Chapter Fifteen
I opened the door for Spud and the dragon pig. âYou can come on out. Sheâs gone.â
My phone buzzed and I was not surprised to see Myraâs number.
âHey,â I said.
âSo whatâs going on?â she asked distractedly. I heard a low voice in the background, and then something that sounded an awful lot like a kiss. At least my sister got to spend her evening with the man of her dreams.
âThereâs a monster hunter in town.â
âWhat?â A shuffle of sounds came through the phone, then a soft whump of a pillow, and a deep chuckle. âOkay, you have my attention. Where are you? Are you okay?â
âIâm at home. Iâm fine. Ryderâs taking her out to dinner, then getting her settled in the Sand Garden for the night.â
âHer? So our monster hunter is a woman? Is she a paranormal investigator? Ghost hunter?â
âShe works for DoPP.â
âWell, shit.â
âYeah.â
âWhy is she here now?â
âShe used to work with Ryder. I came home, and she was out on the deck giggling and flirting with him.â
âThat bitch.â
Gotta love sister loyalty.
âSheâs a piece of work. I wouldnât trust her near my silver.â
âWhat does Ryder think is going on?â
âWe didnât have much time to talk and didnât want to let her out in the town on her own. Since she,â I pitched my voice into babytalk, âjust wants to catch up with my RyRy.â
âGag.â
âHe took her to have dinner. Iâm guessing the Blue Owl, but he didnât say.â
âOkay, so which part of town do you want me to cover?â
âIâll call Bertie, and that should take care of half the town right there. But weâll need to make sure the gods, and all the anti-socials know to keep a low profile.â
âIâll take south, put Jean on door-to-door east. Where do you want Hatter and Shoe?â
âGive them north. Kelby can door-to-door west. And Iâll talk to Than. See if he wants to pitch in or lay low.â
âWant my vote?â she asked.
âLay low?â
âSubterranean.â
âIâll see if I can convince him.â
âGood. Okay, call if you need anything.â
âWill do.â
I needed to call Bertie and have her tap into her massive list of the supernaturals in town who she conscripted for community events. She kept email lists, social media profiles, and good old-fashioned phone trees memorized. Telling Bertie to find people was like asking a fish if it would enjoy a dip in the water.
So I cut a hunk of pie, then dialed our local Valkyrie.
