Chapter Fourteen

Kyra was nervous. She hated the emotion. It sent her mind and body in all sorts of directions except the one she needed—calm.

If she and Dubhan couldn’t find Xaneth, she hoped they could at least find out something on the Others. Since her life was now on the line, she had a stake in things. Because of that, she didn’t want to ask Dubhan if he could help her find out anything about Eva. But it was her aunt. Eva had done so much for her. The least Kyra could do was ask Dubhan if he could discover anything.

When she and Dubhan approached the table where Mike sat, the mortal appeared at ease. That could mean that nothing untoward had happened to him while he was in the shop, or it could mean that he knew exactly who was in the store and hadn’t been worried about being caught since he was also part of those associated with the Others.

Dubhan waited for her to sit before he sank into a chair. Mike stared at them, but no one spoke other than to place orders for coffee.

Finally, Dubhan asked, “Well?”

“It’s a small bookstore,” Mike said. “Very narrow, with piles and piles of books. I thought the library had a lot, but this shop has so many, there’s no way anyone could find what they want without the help of those who work there.”

“What does that have to do with anything?” she asked.

Mike added sugar and cream to his coffee and stirred it, tapping the spoon on the side before setting it on a napkin. Then he took a sip and set the cup down. “It means that I had a look around while filming as much as I could before it became apparent that there was no real order to the merchandise. At least not like other bookstores I’ve been in.”

“In other words, you had to ask for help,” Dubhan said.

Mike nodded. “Precisely. And I couldn’t exactly have my phone out for all of that. I did the best I could, but I wanted both of you to know that I couldn’t get it all.”

Kyra scooted to the end of the chair. “What did you get?”

“Enough, I hope. If not, I’ll go back,” he offered as he pulled out his mobile phone and laid it on the table. Then he hit play.

Kyra and Dubhan stared transfixed at the small screen as they watched the recording of Mike entering the store. It was as narrow and jumbled with books as he said. Most of the volumes weren’t standing up on shelves, but rather on their sides or stacked on the floor.

Mike walked the entire length and width of the store, catching almost all of it. Kyra wasn’t sure there was anything to see since it was all just books, books, and more books. She had to agree with Mike, she’d never seen so many in one small place before.

“Rewind,” Dubhan ordered.

Mike reached out and began to move the mark on the screen backwards.
