“I’ve been thinking the same thing,” I said. “And Frankenstein was the doctor, not the monster. Get it straight.”

Allison ran her fingers through her hair, then grabbed a thick handful of it and pulled. “What have our lives come to, Sam?”

“To the place where butlers are Frankenstein monsters, defense attorneys are werewolves, psychic phone operators are witches, and private eyes are sexy vampires.”

“You did not just say that.”

“I did. And I meant most of it.”

Allison finally giggled. “But Franklin... he seemed so well-spoken.”

We had refilled our glasses and retired to the east wing. Or, as some people called it, the living room. I nodded, and said, “Better than I. Or me. Whatever.”

“Better than most,” agreed Allison. “But this thing that attacked you the night before last... it could barely speak. And was a veritable roadmap of scars.”

“Evocative,” I said. “Maybe Franklin is similarly road-mapped.”

“You could always check.”

“Strip him with my mind?”

“Well, you can see through things.”

“I don’t really see through things. I see beyond things. There are no barriers.”

“Seems the same to me.”

“Yeah, you’re right. Forget it.” I drummed my pointed nails on the glass, careful not to shatter yet another one. “The thing last night was closer to Frankenstein’s monster than Frankenstein’s butler.”

Allison shrugged. “There’s one person who would know.”

I didn’t have to be a mind reader to know who she was talking about. “Kingsley,” I said.
