We waited until Carey had returned from school before asking Allie if we could head out for a quick errand.
âOh, go ahead,â Allie said. âI know youâre up to something, both of you.â
âThree of us,â added Mart from behind us. âDonât think Iâve forgotten my promise.â
âPromise?â Jia gave me a questioning look.
âHe said that heâd glue himself to me like a shadow to stop me getting into trouble.â It probably wasnât wise to try another break-in attempt, but at least I wasnât acting alone this time around.
I still hadnât heard from Drew, except for his brief text to say good morning earlier. I tried not to think too hard about it. He had a lot going on, after all, and now the burden of the investigation entirely fell upon his head. I wondered if heâd spoken to the witches himself yet.
Allie waved us off when we left the inn. I doubted sheâd be happy if she found out we planned to break into the witchesâ headquarters again, but she wasnât part of the coven herself, and she knew why Iâd gone against the leader the way I had. Sheâd also paid the price for my actions against Mina Devlin by being unable to find a replacement bartender until Jia had come along, but it wasnât until yesterday that Iâd realised the true extent of their lingering faith in their former leader.
âAllie will be calling me a bad influence on you by the weekâs end,â I remarked to Jia as we made our way to the bridge. âEspecially as this is my third attempt to get into the witchesâ headquarters this week.â
âYou really want to break into the place in broad daylight?â Mart drifted above the water, keeping pace with us.
âGot a better idea?â I strode across the bridge. âWith magic, we donât need to wait for the cover of night, besides.â
âWhat did you use to get in last time?â Jia asked me.
âAn unseen spell,â I said. âI also undid the booby traps on their door, but they must have heard me anyway.â
âCan we get into the storeroom without walking through the lobby?â
Without my shadows? Unlikely. âI could try a transportation spell instead, but Iâve never actually been inside the storeroom before, and it seems a waste of energy when itâs only a short distance from the front door. Besides, theyâll see the flash of light.â
âThen we need them to be distracted.â
âI can create a diversion upstairs,â Mart offered. âKnock a few things over. They probably donât know I exist, so I can sow some confusion and make sure nobodyâs downstairs while you two do your thing.â
Jia eyed him. âAre you sure?â
A grin spread across his face. âI havenât wreaked any chaos in ages. This will be fun.â
âIf you say so.â I heaved out a breath. âRight, we need to work out the timing. Mart, youâll have a head start. Once you have everyone on the upper floor, come and give us a signal, and weâll run in.â
âWith unseen charms on, in case anyone comes downstairs,â added Jia.
