Chapter Nine

“What was that about?” she asked as she righted the overturned table.

“Showing me this place is not safe, I guess, but then why play games?”

“Was it just a game? Did you see the poltergeist?”

“I saw what it did, not it.”

She considered that. What was Ornis up to? She’d thought of him mostly a nuisance, a demon who worked to use humans but had little real interest in direct battles. Now, she wasn’t so sure. They needed to understand the plan. Had she been shepherded to meet Mitch, and it was all part of some larger design? The question of Ornis could not be instantly resolved. She had another one that maybe could. “Only my father could have given you that sword. Tell me about it.”

“My father told me he was thinking of investing in a Tucson development plan. He met with yours about it and took me. When it was over, your father, pulled me aside, said there were things I needed to know that he could teach me. Maybe it’s why my father had brought me although he wasn’t into the supernatural—other than making people want to see his films maybe.” He laughed. “Want a whiskey?”

She shook her head. She needed a clear head. He poured himself a shot from an outdoor cupboard. Returning to her, he sat on the lawn chair again. She moved to sit across from him. “I saw you then,” he said.

“How?”

“You and your sisters came in. You were still a girl from. You haven’t changed a lot.”

“I don’t remember.”

“I imagine your father had many such meetings.”

She laughed. “Not with big movie stars. I remember your father. He was a little older than our main heartthrobs of the time, but we were impressed. Dad shoed us out though. How old were you? I can’t believe we wouldn’t have noticed you.”

“I kept a low profile around my father. I was sitting in a chair listening to the two men talk when you girls burst in.”

“My sisters and I didn’t realize how much of a wizard our father had been until recently. He kept that from us. We saw it as a female business, magick.” She smiled at the memory.

“Well, he was very powerful. That’s why it was such a shock when I heard he had been killed.”

“To us also, but we can be killed, and he was riding a motorcycle, which can be dangerous, except he was skilled and not a risk taker. That night he had chosen to not wear a helmet for whatever his reasons. However it happened, reality is what we have to accept.”

“Sometimes it is hard to tell the difference—between reality and what isn’t.”

She drew in a breath. “Maybe I do need that whiskey.”

He smiled and went over to pour her a shot and refresh his. “So we have two problems,” he said when he returned. “Finding out what Ornis really wants, who he is using, and then there is us.”

“You mean-- whether there should be an us?”

“It’s on my mind.”

“You are plainspoken.
