“WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO MY DOOR?”

I winced. She was going to blame me. That much I could see coming. I could be in a different state, and the woman would blame me for everything.

We were upstairs in my room when she and Jemmy came in. Rhonda had called her and told her what’d happened, and she and Jemmy had made record time coming back from the herb man’s house. Though why buy herbs this time of night? I decided it really wasn’t a good idea to ask.

The minute they saw Dags—and Mom got a load of the book sticking out of his chest—the two of them grabbed Rhonda and went into a powwow in the other room. I pulled a chair up next to my bed and watched Dags breathe. He was stable but unconscious. Rhonda had been a basket case with a purpose since getting him inside.

I’d thought nothing of undressing him, wanting to see more of him. Rhonda seemed a little nervous and bolted from the room when I removed his pants. What? He’s wearing boxers!

Uh . . . no. He wasn’t. Wow . . . I didn’t know Dags went commando.

I got him under the cover and downshifted into just me. In this form—me—my eyesight wasn’t as defined or shaped to the things that lurked in the shadows, but was still aware of them. And they of me. As Wraith, I could see the book burning bright in his chest. But I noticed as me—

I saw something—it just wasn’t a defined book. It looked more like—

Well—like when a TV network pixels out a brand logo sometimes.

I blinked and put my hand on the area. My hand looked fine, but the skin beneath it was just blurry—except for the bullet wound, which was trickling blood—no book. Nada. Shifting back to Wraith, there it was. Downshift, blurry.

What the hell?

“You’re going to get dizzy doing that,” Jason said as he came in with a pan of hot water and clean towels. He had a pack of sterile gauze tucked under his arm and tape carried on a finger. “You can’t see the book as a human—I mean you should see something.”

“Why is this?” I took the pan from him and set it on the nightstand. Headless Mary was watchin’ me. “I mean, before when I would OOB, I could still see things when I was back in my body.”

“I don’t know the rules when it comes to how your perception works,” he said. “I just know that when I am not a part of another’s soul, my own perceptions shift and change. Like this.” He set the rest of the stuff on the bed. “I’m locked into what Jason perceives. Looking through the eyes of a human in the physical plane. Maybe your own perception has moved with your change.”

The way he was taking about Jason, I thought I was speaking to Mephistopheles. I watched his movements—patient and deliberate. There was no hesitation as he opened the gauze, neatly folding each piece before he set it upon one of the clean towels.
