Chapter Twenty-Five

Reg was glad to be home. She couldn’t wait to be in her own space again and away from the cops and even Jessup’s probing questions. She needed to figure out what was going on. Or she needed to get to bed. Something. As long as it was in her own cottage and she didn’t have to worry about anyone looking over her shoulder.

Except there was still Etienne. Reg didn’t really think about him until Jessup was a block away from the house and asked, “Who is your house guest?”

“Oh.” Reg’s face warmed as she remembered who was waiting for her. She wasn’t even sure what she had told Etienne before she left. He would certainly be thinking that her behavior was strange. But then, he was used to Homo sapiens acting impulsively rather than sitting and thinking things over for a few weeks or months before deciding. Or years. Maybe it wouldn’t seem any stranger to him than the typical Homo sapiens behavior. “Right. I forgot about him.”

“Him?”

“Yeah.”

“And it isn’t Hunter.”

“No, it isn’t Corvin. I already said that.”

“But I still don’t know if you’re telling me the truth.”

“Then why ask again?”

“I guess I shouldn’t expect to get a different answer. So who is it? I thought you and Damon were sort of on the outs.”

“Why would Damon be staying at my house? He has his own place. I’m not inviting anyone over romantically. That’s not what this is. A friend of mine who isn’t from here is… may be getting married. I’m just putting him up and helping him for a few days.”

Though she still didn’t know where she was going to put him. It would be better if Etienne found a hotel, since Reg didn’t even have a pull-out bed for him to use.

“And what did he have to do with this business at the cemetery?”

“Nothing.”

“A mysterious out-of-town visitor and it’s just coincidence that you stumbled over a body? I don’t believe that.”

“Believe what you like. Et—he doesn’t have anything to do with a mysterious body showing up in the cemetery.”

“What are we going to find out about his cause of death?”

“I don’t know.”

“Maybe you could use some of your psychic ability to find out.”

“Why should I? Leave it to your medical examiner.”

“Did you see his ghost?”

“No.”

“Hear it?”

“No. I didn’t communicate with him in any way. I keep telling you, there wasn’t time for anything. You just showed up when I came across him. Like you were waiting to ambush me.”

“Nobody ambushed you.”

Reg looked at her, eyebrow raised.

“We saw your car parked at the gates where it didn’t belong and stopped to see what was going on. We could see that you had climbed the fence and followed you in. That’s all. It was just a simple trespass investigation.”

“Seems a bit convenient.”

“Well, unless you told someone else you were going to be there, I don’t know how we would have found out to plan anything ahead of time. Did you tell people that’s where you were going?”

“No.”

“Then we couldn’t exactly have ambushed you.
