{ Chapter Thirteen}

The mysterious man summoning the spirits was none other than Seymour, the janitor that I had seen on the first day on campus. I had all but forgotten about him. And then it hit me. I had spent the last week trying to figure out who Morgan’s father resembled and now here it was, it was Seymour. The two men both had the same dark curly hair and dark eyes. Morgan’s father was quite a bit taller than Seymour, but their faces bore a striking resemblance to each other.

I squeezed Alba’s arm, and then clapped a hand over my mouth, forcing myself to stay silent. I was afraid to talk. Afraid he’d hear us.

Seymour lifted his arms up high above his head and stretched them. He moved his head from side to side as if he were cracking his neck. Finally he leaned over and picked up a shovel and a big tarp that were lying next to his feet and carried them inside the little building he was standing in front of. My eyes grew huge. This man was a wizard of some sort and he had a shovel. Immediately I wondered if that was where he was holding Jax.

“That’s the janitor! We’ve got to get in that building Alba, that could be where Jax is!” I whispered to her when I was sure Seymour was out of earshot in the building.

“You think he’s the kidnapper?”

“He’s obviously some sort of wizard. He’s summoning the spirits. He’s definitely up to something.”

“Yeah, for sure he’s up to something,” Alba agreed.

“Do you think that Morgan’s father and him look alike? Makes me wonder if they are related.”

Alba nodded. “It’s dark, but I can sort of see the resemblance.”

“We’ve got to get into that shed,” I told Alba. “I’m almost positive that Jax is in there.”

She shook her head. “No way. This is as far as we go. We need to report Jax missing and we need to tell Detective Whitman our suspicions about this guy.”

“Yeah, we need to get out of here before he comes back,” I said.

“Come on,” she whispered, leading me back into the darkness.

The race back to Winston Hall was a blur. Once we passed through the cemetery gate, we took off like shots in the night, firing through the pitch black sky back to the safety of our dormitory. Sweets and Holly were waiting for us in the lobby. Holly was nervously chewing on her finger nails and Sweets was devouring another sugary snack from the vending machine.

“Did you see anything?” Holly asked the minute we entered the building.

Alba and I bent over, gasping for breath. The intense sprint had kicked my butt and I was suddenly wishing I’d brought my inhaler with me to college as my mom had reminded me. Gosh I hated it when she was right.

Alba sucked in a deep breath and then looked at Sweets, who was still dressed in her robe and house slippers. “Sweets, we are going to need you to drive us to the police station.
