Chapter 10

Later that afternoon, after the Blackshore Bay Coroner’s Office removed Jonathan’s body from the Memorial Park, Febe sat in Trey’s cruiser, dazed. He’d given her a bottle of water. Her mouth felt dry and her body was numb with shock. She knew that Jonathan had been murdered, she’d sensed it, but seeing his body was a whole different level of surprise. It really hit her then.

Talk about an unexpected finding. She knew she felt something from the cell phone and knew she should head over to the park, but she had no idea Jonathan’s body would be there.

Still, Febe was glad Jonathan could finally have more closure—until the killer responsible was brought to justice, of course.

“I’m so sorry you had to find him like that. Are you going to be okay?” Detective Trey asked Febe as she hugged the bottle of water to her chest.

“I’ll be fine, really.”

“You sure?”

“Yes.” Her voice was a little quieter than she’d expected. Even though Jonathan had cheated on her, it really sucked to see him crushed like that and well, dead.

“We’re really thankful you were able to help us locate your ex-fiancé’s body. Guess you were able to pick up some vibe from the phone after all. We’ve used psychics before but we’ve never seen anything like this before.”

“Well, as I said to Sergeant Heart, I had no idea his body would be here. I just knew to come here. Your uncle seemed to think I had something to do with his body being here,” she added, “judging by the way he interrogated me.”

“Listen, it’s just formality that he had to question you like that.”

And what a session that had been.

“I totally understand.”

“Looks like a hit and run judging by the bruises on him,” the sergeant said as he walked up to Trey’s open car window. He stood outside the cruiser with a notepad and a muffin.

“That was some home run hit,” Febe said, leaning over from the passenger side. “This is quite a distance from where Jonathan’s cell phone was found. There are no streets around here, sergeant. It’s practically a forest.”

The sergeant replied, “It looks as if he’d been dragged here by wolves.” He took another bite of his muffin.

“Wolves?” Febe said.

“We see all kinds of wildlife around here,” he said between bites. “The province is home to some thousands of grey wolves. Not unusual to find some in the area. You’d be surprised.”

She swallowed hard. “I am.”

Her witch senses were telling her that something happened to Jonathan in Toronto and he was taken here to make it look like a hit and run. She couldn’t prove it, she could only sense it.

When reporters showed up on the scene, Febe asked Trey if she could leave now. The police had already spent an hour questioning her. She’d told them she’d seen her neighbor in the area. They didn’t think too much of it. Most people in the town knew Mr. Dawes as a harmless older man who was more like a neighborhood watchman.
