Sunshine did a real y poor job of trying to reach me through my bedroom window. The sky was gray but in one spot it looked like the sun was trying to tunnel its way through and it just wasn’t working.

I rol ed over onto my stomach and looked at the clock. I had a pretty good internal clock, so I couldn’t believe it when I saw that it was noon. I’d slept four hours and I didn’t feel like I had the luxury of time.

Kali was sitting at the end of the bed, looking regal as ever, and just staring at me.

Purposely I did not think about last night or the wee hours of the morning. I wanted a shred of normalcy, if only for a few moments of make-believe. That everything was going to work out and that no one else was going to be hurt or kil ed.

“What?” I said to Kali as I scooted up in bed. “I fed you last night before I left.” She looked down her cat nose at me before lightly bounding off the bed and striding out of my room. I blinked as I saw the shredded panties al over my floor. I groaned and flopped back down on my pil ow. Not the panties again.

Urgh.

I climbed out of bed and took a hot shower just because it felt good. Elvin cleansing spel s were nice, but sometimes the real thing was better.

When I’d finished tel ing Rodán everything that had happened, he ordered me to go home and get some sleep because I’d need it.

We had a long day and night ahead of us. He would be cal ing a meeting this evening and then he and I had to appear before the Paranorm Council.

Once I’d dressed and tossed the scraps of panties into the garbage, I grabbed a cereal bar out of my pantry and a bottle of green tea from my fridge. I chased the cereal bar with the tea, then headed downstairs to the office.

The moment I walked into the office, Olivia said, “Turn your purple ass around and head back out.”

“Excuse me?” I said as I looked at the dead-serious Olivia. “I know I didn’t cal , but—” Olivia turned her large-screen computer monitor toward me. My lips parted and I wanted to take a step back in horror as I read The New York Times’ online headline:

TWENTY-SEVEN MURDERED

CITYWIDE KILLLING SPREE

“That doesn’t count al of the missing people.” Olivia grabbed her sweat jacket. “Twenty-seven is just the number of bodies found around the city.”

I held my hand
