Ronan

Ronan’s emotions were all over the place as he pulled into a parking space at the morgue. His anger over Tennyson’s parents’ treatment of him warred with his growing feelings for his lover. Pride battled embarrassment over his comments that the voice-activated cameras picked up indicating that he and Ten were clearly more than colleagues. Top among all of his feelings was the real reason he and Ten were sitting in the parking lot in the first place.

This part of his job never got easier. The fact that the victim they were about to see was a five-year-old child would haunt him forever. “Will he be here?” Ronan knew he didn’t have to say who the “he” was out loud.

Tennyson covered Ronan’s right hand that was still gripping the steering wheel hard enough for his knuckles to turn white. “I don’t know.” Tennyson took a deep breath as if he needed a minute to think over the question. “Spirits don’t usually show up at cemeteries. Sometimes they come to their own funeral as a last way of seeing all of the people who loved them in life in one place at the same time. Since I’ve never been to a morgue before...” Ten trailed off.

From his spot in the driver’s seat, he could see Brett McCabe’s van parked across the way. He knew the film crew had been at the morgue filming since the morning. They’d been shooting the scenery of this part of South Boston as well as speaking to the medical examiner who would be working with Michael Frye’s remains.

This wasn’t going to get any easier the longer they sat here. “Let’s go.” Ronan opened the door and moved quickly around to the passenger side to hold the door open for Tennyson. He thought the psychic was brave for agreeing to come and do this, but wasn’t sure how to say that to him. Ronan knew Ten was barely hanging on as it was.

He kept his mouth wisely shut as he led Tennyson through the main door and through the metal detector after he’d shown his badge and checked his gun in with the Suffolk County Sheriff Deputy on duty. After securing both Ten and himself a visitors’ badges, he headed over toward the bank of elevators where a cameraman was waiting for them.

Once they were all inside, Ronan hit the button marked “B.”

“Oh Christ, it’s in the basement?” Tennyson shivered and rubbed his arms.

Ronan nodded. “Makes it easier for drop-offs and pickups.”

Tennyson nodded and shut his eyes. He appeared to be taking deep breaths. Ronan could see his lips moving and wondered if he was praying.

“There.” Tennyson opened his eyes and brushed his hands off on his pants. “I asked my spirit guides to protect us.”

“Protect us against what?”

Tennyson raised an eyebrow as if he expected Ronan to know the answer to the question without his help.

“Oh, glomming spirits looking to hitchhike a ride on my white light.” He should have known that. It wasn’t everyday someone told him about how attractive his soul’s white light was to less desirables.
