Edge of Darkness: The Complete First Season (Paranormal Investigations Unlimited)
Page 31
Even though she knew Logan disagreed, Presley thought that night at the funeral home had changed Muncie and Simpson. She got the feeling it wouldn’t be long before both men were offering to help Logan out at Paranormal Investigations Unlimited in their off-duty hours. When she’d mentioned it to Logan, he only scowled at the idea. He still didn’t think much of Simpson.
That night had changed Presley, too. She’d realized there was no way she could ever go back to her old life as a school counselor after everything that happened and had announced she wanted to work with Logan full time. He’d tried to dissuade her, reminding her about the crappy pay and even crappier hours, but she’d stayed firm. To her surprise, Logan had relented without too much of a fight, so to convince him she was serious, she spent as much time as possible studying the books in his library and honing her weapon skills.
In between the wedding preparations, home renovations and ghost hunter training, Presley also let Jennifer know it was safe to return to the apartment. But only after she and Logan had cleaned it up a bit. While they were able to touch up the walls and repaint, the couch was a goner. Presley gave Jennifer a lame excuse about spilling something on it and promised her a new one. As soon as she and Logan did a job for a furniture salesman, of course. Until then, some bean bag chairs and throw cushions would have to do.
On the other side of the couch, Logan swore under his breath, interrupting her musings. Presley looked up to see him getting to his feet.
“I still can’t in touch with Mav.” He shoved his cell phone in the pocket of his jeans. “That's it. I’m going up there and check it out.”
She frowned. “You mean we have to check it out. We’re a team, remember?”
His jaw tightened. “It’s too dangerous. I don’t even know what I’m going to be up against.”
“Which is all the more reason you need me to go with you.” She saved the file she was working on, then closed her laptop and stood. “Someone has to watch your back.”
“Presley…”
She walked over and silenced him with a kiss. “Haven’t you learned yet how determined I am when I want to do something? I’m going. End of story.”
“More like stubborn,” he muttered, then let out a sigh. “Okay. Then you’d better go pack because we need to get up there as soon as possible.”
“Give me thirty minutes.”
It actually took Presley a little longer than that, and Logan was waiting impatiently for her in the living room when she came back out.
“Where exactly are we going anyway?” she asked as she handed him the bag she’d packed.
He slung it on his shoulder. “Clay Harbor, Maine. Mav went up there to help out another hunter and now I can’t reach him. I wouldn't normally be worried since Mav sometimes disappears for weeks at a time when he’s in the middle of a hunt, but I can’t get through to the local cops, either. In fact, I can’t get anyone in the whole town to answer the phone, and all of the websites from the businesses in the area are down. Something is wrong. I can feel it.”
“You have no idea what the other hunter was doing up there?”
Logan shook his head. “None. Which means we need to be prepared for anything.”
Presley’s mind whirled as she ran through all the different paranormal creatures she’d read about in Logan’s books. How did they fight something if they didn’t know what they were facing?
“Did you make sure we have salt and hematite?” she asked as she followed him to the door. “How about sage bundles? Wooden stakes? Infrared strobe lights? Wolfsbane?”
Logan’s mouth quirked. “You’re already starting to sound like a hunter. You can stop worrying. I keep the Hummer loaded with a variety of supplies. If we don’t have something, we’ll improvise when we get there.”
When she nodded, he opened the door. She started to walk past him into the garage, then stopped. Spinning around, she gave him a quick kiss on the mouth.
“Wait here. I have to grab one more thing.”
“What?” Logan asked as she ran into the kitchen. “I already told you we have everything.”
Ignoring his question, Presley opened the fridge and pulled out a box of leftover pizza. She held it up with a grin. “Food. It’s a long drive up to Maine.”
