CHAPTER FOURTEEN

Sarah waited with Felipe on the abandoned farmhouse’s covered porch as Chauncey walked the farm’s perimeter and tracked over any non-Bear scents.

A bluish, purplish bruise had bloomed along Felipe’s jaw, and for a moment, Sarah regretted marring that handsome face.

Then she remembered why she’d done it.

If he couldn’t figure out what had set her off, he deserved the lick and more just like it. She should have known better than to let her guard down.

She sighed.

“You said you had a lead.” She met his gaze in the dim light. “We’ve got time to waste, so why don’t you tell me about it now.”

He grunted and rubbed his jaw. “One of the fortunetellers slipped out and got word to me through Eric at the inn. She’s craftier than I’d thought. Apparently, she was the one who told Fabian about the Shrews and Patrick.”

Ah.

She always wondered how people got referred to them.

“I think Patrick stumbled over her psychic tripwire when the troupe came into the area. Maybe Patrick walked past her while she was allowed out to do her shopping or something, and she did some investigation from there to find out who he was and who he was associated with. It’s easy enough for that particular fortuneteller to learn a person’s name. She said her spirit guide whispers them to her.”

“That’s a bit more arcane than I was expecting.”

“I don’t try to understand it, just like she doesn’t try to understand what makes me and Fabian what we are.”

“Maybe she doesn’t want to understand. Sometimes, knowing too much can get you in trouble.”

“True. Anyhow, she was able to connect Dana to Patrick with the help of a librarian. Apparently, their names come up frequently together in search engines, whatever that means.”

“I’ll explain it later.”

He narrowed his eyes.

She put up her hands. “It’s not that I don’t think you’re capable of understanding, but I think the vagaries of search engine algorithms are a high-level topic.”

“For a man with no formal education, you mean.”

She cringed.

There was no doubting Felipe was intelligent—on most issues, anyway—but on others, he had to walk before he could run. He had a lot to catch up on. Before, she’d been considering a long-term volunteer gig to be his guide through it all, but she couldn’t do that if she was going to punch him every time he put his foot in his mouth.

With him, she couldn’t help the feelings. Couldn’t power through them. She felt.

She acted.

She regretted.

The drumming of his fingertips against the house’s siding brought her attention back to him.

“Trusting her could lead to a trap, but that’s no different than me trying to take them by surprise, I suppose. They’ll be prepared either way.”

“Where are they now?”

“At the time of the message, they were in West Virginia moving toward Kentucky state line. They circled back around because Jacques got a big advance for a show in the area. They’d been split up into four groups to avoid detection. Hadn’t done a show in weeks, and I guess Jacques’ wallet was starting to feel light.
