Slade was very, very afraid.

Chapter Three
    “Oh dear.”
    Sylvia looked up from her book to see Syd biting her lip. “What?”
    “I just got an email from Frederica. She wants to meet us today.”
    Sylvia put down her book, her heart pounding with fear. “Do you think she knows?”
    “How? You only met with them this morning.” But Syd looked just as worried as Sylvia felt.
    “I have no idea.” Sylvia bit her lip, her mind racing over the possibilities. Frederica didn’t have the same ability to keep tabs on the Aesir and Vanir that Grimm had. The ravens only answered to him, and now that he was no longer a part of Frederica’s life she couldn’t ask him to look for her. So unless she had someone following them, there was no way she could know that they were trying to join Kir. “No. I think we’re okay.”
    “Then maybe it has something to do with why she’s been consulting so much with Henry and Luther.” Syd turned back to her computer, clicking away at whatever it was Syd did. Sylvia had long ago stopped asking what her friend did to earn human money. The lengthy explanation had made her head hurt.
    “So you think Logan and Kir are right and she’s up to something.”
    Syd shrugged. “She tried to get her hands on Mjolnir , and I don’t think it was because she wanted a memento.”
    “Hmm.” Sylvia turned that over in her mind. “She wants Logan dead in the worst way, and Kir back at her side.”
    Syd nodded, her attention mostly on her screen. “It’s possible Luther or Henry thought they could wield it since they also share Thor’s blood.”
    “But the prophecy states Mjolnir will be held by Magni and Modi. And with the two of them following Kir…” It just didn’t make sense.
    “Then whatever she had planned for Mjolnir fell through when the brothers found it.” Syd turned in her chair, finally invested in the conversation. “That means she’s going to implement Plan B.”
    “Because she always has a Plan B.” Sylvia stared at Syd in horror.
    Syd nodded. “And Plan B involves the ex-wives of Loki and Thor.”
    Sylvia closed her eyes. “They aren’t going to believe this wasn’t the plan all along.”
    Syd sighed. “It’s possible I’m wrong. She might just be planning a trip to Tahiti and wants us to water her plants.”
    Sylvia rolled her eyes. “Oh, sure, because mistletoe requires such personal attention.”
    Syd chuckled. “Okay, maybe not. There’s no use worrying over what she wants until we find out.”
    “I think we should go pick up the surveillance equipment tonight. This might be our best chance to get it into place.” Sylvia stood and grabbed her purse.
    “Sounds good.” Syd followed, grabbing her own purse and following Sylvia out the door. “I have the list of what we need on my tablet. It shouldn’t be difficult, especially since I know where Travis shops for his stuff.”
    Sylvia was the one with a car, so she drove. Syd had a bad habit of getting lost in thought even behind the wheel, so she generally took taxis or the bus everywhere. It was one of the many reasons Sylvia had chosen to live with Syd, because the woman had a hard time with the necessities of life. Put her in front of her computer and she was a genius.
    Put her in front of the wheel, and Mayhem became jealous of the amount of damage she could do in so little time.
    “Where to?” Sylvia pulled out of the apartment complex’s parking lot and onto the street.
    Syd quietly gave directions, and before long they were in front of a little shopping area full of electronics stores. Syd got out first and headed directly for a shop called Kerkelly Security. She opened the door, holding it for Sylvia.
    An older human with salt-and-pepper hair and kind brown eyes smiled at them. “Can I help you ladies?”
    Sylvia stepped up to the counter and smiled back. “We’re looking for help.”
    The man’s smile dimmed. “What’s the problem?”
    Syd glanced at Sylvia before pointing toward the
