Chapter Nine

Horace

I floated down the street behind Bianca, Lynn, and Blaine Harcourt. I wasn’t exactly sure why the dragon shifter had insisted on tagging along, but it meant I had to endure hanging around with his two dads yet again. At least they kept their traps shut most of the way this time.

“So, her last name is Spanos.” Blaine had both his hands in his jacket pockets. “Interesting.”

“Ew.” Lynn wrinkled her nose. “What are you going to bribe me with, Trogdor? You know, so I don’t tell Kimiko you came with us just to check in on an old lady friend.” Lynn’s smirk might have seemed mean-spirited instead of sarcastic if she hadn’t dropped Blaine a wink at the same time.

“I’m just connecting dots here, not revisiting an old love connection, which she wasn’t by the way.” A thin trail of smoke wafted out behind Blaine. “Spanos is Greek, and it means hairless.”

“Well, she’s not.” Bianca shook her head. “Hairless, that is. Cassandra's definitely Greek, though. Her grandparents immigrated back in the day.”

“I wasn’t thinking along literal lines.” The smoke ring Blaine blew pulled into a long oval shape as it went past my left ear.

“Me neither.” Lynn sighed. “I only met Cassandra one time, at the Homecoming Festival last year. She’s the person who gave me this Psychic weather app.” The human girl tapped her phone, then passed it to Bianca. Blaine pouted. “You’ve already seen it, dragon man.”

“Anyway,” Blaine went on, “in ancient Etruscan cultures, oracles shaved their heads so they could reduce interference on their connection to the Fates or whatever other powers that be they turned to. So, my bet is that the Spanos family has had their Psychic ability from ancient days.”

“Why is that important?” Lynn shrugged. “Either Cassandra will be at home or not.”

“Well, it means that maybe she’s got a family member who knows more. Maybe even one who can find us an Astral Projection Psychic. And if she’s gone missing, perhaps someone in her family will want to help us with our Extramagus problem.”

“The boy gets his brains from me.” Ignacius’ voice rumbled behind me.

“His mother, you mean.” Wilfred snorted. “And I’m the one who taught him all those good study habits.”

“Quit it, or I’ll make wraith-meat out of the both of you.” I held up a fist. Silence reigned behind me.

“Or maybe not.” Bianca shook her head, possibly to empty her ears of ghostly dragon arguments so she could focus on corporeal dragon ideas. "I remember when she started working on this app. A year before you started here, Lynn."

“How’s that?” Lynn took the phone back from Bianca.

“That app is more Precognitive than anything else, but the weather detection has a thread of some other energy.” Bianca shivered, pulling her jacket tighter around her.

“Yeah.” Blaine nodded. “It had some Air and Water Magic if I remember correctly.”

“What if that came from Richard Hopewell?” Bianca shook her head. “If he’s got Cassandra somewhere, then her family might not be able to help us without risking her safety.
