Chapter Eleven

Shay glanced at her watch. “Harper should be here in a few minutes.”

James finished checking the pockets of another gray coat grabbed from the closet. There was plenty of ammo for the .45, along with more than enough Shay treats if he needed them. He didn’t care about bringing anything but a single change of clothes. His plan was to drive straight through and finish the job as fast as possible.

“There’s something I want you to have. Wait here.” Shay disappeared into the bedroom and reappeared with a small clear rock. She held it out in the palm of her hand. “Take this.”

James took the smooth rock and rubbed it between his thumb and forefinger. “What is it?”

“Single-use portal artifact. Swallow it, then focus on where you want to go, and it’ll open the portal. The portal will stay in place for about ten seconds.”

“Why do I need a portal?”

Shay glowered. “Because that woman, besides being annoying as fuck, is trouble. The minute you’ve cleaned up her mess for her, I wouldn’t be surprised if she tries to steal everything but your belt buckle and leave you for dead.”

“I can handle trouble.” James grunted. “And if she thinks she can win against me because of a few magical dampening artifacts, she can have a discussion in Hell with Jonathan about how that shit doesn’t work on me.”

Shay folded her arms and gave him a stern look. “I’m your very pregnant wife, and I demand that you take the damned portal stone. If this somehow goes badly, I don’t want to have to go on a bloody vengeance spree right after giving birth. I haven’t tried it before, but I can only imagine it’s hard to shoot at people when you’re breastfeeding.”

“You could have Maria watch the kid while you get your revenge,” James suggested. He lifted his hands at Shay’s angry glare. “It’s fine. I’ve got it. I’ll use it if I need it.” He tucked the artifact into a pocket.

A boring gray Toyota sedan pulled into the driveway. The tinted windows denied a look at Harper at the wheel. She honked twice.

Shay leaned in to give James a soft kiss. “Save the world. At least save Texas.”

“I’ve got to save Texas. It’d hurt the barbeque world too much to lose them.”
