Chapter 5

“You’re sure this is a good idea?” Marin asked for the second time since Jack had told her Conrad’s house was the next stop.

“No.”

“We have no idea how he does…whatever it is he does.” Marin continued driving to Conrad’s, even as she pointed out what an incredibly poor choice that might be.

Sometimes, Marin was a halfway decent employee.

“Whatever it is he does? How about stealing people’s souls?”

Marin shot him a sidelong glance. “That’s a little melodramatic.”

Jack stared out the passenger window, considering her accusation. Bullshit. “Not at all. He rips away those things that make us who we are: our experiences, our memories, and all the emotions that go along with them. If that’s not stealing someone’s soul, then—well, it’s stealing something just as vital. Someone has to stop him.”

“I agree. But maybe we do a little research first.”

Jack snorted. “Right. You have an expert on soul-sucking psychics.” He shot her an annoyed look—and that was when he caught it. Uncertainty. “You do. You actually have an expert. Who do you know and why aren’t we reaching out?”

Silence.

“Pull over, Marin.”

Marin sighed and pulled the car over to the shoulder.

“I know IPPC has nothing. I sent Harrington an update after our midnight meeting with Rose. Harrington’s the cog that keeps everything turning in that organization. If IPPC had any information, he would know about it and have at least passed on a warning by now.”

Reluctantly, Marin turned to Jack, hands still on the wheel. “IPPC may not—but my dad might know something.”

“Your father works for IPPC—so isn’t that the same difference?”

Marin laughed. “Sure. Like Dad’s sitting down with some tech and cataloguing hundreds of years of experiences. I don’t see that happening anytime soon. He’s security, not a walking database.” She shook her head slightly. “But I’m sure he’s helpful enough when he can be.”

“So?”

Marin pinched the bridge of her nose. “So—give me a second. Dad and I aren’t exactly tight right now.” She scrunched her eyes shut. “And it’s not like he’s a walking encyclopedia of rare magical talents.”

Jack knew something was up between her and her father—but he hadn’t asked. Didn’t want to be involved, because his own family drama was more than enough for him. Well, shit. “Do we need to talk about it?”

Marin opened her eyes. Distracted, she looked at her phone but didn’t pick it up. “What?”

“Do you want to talk about whatever it is that’s going on with you and your dad?”

Marin gave him a perplexed look. “Not really. Not now.” She took a deep breath and blew it out. Then she picked up her phone and dialed.

“Hi. Yeah. Quick question. What do you know about magic that steals memory?” Marin tilted her head so she could hold the phone against her shoulder then reached across Jack for a pad and pen in her glove box. “No, not total amnesia. And still walking and talking.” She jotted a few notes down. “Yeah—selective memory loss.” She turned to Jack and asked, “Happy or childlike demeanor? Or more confused? Confused, right? Jack’s with me, Dad.
