CHAPTER 16

I dug my fingernails into the wooden armrests.

She looked like she had that night in the middle of the road. She was wearing a track suit. The same hair, the same thin, dark lips set off against the pale skin, the same circles around the eyes, the orbs set far back in the skull.

She was looking right at me with that same awful stare.

The people standing around her at the bar didn’t see her. I thought about pointing her out to David but remembered how that had ended the first time. All I could do was stare back at her.

And then she suddenly started to move, walking slowly, never taking those terrible eyes off mine. I fought the sick feeling bubbling up inside me. I had to find out what she wanted.

“Okay,” I said to David, still looking at the ghost. “I’m gonna call it a night. I’m beat.”

He shot up out of his chair and kissed me, giddy and giggling, the happiest I’d seen him since the drive back from Portland.

“See you tomorrow, right?” he said. “I think we’re working together for a few hours in the afternoon.”

“Yeah,” I said, putting on my coat and grabbing my bag. “See you then.”

She headed for the door and I followed.

She went up Bond and then turned on Minnesota. She walked past a wine shop and down an alley. It was lined by brick buildings.

This was the place in the visions. The alley that had felt familiar but that I hadn’t been able to place.

She stopped and turned, looking at me with those eyes. A terrible coldness spread out from her.

And I saw it for the first time, right before she faded into the bricks, disappearing completely.

Her throat.

The gash in her throat and the thick stream of black blood running down her neck.
