Chapter Ten

Ghost dragged in a desperate gasp as he just about vaulted up in bed, panting. Only relaxing as he realized he was alive. Sidonie still slept next to him and he ran a hand through his hair, heart racing like he’d run a marathon. Fuck, he’d just died, like ten seconds ago. He touched the place where the bullet had entered his body, remembering the pain. Recalling how he took his last breath. He could honestly say he wasn’t a fan.

Sidonie rolled over and touched his back. “Babe? You okay?”

“Uh, yeah. Bad dream.”

“Come on back to bed. It’s too ear—”

A loud knock sounded on the door. “Rise and shine! I’ve cooked breakfast. Make sure you come on down before it gets cold.”

“Rise and shine,” Sidonie said with a snort. “I’ll rise but I’m not shining. I swear Vivi could turn Satan angelic just by talking his damn ear off.”

It just dawned on him that he was back to square one. Had to get Thorn to get Chase out of town. Had to get Brim to protect Leia. Had to make sure the house didn’t burn to the ground. Any more days and he was going to need to make a list of shit he had to do.

Except this time, he now had a face to work with.

“Sid, I’ve got to get to my old precinct,” he said, turning to her. “I want you with me all day today.”

“I’ve got work.”

“It’s imperative you stay with me.”

As if sensing his agitation, she searched his face. “What’s wrong?”

“A lot,” he replied. “Please, Sid. I’ll go with you to the bar, but right now you need to stay with me.”

“Why?”

“Can you just take my word for it?”

“Something’s wrong, isn’t it?” she asked.

He nodded. “Come on. We have to get ready to face this fucking day.”

He flipped the covers back and grabbed a pair of jeans from the floor. “You use this bathroom and I’ll head to the community one.”

“Jeff,” Sidonie said, halting him. “I’m not stupid. Or intimidated. I can handle whatever is going on.”

He ran a hand through his hair. “What would you say if I told you I’m experiencing a closed time-like curve?”

She blinked. “Um. What?”

“I’ve already had this discussion with you,” he said, sighing. “Why did you fail mathematical physics in college?”

“How did you know I failed?”

“Because you told me.”

Her brows pulled together. “The professor wanted me to sleep with him for a passing grade. My answer was to punch him in the face and break his nose. He pressed charges and because it was his word against mine, and the fact he was a professor, I was arrested, fined, and kicked out of college.”

“What a dick. Want me to fuck him up?”

She smiled. “Maybe. Let’s talk about it later, after you tell me what the hell is going on.”

“You told me about CTCs.”

“As in a hypothetical time loop?”

“Nothing hypothetical about it. This is my fifth time of the same day.”

“Oh. Wow. I … I think I need to pee.” She rose from the bed and made a beeline for the bathroom.
