Chapter Ten

Dean came running into the house at seven twentyfive with two new bruises on his throat and sand caked on his knees. “I’m gonna shower,” he called on his way down the hall. “I’ll be done in two minutes.”

Andre shook his head. “I swear to God, one of these days his sex drive is going to get us all in trouble.”

Laughing, Bo got up from the sofa and headed for the broom closet. “For someone with Dean’s experience and ability, we can put up with a little extra horniness.” He opened the closet, took out a battered yellow plastic broom and started sweeping up the sand Dean had left in his wake. “Besides, he’s never been late yet.”

“True.” Andre yawned and stretched, falling back against the couch cushions. “You know what, unless we find something tonight that warrants further investigation, I think I might call this the last night.”

Surprised and hopeful, Sam closed the book he’d been halfway reading for the past half hour and looked at Andre. “Really? How come?”

“Well, Joanne’s stuck in Mobile, for one thing, so we might not actually have anyone to let us in and lock up again after tonight. Plus I think we’ve really done everything we can do.” Andre shrugged. “Hopefully we won’t find anything tonight to suggest the potential for an interdimensional portal. To be honest, I don’t know what the hell we’ll do if we find anything like that.”

With no answer for that, Sam fell silent along with the rest of the group. He opened his book and stared at the page, pretending he wasn’t thinking about what might happen that night.

Sam helped load equipment into the SUV while Bo lay curled up on the sofa watching a cooking show on TV. Bo had scowled when Sam insisted he stay inside instead of carrying around camera cases and long rolls of extension cord, but he hadn’t argued. Whether that meant he’d seen reason at last or simply that he was feeling worse than he let on, Sam had no idea. Bo had acted normal enough through the evening so far, but he was paler than usual and seemed distracted.

Lifting the last camera case into the back of the SUV, Sam decided that as soon as the others left, he would ask Bo exactly how he felt, and whether or not he was still experiencing those strange, blank spells. If he was lucky, Bo might even answer him without getting angry.

After the SUV pulled onto the road to the fort, Sam stood on the front porch for a moment, mentally steeling himself for what was bound to be a difficult conversation. At least Bo’s mood had mellowed since the previous day.

Inside, Sam found Bo flipping through the channels. He smiled and switched off the TV when Sam plopped onto the sofa beside him. “So. Here we are alone in the house.” Bo nuzzled behind Sam’s ear. “What should we do?”

The suggestion in Bo’s voice went straight to Sam’s groin. It took all his willpower to hold Bo away from him instead of crushing their mouths together.
