The ride to Tonopah only took another two hours. We stopped at the gate before Zane waved us through. I parked the truck and opened my door, sliding from the seat as Rael appeared in front of me.
Freaky fucker.
“What the hell do you want?”
“Just sayin’ hi.” He looked ...happy.
What the fuck? Rael never fucking smiled like that unless he was about to fuck with someone.
I narrowed my eyes. “Don’t scare Bianca.”
My sweet girl closed her door and walked around the front of the truck, stopping when she saw Rael. She blinked. Twice.
“Woah.” She walked up to him, staring at the black and white skull makeup on his face. The skin around his eyes and a patch on each cheek and nose were blacked out. His lips looked like teeth.
A grin spread his mouth wide. “You like it?”
She nodded. “I do. It’s so demented. I can’t help thinking you look like a grim reaper.”
How. Fucking. Accurate.
Rael winked at her. “Fucking cool, huh?”
“You have to show me how you do it. I want to paint my face like that next Halloween.”
Rael chuckled. “Come back, and I’ll show you.”
“Not without me,” I snarled.
Rael snickered. “I got an ol’ lady, Manic. Calm your tits.”
I fucking hated that expression. He knew it, too.
I swear to fuck, he let out a little of his Reaper. His grin stretched far too broad. Almost nightmarish.
Bianca missed it. She gestured to the clubhouse. “I need to pee. I’ll be right back.”
I ticked my chin her way. “We’ll leave when you’re ready.”
When she disappeared inside The Crossroads, Rael frowned. “I feel your shadow. It’s like Maddog’s.”
So?
“You need to use caution. I sense his protectiveness, but,” he paused, shaking his head. “Never mind. You probably don’t want to hear it.”
I lifted my arms and crossed them over my chest. “Just spit it out.”
He didn’t get a chance.
The entrance to the clubhouse opened, and Grim walked out, lighting up a smoke before joining us.
“I feel it too, Rael.”
Relief spread across Rael’s face. Seeing his expression sort of freaked me out. “What’s going on?”
“Sometimes our reapers know things and can sense shit before it happens,” Grim began, shrugging. “Not everyone wants the future spoiled.”
“Is this about Bianca?”
