Jess woke to the sound of her sister arguing on the phone.
'I know what the Sheriff said, but we need to go to Picayune. I have a friend there who can help find a more permanent solution than drawing biro on my sister's arm for the rest of her life.'
'And what happens if he goes looking for you?' She heard the Deputy ask.
'Tabitha has it covered. Don't worry about it.'
'Easier said than done,' he sighed.
'We're not running from Texas. We'll be back as soon as we can. You know we don't have any choice in this.'
'I don't understand why your friend can't come here,' he argued.
'It's not possible,' dismissed Ash, not bothering to explain. 'Just trust me, Elijah. I'll make sure we're back before the end of the week.'
Jess listened to the silence on the other end of the phone before the Deputy spoke.
'Just stay safe, Ash. I hope you find answers for Jess where you're going.'
'I have faith.'
Jess continued to listen to their conversation, but after a few moments, they said their goodbyes and the conversation drew to a close.
'He seems worried,' she said finally, shifting in her car seat to watch the tarmac as they drove.
'I think that's just his natural being. Breaking the law doesn't come easy to him.'
'Breaking the law doesn't come easy to most normal people.'
'Good thing we're not normal.' Ash grinned. 'Speaking of normal people. How did Laura take it that you wouldn't be in class?'
'I don't know. She wouldn't answer my call.'
The smile dropped from Ash's face. 'I'm sorry Jesse.'
But Jess just shrugged. 'S'not your fault.'
'What about your lecturers?' Ash asked, looking to change the subject.
'I told them I was sick, and they said that I could rewatch the lesson recordings to catch up.'
'I guess that's something.' Ash forced herself to sound cheery.
'Who are we going to see anyway?' Jess looked out the window, refusing to show her sister how much Laura's rejection hurt her.
'An old friend. Do you remember Babet?'
'Not really.'
'We used to work together.'
'And you think she can help?'
'Those symbols you're wearing are what she taught me. Her family is creole and they have a lot of legends around gifts like ours. And have you seen one ghost since we left Texas?'
