Chapter Eight

I’d never seen anything like the studio on the second floor of Channel 666. In my non-magical career as a reporter, I’d spent time on various television sets, but Channel 666’s put them all to shame. I didn’t have a clue where they got the funds to build such a facility, but it was breathtaking.

More cameras than I could count stood on magic-powered swivels, each aimed at the large crescent-shaped desk I recognized from the nightly broadcast of Moon Grove Tonight. I’d watched Beau report from behind that crescent for months, but in person it was far more impressive.

To the left of Beau’s desk, on an adjacent but smaller set, oversized words hanging from behind a desk big enough for one person screamed: “The Jump with Olivia Starr.” Embarrassment struck as I realized I’d never once watched her show.

“No, no! This is all wrong. If you don’t fix this before she gets here, Olivia will throw a fit,” a voice echoed from somewhere backstage. I stood rooted to the spot until Katelyn burst through the door in a stream of long brown hair. She didn’t notice me at first, but when she glanced up and saw me standing there, her face illuminated.

“Deal with this, don’t make me tell you again,” she ordered a staff member, threw her cape-like hair out of her face with one hand, and stomped toward me. “Zoe! What a nice surprise. Please tell me this means Beau is back to normal.”

I opened my mouth to tell her no but never got the chance because Beau trotted out from behind me.

Katelyn groaned. “I guess that’s a no. Do you at least have some idea of what’s going on or how to fix it? I’m going crazy trying to wrangle both these shows. Well, more accurately, Olivia is driving me crazy.”

“I wish, but I don’t. We’ve pulled security footage and we’ve talked to everyone we can think of who might know something, but we’ve come up empty.”

“Well, this can’t go on forever, right? I mean, won’t whatever this is wear off, eventually?”

“I hope so. I didn’t go into this relationship expecting to date a dog. No offense,” I said to Beau, but he seemed to have lost all interest in the conversation. He wandered over to the crescent desk and jumped up into his old chair with a whimper. “I think he misses it as much as we do.”

Katelyn ran a hand through her hair. “This is unbelievable. I mean, you’re the Head Witch. There’s got to be something you and your people can do to fix this, right? Like a spell or potion or something?”

“Trust me, we’re trying. You’ll be one of the first to know when we find out something.”

“You don’t even know what caused it?”

“Not definitively. We just have some hunches.”

Katelyn sighed and squeezed her forehead between her thumb and index finger. “This is so stressful. We were already running on a skeleton crew for this deadline, but now this? It’ll be a miracle if we get through everything at this rate.
