Chapter Fourteen

“Dude and his questions are gonna have to wait,” Babette declared. Despite being the shortest person in the room, Babette had no doubt about her importance.

“I, wait?” he managed an imperial lilt. “On the contrary, it is you who shall have to—ack.”

A flying hellion jumped on him, taking him by surprise and throwing him against the table, hard. She held him by the shirt and shook, a small ball of fury. “Speak!”

“And if I don’t?” he asked.

“Then you shall encounter my rage.” Babette shook, her entire body bouncing, not budging him a bit.

He sighed. “Are you done yet?”

Jumping down, Babette tossed her head. “Not quite. We still need to talk about the missing girls.”

“There is nothing to speak of. I am not responsible.”

“Says you. Boss says we have to keep an eye on you. Watch your every move until we can clear you as a suspect.”

“You plan to spy on me?” He seemed rather shocked.

“Spying is such a harsh word,” Elspeth interjected.

“No, it’s about right.” Babette’s lips curled into a smile, one that screamed: make war, not nice.

“You would blame me without proof.”

“Why not? You’ve already stated you hate our kind.” Babette tossed his words at him.

Arms crossed, Luc declared, “You are no better than your ancestors.”

“Oh, I am way better than them, dude. Want to see?” Babette crooked her fingers.

Luc’s expression darkened, and his forehead dimpled in two spots.

“Play nice, everyone.” Elspeth placed herself between them, breaking the eye contact. Handling two besties was like wrangling playschool children. Get between them before the fists flew. She’d liked that job, getting to be with the younglings all day long.

Pity she hadn’t kept the position long.

Letting a parent know she’d had a vision of their child riding a bike without a helmet and it not ending well saw her fired. Even worse? No one believed her, which led to Elspeth going off her meds for a few hours and slashing the tires on the boy’s bike. Because of her intervention, the boy bypassed his horrible fate. He lived and she was pretty sure he wouldn’t choose the future road where he turned into…no, best not think of that.

Babette pushed off a bookcase and stalked closer. “I don’t see why I have to play nice. There are people missing. Dragons. Which means he needs to tell us now what he’s done with the missing girls.” Babette squinted at Luc.

He glared right back. “Again, I am going to ask, what missing girls? It is just Alfred and me in residence at the moment. I don’t believe the cleaning crew is due until tomorrow.”

“Are you saying they’re dead?”

“Who’s dead?” he barked. “You are speaking in riddles.”

Elspeth could see his temper rising.

“He didn’t do it.” Elspeth rose to his defense. Her visions didn’t tell whodunit, but they did give her a fair certainty that it wasn’t him. Most of the time.

“Didn’t do what?” he said with utter exasperation.

“Stop it with the innocent act.” Babette shook a finger at him. “We know about the missing women.
