| Part One: The Black Hole Chapter 13A
Edele perched on top of one of the buildings. She sported a yellow, back-less halter since it was the only thing she could wear.
"Can you see them?", Sinead said to Edele and Keavy.
"Nothing yet.", Keavy said, craning her neck to see over the crowd. She didn't have her suit on, but remained hidden under her long coat just the same.
"I can see one.", Edele said. She had the advantage of a high view. "There. Beside the building to your right, Keavy. I think it's yours."
The silvery jet glistened in the sun. It's nose was crushed into the brick side of the building. Edele flew from the building she was perched on and onto the other. The jet lay just below her. The cockpit remained open. A couple of�whatever they were�stood smoking odd pipes by the jet. One carried a severed head.
"Careful, Edele. That's a dead give away.", Sinead said.
She backed up quickly. "Oops."
"Eddie, close your wings.", Keavy said.
Edele wrapped her wings around her front and hooked the claws together to hold them in place.
"We should come back when it's dark.", she said, "It's still too crowded."
"That will give us even less time.", Keavy said.
"Yeah. But it will give us more time to figure out how to get through the portal without coming out looking like a three-headed freak."
"Stop scaring me, Edele.", Sinead said.
