"Okay.” Toby understood. He
placed his hand tenderly on my shoulder. “Be careful, Rosy.
Apparently
you're on someone's hit list."
I smiled. “I will.” I squeezed his hand gently for reassurance. Watching Toby and Karl walk down the hallway, I crossed my arms and leaned against the wall. I didn't like the way this investigation was shaping up. Someone was experimenting on Inhumans and then using Brimstone to clear the evidence.
Why were they experimenting on Inhumans in the first place? What was their goal? How was
Lucas Nash involved? And how did the rebellion and Overseer Sumner Chithula spoke of about fit
into the picture?
Too many questions ... But I was going to find out. And I needed help to do it. Pushing away from the wall, I turned and walked briskly away from the autopsy lab. Chapter "I'm going to get annoyed with you really quickly,” Crash warned me as he stepped out of my car. “I was watching my stories and you drag me out to this old house in the middle of bloody nowhere?" Pulling my leather jacket out of the way, I slipped the holster onto the waistband of my jeans and ran my thumb over the cool metal of my weapon. It seemed somewhat comforting to have my Beretta back again. “You were sitting in your apartment watching soap operas.” Closing the car door, I circled around to stand next to Crash. “Those things rot your brain." "Yeah? We'll I've got a whole DVR full ofDays of our Lives that says differently.” He smiled. “You'd like it I think. They did a bunch of episodes where Marlena was a Vampire. She's a hot blond, just like you."
I shot the Raze Demon a cross look, even though he was the first person to refer to me as hot in a long time. “Can we just do this?"
"It's your dime.” Crash laughed. “This one isn't half as pretty as the last one you dragged me to though." Crash was right. It looked like it used to belong to a rather nice neighborhood, but now the lawn and shrubs were dead, vagrants lived in nearby abandoned houses, while stray dogs wandered in and out of the house looking for their next meal. A pack of legal Werewolves once called this raised rambler home before it had been burned to the ground prior to Brimstone cleaning them out. Only a hint of the original stucco walls remained as the rest was blackened by fire. From my vantage point on the front walk, I could stare easily into the exposed basement through massive holes in the floor. However, it was an illusion. I could see the nearly hidden shimmering bands of color wash over it. "The house is still there. I can see a couple of seams in the magic,” Crash explained. “This spell isn't as complex as the one covering the Vampire's nest. Still don't think a Cleaner Witch pulled this one off,” he stated. “Should have it down in a pinch."
