Chapter ten
“What are you saying, Ryder?” Mender asked, the phone distorting her voice, but I was pretty sure she was practically bursting with excitement.
I grinned, glancing down the hall at the lab where I’d left the guys to talk more particulars with AB.
In our job, we never had the chance to actually fix what went wrong, only catch and punish the ones who did it.
The chance to fix something like this? To bring these men back from the dead?
It was more than a miracle.
It was a chance at redemption.
For them and for the woman who unleashed all this in the first place.
It was hope.
And we almost never got that in our line of work.
“According to this woman, Dr. Williamson,” I said, “it is doable. Ma’am, it won’t be easy.
“We’ll have to break whatever spell is holding them in limbo, probably at the exact same time we put them back, so their spirits don’t have the chance to move on, and we’ll have to have enough medical stuff, AB could probably explain, to fix their bodies, and enough magic to stuff them back into their bodies, and we’ll have to do it before sunrise.”
“That’s a lot of have tos, Ryder,” Mender said. “But, my God, we could bring nearly twenty men back to life?”
“Or more since I’m guessin’ the ghost isn’t done,” I said. “But…”
“But we have to find out who did this first, stop them to break the spell, right?” she said.
“Yep. Basic rules of magic. Can’t undo it without the help of the person who did it in the first place,” I said. “Maybe we don’t really need her help, but we do have to know who it was, and what she did, to be able to break it.”
“And you’re sure it wasn’t Dr. Williamson?” she asked.
“The guys are, but I still need to get some visions off her to make sure there’s nothin’ hiding in there,” I said.
“Do it. Text me okay if there’s nothing new, call if there is. I’m putting together a team to get the bodies to her lab. Who do we have to run it past?”
“Ummmmm.”
Normally Grant or one of the guys dealt with logistics like that.
“Find out,” Mender said. “Call them, get their consent. We’re sending those bodies there as fast as we can.”
“Oooookay,” I said.
“What about the energy we’ll need?” she asked.
“I actually had an idea on that. I, um…”
I cleared my throat.
FBI Special Agents didn’t say um.
“It’s Halloween,” I said. “There are parties everywhere throughout town. Lots of drinking and lots of dancing, not to mention other activities. I think, based on how Carvi rebuilt his body in July, that if we can figure out how to capture and channel energy, then we could go to these different bars and parties, set up to capture that energy, and draw a little bit from everywhere, and then bring it back to the bodies to put into them.”
“How do we go about doing that?”
I took a breath. “Carvi has been able to do it for himself, and there are spells to do it.
