“Ceece! What the hell are you doing?” Bobbie Faye stared at her left arm—it was royal blue. Down to her fingertips.

“A spell, honey. A really strong protection spell. I think I figured out what wasn’t working with the other ones.”

“I somehow wasn’t scary enough?”

“Oh, no, you were plenty scary.”

“Now there’s an endorsement everyone wants to hear from their employer. I would really like to get through this disaster without looking like a recruitment poster for Blueberry: Fruit of the Month Club.”

“It’s not bad. It’s just a little blue,” Ce Ce said, not really looking Bobbie Faye directly in the eye when she said it, and she started packing up the empty containers, putting a lid on the one with leftover gel. “Maybe it was the prayer that turned it a little darker.”

“Prayer?”

“Maimee and her bunch. They were in the store. Lots of praying might have made this a lot bluer than I remembered.”

“Might? If this was prayed over by Maimee, I’m probably lucky I didn’t just burst into flames. So what’s the chant thing we need to do?”

The incantation. Ce Ce still didn’t meet her gaze. “There’s no chant thing for this one—the spell’s already in the gel.”

“I’m done? I can go wash this off now?”

“No,” Ce Ce said, moving toward the front door.

“I really do not want to walk around looking like a Smurf exploded on me.”

“Honey, it worked for Mel in Braveheart.”

“Ceece—that side lost. The main character was drawn and quartered by the end of that movie.”

“He probably tried to wash it off. Just don’t do that. Especially in the next couple of hours, because I’m not entirely sure about the exploding quality.”

“Exploding?” Bobbie Faye felt her insides go squiggly.

“You won’t explode, dear. I don’t think. But the protection spell has to have something to work on or it can go a little haywire. Which is why I have to get the rest of this back to a safe place,” she said, tapping her big purse where she’d stored the other containers. “Oh, and I think I may have accidentally solved that insurance quote problem you had. You be sure to live so I can tell you, okay? Bye now!”

Ce Ce toddled out V’rai’s front door as Bobbie Faye looked in the living room mirror and stifled a yelp.

John and the men he’d hired got into position at the mill; he watched through his binoculars as the crazy-assed voodoo priestess came barreling out the front door of the house, practically plowing over the idiots hovering between the door and their Hummer. He’d known that following Ce Ce was the way to pick up the trail—eventually, in just about any disaster, Bobbie Faye’s boss showed up to try to help the insane ditz. It was poetic justice that the same woman who’d hexed him years ago (and it took two fucking years for all of the warts to go away) should be the source of his finding Bobbie Faye and putting an end to her.

He had three men spread out, and if she came out with the diamonds, they were his.
