“Even if Fairuza talks to Kasabian, if she, Cindil, and you know about this, someone is going to let something slip during a band rehearsal or something.”
“What can we do about that?”
I stand there for a minute running the options over in my head. They’re all rotten.
“Maybe you need to talk to her.”
She puts down her coffee.
“You really think so?”
“Tell her about yourself. Not that you’re Candy or a Jade. But enough to let her know that Chihiro is deep in the Sub Rosa world. And that it’s sometimes dangerous.”
Candy doesn’t say anything.
“Can you do that?”
“If you think it’s a good idea.”
“I do.”
She looks at the clock on the wall.
“I wonder if it’s too early to call Brigitte.”
“It’s probably too late. She’ll be on the set already.”
“Maybe you should call her. I’ll talk to Kasabian.”
“Right.”
We bring coffee into the bedroom. Allegra smiles at it, but sets the cup on the bedside table without drinking any.
Candy stays with her while I leave a message for Brigitte.
“Call me as soon as you get this. And make sure to load your gun.”
That should get her attention.
I go in with Allegra while Candy calls Kasabian.
She sighs and looks at me. Lifts her hands. Lets them drop again.
I sit on the end of the bed.
“We’re going to fix this, Candy and me.”
“I know you’ll try.”
“You take care of us. Now we’re going to take care of you.”
She reaches over and squeezes my hand.
“Thank you.”
“It might take a couple of days. Will he keep that long?”
She bites her lip.
