O’Toole House Chapter 17

James actually opened the door this time when Gabriella knocked. “Hi,” she greeted cheerfully.  “Hey.” He didn’t move out of the doorway. “You don’t have to stay,” he said. “I’m fine.” No he wasn’t. Even if he was sober right now, he still looked like hell. But the rejection stopped her short despite everything.  “Do […]

O’Toole House Chapter 16

Gabriella was pretty certain that Father McEnerney was going to get them thrown out of the library study room. “A DEMON DEAL?” he demanded, standing next to Nick Bana’s seat and towering over him with righteous fury. “You made a FUCKING DEMON DEAL?” She’d never heard him swear before. And based on the look on […]

Amelia looked completely worn out when they got back to headquarters a little while later. “Just tell me what he said,” she told Gabriella and Bradley as they shrugged off their coats. Gabriella played the tape for her, wincing again at each new detail Nick Bana provided. Amelia’s face was set in anger and exhaustion […]

The next morning, Bradley’s phone rang as they were wrapping up the discussion of Mama’s Kitchen, where the salt around the necklace had apparently resolved the problem. He answered in that curt, almost polite way he’d started after James got on him for his phone manners months earlier. But he immediately scowled. “No, that’s not […]

O’Toole House Chapter 11

Another extended family dinner and Gabriella was far too conscious of James’s absence. They were at Gran’s house again and this time the event was Celia’s promotion at work. But while that was exciting and worth celebrating, it was also very clearly an excuse to get the family together. Not that Gabriella minded, but it […]

O’Toole House Chapter 10

Even though Gabriella had been going nonstop since she got to work, it was surprisingly satisfying to get those exercise machines out of the medbay. She and Bradley hauled them up the bulkhead stairs and put them out by the trashcans. “The Foundation is going to need to pay for a dumpster for these,” Gabriella […]

BRADLEY Your fucking ghost king is here Gabriella blinked awake to the sound of her phone chirping with an incoming message. She rubbed her eyes, looked at the message again, and then rubbed her eyes again to make it make sense. Ah. Right. Poor Elliot was apparently on shift with Bradley. And it was almost […]

O’Toole House Chapter 8

Gabriella and Bradley were back at the O’Toole House. And just because it was the middle of the night did not mean that Gabriella was more freaked out by this place than she otherwise would be. She had to keep telling herself it was just an ordinary night case. But just like before, Bradley was […]
