well-defined. People move easily through them. The door to this
plane is hard to find, and I think there’s more than one. I don’t know
why. Some people have gotten through. That’s why we have vampires
on this plane. And, according to the computer, werewolves and
shapeshifters and the Loch Ness monster. She comes from a
waterworld. It’s very sad.”
“Nice,” Dante said. She was taking loony to a whole different
place. “So we have to suspect that this door is here in the city. Is it
open all the time?”
“More than likely not,” Meg explained. “The other doors aren’t
always open. I read that some people can open them at will, but others
have to wait. The door from my village’s plane to the Vampire plane
opens three times a day. I think we can assume the door here is
something like that. It’s somewhere in the city. I don’t think I was out
very long.”
“So there’s a door to a different plane right here in Fort Worth,”
Dante mused. “It can’t be in an office building. Someone would
probably notice something like that. I bet weird stuff happens around
it. It’s a long shot, but this baby is pretty cool.” He pushed the button
that brought up the menu. “I need to run a search.”
“Of course, master,” the computer said with an inviting smile.
“Which pornographic material should I seek out today?”

Dante grinned. “Really? You can do that?” He felt Meg’s stare.
“Nothing like that. I want you to run a search on all strange
happenings in the city of Fort Worth, Texas. Use the human internet,
the primitive, sucky one. Check things like police reports and news
articles and even blogs. I need a list of locations around the city where
strange things happen.”
