Chapter 98

Instead…”Theo, is W-Wills there? Please be there. It’s…it’s JR.”

What the…? Why was Wills’s brother calling here? I grabbed the handset. “JR, it’s Theo. Wills is at work. What’s wrong?”

“We’re in so much trouble.”

“Who’s we?”

“Me and Pat. We’re at the bus depot here in DC, and there are a couple of old guys who are watching us. I called Dad, but he’s up in Cambridge and can’t do anything, so I…I tried to call Wills, but it went to his voicemail.”

“What are you doing here?”

“Pat said he was leaving home, and I couldn’t let him go by himself. He’s my friend.”

When Wills found out Pat had dragged his brother into this mess, he was going to hit the ceiling. Pat wasn’t called Damien for nothing. He really was like the kid from The Omen who was the antichrist.
