Chapter Seven

Marty turned to face his fellow ghost-hunters. “Come on, RJ. You and Henner can ride with me.”

“Shouldn’t RJ stay at the house?” I asked immediately, really not wanting to involve him in this whole expedition. “I mean… in case you guys get a… a ghost hunting job?”

RJ shook his head. “I’d rather go with you guys and find out what the heck is going on with this cat of Wanda’s. Besides, I doubt anyone will call this late.”

Marty looked at me and shrugged as I shrugged right back at him.

The next thing I knew, the three guys pushed onto the porch and Marty shut the front door behind him—just like that. They headed for Marty’s car—which was a long, black funeral hearse from the 1970s.

Marty walked to the rear of the hearse and opening the wide back door, revealed a glossy black coffin. The coffin belonged to Lorcan, who hired Marty to drive him around during the day while he slept. Lorcan was paranoid that someone might try to kill him while he was lost to the land of Nod. Why he had such paranoias, I wasn’t sure and hadn’t bothered to ask. It was just one of those things that characterized the strangest vampire I’d ever heard of—never mind the fact that Lorcan was also a dentist.

“I’m sure Lorcan won’t mind if we go for a night drive,” Marty said.

“He won’t mind because he isn’t in there,” Bailey told him. “He’s…”

My phone quacked again.

“He’s behind Wanda’s shop now,” Lorcan announced as soon as I put him on speaker. “My goodness, he is making a ruckus! At this rate, he’ll wake the whole town.”

“Is he slowing down at all?” I asked.

“Hard to say,” Lorcan answered. “It does seem like there are longer pauses between his disappearing and reappearing. Perhaps that counts as slowing down?”

Henner pricked up his ears. “That’s a good sign.”

“A good sign?” I repeated, shaking my head as I looked at him for an explanation. “Good in what way?”

“It means the anomalies are getting farther apart,” Henner answered with a shrug.

“What does that mean?” Bailey demanded.

Henner looked at her. “Whatever is causing the space-time streams to overlap is wearing out because the two streams are spreading away from each other. And those particular anomalies will eventually fade.”

“That’s what I’m afraid of!” I cried.

“What?” Marty asked.

“That the spell could wear off and Hellcat could get trapped in another dimension… or time stream… or whatever Henner called it.”

Henner frowned and rubbed his chin. “You’re right, Poppy. I didn’t think of that. Finding out where the next anomaly will take place won’t help us stop the poor creature from ending up in one stream or another.”

“Can’t we catch him and hold him in this dimension?” I asked.

Henner shrugged. “Perhaps in theory. I suppose we would first have to discover the anomaly so we can figure out what the rules are?”

I swallowed down the urge to scream. We didn’t have time for this! Panic and frustration threatened to unhinge me. After
