Tony had told them to go to the Nederland police station, which looked like a big log cabin. Rustic, but homey. It didn’t appear as oppressive as the brick and mortar, or concrete stations Paige was accustomed to.

Inside was nicer, as well. Still had that small town homey feeling. She went to the first desk and peeled her business jacket aside to reveal her badge to the older man sitting there. “We’re looking for Sheriff Karl.”

A short woman in a black police uniform walked through the door in the rear of the room. Her dark hair was pulled back in a tight bun. She smiled and offered her hand as she walked forward. “You must be Detective Whiskey.”

“Sheriff Karl.” Paige took the other woman’s hand, exchanging a firm shake. “It’s a pleasure to meet you. This is Dexx Colt. He’s assisting my partner and I on the case.”

Dexx took the woman’s hand next. “And I don’t call people by their last names if I don’t have to.”

“I prefer being called Karl or Sheriff.”

“A girl named Karl.” Dexx widened his eyes, his lips smashed. “I like it. I guess.”

“Like a boy named Sue. Makes us tougher.” Karl chuckled and led them to her office. “Tony said you knew about our society and that you’re friendly.”

“I have learned a lot in the past couple of days. And you’re okay with me being a witch?”

“I talked to Sam. The world’s changed, anyway. It’s not the same as it was when the treaty was created. If you’re good, I’m good. Close the door.” She sat down behind the desk. “Kevin will be here shortly. I wanted the doctor to check him out, just to be sure nothing strange was going on.”

Paige took one of the other two chairs. Just enough cushioning to ensure a thirty-minute conversation wouldn’t be too uncomfortable. “Did he say where he was being held?”

Karl shook her head. “Not really. He says he doesn’t remember much.” She shrugged. “So, having a witch might not be such a bad thing on this case.”

Narrowing her eyes, Paige settled back in her chair. “Why?”

Dexx took the seat next to her. “You can help him remember?” He wiggled his fingers. “Honestly, it’s like talking to a newb sometimes.”

Karl smiled, her brow furrowing.

Paige raised her shoulders. “Your stories might have you believing we’re all about manipulation, but I don’t know how to do that.”

“Hmm.” Karl rapped her knuckle against the desk.

Paige hadn’t openly practiced magick. Ever.

This felt weird. Like being naked. In public.

Paige rubbed the scabs on her chest hiding beneath her tank top under her button-up shirt. They didn’t itch. They didn’t burn, but the door whispered, reminding her it was there. “I’m assuming you pulled evidence from his clothes?”

Karl nodded. “We have someone here who does lab work for us.”

“Easier that way.”

“Exactly. She should have something by end of day.”

“That is quick.” Paige raised her eyebrows. “I’m a bit jealous.”

“That’s what happens when you live in a secret paranormal community,” Karl said with a smile.
