Chapter Twenty-Two

The witch known as Tina lay in a hospital bed, her eyes closed and her breathing normal.

She was unconscious, and had been since they’d loaded her into an ambulance in downtown Miami. It was a drug-induced coma because no one knew what she would be capable of if she awoke.

Since Claire had decided not to kill her, keeping her sedated was of primary concern. The doctors had saved her life, patching up the bullet wounds.

The witch wasn’t being kept at any public hospital. The FBI had moved her to a private clinic.

Claire, Marissa, and Jack stood outside the hospital room, along with the FBI agents, Frank, and Dean Pritcham. The room had transparent sliding doors, and usually guards stood outside it. They’d left a few minutes ago when the university’s team descended on the clinic.

Tough decisions were about to be made.

“You should have killed her.” Lance’s eyes were hard as he looked at the unconscious witch. “It would have saved us a lot of trouble.”

“I for one am glad she didn’t.”

Claire’s head whipped to the right as the sound of rustling leaves filled the small waiting area. She didn’t see any shorts or shirts hanging from a nonexistent body, but she didn’t need to. It was Al doing the talking.

“We had a deal,” the ghost continued. “She honored it. If Tina dies, I die.”

Lance didn’t look in the unseen ghost’s direction. He kept staring straight into the hospital room. “A lot of other ghosts would have died too. Namely, the ones still running around in Miami. It’s been three days, and there’s no chance the place will be livable until this woman is dead.”

Claire understood the heat she was taking now from the FBI agents. While Tina had chased away the ghosts on top of the roof, she’d done nothing for the rest of the city. Then the FBI had drugged her, and now… Well, things were still a mess.

Remington was quiet, standing on the other side of the sliding doors. He was looking in at Tina, too.

“I’m not sure what you want me to do now,” Claire commented. “I certainly am not going to walk in there and smother a prisoner who is unconscious and not a threat.”

Lance turned with both eyebrows raised. “Not a threat? Her mere existence is a threat. As long as she’s alive, the ghosts remain in Miami. If she dies, they do too.”

“And,” Al interrupted, “I’m not okay with that. To be perfectly honest, I’m on the opposite side of this guy here. I think he should probably be fired for…I don’t know? He hangs out with Frank, so probably public drunkenness or some kind of work-related intoxication. Regardless, he should be fired, and his thoughts ignored.”

Claire stifled a smile. Al was a funny bastard when he wanted to be, but he was also right. Claire wasn’t simply going to let him die. That time had passed. “Dean Pritcham, what do you think?”

The dean moved to one of the chairs and sat down, crossing one leg over the other.
