Thirty-five

It’s now ten p.m. With Ivey, we finished having that celebratory lunch long ago, and I now sit in the office. The dropper is charged, but like I said earlier, today I will do the locate around midnight. My hope is that the Lady in Red is now confident enough to stay home and sleep there. This then gives me the ability to locate her residence and raid it. Trust me, arresting a black-magic suspect at home is easier because you can do it without worrying about government bans on witch hunting.

An hour ago I did that dream reveal thing. Usually I have been doing it during daytime, but today I changed to night, too. The reason I previously have been so wary of night reveals is because it’s the most likely time anyone possessing Casey’s goods might abuse them. I wouldn’t want to see the action going on around that, the nudity and all. Tonight, though, I took the risk, and the result, far from the embarrassing and borderline voyeuristic I’d feared, was actually non salacious.

The chocolate-brown case hasn’t changed—but out of it, I saw the inners of a car trunk. The trunk top is painted white while the sides are black vinyl. The floor is a soft gray mat. It was warm inside, suggesting the car is parked in a garage rather than the outside. It’s almost summer, and garages heat up and remain balmy until well into the night.

“What is this thing now?” I tried to figure.

The reveal, honestly, is quite baffling on several levels. Last time the case was in a bedroom, with that young woman being the possessor, but now it’s in a car trunk. Does that mean she is transferring the case to another house, or is she just given to driving about with the case in her car? Either is possible, but it also could be that she has given up possession to someone. This third possibility isn’t to me a good thing at all. I would much prefer if the goods were left in that young woman’s keep—because she looked so non hostile and non abusive.

When it comes to transporting, an additional thing I am so uneasy about is the area of placement itself. Usually when carrying small items by car, a lot can be gleaned from where they are put. If something little is thrown into a trunk, it likely means that item isn’t treasured and may be junked. But on the other hand if it’s placed in the cab, on a backseat or somewhere cuddly, then it’s considered valuable and will be retained. Now Casey’s parts lie in a trunk, and that’s definitely not good.

This reveal truly is disappointing, and even if I had intended to phone my client and tell him, there is now no way I am doing that.

Disillusioned, I grope at anything to cheer me up but, there is none. This case is likely to drag painfully for days or weeks without any resolution.

Black magic is big trouble in this city, and it keeps us busy.
