“I’m coming with you.”

Ethan’s response was almost automatic. There was

nothing he could do that Mark and Benton couldn’t, beyond

finding scents. And this thing left as little in odors as it

did clues.

But it was better than standing here. Better than

wondering if the soul sucker would follow the pattern it

had set so far. Wondering if, in three days’ time, they’d

find Janie’s body, sucked dry or mutilated.

Benton stabbed a finger his way. “You take one step

toward that house, and your ass is in the nearest jail cell.”

“Captain—”

“I’m serious, Morgan. Keep your nose clear.” Benton

glanced at Mark. “Let’s go.”

Ethan looked at his partner, and Mark nodded at the

unspoken request. The two men walked out the door. For

several minutes, Ethan stood there, weighing his need to

follow them against the wisdom of staying put for the

moment. He swore and locked the door then headed into

Gwen’s cabin.

Gwen was at the small table, staring into her crystal

ball. He sat beside Kat on the sofa and gently touched her

neck. “How are you feeling?”

“Tired. Sore.” She shrugged. “It’s to be expected.”

At least most of the bruising and swelling had gone

down. Those herbs were definitely miraculous—either that,

or Kat had supernatural self-healing abilities, which he’d

seen in werewolves, but never before in a human.

“Where’s your boss headed?” she continued.

“Another kid has gone missing.”

Her hand caressed his and squeezed gently. “We’ll find

her. Before the three days are up, we’ll find her.”

His smile was grim. “I wish I shared your certainty.”

Wished he could share it with Luke. But he’d learned the

hard way that some promises were never meant to be, and

he wasn’t about to inflict false hope on his brother. Not

when they both knew the reality.

She touched his face, forcing him to meet her gaze.

“Believe it,” she said softly, “because it’s the truth.”
