Chapter 17

“You can’t seriously be considering doing as he asked,” Victoria said, surprising me outside the door to Enzo’s shop.

“Why not? Have you got any better ideas?”

“Yes, not falling for his crazy shit for starters. Shouldn’t we head down to the morgue and see what the lab has come up with? They have to have figured something out from that woman’s body by now?”

“They don’t even have an ID yet, what makes you think they’ll have anything else?” I asked, an image of the woman’s eyes and mouth stitched shut popping into my head.

“Can’t we try? Even you have to agree that going to meet up with some crazy, pretend voodoo priest is bogus.”

I didn’t argue with her, the thought of going to see a voodoo priest gave me the willies, but it made me even more nervous to think I might go and see him with her in tow. Nic, on the other hand, would make a far better partner when investigating the weird crap and I’d heard some seriously weird stories about voodoo. As far as I was concerned, it was something I never wanted to get tangled in. We got back into the car.

“Fine. Morgue it is. Maybe if I get a chance, I can swing by and find out how Graham is doing.”

“Aren’t we doing a press conference or something? I don’t think you’ll have time,” she said, starting the engine.

Facing Heddou suddenly seemed like a much better idea. Showing Victoria that I was a Shadow Sorceress was a better idea. I already knew the types of questions the reporters would ask, and what was I supposed to tell them? It wasn’t as though we had any real answers or information we could share with them.

“You can’t really be that bothered by the thought of a press conference; in New York, they were practically a daily occurrence.” Her tone was snotty and superior.

“Good for New York,” I said, the exasperation in my voice unmasked, but I cut myself off before I could really share with her what I was thinking.

Telling her to go back to New York was one of those things that were better off unsaid. And anyway, enacting it in my head was so much more fun.

We travelled in silence until she finally looked over at me, a sheepish expression on her face.

“I don’t actually know where I’m going.”

A grin crept across my face, and I started to laugh. The entire situation was beyond ridiculous. Something had happened to freak Enzo out, a man I’d always believed to be utterly unflappable, and I was travelling around town with an officer from the New York Elite office who had no idea where anything was in King City. How were we going to get anything solved when everything we’d come across so far seemed to point in the direction of us never figuring anything out?

I gave her a quick rundown of where we were headed before I returned my attention to the streets. Everyone looked happy and normal.
