Naomi kidnaps Atharron
His tone became business like. ‘’Tis Naomi.’ ‘What’s she done this time?’ Cat said, annoyed. ‘I agree, she’s been an annoyance at times; getting Luke in a little trouble; setting the country up for a Jerry attack; and, lest we forget, that business in Niflheim? Still need to sort that shit out. But I think she’s set her sights a little higher now. She’s stolen the Key.’ ‘No,’ Cat said slowly, shaking her head in disbelief, ‘Naomi does not want power.’ ‘Well, looks like she’s had a change of motivation. She stole the Key last night and has disappeared, probably, in my opinion, to meet up with…’ ‘You’re not about to say who I think you’re going to say are you?’ ‘Damn straight.’ He took long drag of his cigar as if to emphasise his point. ‘The Key in the hands of a demon. I can’t think of anything more…’ He put his hand up to stop her, cigar almost half finished. He appeared to be listening for something. A slight rustle reached Cat’s ears, and he turned his back to her, a knife suddenly in his hand. Before he moved to attack, he faded into a wave of black smoke. As the fog cleared, Cat saw a silhouette. Though her face was shadowed, she still recognised the witch for the brief moment she stood there. The black shape eyed Cat for a moment, then blurred into the darkness. She cursed her inability to stop Naomi and took flight to warn the others.
