- I've been having these dreams.
Now, I'm a wizard-for-hire-in the phone book and everything and I face the stuff of nightmares regularly. Lately, I've been dreaming about me and Dad when I was a kid and he was a lousy stage magician. This was after my mother a wizard like me died, and Dad was trying hard to keep me out of the family business.
Bob says having this dream all week means something, and maybe the old spirit is right, but that isn't my biggest concern it's a boy named Scott.
When he hired me, I figured he's a normal kid who let the monsters in his closet get to him, and I blew him off. But Bob kept hounding me to check Scott's situation out just in case. He's persistent, and probably pissed that I ruined his equations for building a powerful talisman called a Doom Box.
So I reluctantly asked Melissa, one of my sources, to check High Council records for any mention of Scott. She said she found nothing. I played it safe, and gave the kid a protection symbol to keep the nasties out.
Along the way, I met Scott's teacher, Ms. Timmons. That last part's important, because right then I got a call from Murphy, the Chicago cop who sometimes asks me to help with the weird cases. This time, it was a woman who'd been skinned, but her clothes had been left intact and bloodless.
Looking at pictures in the victim's apartment, it was clear that Timmons was the victim. She'd already been killed and replaced by a skinwalker when I met her. The skinwalker, wearing a new Timmons suit, was after Scott.
I ran to Scott's house, but he'd already been taken by Ravens, who're neutral, and can't be stopped by my protection symbol. I theorized that the Ravens are working for the skinwalker. Melissa, too. She lied about Scott not being on the High Council's radar. Scott has huge magic potential, and the Council would certainly know about him.
Then the skinwalker herself showed up and blew my theory all to hell by torturing me to find Scott. Whoops.
Bob, who hates the sight of my blood even more than I do, caved and gave up the Ravens. "Timmons" left to track Scott, but I got to the Ravens first, and Bob finished work on his Doom Box.
I convinced them to let Scott go to his mother while I took care of the skinwalker. She was fascinated when I gave her the Doom Box which lived up to its name, and disintegrated her. Bob does good work.
This isn't the last time someone's gonna come after Scott, especially once his powers start to manifest. His mother promises to call me if something else happens, but still, I worry.
