't." She had tears in her eyes again, and I assumed she'd probably be mourning the loss of Dr. Sanderson as soon as we disconnected, too. In fact, if the student body of Shenandoah High School found out about his death, there would be hundreds of kids crying and no one to cheer them up since that had been his role.
