First things first, I let my fingers do some walking.

Spells, enchantments, and scrying were all very well, but sometimes you had to knuckle down and do some good old-fashioned research.

I got on my phone and did a Google search on the ‘Medford Craft Guild and Ladies Society’. Although the title sounded like a bunch of old biddies obsessed with knitting, it was actually the cover name of the Medford Coven. Every coven used a cover organization in order to make it look legitimate and to keep nosy people from investigating.

The reason I was looking into the Medford Coven was owing to the fact that I wasn’t sure if maybe Ronda’s mother was a hybrid witch—as in, she could have been part shapeshifter, part witch. It wasn’t unheard of. Poppy had told me about a witch she’d met in sasquatch territory that was half sasquatch, half witch. And if Ronda’s mother was a hybrid, that could have explained why I didn’t get a witchy sort of feel from her—the lack of witchiness could have simply been owing to the fact that she had more shapeshifter than witch in her genes.

Also, there had been that little tidbit Hellcat had mentioned about the Medford coven looking into my store and me. Maybe it had been Ronda’s mother who had been doing the looking.

I checked the website and found a list of members and didn’t recognize any of them as Ronda’s mother. Then I scanned the names, but none of them rang a bell. Of course, I didn’t even know Ronda’s last name. Furthermore, her mother might have a completely different last name. Ergh…

One attempt down and…

Receiving a rare moment of ingenuity, I decided to do a search for Gemma and Winston’s wedding and arrived at their wedding website. Luckily, Gemma hadn’t taken it down yet. Sure enough, Ronda’s name was listed near the top of the page under ‘Maid of Honor’. The website listed her last name as ‘Montgomery’. I then clicked through the website until I found a guest list, and scrolled down the page until I reached an entry for ‘Gail Montgomery’.

“Got you, you devious, plotting woman,” I said with a smile.

I cross-referenced the name back to the Medford Craft Guild and Ladies Society website. And that was where my trail went cold. There was no Gail Montgomery. No Gail anyone. And that meant Gail wasn’t a witch, hybrid or otherwise, just like I’d assumed. Hmm, what to do next? Shapeshifters were solitary creatures that didn’t assemble in covens or exist in packs so it would be fairly impossible to find out anything about Gail’s true identity on the web.

With no more leads, I had no choice but to give up for now. Feeling frustrated over the whole topic, I decided to stick to my original plan which was to find Poppy in order to do the reverse tracking spell on Gemma’s dress. But, first, I was going to pay a visit to my store, just to make sure no one had broken in while I was at the wedding.
