Chapter 7

Why was it that every time Josh and I struck another one of these world-ending cases, we’d get no downtime?

Other detectives and bounty hunters didn’t work as frantically as we did. Then again, maybe other detectives and bounty hunters didn’t face the same kinds of cases we did. Whenever I was with Josh tracking down some critical case, it felt as if we were pushed from danger to danger with no time to breathe, let alone sleep and eat.

But resting was the last thing on my mind. You see, Josh had turned into a virtual pit of emotion.

We’d just pulled up outside the theater, and I could tell he was trying to compose himself on the premise of checking the symbol on my phone several times.

I didn’t rush him. This would be raw as hell for him. I still didn’t know the circumstances of why Josh hadn’t been able to track down the murderer of his sister two-and-a-half years ago, but I could bet they were complicated. And I could bet that he’d been hating himself every second he’d let his sister’s murderer walk free.

Now his hand softly shook as he thumbed back and forth through the pictures I’d taken.

Eventually, he closed his eyes. He shoved his phone back at me. “Okay, let’s do this. Beth, I need you to—”

“I will watch your back. You don’t need to ask that.”

“… I guess I don’t. But we need to be careful. There’s every chance we might run across the police in there,” he admitted.

I frowned.

“Even if they don’t know about the symbol – these two cases are too similar. So we need to coordinate our story. We’re heading to the theater for the same reason they are—”

“But you said—”

“We’re investigating Olivia’s disappearance. And in investigating Olivia’s disappearance, at her last suspected location, we encountered a warlock attack,” Josh said, slowing down each word as he made it clear he wanted me to learn our excuse by heart. “While investigating the location of Olivia’s last suspected whereabouts,” he repeated slowly, “we came across a warlock attack. We believe it may be connected to an unsolved case from two-and-a-half years ago. We are investigating to see if the theater will give us any leads in Olivia’s case,” he said, emphasizing Olivia.

“Got it,” I said softly.

Josh swallowed. “I hope you do. This is dangerous.”

“Josh?” I managed a half smile. “You can rely on me. Let’s go.”

Josh held my gaze, chuckled with soft relief, then jumped out of his car.

We headed toward the theater. It was only about 8 o’clock at night, and the theater must have had a show at the 8:30 time slot, because guests were already lining up outside.

“Are we going to need tickets?”

“Screw that. We’re bounty hunters. And this time I’m not going to let anyone turn us back.”

I looked at Josh as he stalked away from me, and my heart stilled.

… He wouldn’t be stupid enough to do something, would he? He wouldn’t be stupid enough to go with
