I arrived at the squad room bright and early, with a box of donuts in one hand and my head filled with the hope that this week all of the annoying cases would get wrapped up. Ben was making a fresh pot of coffee in the break room. Morris, a detective from the night shift I didn’t really know, was finishing what was left of a pound cake. I slid the donut box in place beside it. The night shift seemed to have better munchies than we did.

“How’d it go?” I asked Ben.

“She’s great.” He smiled widely. “Really great: funny, sweet, completely not freaked out by witches.”

“Well, she is one, so that sort of takes care of that.”

“You know what I mean, and it doesn’t hurt that she looks amazing.” Ben shook his head. “But the best part? When we went out for lunch she—”

“Mal? Your friend is here for you.” Danny put his head in the break room to deliver the message, but with the coffee pot less than full, there was nothing to keep him there.

“Wow, Ben said your friend was hot, but I didn’t believe him,” Morris chimed in, before I could say anything, Ben replied.

“Not her.” Ben looked out of the break room window. “She’s just another scrawny model.”

“Come on, you don’t think she’s hot?” Morris countered.

“The red hair is nice, but I could snap her in half with one good—”

“Stop!” I held up my hand. I refused to stand there as they discussed my friends like they were cuts of meat. “Both of you stop.”

Ben had the decency to look chagrined. “I only meant that Isaura is a real person, like when we went out on Sunday she actually ate lunch, she didn’t pick at her food and complain about her weight.”

“I’m sure,” I said. “I’m going to talk to Anna, my other friend. You know what? It’s day time, and you’re both night shift, so get your macho bullshit out of my squad room.” I was trying to look fierce, but I could see it wasn’t working. I settled for annoyed and rolled my eyes at them as I walked out.

Anna was never up this early. It wasn’t her style, but then I realized she was wearing her extremely crushable sleeveless black travel dress and heels that were only two inches high. Standing next to my desk with a bag over her shoulder and her long red hair pulled back in a perfect ponytail, she looked every inch the model she was.

“Going somewhere?”

“New York for a spring showing,” she said.

“You do know it’s October, right? Spring won’t be for another four months at least.”

“Spring fashions show in fall, fall fashions in spring. Guess they don’t teach that at college, huh?”

“Funny, very funny but I know you’re not here to educate me.”

“Nope, I’ll be back in a couple of days, but this couldn’t wait. It’s about your case.”

“Tell me.” I hoped Anna had some supernatural insight.

“Every Sunday after services, we do this big family supper,
