Chapter Ten

Earhart

Why did I feel like a cheating husband? She had given us the coffee—a brew I would be terrified to drink for fear of poison or a spell that would shrivel my balls to the size of dried peas—and sailed past as if I meant nothing whatsoever to her. And now, for no reason that made sense, I was chasing her, demanding to ride down with her and my “client,” who was still in the apartment, putting her dress back on. I should wait for her, let Safire go on her own, but something in me wouldn’t allow it. Demanded we stop her from going.

That something was a giant white polar bear who had been doing his best to get free and bat Beverly Bunny off the balcony with a clawed paw. He’d been beyond disgusted by her touch, grossed out in a way he’d never exhibited while we worked our way through dozens of females of all kinds in our tenure in the sulphur depths.

He’d actually been very quiet that whole time. And it had to have been miserable for the poor guy. I just hadn’t recognized it then.

I would have gladly left the rabbit behind if it wouldn’t have been a surefire way to get fired. As it was, who knew how many people saw what had happened on the balcony? The building across the street stood mute, but its tenants, had they been near their windows, would have had a bird’s eye view of me and a woman in her underwear grappling in the throes of what could have been anything from sex to anger to even attempted rape. Or murder.

We should do that. Let’s tear her up.

Oops, the bear was into the idea. No, we can’t do that. We’d be fired. Also I wasn’t into murder, but the bear and I had different opinions on what constituted murder.

Anyway, I would not make a bad situation worse by leaving her in the building unattended. Or letting Safire leave on her own. We were all going to have to make the trip together.

The elevator doors slid open just before I got there, and I slid straight inside, the slick soles of my brand new dress shoes finding no traction on the marble section of floor or the only slightly less slippery flooring of the car itself.

Two of my brain cells made a note to point out the safety concerns to Tarana or Giff.

The others got together to hit the door open button before I ended up in there alone. “Going down?” My voice sounded so calm, I was just the teensiest bit proud, but her glare ignited a burn in my torso. Hopefully only emotional because anyone who could fly like that was capable of almost anything. I had the impression she didn’t have much magic yet. That seemed to have changed.

I’d spent a fair amount of time with witches—not in Hell, since most of them didn’t believe in it anyway and therefore didn’t go there, but the local coven back home in Alaska.
