Belle had no idea what they were talking about when she sat on the sofa by Walker’s side.

“So you think the other one can be taken down by this too?” Veronica asked, sipping from a glass of thick red liquid.

“I think so, yes,” Amy said, crossing her arms under her chest in a pose that resembled that of an old granny who was annoyed by some kid disturbing her knitting. “Why do you doubt me on this?”

“Because you sent me on a wild goose chase to San Quentin Prison.”

“I did not. Averbach was there. And the dust of those bones is part of the new creature.”

“But you knew that already, and you just sent me there to get your reward for this.”

“My reward is seeing you do some legwork, Miss Veronica Melbourne.” Amy remarked so tartly that it seemed to throw Veronica. “Besides, this is interesting. I might be able to actually recreate what Ida Averbach, one of the most powerful witches in the world, did. That’s an exciting opportunity.”

Belle saw the incredulous look on Veronica’s face. She wondered what the relationship between those two women was. She could not figure it out. They were acting like an old married couple, but they were clearly not an item.

Amy got up and sat down next to Belle. “You’re alright?” She touched her leg.

Belle nodded. “Yeah, I’m good.” She still felt dazed. “What happened?”

Amy nodded at Walker. “I’ll let him tell you. He’ll be better at it.” She got up and winked at Veronica to follow her into the kitchen.

Belle was still dazed, but she did have good hearing. She could follow most of the conversation between the two, and it worried her. She did not understand all of it, but the words were disconcerting enough. Moreover, she knew she was the only one they could be talking about.

She glanced over at Walker, who wrapped a comforting arm around her shoulders when he saw the nervous look on her face.

“So, what do you do for a living?” Walker asked her casually, trying to make conversation to take her mind of off the events of the night and the conversation that was taking place in the kitchen.

Belle frowned at him. Surely he knew that already. “I work the truck stops.”

“Ah,” Walker said. “You mean you work the register there? Don’t have to be ashamed of that. It’s an honorable job.”

Belle gave him a blank look. Either he was deliberately ignoring the obvious truth there, which was quite sweet, or he was really that naive.

“I work in banking. It’s pretty dull in comparison. It’ll be a lot more fun to see different people all the time.”

“Yeah, yeah, it is.” Belle looked over to the kitchen, but Veronica and Amy had stopped talking. Amy seemed to be busying herself with the teapot now.

Belle almost felt like she should get up when Veronica came back into the room. Veronica seemed a very imposing woman when she wanted to be. At least, that is how Belle saw her.
