Chapter 25

Kira had stood up for herself quite admirably, but I couldn’t count on her safety the next time. And Clara—would Marina go after the human teenager next?

Just because my sister was off limits didn’t mean my fae employer had lost her leverage points. “Lupe,” I started, not knowing how I’d explain my absence, just knowing I needed to get out of there fast.

But the older woman wasn’t paying any attention. Instead, she’d pulled a key out of her pocket and tossed it to Kira. “For the boathouse,” she explained. “If you girls want to get in a canoe trip, this is your window. We’re shutting down camp in two hours.”

“Shutting down camp?” Harper’s face fell. She glanced my way, waiting for an explanation. But I had none to give. Had we failed so horrendously that Lupe planned to put a new team together? I shrugged at my sister as the older woman explained.

“Three-day vacation for the ‘dults.” Her eyes sparkled as she exchanged a grin with Kira. “Although I expect them to work on their swordplay while they’re away.”

“They need to,” Kira agreed, as if she and Lupe were co-captains. But she accepted the dismissal, heading over to Harper and Clara and leaving the “’dults” alone.

Which was Lupe’s cue to return her attention to us. I braced myself for recriminations...but none came. Instead, our boss was all business.

“Grab two practice swords and two real swords apiece. I suspect you’ll have no problem finding someone to spar with during your vacation.”

Vacation? This felt far too easy. I needed a way to bow out of Samhain Shifter events for a day or two and Lupe gave us all a leave of absence?

Of course, there was still the issue of Harper to be dealt with. I glanced at the kids, who were whispering in a cluster rather than racing for the boathouse. Kira nodded and my sister smiled. A real grin, not the pinched-lip fake she usually treated everyone to. How would Harper look when I told her I was sending her away in order to do yet another job?

As if she’d sensed my thoughts, Harper’s gaze met mine and her face fell. “Would it hurt your feelings...?” she started, before spluttering to a halt. Her head bowed and she scuffed her feet. Turning to Kira, she muttered. “I’d better not.”

My gut clenched. This time, the ease of getting what I wanted could likely be attributed to Tank. He must have thumb-typed Kira while I wasn’t looking and the older girl had invited my sister to return home with her just as we’d discussed.

Still, predictably, Harper felt guilty about abandoning me. “Hey.” Ignoring the fact that Lupe wasn’t quite done with us, I strode over to my sister and dropped down to peer into her face. “No, it wouldn’t hurt my feelings if you and Clara go home with Kira. I’ll find a way to see you before the end of break.”

“Awesome!” Like a light switch, Harper’s joy burst out of her. She wasn’t just going along with the other girls now.
