CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE

Emilie and Jeremy spent the next few days clearing their desks and workload, even into the weekend, with spare time spent exploring the possible burial sites. Emilie promised to keep it to herself, and Jeremy had no one to share the plans with except Father Eddie. They used Jeremy’s hotel room as a place to work, and he switched his room a few times, being careful just in case someone decided to break in again or maybe plant a bug while they went out for food and coffee, they had become that paranoid, and were taking no chances. The Peabody Hotel was very accommodating after the episode with Mr. Pierce, and Jeremy got a questioning eye only once.

Tuesday evening, barely a week after being officially introduced to Emilie, the two worked together in his room. Jeremy sat at the table, with many books scattered about, which he used to research the possible burial locations. He was jotting down important information in his laptop. He stopped for a moment and rubbed his tired, itching eyes, then raised his head and gazed over at Emilie. She sat on his bed with a book in her hand. Her long legs were folded, knees bent to support the thick volume. He watched as she did that habit of hers, twisting her hair. She always played with her stray strands, or pulled her hair back when she was nervous. Jeremy loved watching her. He smiled to himself, remembering it was exactly one week since he’d interrupted her argument with Robert.

True, he hadn’t known her long, yet he was comfortable in her company, as if they had been friends since birth. They worked well together, too. He enjoyed the quiet company as they sat in his room reading, sharing pertinent information that they stumbled across. She inspired him, but at the same time tested his patience. She seemed bent on saving the world, which was endearing, but also meant he had to share her attention. He wasn’t sure where this quest was leading them, but he knew he wanted to be there with her, and protect her. Drawn to her, he hated that such a beautiful woman was plagued with so much negativity in her life. With that contemplation, he felt the need to say something.

“Em,” he said.

She looked up from the page she had been reading. “Yes?”

“With all this secrecy going on, well… I know you love your brother and the rest of your family…but I don’t trust Robert. What can we do to keep him from finding out what we’re doing?”

“Don’t worry about him. I’ve been careful when he’s around,” she said.

“Then what’s the story you’ll be giving him once we start our trek?” Jeremy pursued.

“I’ve got a great, spur-of-the-moment vacation planned. Didn’t you know?” She laughed.

He smiled, captured by her eyes. When she was happy, her face lit up and her eyes enlivened, like a spirited child looking at the world in awe. He hated that there were supernatural forces in the world that took that innocence away from her.
