Chapter Seven

"What are we going to do?" I paced back and forth over the floor aquarium as a neon-striped fish chased my bare toes. "I can't leave the room looking like this. I mean, look at me." I motioned with my hands from my head to toes, toes to head. "Just look at me."

"I'm looking," Monty said. His amused expression pissed me off.

"You think this is funny? Our whole mission depends on me being able to pull off Pepper Rain. Is your ego so big, that seeing me fail is more important than the job?"

He frowned. "Is that what you think?"

"Well, you don't seem all that upset about it." I crossed my arms over my chest and plopped down onto the edge of the bed.

"And you seem like a petulant child."

"I..." I kind of did. "What are we going to do?"

"First, we need to figure out what curse was placed on the water bottle."

"Let me just think out loud here for a moment. What if it was a targeted attack or if it didn't matter who the hex took out as long as it was one of us." I crossed one leg over the other and began bouncing my toes. "What if it was a leftover hex. Random."

"Like if someone cast a spell on a case of water and put it in random rooms."

I shrugged. "Maybe. It could also be someone outside the cult who knows what they are up to and is trying to stop them."

"You think someone is taking witch law into their own hands? That's a death curse. It has to be. Even if the people they were taking out were the worst witches and warlocks in existence, it would still land the vigilante in jail. First, do no harm and all that good stuff."

Monty nodded. "We need to figure out the source spell to reverse it."

"I'm pretty good with hexes, but," I held up my wrist, "I can't do anything without my magic."

"I know who we can call on."

"Who? We aren't supposed to bring in any other agents."

Monty walked toward the door before I heard the knock. He flung it open, and Marlow Marshall stood on the other side. I dove to the far side of the bed, so she wouldn't see me. What in the good Goddess's name was he thinking just opening the door without checking? Our situation must have short-circuited his brain.

"Come in," I heard him say. "Hurry."

That man had really lost his mind. I peered over the top of the bed and glimpsed him ushering Marlow toward the bedroom. I shook my head, worried that maybe he'd drank the Kool-aid. Was he a pawn in this? Had he been working both sides of the fence on this assignment? A double agent, if you will? It made absolutely no sense. But he had brought up the idea that the hexer could be someone trying to stop the Divinus Paradiso. What if that went against his own personal agenda?

Goddess! How could I be such a greenie to fall for his stand-up guy act? Damn it.
