CHAPTER 15

T he three of us headed into town where we had to drop Oliver off at the police – er, Enforcers’ – station.

We headed up to the second floor of the main town hall where a wizard with darker hair looked up when Ali entered with Oliver passing in front.

“What have you done now?” the wizard asked dubiously.

“Oh, you know, just doing your job for you, Jack,” Ali replied with a grin. “Meet Oliver Farwood. You might recognize him from such films as the CCTV footage from the theft at the vampire Athan Antescu’s home the other day.”

The wizard raised his eyebrows. “You’ve been busy, then.”

“Hey, when paranormals don’t trust you to get the results for them, they come to me.”

“You know that’s not what happened. He just wanted an extra set of eyes on the case. In any case, that’s pretty obviously him,” Jack said. “Good work, Ali. You should consider coming onto the force as an Enforcer. It turns out you’re actually pretty good at this.”

“You just think I might forgive you if we have to work together. Not a chance.”

The wizard shrugged. “Fine. Who are your friends?”

“They’re from Fairy Falls. Full disclosure, Oliver here is also a suspect in a murder that took place there yesterday afternoon. It turns out this wizard – whose opinions on witches are firmly entrenched in the nineteenth century – didn’t take it super well when the witch he was seeing broke up with him.”

“So you’re Enforcers?” Jack asked us, and Scarlett nodded.

“We work with the Enforcers in Fairy Falls,” she lied, and Jack narrowed his eyes.

“Boy have I heard that before from the witch standing next to you. So is it safe to assume you have no authority whatsoever and you’ve fallen under Ali’s bad influence?”

“Excuse me, I am a fantastic influence,” Ali interrupted before either me or Scarlett had the opportunity to reply.

Jack snorted in obvious disbelief. “You taught an eight-year-old witch how to hex her classmates so their tongues would turn to snakes last week. Do you know how many calls I had to field from angry parents about it?”

“Well, maybe their kids shouldn’t have been bullying the witch. They deserved it.”

“That’s why I told them all we’d investigate, but so far we haven’t found the culprit. Now, thanks for dropping Oliver off. I’ll take it from here.”

“Oh, he also can’t hear you right now,” Scarlett said. “We wanted to have a private conversation, so he’s had a deafness spell cast on him.”

“Good to know. Thanks,” Jack said, standing up and pointing his wand at Oliver Farwood. “See you, Ali.”

“I hope not,” Ali replied with a wave, and Scarlett and I followed after her as she turned and walked out of the station.

“Well, it sure sounds like there’s a story there between you and Jack,” Scarlett said.

“We used to be best friends until he betrayed me,” Ali replied, her mouth firm. “He’s been trying to make it up to me ever since.”

“What did he do, sleep with your boyfriend or something?” I joked.
