Skeebs

The present– fifty-nine hours to destination

It’s time to take charge.

Skeebs pulled his hat down over his ears, trying to silence the whispers.

None of them know how bad it can be. The hat did no good. The voice was right by his ear. Closer even. It sounded like Reeves but at the same time it didn’t. It was like Reeves was twisting Skeebs’ own thoughts and throwing them back at him, making new words out of them.

Reeves is only just getting started. You know it can be so much worse than this. Look, she’s doing it again.

Amanda had crossed the room, a bottle of water and a bandage in her hands. Skeebs watched, they all did, as Amanda wet the rag, crouched in front of Reeves and brought the dripping gauze to the prisoner’s mouth.

She’d done this often – checking on the prisoner, feeding him water, touching him. Skeebs could swear he’d heard Amanda whispering a couple of times.

Knowing about the whole possession thing helped it make sense. Keep it alive so it doesn’t up and die on you. But he didn’t know, there was just something off about the way she was acting.

You think you’re the only one Reeves is talking to? Maybe he’s still got his hooks in her.

Why you talking to her?

Why do you think?

Skeebs could feel the demon’s grin by his ear.

Do you think you’re the only one thinking there might be a better way out of here than cleaning up after the boss?

What if she strikes a deal with Reeves? His freedom for her daughter’s? You really think she’s going to put you before her own flesh and blood?

No. Skeebs stuck his fingers in his ears. No, no, no.

But what if you got there first? The things Reeves could do. Tamper Danny’s jury. Reeves could have them all shouting ‘not guilty’ with a snap of his fingers. Danny would walk out nice and legal. Your brother’s getting his ass beat in there. If you only had the strength to say ‘yes’. If you only started to listen.
