Chapter 17

THE NEXT MORNING, I said I’d grab coffee for everyone from a local cafe but really, I wanted to get out of the house to phone Buzz. I couldn’t risk anyone overhearing me.

I needed to tell him about my powers not working. I put in my order then went outside to make the call.

“Maybe you were inadvertently blocking them,” he said.

“With a hell beast wanting to gore me to death, I don’t think so,” I said.

“Yeah, that’s a pretty strong motivation.”

“It wasn’t like before when I blocked them. Back then, I had nothing, but this time I felt them but they were so weak,” I said. “Just a drizzle.”

The barista tapped on the window to let me know my coffees were ready. Damn, that was fast. I held up a finger, just another minute.

“I got that potion tested,” he said. “There’s definitely something magical in it but we haven’t identified just what yet.”

“It could be something to cause memory loss,” I told him. “Check for that.”

“Will do. I’ll also check if it’s something that could block your powers.”

I hadn’t thought of that.

I hung up and went back to the town house.

Duke wanted to rehearse with me today. I almost said no but that was a good sign, surely.

“It’ll be a long time before he can perform again,” Earnest said. “I’m not sure if it makes any sense for the two of you to rehearse together.”

“We’re refining my act,” I said. “It’s not like Duke will be rehearsing his own act.”

I wanted to add that Earnest had no say in the matter but I didn’t want to provoke him. The guy was a killer after all. Maybe that’s why Lilly had been warning about arguing with him. Did Lilly know? There was no one I could trust in this world.

“Duke can’t do the rigging,” Earnest said. “He’s nowhere near strong enough.”

Shit, I hadn’t thought of that, and I didn’t want Nuno joining us.

“I’m good,” Duke said. “My arms are fine.”

I went to my room to get ready. I hadn’t planned on rehearsing today but I didn’t want to pass up on the chance to get away from the rest of the troupe.

My phone beeped. A message from Larry.

“We tested the DNA,” he said. He meant Lilly’s DNA. They’d been checking further into the connection between her and that grave. “It’s a match. The grave was empty but we got samples. How can she be the dead woman?”

I didn’t reply. I had suspected that much but I couldn’t explain to Larry. I didn’t even understand myself.

If that grave belonged to Lilly then what about Duke? What about Nuno? Were they all immortal? That freaked me out a little.

It was rapidly becoming clear all of them had something weird going on and that weirdness revolved around something called the Society.

My phone beeped again. “Leave the murder investigation to the local police.”

Nuno let me borrow the van to go to venue to rehearse. We had a one-hour window when the room was free.

“I want to perform,” Duke said on the way.
