“If you can see anything,
that is. I’d like for Aurora and me to be as prepared as possible. Once we’re
in the middle of this thing, neither of us can show a hint of emotion.”
    I could tell Lucas was looking at me when Nicholas said that last bit. I
kept my attention focused on Emmett.
    “Yeah, you go into a huge building   - a warehouse. It’s one story, if that helps. Then, there’s some type of
gatekeeper – sorry, I can’t tell you anything about the gatekeeper,
specifically. That’s who checks you in, verifies the barcode,” Emmett
explained.
    “Okay,” I whispered. My nerves were starting to get the better of me. Up
until now, it had seemed surreal. The full effect of what was about to happen
hadn’t sunk in. I wasn’t really going
to some underground meeting with a bunch of undead things…right?
    “After you get past the gatekeeper, it should be smooth sailing,” Emmett
said.
    “Meaning?” Lucas raised his eyebrows questioningly.
    “Meaning that’s the only stop before you get to the meeting,” Emmett
replied. “I don’t know anything else,” he added. “You’ll just have to evaluate
the situation and go with it.”
    I shot a nervous glance at Lucas. He looked perplexed. He opened his
mouth to speak, then stopped himself. With a deep
sigh, Lucas got up from the seat on the couch next to me. He walked over to
Emmett.
    “I know I haven’t said it before, but thanks for everything, Emmett.
You’ve really been a tremendous help.” Lucas patted Emmett on the shoulder
awkwardly. “I know we keep asking for more,” he added. “It’s hard not to. But I
also realize you’re telling us as much as you can.”
    “Anything else we need to go over?” Nicholas asked. He turned his
attention to me. “Once we’re there, we can’t falter. We can’t talk. Whatever
happens, you have to keep staring straight ahead; try to make your eyes look
dead, like you’re not focusing on anything in particular. Don’t look at me,
even out of the corner of your eye,” Nicholas ordered.
    I nodded. “I can do this,” I whispered.
    “I hope so.” Nicholas’ nonchalant attitude was gone. “We both have to put
our game faces on, if we want to get out of that meeting alive.”

Chapter 4
    Lucas and Emmett were coming with us to the check-in point location, but
they didn’t want to get too close in case there were guards hanging around.
Lucas had gotten one of his contacts to disable the cameras on the outside of
the building, so we wouldn’t have to worry about being filmed going in.
    Midnight was the summoning time. We pulled up, several blocks over from
the abandoned warehouse. Emmett thought the gatekeeper was already inside. It
was only five minutes before show time.
    “So, what now?” I asked nervously. “In a couple of minutes we’re going to
start seeing the zombies Tobias is controlling walking into the warehouse?
Wouldn’t that look kind of suspicious if someone happened to drive by?”
    “They’re teleported there,” Emmett explained. “At midnight, everyone
coming to this meeting will disappear from wherever they are, and reappear
inside the warehouse. That’s why they needed so much space. The creatures have
to be hidden from the outside world throughout this whole process. In fact, I
didn’t mention it before, but this is just one of many check-ins. I don’t think
they have the ability to teleport that far, so they had to set up multiple
check-in stations.”
    “But we’re not under their mind control so we won’t get teleported,
right?” Nicholas asked. “We’re just going to walk on in like we own the place,”
he said with a grin.
    “It’s bound to be locked,” I said nervously.
    Lucas reached in his pocket and held up a small key. It looked like the one
he’d used to open the cemetery gates once before. “It works, trust me.”
    “Ah, I haven’t used one of those in awhile.” Nicholas plucked the key
from Lucas’ fingers. “One minute until midnight,” he
