WE SETTLED ON AMIGOS RESTAURANT, WHICH had a relaxed atmosphere and amazing food. I stuffed myself with a taco plate and refried beans, feeling pretty good about how the day was going when Harley suggested we return to the campsite.
âI want to see where the bodies were found,â she said. âNow is as good a time as any with your co-workers otherwise engaged.â
Jack nodded in agreement. âOkay. But no caves until we know more about what weâre up against.â
âNo caves,â she agreed with a grin. âNot yet anyway.â
Jack parked in his usual spot, and Harley wanted to see where the bodies had been discovered. Jack pointed out the footprints to Harley. She seemed as interested in them as the state of the bodies when they were found.
âI canât believe you came out here barefoot,â Harley said, wrinkling her nose. âWhat if youâd stepped on a snake?â
Jack glared at her. âDonât get her going about snakes. Itâs too cold at night for the snakes to be out. They come out during the day to sun themselves on the rocks, but theyâre not out at night. Donât freak her out.â
âI think Iâm freaking you out,â Harley countered. âThatâs not hard to do.â She turned thoughtful as she stared at the footprints. âGhosts donât leave footprints.â
âI believe weâve already covered that,â I reminded her.
âYeah, but I thought there might be a reasonable explanation as to why the footprints were here,â she admitted. âThis is a weird place. If someone else did entice you out of the tent, we would have to assume it was a demon. I donât know many demons wearing Tory Burch boots.â
âEspecially boots that Laura supposedly wore,â Casey said. âWhat do you think it means?â
Harley shook her head. âI just ⦠this is so weird. Even poltergeists donât leave footprints. This is something else.â
âWhat?â I needed to know. Even if it was bad news all around, I desperately needed to know what we were dealing with.
âShe couldâve been resurrected somehow,â Harley replied. âItâs not unheard of. A necromancer might be able to do it.â
âMaybe we should call Bay,â I suggested, referring to my favorite Hemlock Cove witch. âSheâs a necromancer. She might know the ins and outs of it.â
Harley blinked before turning to me. âCharlie, Bay is extremely powerful, but she couldnât bring Laura back in the state youâre suggesting. If she did try to bring someone back, they would have to go into their old body. She canât create a body from thin air.â
âWhat about a golem?â I wasnât ready to let it go. âCouldnât someone have created a golem, shaped it to look like Laura, and then shoved her soul inside it?â
âHer soul was gone,â Harley insisted. âI made a call. Her soul was collected by a reaper after the fact. Do you know how rare it is for a creature to be able to cross over and snag a soul?â
âMaybe the thing Charlie talked to last night didnât have a soul,â Casey suggested. âMaybe it was a creature pretending to be Laura.
