When we got back to the shop, there were three black SUVs lined up in front.

Jack stopped the truck and started to turn around, but I put a hand on his arm. "We may as well find out what they want. It's not like they're going to go away if we avoid them."

O'Sullivan stepped out of the backseat of one of them and waved to us. "I just want to talk," he called out.

"I don't trust him," Jack growled.

"I don’t either, but here we are. Let's ask him what this is about. I'm calling 911 now, so Susan or somebody will be on the way." I started dialing.

When Belle, the dispatcher who'd worked at the sheriff's office since dinosaurs walked the earth, came on the line, I quickly filled her in, and she promised she'd send someone out immediately. She was a terrible gossip, and not my favorite person, but she was efficient and did her job well, so I thanked her and hung up.

Then I set my phone to RECORD, and Jack and I got out of the truck.

"What do you want, O'Sullivan? Seems like you should be running off home after your man got hit by that truck," Jack said.

I held my phone, screen down, against my leg and said nothing.

O'Sullivan looked at me. "I have a proposition for you."

"I'm not interested." I looked in his eyes and saw nothing but emptiness, and a shiver swept through me, but I stood my ground. "I'm … I'm sorry about your friend."

He laughed, and it was an ugly, bitter sound like cut glass on stone. "He wasn't my friend. He just worked for me. And you told him he'd live a long, happy life, so I tested your prediction by pushing him into the road. Hit by a truck isn't a long, happy life. I wanted to see how good your visions actually are."

"I lied," I said quietly. "But I did warn him."

"Yeah. O'Brien told me. Just after the truck hit Smitty." He eyed me with a dark intensity. "So, now we want to work with you."

"Not a chance," Jack snarled, stepping partially in front of me.

"I don't have any intention of working with you, in any capacity," I told O'Sullivan, moving back up to stand next to Jack. "Please just go away."

"Remember, when this turns ugly, that I asked nicely," O'Sullivan said. Three of his men stepped out of the SUVs as if by signal.

Jack shook his head. "Big mistake, O'Sullivan. Huge."

"Why are you even here?" I could hear the faint sound of sirens, which meant that Jack had surely already heard them, and I wanted to distract and delay them until Susan got here.

"I'm collecting what's mine, Tess Callahan, and you're just a bonus. Although, I know the Irish always stick together, so if you know Thomas O'Malley, you'd be doing yourself a favor if you tell me where he is."

"The Aristocats?" I blurted out.

"What?" He and Jack both looked at me.

"Thomas O'Malley. It's … never mind. No, I don't know any Thomas O'Malley.
