AFTER finding the Dragon’s Blood and a few other things in the botanica, Rhonda made up a poultice thing and had Dags press it against his shoulder. Joe finished up the tea as Dags and I curled up on the couch. We’d both changed into more comfortable clothes—me in my blue plaid loungers and long-sleeved gray thermal top and Dags in his . . . wow . . . blue plaid loungers and a thermal tee shirt. What . . . he buys at the same Kohl’s I do?

After bringing us tea—man I like chai—Joe sat on the floor on the other side of the coffee table, talking on his phone, and Rhonda joined us in the papasan, with my laptop in tow. Hrm. I couldn’t remember the last time I’d checked my e-mail.

Joe ended the conversation. “Well, Detective Frasier—after his oddly heroic move at the Center for Puppetry Arts—has once again disappeared. And so has Cooper. I hope they’re having fun together.”

My heart fluttered. Cooper not answering. I reeeeally hoped that bastard kept a good eye on that body. If not, I swore that when I went Wraith again, I’d kick his ass.

“I guess Daniel’s behavior is really bad?” Dags asked. “I mean, this isn’t like him, is it? He’s always been a good cop?”

“Well, yes and no,” Joe said. “I’ve known Frasier awhile. And he definitely has a dark side. We all do, Dags.”

“Yeah . . .” Dags said softly. “It’s that dark side that’s starting to worry me.”

“Daniel’s had a pretty rough time lately. I mean, realizing you were married to a real bitch. And then finding someone like Zoë, and getting the shit beat out of you on top of a building and enduring a coma for a couple of weeks. Then having your ex-wife murdered in your house. Having to go through the trauma of being a suspect and finally when you think it’s all good—you can hear your girlfriend that said she couldn’t speak in your head—but you don’t know it’s your head and you think it’s your ears and then you see—”

I closed my eyes and remembered the argument. That night—in the botanica. Jemmy had left and it was just us.

“But I heard you!” he’d shouted at me.

I’d shaken my head and tried to make him hear my thoughts—because that’s what he had to have heard, right? Me talking to Charlie, Lt. Charlie Holmes, Daniel’s deceased mentor.

And when I’d thought about it—the situation made sense. We’d discovered that only a near-death or actual-death experience and a possession by me would allow someone to hear me in their minds.

And since he’d met with that near death by TC’s hand—when I’d placed myself inside of him after my own body had been taken—didn’t that qualify him?

But then—why hadn’t he heard me more than that once?

But I’d known there was something else that night—I’d seen it in his eyes. He wasn’t the same man that night as he’d been earlier in the afternoon when he’d put roses on the back porch and insisted he should come with me to the warehouse.
