DS Evelyn Cater knows the smell. She grew up in a small Yorkshire market town. Daddy always told her she should marry a farmer, if he could find one willing to put up with a lass who couldnt resist asking questions and who looked like somebody had dressed a piglet in a pinafore dress. Always had a way with words, did Daddy. He said shed never go hungry if she did. Said she should marry somebody who thought they were getting better value for money the fatter their livestock became. She hadnt taken his advice. Never did. Became a copper back when women police constables were about as popular as an uninvited house-guest with chronic diarrhea. She’s done well at it too. The lads rate her highly. She’s put bad people behind bars. She can punch her weight and never backsdown from a ruck. Some of the old boys even forget that she’s female – neglecting to shout ladies present’ whenever some foul language spews forth from a beery lip, or a colleague raises an ample buttock off the barstool and blasts a gust of methane into the smoky air. She feels comfortable in most environments now. Even here. She certainly didn’t have to marry a farmer to get to understand the ways of the countryside. She’s been here a year now, a member of the briskly efficient CID team based at Whitehaven nick, and she’s getting good at reading the skies for signs of impending trouble. There will be violence tonight, she has no doubt. She can read the mood in the valley as clearly as she can foretell a storm from the pricking in her fingertips. Temper hangs in the air like a cloud of gas and she has no doubt that it will ignite before the dawn. Portfolio, he corrects her, amid demonstrations of appreciation from Snowdrop. Ylandras upper lip drew back, baring her sharp white teeth. You?Shistra-Phail? You dont deserve the honour, filthy True Blood. You dont deserve to be one of us, you serpent-born bitch. You don’t deservehim. Max laughed and pulled her onto his lap. Theyd kept Dakotas memory alive for her. Someday, he would have to tell her everything but not until she was old enough to understand. Lets say good night to Aunt Karen, then we’ll go tell Mommy all about it.THE END Max returned with two glasses, a pitcher of ice, and a fresh bottle of bourbon.Youre not going out again, right? He filled a glass with ice and topped it off. “Because otherwise, this is all youre getting. I am cleansing this sacred space. Here, we are untroubled by time. There is no time. Here, we are each governed by the same heartbeat: our pulse is the creaking of the fire and the beating of my drum. This is a place of freedom, untainted by negative energies. This is a gateway for the spirits, a barrier between two worlds: a veil between the here and the hereafter…. I flipped on the radio and found my favorite easy listening station, placed the vehicle on cruise, and relaxed. I had a plan. Everything worked better when I had a plan. The face of the girl fills the screen in all her horrific glory. The first full reveal, and an effective jump scare as the creature screeches and— Ah, came the sigh of realisation, of understanding. It flowed around her, chilled her. Not this face. Not anymore. How fickle you mortals are. Something else then, something more like this. So maybe he still was in there somewhere. Shh... Jeren placed her hands on either side of his face. A smile flickered over her lips, affection, amusement. She was magnificent, his mate, even in the face of such stubbornness. She was a River Holter, he supposed. No one could possibly be as stubborn as her. And he loved her for it. More every second. Think of something good in your life. Think of something that brings you joy. A good thought. Its a new service, says Rowan, trying for charm. Were going door to door, visiting readers, filing in any gaps in the narrative and checking youre happy with your purchase …, Hes alive thanks to her. The paramedic finished packing his bag. You two should be checked out too. Smoke inhalation isnt anything to fool around with. Were they identical twins? Max asked. Get up and stop this. She raised her hand a third time, but his lashed out catching her wrist. Something stronger than coffee. I moved down the hallway. Call in a delivery. Neither of us should be going anywhere alone until we figure out whats going on here..
