Jesse was surprisingly open to conversation. He didnât go into specifics about phoenixes, but he remained calm and rational. When it came time for Cormack to lay out the reaper reality, he listened intently. He sat for hours and was still absorbing when Lily woke from her nap and joined the party in Cormackâs office. She appeared in the door, her eyes still sleepy, and then headed straight for him to climb on his lap.
âHello,â Jesse said, surprise evident. âHow was your nap?â
âShh.â Lily rested her head against his chest, clutching a stuffed gargoyle in her arms. âMy pig is sleepy.â
Jesseâs forehead creased as he regarded the plush toy in her arms, and then slowly he raised his eyes to me. âPig?â
I smirked. âSomething tells me youâre not fully aware of all the paranormals out there.â
âGargoyles are real?â
âAbsolutely.â Aisling bobbed her head. âThe reaper library is run by one. He has a large ⦠tail.â
I had to bite back a laugh. Iâd heard the story about Aisling being confused by what mightâve been Bubâs tailâor mightâve been something elseâmore than once. It always filled me with glee.
âThereâs a whole gargoyle army in the area,â Cormack confirmed. âTheyâve saved our bacon more than once.â
âFlying pigs,â Jesse mused. âMy mother is convinced that youâve been doing odd things here for years.â
âEven for reapers, weâre not normal,â Aisling confirmed, her eyes drifting to me. âI canât believe you broke into their house. That was ballsy.â
âOr stupid,â Cormack growled. âDonât think weâre not having a conversation about that, young lady. Youâve already been arrested once this week.â
I merely shrugged. âI was bothered. What did you want me to do?â
âThe smart thing wouldâve been nice.â
âHey, I uncovered a big secret and got you guys talking.â
Cormack let loose a heavy sigh, looked to the ceiling, and muttered something I couldnât make out. Then he managed a smile for my benefit. âWhat about you? Have you managed to dig up anything new on the golems? Izzy said you were on Belle Isle last night. What were you doing there?â
âIzzy is a big, fat tattletale,â I groused, folding my arms across my chest.
âIzzy has your best interests at heart,â Cormack countered. âWhat were you doing?â
âTaking a swim.â I felt multiple sets of eyes on me and had to fight not to squirm. âItâs not a big deal.â
âThatâs not how I see it.â Cormack wagged his finger. âShe said you were dressed in scuba gear. How do you know how to dive?â
âI have a friend,â I replied evasively. I refused to meet his serious gaze.
âLuna, youâre the one who brought Jesse here because you knew it was best for the strength of the team,â Cormack snapped. âIf you truly believe that, youâll want us to know what you were really doing.â
That was some roundabout thinking. âWeâre not getting into the diving,â I started.
âYou are licensed?â
âSure. Weâll go with that.â I forced a sunny smile that I knew would agitate him. âIt doesnât matter that I went diving. It only matters what I saw.
