Chapter 374
Jorick returned before Oren and motioned Katelina and Verchiel to follow him. They reached the lobby of the movie theater just as it was getting out. A group of vampires swarmed past, talking loudly about the movie and the lockdown. That was when Jorick leaned close to Katelina and said, "Sadihra will help us get out."
"Really?" A wave of relief swept through her.
"Why?" Verchiel asked.
"There's been an attack in Syria. Like Turkey, there were few survivors. Wolfe is in the field and since the attack she hasn't been able to reach him. She's worried he was injured or killed and since she can't go herself she wants us to. She's still suspended for her last rash vacation. If she leaves without permission again she's likely to be permanently relieved."
"Which is what caused the rift between her and Wolfe in the first place," Katelina said. "He wanted her to quit being a Scharfrichterin and she refused."
Jorick nodded. "If she gets relieved of duty then all of that was for nothing."
