Chapter 23

Phillip snapped his fingers and dropped the ward.

I walked over to the others and recapped what we’d discussed.

“Do you trust him?” Mercy asked, folding her arms. “How do you know he won’t double-cross you and just try to kill you once he gets the lamp back?”

I shrugged, but Phillip said, “Yes, I trust him.”

I looked at him and asked, “Why are you so sure that he will abide by his word?”

“I did a truth-seeking spell when he was calling off his plant goons,” Phillip answered with an indifferent shrug.

“Well, aren’t you smart?”

Phillip looked over his shoulder and winked at me. “I think he’s a good man. I also think we need as many powerful allies as possible. These soulmates have their followers already; we need supporters too. He told us how to go back. We should try it.”

“So, it’s time for us to go to America now?” Ed asked.

I sighed deeply. “Yeah, I guess.” I looked at the group. “Wait, you’re coming, Ed?”

“Bloody right, I am! I’ve never been to America, so why not go on a free holiday?”

“Who’s going to run the show while you’re gone?” I asked.

“I have a second that I trust and Mercy will keep everyone in line too, right, darlin’?” He asked, tilting his head to the woman.

She gave him a glare. “Don’t call me darlin’. And yes, nothing to worry about here. After we’ve mourned our dead, you can go. Time to stop these arseholes from hurting anyone else.” She said with a sour face.

I nodded and looked to Phillip. “So, when do we go?” I asked.

He gave me a weak smile. “I was thinking I should stay behind.”

“With me?” Mercy asked with an overly-delighted grin.

Phillip gave her an uncomfortable smile. “I guess?” he asked more than said.

Mercy put her sword in the sheath hanging from her belt hook. “Yea! Stay with me. Let Mina leave alone. She doesn’t need you, as long as you don’t die. It’s okay!” she exclaimed, bouncing.

“Well, then you’d have to take good care of him, love,” Ed said with a wink.

Mercy smiled wickedly. “Oh, that wouldn’t be a problem.”

I cocked an eyebrow and looked at Phillip. “You sure you want to stay?”

He gave an embarrassed cough. “Yes. Yes, I’m staying.”

“I thought we both had to do the magic together to get back.”

He ran his hand over his face. “I need time, Amina.”

I sighed but held in my growing annoyance with a tight voice. “We’ve had plenty of time. I need you to come back, Phillip. You have to help us find the lamp and other stuff I’m too tired to think about right now. We only have two weeks before that Jinn comes back and kills us. And, yes, I know you can help from here, but you have to redeem yourself. Look, Phillip, if people in Silver Spring are going to believe us about this threat and that we are the new soulmates, they have to see us together. We can, together, heal the people you’ve maimed.
