Chapter Twenty

§

Levi is trying to calm me down and figure out what happened. He pulled the jeep onto the property seconds after I ran back to the trailer with the wolfdog at my heels. He claims he didn’t pass a car on the way in or see anyone at the edge of the road with or without a light.

“It was Silas,” I say. Levi’s watching me pace all ten feet inside the trailer.

“Are you sure it wasn’t a tree branch that pulled your hair? Or a bird or bat or something?”

I stomp off to retrieve the things I left by the police tape with Levi trailing behind me. The lantern is turned on its side, the smudge sticks have been put out, and some rock salt has been dumped.

“Do you think a tree branch did this?” I say. Levi shrugs.

“Hey, Silas Turley. Show yourself. Stop hiding in the bushes and face me like a real man. Are you some kind of pervert that stalks women in the woods?”

“Jack, now come on. Knock it off. The guy’s a hillfolk, whatever that is. He could be dangerous and crazy. You got spooked is all. Don’t be mad too. I brought back pie… and deep fried pickles.”

“Great, that’s just what I need,” I say, kicking dirt towards the hill.

“I thought so. We’ll sit in the jeep and wait for the echo mystic while you have a snack. You can snap some pictures to put on your website. You know you should be doing that anyway. It’s good marketing.”

I mumble to myself and stomp off to the jeep with Levi behind me. “Someone snuck up on me. I was watching a ghost light. Maybelle said it would appear to help me find the ecto-mist. Silas doesn’t want me to find it. Well,” I yell towards the hill, “he can like it or not but I’m going to find it, and I’m not going to be intimidated off this job.”

Levi takes my arm and opens the door of the jeep. “Yeah, well running out of the woods and screaming like you’ve lost your mind is one way to convince him you can’t be messed with. Come on now, get in so you can eat your pickles.”

“Be quiet,” I say, getting into the jeep, which now smells like a vat of frying grease. “Tomorrow, I’m going over that hill and look for the man. If I find where he lives, I’m going to knock on his door– provided he doesn’t live in a swamp– and tell him what I really think of him and his hillbilly friends.”

“We’re meeting with Emma and Gail Joubert tomorrow.”

“You’re on a first name basis with the lawyer now? So what’s the meeting with Gail for anyway?”

“You said you wanted to meet with her.”

“No, I said watch Dexter’s eyes when you told him we wanted to talk to her. What I wanted was to know his reaction.”

Levi’s dipping his pie into a runny container of ice cream. “Oh, you were setting our client up to look guilty.
