Chapter 10

Migs

I had to bite my tongue, which was incredibly hard for me. But one doesn’t make fun of an angel. Mi abuela would come back and haunt me if she knew I had done that. And now that I knew ghosts were real, and that was actually a possibility … I bit down on my lower lip, determined to keep quiet.

But John looked ridiculous. Completely fucking ridiculous.

Bar’s normal pants hadn’t fit John. But thoughtful demon that he was, Parker had apparently put Bar’s cosplay outfits in the trash bag too. So, John was wearing some bright blue Mario Brothers overalls from an outfit Bar had made a few years back. But he wore the overalls with an ugly Christmas sweater Bar had that happened to have Thor’s hammer on the front. Then, he paired the outfit with some men’s shoes from the backroom of Ruby’s store. We’d tried to get him to wear tennis shoes, but he’d insisted on slippers because they were so much softer.

“Those won’t really work in a graveyard—” I’d said.

“Those are gonna get torn up,” Bar had stated.

“All those other contraptions are awful on the feet. Even worse than I remember,” John had argued as he’d pulled on eggplant-purple fuzzy slippers.

He was intending to lead us to the high school. I couldn’t let that happen. No way a teenage girl was gonna listen to us if clown-man here tried to talk. Holly would run the other direction. And that wouldn’t help Ruby one bit.

Bar kept trying to engage John in regular conversation, but John was being a little CIA about it all.

“My last assignment was confidential. I can’t discuss it with mortals.”

Ruby and Parker got back with coffee as John said that. And my chest purred like a contented cat, seeing her again.

Of course, she just looked quizzically at John and asked, “Weren’t you sent out on that tentacle clean up committee?”

John sputtered, his face going red.

“Tentacles?” Bar asked.

Ruby giggled as she passed around our coffees. The sound was as invigorating as coffee itself—warm and energizing. “Yes. Some bright mind had the idea to give an alien species of women tentacles. Well, I’ll give you one guess what they did with them. Procreation nearly halted on the planet.”

The guys and I all stopped. Bar looked kind of turned on by the thought. I would have to see pictures of the alien species before I got the same idea. If aliens actually looked like the movie Alien, or E.T. or Men In Black—basically, if aliens looked anything like they did in movies—I didn’t give a damn what those females did with their tentacles. More power to them.

Parker’s hand brushed Ruby’s back as he passed her, and she gave him one of those shy, sweet glances that new couples often give. I saw Bar tense up next to me, so I walked over to him. I leaned in. “Hey, dude.”

Bar looked over at me and gave me a look. I could tell just by the expression on his face that he was jealous and annoyed and trying to hide it.
