EXCERPT
The noise
of the city was muted in the park on the banks of the river. The cobblestone
paths went off in every direction and extended right up to the wall which held
the river back. Across the river was another park named Pettibone Park. The
twin parks were in two different states. Pettibone Park was in Minnesota and
the Waterfront Park was in Wisconsin. Only the waters of the Mississippi river
separated them. The late afternoon was waning into early evening and the sky
was bursting in hues of gold, red and purple as the sun disappeared beneath the
western rim. The colors were reflected in the gently lapping waters of the
Mississippi river. Everything appeared normal until the air began to shimmer
wildly. When the air stopped wavering, a man stood on a previously empty grassy
knoll.
He was
tall, around six foot, three inches, and his hair was the color of rich coffee.
His eyes were deep green in color and his skin was tanned. He was dressed in
jeans and a flannel shirt and he wore moccasins on his feet.
He looked
around the area. The city was behind him. He turned and began following the
path that would lead him to its heart. La Crosse was a university town and it
was there, at the university, he would find the man he was looking for. He was
a man on a mission, and Jack knew he would have to move quickly. He was looking
for a man who could cause trouble for humanity. If his mission was successful
he could bring around the end of the world as mortals knew it.
Ethan had
given him the name Wade Kellerman before he left the Council room. Leon told
him they were looking into why they hadn't been able to see what Kellerman was
up until now. Michael Kane's visit to the Council had alerted them that someone
within their own ranks was hiding the demonic activity going on. He couldn't
tell them a name but he showed them what to look for.
When he
found the university library, Jack paused to check his finder. It was the size
of a Garmin but so much better. He had programmed the finder with Professor
Kellerman's DNA and now it would find him wherever he went. This wasn't Jack's
first trip to La Crosse; he'd visited a few hours ago. He appeared in Wade's
class and gotten a sample of his DNA from a water bottle he'd thrown in the
trash. He returned to the Council and did a preliminary search of the
Professor's life. Using the extensive library available Jack knew all about
Wade Kellerman from his search. He knew where Wade was born and where he grew
up. All he needed to access now was Wade's commitment to his projects and what
he found disturbed him. The Council had been correct about the red flags they'd
found.
Now he was back to finish
what he started earlier. His finder indicated Wade was in the library.
