\u201cI don\u2019t like it,\u201d J.T. murmured as I caught up with him.\u00a0 \u201cIt feels wrong.\u00a0 The ghosts are restless, too.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSomehow, that doesn\u2019t surprise me.\u201d\u00a0 I exhaled quietly, shaking my head as I fell into step with him.\u00a0 \u201cThe monsters, the restless dead…it doesn\u2019t surprise me.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t like it,\u201d he said again.<\/p>\n
\u201cNone of us do.\u201d\u00a0 I shoved my hands into my pockets.\u00a0 \u201cWe\u2019re going to need Carolyn\u2019s help with the watches.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHer little friends, you mean.\u00a0 We\u2019re going to need them.\u201d<\/p>\n
I grimaced and nodded. \u201cYeah.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHave you had any more episodes?\u201d<\/p>\n
I stumbled a step and he grasped my arm, held me upright until I caught my balance.\u00a0 \u201cJay\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can\u2019t keep hiding what\u2019s been going on,\u201d he said.\u00a0 \u201cI\u2019ve seen how pale you are sometimes when you come back from working on the wards.\u00a0 I\u2019ve noticed that you try to go out and do it when you\u2019re sure Thom\u2019s going to be busy or distracted or whatever.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know that anyone else has seen it, but I have.\u201d\u00a0 He glanced back over his shoulder, then leaned closer to me.\u00a0 \u201cYou\u2019ve got to talk to someone about what\u2019s happening and I don\u2019t care if it\u2019s me or Jac or whoever, but you\u2019ve got to do it and you\u2019ve got to do it before it gets any worse.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know what it is, Jay.\u00a0 How the hell can you two help me when I\u2019ve got no idea what it is and there\u2019s no real rhyme or reason to how it happens or when?\u201d\u00a0 I blew out a quiet breath as we breezed past the shattered garden and down the snow-covered pathway toward the bridge, setting a pace much faster than the one Thom and Phelan were trailing us at.\u00a0 \u201cI wish I knew.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll figure it out,\u201d he said with quiet conviction.<\/p>\n
I snorted softly and shook my head.\u00a0 We\u2019d just have to see about that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
