Katelina woke with a start. Samael's final words shouted through her head. She needed to call-who? The hospital wouldn't give her information. She didn't have Brad's number. Should she call every nursing home in the area? If she found the right one, would they tell her anything?
She checked her watch; it was after eight and the fit function said she had a heartbeat of seventy-two. Even if she knew the nursing home's numbers, the night staff would tell her to call back in the morning.
"This sleeping all day is a pain in the ass!"
Jorick stirred from the opposite couch. He gave the gasping breath that signaled he was awake. She wondered if she did that. She hadn't noticed it, but she wasn't sure he knew that he did.
He sat up and rubbed his head. "Were you shouting?"
"Yes. Sorry. I had another dream. Samael said I needed to get back to Ohio while we still have time, but he didn't explain what he meant."
"I hate to sound pessimistic, but I think the meaning was clear."
