“Hey Heidi. How are you doing? It sounds calm over there.” I crossed my fingers that was the case. I hadn’t gotten back to her yet because of the shitstorm here with Nana, so the first thing I did this morning was call her before anything else captured my attention.

The elf’s sigh crackled through the speaker on my cell. “The poltergeist tried to get through your spell for about fifteen hours before giving up, so I’m exhausted. Every once in a while, she pops up to give me grief. Please tell me you’re calling with good news and that is why you haven’t been in touch with me for so long.”

I winced at the acid in her tone. “Again, I apologize. I had an emergency with a curse to deal with and haven’t had the time to do much investigating.”

“Are you kidding me? I have an emergency. I doubt anything can compare to what I am going through. I’m a prisoner in my kitchen and cannot move freely about my house.” Heidi’s voice pierced my eardrum as she yelled at me.

I was helping her and not getting paid. She could be a bit more grateful. I wasn’t omniscient, for crap’s sake. I bit my tongue to keep from letting her know how I felt and reminded myself she was indeed going through something terrible.

“My mother and daughter have been working with me to find some answers. We need a clear picture of what we are dealing with before we know how to handle it.”

My mom and Nina walked in at that moment, both carrying books. Nina’s pile had charred edges from the fire Nana had set in the library. I mouthed thank you to them and returned my attention to Heidi who was screaming.

That wasn’t out of anger. “Heidi! What’s happening?”

She was too busy screaming and shouting curse words to reply to me. I called her name several more times and was about to jump in my car when she finally replied. "That goddamn bitch managed to cut me.”

I gasped. “What? Is she crossing the shield?”

“She didn’t have to. One of the picture frames she tossed at me made it through and sliced my arm. Shit. Now she’s throwing everything she can manage at the barrier.”

I grabbed my purse and keys and was about to take her off speaker phone and head to her house when Tarja walked in the room. “Do not react out of fear, Phoebe. You cannot do anything more if you go there now. Think this through with me. Hattie used to charge the difficult clients for her help, then donate it to shelters in the area.”

“Tarja is right, sweetheart. We need more information, so we can develop a plan. Heidi,” my mom called out as she hovered over the phone in my hand. I sent it down as she talked. “Do you know the poltergeist’s name?”

“I have no idea what her name is. She didn’t speak at first and when she started, all she muttered were threats if I didn’t leave her house.
