Chapter 86

“Nope. We went clubbing,” Tonio replied, straight-faced.

“Without us? No fair,” Jon said, feigning a pout.

“Next time,” Tonio promised.

To Brody, Tonio looked, if not happy, at least happier than he had a few hours ago. Maybe he did unburden himself to Kurt, and it helped.

“What did you do to kill the time?” Tonio asked.

Jon grinned. “Took out zombies and skeletons on our way to the Big Bad.”

“Again?” Tonio shook his head. “Aren’t you guys tired of that game yet?”

“Which game,” Kurt asked. When Brody told him, he said, “Never heard of it.”

“You’re a gamer?”

Kurt shrugged. “I’ve been known to get hooked on a couple of them. Not that it’ll do me any good now, even if you have them.”

“Give it time, Kurt.”

“How much time? A week, a month, a damned year?” Kurt stormed out of the room, as much as that was possible for a new ghost still learning the ropes.

“You’re feeling better, I think, and Kurt’s feeling worse,” Jon said to Tonio.
