Chapter 18

For the rest of the train trip to Vegas, no one wanted to sit near Sam and me. She had blood all over her clothes from the purse snatcher. I tried not to be grossed out by her entity’s insistence that Sam lick up the floor with her tongue, but eww. She kissed me with that mouth.

“I can hear your thoughts, Kingsley.”

Oops. I changed my thoughts and gave Sam a flashback of what we had just done standing up in the vestibule.

She giggled, a sound I loved.

Sam had handed over the purse snatcher to the conductor, who had handed the thief over to the railroad cops at an emergency stop on a siding—though the thief had denied the incident and complained that I’d tripped him, he had a bunch of stolen wallets on him. Yeah, jail time was in store for that meth head. He didn’t even have a ticket.

I was questioned for all of twenty seconds. Somehow, the railroad cops had a hard time believing that a prominent defense attorney from Yorba Linda would have any part in tripping anyone purposely. And certainly Sam, five feet four and a bit of curves, looked to the railroad cops like a pale, non-lethal weapon.

The security detail looked for a reported ‘ghost’ that a lot of people had seen, but of course, didn’t find one.

Danny’s spirit meekly got back in Sam’s purse. He was quiet for the rest of the trip, zipped up tight in there. I was pretty sure he’d come a bit unglued with the knowledge of what Sam and I had been doing in the vestibule. It was actually an item to cross off my bucket list. I was absolutely delighted.

Sam softly slugged me in the shoulder. “One-track mind?”

“I’m a hound dog like that,” I admitted.

She gave her squirming purse a pat.

“Got a Yorkie in there?” I teased.

“Oh, please, you know I prefer big dogs to little dogs.” A smile spread across her face as she laid that double entendre on me as her purse wiggled.

“Sam,” I said, “the thing about Danny is, when I was going to go get Danny’s spirit, I was going to ask him to read the contract and tell me the loopholes that he saw, in case I missed something. You probably don’t know it, but among the ambulance-chaser lawyer set, he used to be nicknamed Loophole Danny.”

“In front of him or behind his back?”

“The latter,” I admitted.

“You should know that spirits have a hard time reading, if at all,” she said. “They don’t see as much with their eyes as they do with their emotions.”

“I didn’t know that.”

She rolled her eyes, as if I should have known.

I huffed and puffed, but Sam wouldn’t tell me anything about Danny’s true purpose with us, since he was not going to act as Loophole Danny.

She kissed me on the cheek. “You’ll know it when you see it. Trust me.”

I thought about what Ishmael had told me about the contract. “I do trust you. Do you trust me?”

“Now, I do,” she said with a satisfied wink.
