“I HATE YOU.”

Harper was a filthy mess as she trudged out of the snake house two hours later, dirt and grime spread across both cheeks as she clutched a used dreamcatcher to her chest and planted a dark scowl on her face.

Zander, who could always find the bright side of any problem, looked downtrodden and beaten as he followed his best friend. “We should’ve given this job to Molly and Eric.”

“They’re not responsible for facing off with ghosts,” Harper reminded him. “They’re supposed to back us up. Today of all days, by the way, you decided we didn’t need backup. I don’t know what you were thinking.”

“I was thinking that it’s the zoo and we both love the zoo,” Zander fired back. “And as for Molly and Eric, I can’t help but believe they’d both be better equipped to deal with snakes.”

Even though she was mildly irritated and certain she would be plagued by nightmares for the foreseeable future, Harper couldn’t hide her smile. “I thought you fancied yourself a snake charmer.”

“You’re so crude.” Zander heaved out a sigh. “I prefer a different sort of snake.”

“And you say I’m crude,” Harper teased, giggling. “Am I to assume that you’ll only fight ghosts when trouser snakes are involved from here on out?”

“Oh, you made a joke!” Zander reached for Harper, extending his fingers so he could tickle her.

“Who are you?” Harper recognized danger almost instantly and took an involuntary step back, banging her head into a low-hanging tree branch as she looked the new arrival up and down with flat eyes.

The man, who stood out in the middle of the zoo (and only partially because he was dressed in an expensive suit), narrowed his eyes as he locked gazes with Harper. “Where is it?”

Harper glanced around, convinced she was on some sort of hidden camera reality show. “Where is what?”

“Hey!” Zander regained his senses, smoothed his hair, and jerked his head in the man’s direction. “What do you think you’re doing?”

“I doubt very much he’s here to see the animals,” Harper answered, her eyes filling with fear as the strange man advanced on her. “I think you should call the police.”

“Screw that,” Zander argued, squaring his shoulders. “I don’t need the cops. I’m a lethal killing machine all on my own. I used to take karate when I was a kid. You remember that, right, Harp? You stay away from her!”

The stranger ignored Zander’s theatrics and remained focused on Harper. “Where is it? I know you were on the boat. You’re the only one who had a chance to take it. I want it!”

“Boat?” Puzzled, Harper wrinkled her nose. “Are you talking about the wrecked boat? The one the Reiters were on? Hey, your name isn’t Jack, is it?” Harper barely got
