Chapter 17

I couldn’t feel the sun when my phone, screeching in the dark, woke me. For the briefest moment, I thought it was going to be the funeral home calling to let me know that everyone had been wrong, Valerie was okay. But that had been my dream. Reality hit me hard and fast when I saw it was Remiel calling. I answered, the sleep gone from me.

“There’s been another attack,” Remiel said as I answered. “Two dead; two in critical condition.”

“Holy fuck,” I whispered. “Isn’t it Tuesday?”

“No, it’s Wednesday, but this means the pattern’s been broken.”

“It isn’t Bill and Camilla, is it?” I asked, already putting on pants.

“No, it was Martha and her family,” Remiel said.

“Your receptionist?” I asked, pulling on my socks.

“Yes,” he sighed.

“I didn’t realize she was a supernatural,” I said. “I’m sorry, Remiel.”

“She isn’t, but her husband is, as are her kids.”

“It’s the first crossover,” I said.

“He’s devolving,” Remiel said. “Which just means he’s losing control.”

“He knows you’re involved,” I offered.

“Yes,” Remiel answered. I hung up, finished dressing, and went to Jerome’s room. I knocked softly. He sleepily blinked at me, already sitting up in bed.

“I heard your phone ring,” he said. “I heard you ask, ‘Your receptionist, but Martha was human,’ so I don’t know who called for sure. I couldn’t hear his part of the conversation.”

“We have to wake Duke up. I’m going to have him come sleep here. I have to go, but I’ll be back as soon as I can,” I told him, walking over and giving him a hug. Eventually, I knew he’d begin to protest the hugs, but for now, he was still happy to get them, and I was happy to give them.

Jerome came with me to wake Duke up. The kid was in his pajamas. Shorts, a t-shirt, and socks, because Jerome often slept in his socks. He put on sandals with his socks to walk to Duke’s room just down from ours. I didn’t know why he thought he had to come, but he wanted to, and I let him.

“It’s 3:12 in the morning,” Duke said as he groggily opened the door, blinking at the brightly lit hallway.

“I know, they just found another family. I’m meeting Remiel there, and I need you to stay with Jerome.” Duke was instantly awake. His eyes opened completely, he stopped blinking, and he moved out of the doorway. We followed him in.

“Let me get dressed in something more than this, and I’ll take him back to your room,” Duke said.

“Great, I’m going to try flying to the address Remiel gave me. I’ll call you later and let you know what we find out.”

“It’s Remiel’s secretary, Martha,” Jerome said.

“I thought she was human; she didn’t have double or triple irises,” Duke said, pulling on a bath robe.

“She is human, but she’s married to a supernatural,” I said. “They have two kids.”

“Oh man,” Duke said, and he sounded genuinely sad for them. Most cops I knew turned their emotions on and off; they had to, or the job drove them crazy.
