"Did you find out where those coordinates were?" I asked.
His gaze skimmed my body as he swiveled around in his chair. "Always did like you in that dress. The lilac matches your eyes. And yeah, it's smack bang in the middle of an old Department of Defense site in Maribyrnong. They sold it off thirty years ago for development."
I frowned. "That's nowhere near the other warehouse."
"No, but it is on a ley line."
My eyebrows rose. "Since when did you become an expert on ley-line location?"
"Since you dragged me into this goddamn quest. I thought it might benefit the story if I actually knew what I was writing about." His expression was somewhat wry. "That's presuming I'm actually allowed to write about it once it's all over."
"Uncle Rhoan said you could."
"Yeah, but I'm betting they'll vet it before it goes to print."
Undoubtedly. "Being on a ley line could suggest it's hiding another transport gate."
The first one certainly had – we'd witnessed a Razan using it, right before hellhounds had attacked us. What it wasn't was the gate they were using to get onto the gray fields. But that had to be somewhere near the first warehouse, because that was where the intersection was. I guess it wasn't all that surprising we were having trouble finding it, though – it wasn't like they'd want anyone accidentally stumbling onto it.
"Well," Jak said, rising. "There's only one way we're going to find out what's out there."
"As long as it doesn't take all day. I have to be back home by five." It was just after two, so that gave me a couple of free hours before I had to contact Hunter. "And you might want to grab that knife Ilianna gave you, just in case."
"It's stashed in the car." He hesitated. "I haven't heard any whispers about weird things happening out that way. No reports of dogs with red eyes, like the first one."
He touched my back, guiding me out of the house and into his car.
"That doesn't mean they're not there," I said, once he'd climbed into the driver's seat.
