I stared at him until I could see the seriousness begin to enter his eyes. Then I cleared my throat and turned back for the car. It was better if I didn’t comment on that one—for both of us, I knew.

“Um . . . yeah. Anyway, talking with her was a waste of time. We didn’t get anything out of her.”

Patrick was right behind me, jogging a step ahead to get my door before I could. “We got her number. Plus, we know that she’s definitely a part of all this.”

“I guess so.”

He watched me get into the car, but once I was settled he continued to hold the door, until I glanced up at him.

He spoke sincerely, nothing joking in his expression. “Kate, everything’s going to be okay. This is the sort of thing I’ve been doing for over two hundred years now.” And as I stared into his eyes at that moment, I completely believed in his ability to keep me and my family safe.

He closed my door, and then a minute later we were pulling onto the road, headed back to my house.

“Kate, can I make a suggestion?” He asked suddenly.

I watched him warily. “I guess.”

He flashed a quick smile to me, picking up on my cautious tone and finding it humorous. “Maybe you shouldn’t come Wednesday.

Just have a normal night—go to Aaron’s swim meet.”

I was already shaking my head, turning to look out my window. “Can I ask you something, Patrick?” He paused, and I surreptitiously stole a glance at him. He was watching the road carefully, obviously not wanting to hear my question. “All right,” he finally sighed.

I continued to look out my window, but I could see a hazy reflection of him through the glass. “If I was a Seer with experience, would you take me along?”

I could almost feel him squirm more than see it in the window.

“Honestly? Yes. But I mean no offense against you. It’s just that the situation might get out of hand, and Toni and I—”

“So there’s a need for a Seer?” I clarified. “That’s what I thought. You need to know who the Demons are, don’t you?” He flashed me an annoyed look, but turned quickly away when he thought I’d missed it. “If you come, there can be no more disobedience. Do you understand?” I gave him a slightly sour look. “I’ll be a good little dog, I promise.”

He laughed just a little, though there was a hard edge not meant for me. “Yeah, I guess I should have warned you about that.

Most Demons don’t really see Seers as, well, people.”

“I got that vibe.”

“I’m sorry.”

I felt my heart lighten when I realized that he truly was. Not for the first time, I wondered what his aura would look like. He was just such a mystery—it was hard to imagine. I had a feeling, though, that his aura would be the most complex I’d seen yet.
