**********

After our nice little chat and my revelation, we finally made our way to the warehouse. I magically unlocked the door and waited just outside as Micah checked the inside.

A lot of witches had learned to fight with their magic but I wasn’t one of them. I could conjure a bat and hit someone upside the head, but I doubt I’d be quick enough against a vampire. Seeing how the vampires had become our number one enemy, maybe the NAWC should require magical fighting techniques as part of our public education.

“All clear,” Micah said, peeking his head out the door.

I stepped inside the warehouse, already knowing what it looked like.

The broken down refrigerators I’d seen the night before sat in the far corner. Two cots occupied the middle of the floor and off to the left was the office area. I walked toward the office, like I’d been here a millions times and knew what I was doing. Micah followed and looked over my shoulder as I picked up the clipboard I’d seen previously.

I scanned the list of names and my breath caught as my eyes found Aiden’s name. I had been hoping that I imagined that part of my night.

“Clients?” Micah asked.

“Yeah, I think so,” I told him, and magically made Aiden’s name disappear from the list. I didn’t need the FPD knowing my vampire beau was on a suspicious list of Brew users.

Out of curiosity, I searched for Ian Despereaux’s name, but it wasn’t on the list.

I handed the clipboard to Micah and searched the area for any other information. There was a computer sitting on the desk but it was password protected. Finding nothing else useful, I left the office and walked around the corner where I had seen the men sitting at the table. The table was right where I expected it to be, but there weren’t any supplies atop it. There were a few built-in cabinets along the wall, but there was nothing of interest inside them.

Micah pulled out his cell phone and rambled off the address to one of his co-workers. If the distribution team showed up, the FPD would catch them.

I walked over to where I had seen Bridget’s body and sat gently on the cot. I placed my hand on the pillow that had absorbed her tears and my own eyes welled up from the sadness. I’ve never had experience with junkies, but I have heard that they’d do anything for their next fix, even kill innocent witches. It was an entirely different matter when the drug in question ran through my veins. Magic was a truly fantastic element that no one completely understood—but what separated us from the other supernatural species could also get me killed.

“Ready to head back?” Micah asked.

I nodded my head. “Yeah.”

The ride back to Flora was quiet. Micah was either embarrassed or pissed at what occurred between us. I knew a small part of my heart would always be occupied by Micah, but it was more of a fossil from my history than a sore spot.
