“NO WAY!”

I should’ve known Aisling really wanted me to be the one to join her in the bathroom because she was desperate to get me away from Dad and Griffin. Simply put, she knew it would be easier to bring me to her way of thinking without them nattering in my ear.

“You have to.” Aisling was serious – and apparently mostly sober – as she tapped her foot on the cement floor. “He says he won’t go until he knows who killed him.”

Tim Graham was a sniveling mess as he cowered in the corner of the women’s bathroom. Once he realized I could see him – just like Aisling – he turned demanding. Then he claimed he wasn’t a pervert. When that didn’t work, he started whining and crying. I would’ve ignored it, but Aisling was a soft touch when it came to the souls. That was the only time she seemed to embrace her female hormones, which was an annoying turn of events.

“It’s not going to happen, Ais.” I was adamant as I crossed my arms over my chest. “We’re not going on a mission to solve his murder. We don’t even care that he died.”

“I care.” Aisling was plaintive. “He died right in front of us. Can you honestly say you don’t want answers?”

“I find it distressing that he died in front of us, but mostly because Maya wanted a quiet night out,” I replied. “As for why he died, we know why. The dude is a pervert.”

“I am not a pervert.” Tim straightened his shoulders. “I’m misunderstood.”

“Yeah, you might want to dial back that response,” Aisling said dryly. “I believe that’s the refrain of rapists the world over.”

Tim was scandalized. “I am certainly not a rapist!”

“That’s good for you, because if you were we would have no choice but to suck and run,” Aisling said.

“That’s what we’re going to do regardless, Ais.” I adopted my best “I’m your big brother and you have to do what I say” voice. I wanted her to know I meant business. “We cannot waste time trying to help this guy. That’s not part of our job description.”

“Please?”

“No.”

“Pretty please with sugar on top?”

“No.”

“Puh-leez!” Aisling adopted an over-the-top tone that always wore me down. “You’ll be my favorite brother forever if you do this.”

I heaved out a sigh. She’d already won and we both knew it. “That’s not true. Aidan is your favorite brother. It has to do with that twin thing.”

“Aidan is only my favorite fifty percent of the time. You can be my favorite the other fifty percent of the time.”

“And why would I want that?”

“It comes with perks.”

“Like?”

“Like I’ll irritate only Redmond and Braden for the next six weeks,” Aisling offered. “You can treat it like a vacation.”

That didn’t sound ungodly bad. “Fine.” I pinched the bridge of my nose. “Dad won’t like this, though. In fact, he’ll pitch a fit.”

“Well, Dad will just have to deal with it because we both know he won’t enter a public bathroom.” Aisling was haughty.
