Chapter 9

A light appeared over my shoulder and I swung around, dropping my phone.

Boone stood behind me, making me want to hug (out of sheer relief) and yell at him (for being stupid and taking unnecessary risks) simultaneously. “I told you—”

“I don’t think he’s breathing.” He nodded toward the body.

I turned around again. The form in front of my door was a man, but not one I recognized. I approached cautiously, wishing for the thousandth time that I had some way to recognize what other people were. I squatted down and reached to take his pulse. Faint traces of darkness etched his soul, but not enough to tempt me. I searched him for wounds, but there didn’t seem to be anything awry, except tendrils of smoke escaping his ears and nose.

“Is he dead?”

Well, that all depended. If he was human, then absolutely he was dead. If he was something paranormal, there was still a chance. I survived Valefor’s attack. So could he. The man’s hand twitched and I released my breath. “I don’t think so.” I picked up my phone and snapped a quick picture of the man’s face, then texted it to Phoenix with a question mark. It didn’t take long for him to respond.

“Where are you?”

“One of yours?” I replied.

“Yeah. Where are you?”

I didn’t reply. If Phoenix came here, then he’d see Boone who was still refusing to leave. That also meant Boone couldn’t be here once the man in front of my door woke up if I was going to keep him out of this mess. “He’s alive. You should go. I can handle this.”

“I’m not leaving you with a body. Shouldn’t we take him to a hospital?”

I shook my head, standing back up. “He’s a jinni. He’ll be fine. He just needs time to heal. Trust me when I say you don’t want someone like him to know about you or what you can do.”

“What about you?” Boone asked, still not budging.

“He won’t hurt me.”

“Great. Then if it is all the same, I’ll just stay with you.”

I sighed. If Boone wouldn’t leave until I did, then I didn’t have a choice but to go without waiting around to question jinni about what he was doing here. “Fine. We’ll both go.”

“What about him.”

I shook my head. “No one will mess with him before he heals. He’ll be fine.”
