The owner of the Emporium did not look happy to see us. In fact, she looked downright pissed off, and as I glanced about the shop floor, I could see why.

Luther had commandeered the sales counter for study, piled it with books, and shoved stools up against it. Several cushy sofas had been dragged to the front of the store too. Gargoyles were everywhere, and most of the stock had been moved to the back of the store.

Luther had well and truly taken over.

As the others piled in behind me, bringing more books and supplies with them, I approached the owner with a tentative smile. Was I giving off I-come-in-peace vibes? I hoped so.

“Hi, I’m Kat.”

She crossed her arms under her breasts. “Petunia.”

“Thank you for accommodating us.”

“Happy to help.” Although she sounded like she regretted it.

Something somewhere in the shop smashed. She winced and grit her teeth.

“I’m so sorry. This is your space, your store. I’ll ask everyone to be mindful of that.”

The tightness around her eyes melted a little. “I’d appreciate that. Luther explained what’s happening out there. I’ve had no customers for days, which makes sense now. If this place can be a haven to help you stop this entity, then I’m all for it, and—”

Another crash.

Petunia flinched.

Oh, bloody hell. “Everyone, stop!”

The babble died down, and all eyes were on me. “If you break it, you pay for it. And from now on, we confine ourselves to the front of the store. This area.” I waved my hand in the general vicinity I was referring to. “No one traipses about without Petunia’s permission. We have blankets and sleeping bags, so we can camp here.”

Petunia’s shoulders relaxed. “I have plenty of food. I’m happy to share.”

“Thank you, that’s very kind. We brought some food with us too. Could we use your kitchen?”

She nodded enthusiastically. “Of course, whatever you need. In fact, I’d like to help with your research, if possible.”

“That would be great.”

And just like that, Petunia was on our team.
