“Go, Jace. Luna Jara will be there momentarily. Help protect our Luna.” I hear Joe say.

“I’m here.” I call, rushing faster down the stairs. “Where’s Stella?” I ask.

“She went to get Brynn and Melinda, she’ll bring them to the safe room. Go!” Joe says before closing the door. I reach over and turn the lock on the door from our side before taking Jace’s hand.
