Chapter 32: Conversations with the Dead

“Why are you still here?” Tom asked, his head pounding. He was exhausted, sick to his stomach from the scotch, and found it slightly odd to be back in control of his own body.

Nicholas sat on the floor across from him in Jeremy’s home. The light of the half-moon filtered in through the windows. Smiling, the dead man replied, “You interest me, young man. I understand your anger and the drive for vengeance. But you are young, and the amount of animosity that you carry is impressive. I have known others who cared for their parents, who, like yours, were murdered. Those individuals did not execute their parents’ killers. I like that about you, Tom. I like that quite a bit.”

Tom grinned, not knowing why he found the idea of the dead man’s approval pleasing. “Um, thanks.”

“You’re welcome,” Nicholas said. “Now, I will let you rest. When you awaken, I hope that we can begin our quest for Stefan Korzh in earnest. I trust either the treacherous owner of this house or my grandson will have left some sort of evidence behind.”

Tom frowned, confused.

Nicholas smiled and continued. “Like you, they are hunting Korzh. Unlike you, they seem to have found something, which would explain why they are no longer here.”

“That makes sense,” Tom said, and he stifled a yawn.

Nicholas chuckled, but the sound was cut off by the crunch of tires on the chipped stone of the driveway. Panic spiked through Tom, and he cast furtive glances at the windows and the door. A spotlight erupted in a window, the beam playing along the wall.

Nicholas stood up, a vicious smile playing on his face.

“Stay away from the windows, Tom,” the dead man said, and he vanished from the room.
