O’Toole House Chapter 22

The sound of a key in the lock snapped Gabriella out of a dream as she sat up with a gasp. At the door, Amelia also took a startled step backward. “Sorry!” she said. “Is James up?” “I have no idea,” Gabriella admitted, blinking as the room around James’s couch came into focus. “I just […]

“Gab, I need to talk to you.” James had actually been the one to text her. And she hated that tiny little shiver that went through her when he did, remembering that text to Bradley. But that one wasn’t him and it was over. So when he’d asked her if they could talk after work, […]

Madelyn left for Brazil the next morning. Gabriella didn’t blame Madelyn for how anxious she was about it, she would be asking the same questions if this had happened right before she was about to leave the country for a week. “Yes, you should go,” Amelia had said the day before when Madelyn was wrapping […]

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.

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 […]

Gabriella’s ability to remain nicer than Bradley was tested about half an hour later when his phone rang again as he was washing their latest mountain of dirty coffee mugs.  “If it’s work related, can you get that?” “How would I possibly know if it was work related?” Bradley sighed irritably, but he was still […]

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 […]
