Nightwatch Ch. 02: Suburban Bliss

... I got the phone call.

"Lu, try this one and we'll go over it together in a minute, okay?" I smiled at him.

"Okay!"

I stepped out and answered his call in my office a second later. "Hello? Baba?"

"Hello, Taumi. I spoke to my friend."

"Does he know of anything?"

"He said that he's heard of a mutual friend that travelled to a place called Tennessee and hasn't been heard from for about a year and a half. He didn't find it troubling. You know our kind. Distracted easily. But there's also whispers of a new type of magic."

"What? What kind?" I frowned. We'd lived all over Europe, Asia, and Africa. For him to call anything new was fucking weird.

"Something big. A tribe that does something know one knows about."

"So, then, how does your friend know?"

"He talks a lot. Parties a lot with our kind in his expensive building in the city. Someone mentioned beings that travel between the veils."

"Never heard of that."

"No one quite knows what they are either, just that they keep to the shadows and people go missing wherever they go."

"They aren't stationary."

"No. It sounds like it is the same group that travels." He paused. "You know what that means, Taumuriya..."

"The carnival."

I finished helping Luca with his homework, barely feeling the glow of his improvement while my mind whirred in the turbulent anxiety my father's call left.

Luca was finally asleep a few hours later, and I sat in bed with Suzie, going over our ...

... options.

"We don't know it's the people Luca ran from," she said.

"Why was he at his school then? Su, he was there for us, I know it"

"Even so, it might not be the same people from the rumors. And even then we don't know what they would even want."

"I'm not going to let anything hurt him." I growled.

"Of course we won't. He's safe with us, darling. More safe than he could be with human parents."

"I wish we could just ask him, but I'm afraid to trigger something for him, you know how he shuts down."

"Why don't we have your father stay for a while? For some back up just in case and they could take the opportunity to meet as well."

I clenched my jaw. "Yeah. He'd like that and until we have more information, it would make me feel better."

"Okay."

"In the meantime, whenever he's at his friend's house. I want to keep him safe."

"You want to spy on him when he's out of the house?"

"Yes! He's vulnerable when he's not with us."

She sighed. "Okay, Mor. I promise everything is going be okay, though."

I took a moment to calm down as she hugged herself to my side.

"Yeah. We're okay."

She kissed the underside of my jaw.

We hugged all night, speaking softly and repeating words of love to each other.

True to my word, I hired our private investigator to trail Luca during the day, instructing her to call me whenever she saw something out of the ordinary.

Thanksgiving came around, and we were invited to Josh and Sandy's house for the holiday. ...
