Chapter 21

Waiting for the cast to assemble in my hospital room involved a lot of pacing, worrying and wasting time. An anxious ghost is not a pretty sight, and yoga exercises don’t do a damn thing to calm a frantic ghost who might have the opportunity to live again. It was impossible to say how long we waited because time In Between wasn’t the same as dirt-side, not precisely. A single day In Between could be very very long. Or very short. The daylight cycles were interrupted by deep fog that was very nearly the same as the dusk and dawn light that often marked a cycle.

In desperation, I practiced jumping over hellhounds that didn’t exist. I even considered singing to the weave, but discarded the notion as one that would scare off Lynx and his friends.

Once Lynx and his friends showed, I was to gather Kyle and Martin to try the portal. Finding Kyle was easy. He had made the cairn near the lake his shelter. I’d not have chosen that spot if you paid me, but if he found comfort there, well, you embrace any kind of peace wherever you can find it In Between.

Martin was another story. Nothing on earth or In Between could stop his wandering nature. Every day I’d check the hospital room and then flit to the canyon or the lake or even Troy’s tree searching for him.

He wasn’t spending much time at his canyon. When I asked about it, he said, “Too dangerous. I sip the energy quickly and leave. There’s a demon on the hunt.”

After that, I completed my rounds in fear, harvesting from the edge as far from the hospital room as possible. I caught a glimpse of the girl, Espy, and her Aunt Brenda once. One or the other was doing the medium trick again, but they were no longer at the hospital. By the time I was able to hop closer, the weave was thickening, and there was no time to ask if Espy was better.

I saw the nurse Sonya frequently, sometimes working with Paul, the technician, or one of the vampires. The female vampire wore a tag identifying her as Tina. There were two male doctors, one of whom was an impossibly older guy who included me on his rounds. He wasn’t as decrepit as the near-corpse on the bed, but it was a close second. He must love his job to still be working at his age. His badge was so old, the letters were faded beyond recognition, except for a “C.”

There were other patients and technicians, but none ever glanced my way. I grabbed bits of energy and stayed on the move.

It must have been the third or fourth day after Martin had talked to his friends when he found me on the way to my hospital room.

“Now. Hurry.” Rather than waiting for me to follow, he just spurted ahead. For an old guy, he was fast.

I kept up, but barely. “How do you know it’s time?” I demanded.
