Chapter Ten

The Emerald Triangle

“Oh my, God,” Nina murmured, covering her nose and yanking the knife out of Earl’s crumbly back. “This can’t be happening. Not in real life!”

“I knew it!” Deputy Andrews paced the diner, swinging the Uzi from Earl to Helen. “I knew something was going on around this Godforsaken place! This much bad luck is no coincidence.”

“You don’t know the half of it.” Taylor pulled a box of bullets from his parka hanging by the front doors. “But don’t let it cloud your thoughts. If you want to survive, you have to stay focused. They’re not done with us yet. Remain calm and control your breathing.”

“Can we get some towels over here?” DeSean yelled, kneeling next to his injured brother. “He’s bleeding out!”

“Shit!” BJ bent over in the chair and squeezed his eyes shut against a bolt of pain. “It burns, man!”

“Stay here!” Nina told Johnny, rushing behind the counter.

Huck turned to the glass doors where the ghostly footprints were filling in with snow, like whoever – or whatever – had been standing there was now gone. His eyes snapped to the sheriff and thinned. “Why did my shots barely put a dent in him?”

Taylor held up a chrome bullet. “Silver,” he replied, jamming it into the chamber.

“Oh shit!” Andrews stopped pacing, jaw dangling in the air. “Where’d you get those? I looked all over online for them.”

“I make them myself.” He slipped another bullet in, avoiding their eyes. “Dip them in holy water and have them blessed by a priest.”

“A priest?” Flames flickered against the shock welling in DeSean’s glassy eyes. Snow melted on his beard and dripped to the floor with his brother’s blood. “W-Why you makin silver bullets, Bob?”

“What’s gonna to happen to me?” BJ asked through his teeth. “Am I gonna turn into one of them?”

Nina rushed out from behind the counter with some clean towels, a pitcher of water, and a worried look distorting her pretty face.

“I’ll explain everything later.” Snapping the chamber shut with the flick of a wrist, Taylor holstered the gun and went to the frosted front doors. “Right now, we’ve got bigger problems to worry about,” he said, slipping the box of ammo into his slacks and staring out into the night. “This isn’t over yet.” He turned his back to the glass and searched their frightened faces. “Deputy, grab that fire extinguisher against the wall and put out the fire.”

In a blur, DeSean rushed across the room and slammed Taylor up against a door, rattling a nearby picture of Bud holding up a northern pike. “Why didn’t you shoot that bitch before she bit into my brother? You held your shot!”

“The same reason you didn’t! Their true form turns you to stone. You saw it! You felt it!”

DeSean’s chest heaved. His lips moved but nothing coming out. “I want to know what we’re up against,” he panted, smoke seeping out between his teeth. “And I mean the trufe this time, Bob.”

Pursing his lips, Taylor threw him into a nearby table and chairs.
