way, Krebs, Nick, that guy who’s come around? He’s

a non-living, non-breathing vampire. Krebs deals with

vamps in his website building business, but all his

work is done over the phone or online. I begged him

to do it that way for his own protection, and he thinks

he’s humoring me by honoring my request. Sometimes, I think he feels they’re like some underground

club, wannabes and not the real thing.”

“And definitely not the same as facing one.” He

gazed at Irma, huddled in her seat. “You’re sure it

was Clive?”

“Just because he didn’t look the way he did before

and it’s been more than seventy years doesn’t mean

I can’t recognize the devil.” Her face tightened with

inner pain. “Do me a favor and just please, go away.

I am not in the mood to discuss strategy right now. I

do not want to discuss intel or what needs to be done

next or even what an asshole you still are.”

Nick wanted to tell her they needed to do just that,

but he mentally agreed this wasn’t the time. Plus, he

wanted to make a few calls. He inclined his head in

a brief nod.

“I will contact you later.” As he walked away he

saw Jazz in his mind’s eye. Anger and fear warred in

her eyes and her skin was as pale as parchment.

Once, he would have remained and done his best to

comfort her. Now, he knew it was best if he left and

allowed her to cool down on her own, no matter how

badly he wanted to stay.

No woman ever made him feel as alive, well, as

alive as he could be, the way Jazz did.

Jazz didn’t think anything unusual when she heard

the faint sound of voices coming from the carriage

house as she crossed the back lawn. Since she didn’t

require sleep, Irma spent many a night watching television, and Jazz kept her well supplied with DVDs.

Except… she picked up the pace and used the door at

the side of the building. Two heads swiveled to face

her. One was gray-haired, the other dark. It was the

dark-haired one that captured her attention.

“What are you doing here?” Okay, her less than

polite greeting would boot her right out of Miss

Manners’ class, but she had come out here to

comfort Irma, since she figured the woman was still

upset over the day’s events. Considering this was

pretty much the worst magickal situation Irma had

ever had to deal with, Jazz felt she should come out

to make sure she was all right. Except right now, she

felt something that suspiciously felt like jealousy.

Nick rose from the chair he’d set next to the car’s

passenger door. “I thought I would come by and see

Irma. I wanted to make sure she was all right.”

Jazz shot a quick glance in Irma’s direction.

When she last saw the ghost, Irma had been a weepy

mess. Now, obviously thanks to Nick’s attention, she

was downright perky.

“Wasn’t that nice of Nicky to stop by?” Irma

chirped. Now that Jazz had cleansed vehicle and

ghost, Irma’s gray curls were back in beauty shop

order and her white-gloved hands rested lightly on

her navy handbag. There was lingering sorrow in her

blue eyes, but she looked loads better than she had a

few hours earlier.
