Finally!

Shay yanked her phone out of her pocket and turned it on as she hurried down the LAX jetway. She winced as she spotted the missed call from Brownstone.

She played the message he’d left as she stepped into the boarding gate.

“Hey, Shay, it’s me. You know me…I hate to ask anyone for a favor, but I’m trying to be real about how shit might end up in the next few days.” He took a deep breath. “Look, don’t know if you’re coming back, but if you are, don’t come to LA. I’d rather you stayed with Alison until I figure out how to take care of the Harriken and get this hit taken care of. The Harriken know about her, even if they don’t know where she is. For all I know, they might still think they can weasel her mother’s inheritance out of her.

“Yeah, I know what you’re thinking. She’s in a magic school surrounded by a bunch of wizards and witches who could turn their asses into toads or whatever. I thought she’d be safe there, but now I’m not sure. Maybe it’s like in Raiders of the Lost Ark where the guy has the sword and Indy just pulls out the gun. You know, like don’t bring a magic wand to a gunfight. How many of these magical asshole professors have ever been in a fight? How do I know they don’t have some stupid rules about killing bastards who come for them?”

“Anyway, I’d appreciate it if you make sure Alison is okay. And thank you. You make a hell of an aunt.”

Shay let out a sigh, her left hand cradling her forehead.

A few more steps moved Shay away from the stream of disembarking people, and she rubbed the back of her neck as she thought about her next course of action.

Damn it, Brownstone. Why did you have to make this harder than it already was?

The field archaeologist hurried toward baggage claim, still trying to decide what the hell she should even do.

Brownstone could be right about the school.

Of course, a hitman who could use magic was a different matter entirely.

Shay stepped on an escalator. Even if the hitman didn’t have the same power level or skills as the teachers at the school, he still might be able to take them out.

The problem with violence was that people misunderstood what made a dangerous killer versus a victim.

The key wasn’t what tool a person used.

If Brownstone had made that call he was in over his head, which meant he needed her help. But he’d also asked her to watch Alison.

A long groan escaped Shay’s lips.
