“That’s it?”
“Pretty much. He’s going to do some memory and IQ tests later on. He’s got to borrow the protocols from a psychologist friend.”
“Tell him not to bother. You’re sharp enough to beat anything he can try.”
She gave him an odd look. “You really mean that?”
“Love, you outwitted two vampires, three if you count Stella, but she abetted, didn’t she?”
“After she tried like the dickens to talk me out of it.” He owed Stella an apology.
“What have you discovered so far? You can read fortunes in cards, you might have someone who can tell you where the leather shop moved to, and you can terrify thugs.”
“And Jane and I wandered for three days before Vlad rescued us.”
“You’re sure about that?”
“Yes. I don’t know what help it is, but I’m sure.”
“Right, then. Let’s follow up that leather shop lead.” If it turned out to be a dead end, so much the better. He could convince her to leave. Just knowing he was deep into the West Country gave him the willies. Who knew where a witch might lurk? Angela would no doubt smile if he spoke of his worries. She hadn’t seen what witches did to Kit Marlowe and had no idea how risky it was just being here. But now he was here. And staying as long as she was. “Where’s this shop then?”
“You really want to come with me?”
His hand closed over hers. “Why not? You never know when a vampire might come in handy.”
Angela couldn’t be more pleased if she tried. Tom was seeing reason and agreeing to help. She kissed him. Hard. Darn the passersby. “Thanks, Tom.” They were just a few yards from the small butcher’s shop she’d found yesterday. “I’d better get something to eat. This is hungry work. I almost ate the carpet this morning.”
“Having a party, then?” The aproned assistant asked as he rolled steaks, chops, and three chickens in layers of white paper. “You were in here yesterday, if I remember rightly.”
She’d better find another shop or her level of consumption would soon get noticed. “Your meat was so good, I decided to come back and stock up.”
Tom insisted on carrying the three packages. She let him. Might as well pick her battles. “Where next?” he asked as they stood on the narrow sidewalk.
“Mr. Lee’s. The place Meg Merchant told me about. I found it yesterday but it was closed.”
“Lead on.” He grinned. “Might as well get this sorted out so we can go home.”
He was a whole lot more optimistic than she was. But she kept that to herself. Tom was a welcome ally, and maybe today she would find a clue to whom she was. “Come on.” They meshed fingers and crossed the street.
Tom paused only just long enough to shove a pack of chops in his raincoat pocket—who knew when she might need them to keep her strength up—and stash the rest of her raw meat in the trunk of his car and together they walked up Fore Street. Angela wanted to look for leather shops; he’d humor her. He was convinced this quaint little town was a hotbed of witches, but surely for just one day, they’d remain unnoticed and stay out of trouble.
