Chapter 55

Pulling his hand back from Sasha’s thigh, Nathan turned to his brother.

“What’s an incubus?”

Crap. “Uhh…look. Let’s just get through closing things out at the motel first. We can talk more when we get to the new one. I just need to grab our things. You guys stay here.” Nathan was about to turn off the engine but, considering how cold it was this time of year in Maine, he decided to leave the car running.

“You’re leaving us?” Sasha asked in a small, breathy voice, frightened all over again.

“Just for a couple minutes. Can’t risk taking you in with me and having to answer questions. Now, I normally wouldn’t think it was a good idea to leave two five-year-olds alone in a car for evenoneminute, but you guys are gonna behave for me, right?”

Sasha and Jim looked too nervous to do anything but nod. Walter gave Nathan a pointed look that said he would come for him if anything happened.
