Yes, but they will not know when we entered.Daemon shrugged.
The two of them swiftly entered the hallway. The dead were not left behind though. There was a woman dressed in sensible slacks and a sweater who lay half in and half out of a doorway. She had clearly been working late. Daemon felt Julian’s sadness that she had been here at all. They carefully walked past her.
They easily found the security office. There was another secure door to get past. Once more, Daemon used his strength to open the door again. Inside there were three dead guards. Two of which were seated in chairs in front of a wall of monitors that showed live feeds from every part of the museum. The third guard was lying on the floor. A cup of spilled coffee lay six inches from his outstretched right hand.
They had no idea what was going to happen, Julian murmured. No idea at all.
Daemon had seen countless deaths, many pointless, but it never failed to affect him. As a being who held eternity in his hand, he felt the pointlessness of a life partially lived.
Julian shook himself and walked over to the seated guards. He gently moved one of the guards out of the way and stared at one of the monitors that was controlling the feeds. Julian clicked around various screens. Daemon merely stood by as his fledgling manipulated the technology that was still beyond him.
I think this is beyond me!Julian admitted. Wait! I think I’ve found where the recordings are being saved. Looks like they’re saved by camera number and date. Yeah, these are all from today. Let’s look at one.
He clicked on various of the files and they showed up as individual windows on the screen. It took some time but Julian found the recording of the feed where Kara killed everyone. They watched as the scene played over again before them though it was silent as the sound was not captured. As everyone collapsed to the ground like felled trees, Daemon’s lips skinned back from his teeth.
This cannot happen again,Daemon thought.
How do we stop it? Julian asked. Imprison every Kaly? Search their minds for betrayal?
What I have given can be taken away,Daemon stated.
Julian’s head snapped towards his, eyes wide, lips parted. You mean to use Armageddon on them all?!
If it must be,Daemon answered.
Every Kaly…
Anyone who follows them, will feel my wrath. Nowhere will be safe for them, Daemon said.
Julian looked back at the files. I can destroy these, but again, things erased can be recovered. And I’m not sure there isn’t some backup server elsewhere that keeps the recordings as well so--
Daemon didn’t hear the rest of what Julian was saying as Balthazar’s voice suddenly screamed in his head, Kaly! Daemon, Kaly is here! The Well of All Souls!
And then Balthazar’s voice was gone.
