Maddening (Cursed Superheroes #2)(10)

“What’s the update on the portal?” I ask my colleague, trying to distract myself from the pity I feel for Heartley and Remi, who’s still struggling to get a grasp on her soul thirst.

His mouth plummets to a frown, but he hurriedly shakes the look off. “The last I checked, it was the same. No portals have fully opened yet and no paranormals have entered our world.”

I think he might be lying, but why?

“You know it’s your job to tell me if the situation has escalated,” I remind him, closing the file. “You need to keep me updated, even if the updates are bad.”

“I know that and I am keeping you updated. And, like I said, the situation hasn’t changed. If you don’t believe me, check the data yourself.” He checks his watch then rises to his feet. “If you’ll excuse me, I have a meeting to attend.” He rushes out of my office before I can get another word out.

I check the data on my computer and it matches what my colleague said. No portals have opened. No paranormals have escaped. Still, something doesn’t feel right.

I sit back in my chair and thrum my fingers against my knee. Something is definitely up and I need to find out what. So, I think after I’ve sent out my zombie to help Ava with her transition, I’m going to find a cyborg to tail my colleague and see what he’s up to. Besides, in about a week, I’m going to have to find a cyborg for my next project anyway.
