Chapter Eleven

My fingers shook as I picked up the envelope. It had been left in my letterbox in the hallway, but I had resisted reading it. The writing… it was way too familiar. And, not in the same way as my father’s.

“Are you okay?” Gerard was outside the apartment entrance.

Tucking the letter into my pocket, I nodded and followed him to the car. Apparently, we were going on a little road trip. We had found the address to Harry’s private home. And we were going to collect the spell he had spoken about.

“I’m surprised you’ve not offered to drive,” my partner said as we both climbed in.

“On the motorway? You’ve got to be kidding me. Have you heard of the term woman driver? When it comes to motorways, I embody that term. However, any other type of driving, I’m amazing. So, don’t be thinking you can be sexist with any remark about women drivers.”

His smile would have usually lifted my mood, but the laugh that came out was forced. We both knew that I was pretending to be okay. When, really, the letter was burning a hole in my pocket.

“I got you a hot chocolate.”

Handing me the takeaway coffee cup, he used his other hand to start the engine. I held the cup in front of me, frowning at it in a most intense fashion.

“How did you know I like hot chocolate?”

His laugh made my muscles finally relax. We were on duty. The letter would have to wait until later. I had to focus on the mission at hand. Harry had given us a clue about our criminal mastermind. She… was a she.

“Who doesn’t like hot chocolate?” He winked as he steered the car into the flowing traffic. “Have you had any more thoughts on the tattoo from that photograph?”

Ah, yes, Lucia’s picture had shown her with another woman. The head had been cut out, but her arm was clearly visible. The tattoo on her wrist had been a pentagram with roses and vines wrapped around it.

“No, I can’t quite place where I’ve seen it before. Which is so frustrating. My memory is usually shit-hot.”

Taking a sip of my drink as Gerard successfully navigated London’s roads, I smiled to myself when the warm sweet liquid filtered down my throat.

“You look like you’re enjoying that far too much.” His glance was brief before he focused on the road again. “Maybe the tattoo doesn’t mean anything personal. Maybe it’s quite a common one.”

Shaking my head, I closed my eyes and bought the image into my mind. A flash of someone kept trying to show, but I couldn’t grasp them. “I… I think I’ve seen someone with that tattoo. It must be someone I was connected with because I get a bit of a heavy heart when I think of them.”

“A heavy heart?” Gerard manoeuvred the car onto the entrance of the motorway. “You possess a heart?”

Ha bloody ha. He was in a sprightly mood considering we were all still linked. We had promised not to use our magic as much as possible.
