Chapter 7

It looked like we’d been foiled again. And left to look like fools. But no….Sybil was quick on her feet and she showed it now.

“Oh, honey, did I say tomatoes? Silly me. I meant an avocado. That’s it. I need an avocado.”

“Oh.”

“Please go, sweetheart. Pretty please?” She went close and onto her tiptoes and she gave him a little kiss on his cheek. “I really need it.”

He was beginning to rebel. “But Sybil, I don’t see why…”

Tears filled her eyes. “Oh Gary, please don’t. Can’t you understand? I know how important your clients are to you and I want to do my part.” A small sob tore from her throat. “If I can’t…if I can’t…”

“Oh honey.” He grabbed her into his arms and held her. “Don’t worry. I’ll go. I’ll be right back.”

She smiled through her tears. “Oh thank you! And don’t worry. We’ll take great care of your client while you’re gone.”

He sighed. “Okay. Let him know what happened to me, okay?”

“Sure.”

And he went. It was reluctantly, but he went. I had to hand it to him. What a good husband. Or a sap.

And what a poor analyst of his own wife. Wow. Who knew Sybil was such a canny manipulator?

She waited until he was out of sight, then went into action. “Okay, quick. We don’t have much time.”

She’d already put on the kettle and it was beginning to whistle. She pulled out some tea bags. “I promised Brett Kaden some special tea. I’ll get it ready now.”

She brought out tea bags, then a vial of something colored teal and silver, the colors jumping like quicksilver against the glass.

I looked at it, filled with dread. “What is that? Holy water?” I’d always heard you used holy water to single out demons, but then, I’d always heard a lot of things that had turned out not to be true.

She shook her head. “I don’t have any holy water handy, so this will have to make do,” she muttered, pouring out the just-boiled water into tea cups, then dropping tea bags in, one by one.

“What is it?” I asked her, puzzled and still looking at what she had in that vial. “Where did you get it?”

She looked at me defensively, then waved the little glass bottle under my nose. “Don’t worry. It’s pure. We always used it when we ran out of holy water. It’s actually made of pomegranate nectar and pulverized Sheffter seeds, mixed with….”

“Sybil! What are you doing?” I was horrified. “That’s Witch’s Brew!”

She shrugged. “I suppose it’s one of them. Listen Mimi, you don’t fight demons with cupcakes and sugar water.”

I gave a quick glance through the peephole to see what Brett was doing now. “He doesn’t look like a demon to me.” In fact, he looked like a man beginning to lose patience with being left alone in an empty living room.

Sybil nodded knowingly. “You see, you don’t know. You’ve never fought demons.”

“Oh, and you have?”

She looked at me pityingly. “Mimi, the explanations will come soon enough.
