Chapter Nine—Sierra

“Let’s all go,” I suggested after seeing Macie’s confusion. Yeah, confused. That’s how she looked, confused and afraid, and I should have never brought her in on this. What was I thinking? She wasn’t over Jocelyn’s death…none of us were. Carmen did not hide his disbelief. What did he expect? Wow, Josh had only been gone for a half hour at this point, and things felt like they were falling apart.

We walked out to the van; the house loomed in the background. Good thing the neighbors couldn’t see us. We didn’t need that kind of publicity. “Clearly, we are needed here. Amanda did right by calling us. Macie, how are your emotions? I understand how that feels. I have experienced it before. It’s like suddenly you aren’t in control of your own heart. If you need to skip tonight, we all get it.”

The dark-haired psychic closed her eyes, and her curled dark lashes accentuated her pale skin. She opened them quickly and surveyed me with new strength and calm. I was glad to see her confidence return.

“No, thank you. All I needed was a minute out of that house. The power in there—it sneaks up on you. Whatever resides at Wayland Manor has a great deal of power and knows how to manipulate a person emotionally.”

Carmen shook his head. “That kind of thing only happens if you are already compromised. Listen, I am no idiot, nor am I a rookie. Let’s put all our cards on the table. Macie, I know who you are, and I know about your sister. Do you really think you should be here?”

Wow! Carmen rang that bell. What was he thinking? How were his words helpful at all?

I put my hands on my hips like I was ready to go to work. “Let’s get one thing straight right now—I am the boss. I want her here. If you got a problem with that, Carmen, you can leave. We’ll do just fine with three investigators rather than four. You’ve been snipping at me all night, and I don’t appreciate it. This is how things work. This is my work, my team. Midas entrusted Gulf Coast Paranormal to me. I take my job very seriously. So back off!”

“Hey!” Jericho shouted as he shook his head and put his hands up as if to ask for a timeout. “Let’s all stop talking before we say something we regret. If we haven’t already. Clearly, whatever is in that house can affect us emotionally—whether we want to admit it or not. I suggest this: Let’s steer clear of the closet area.”

“Yeah, you’re right,” I quickly agreed as hot, angry blood surged through my body. “We will need to do some prep work before we tackle that area again. Let’s move on to the other hot spots tonight. It wouldn’t pay for us to go in there half-cocked without a plan.”

Macie agreed, and to his credit, Carmen was the first to apologize. “Sorry about how I behaved. I don’t know what came over me.
