Sterling Hill Road Chapter 24

James blinked awake to a too-quiet bedroom. He’d set his alarms, but that wasn’t what woke him up. No, it was the sun, he realized, blinking sleepily in the light. The sun was too high for it to be before the alarm was going to go off.  Shit. He grabbed his phone as he was […]

James called Celia a few minutes later as they stood by their cars on the edge of her property. He offered to go over first thing in the morning, remembering his date with Meredith as the offer left his mouth. But she refused anyway, saying the girls needed the morning to rest. They’d talk afterward, […]

Bradley got out of his car, carrying a bag of supplies and wearing what appeared to be sweatpants and a t-shirt. “What’s this look?” James asked automatically as he approached, as though that mattered even remotely at this moment. “I got splashed with duck shit pond water on the Coggshall case,” Bradley said defensively. “Then […]

There was a thump upstairs and Penny screamed in the den. James stared up at the stairs, the phone still in his hand, then motioned for Penny to grab baby Jenny, who was still asleep in her pack and play. Krissy was awake and crying, looking confused as James hurried toward her, the phone cord […]

His phone buzzed at nine the next morning. James was wrapping up the leftover work from the overnight shift, which had thankfully been more paperwork than monsters, and thinking about exactly what kind of enormous breakfast sandwich he was going to eat before passing out for the next twelve hours. Amelia was back now to […]

The sigil in Krissy’s closet came off the wall with the nail polish remover he’d bought to remove Penny’s manicure. James’s eyes were watering by the time the image faded to the point of non-existent. But it wasn’t one of the more difficult ones he’d ever dealt with. An hour of scrubbing (painting over wasn’t […]

James kicked the others out at eleven, when their shift was actually over. He felt bad waking Madelyn up, but if she’d rather go home to her own bed, then it wouldn’t be right of him to keep her here until she woke up on her own at four AM or whatever. Bradley offered to […]

There was another box in James’s office. He crouched down to look at it as he dropped his bag on the floor beside him. This one was actually slightly smaller than the others the Foundation had sent, but sure enough, it was packed so tightly with folders that the top didn’t actually close all the […]

The owner of the auto body shop was skeptical, but agreed to let James send someone to do some readings in his shop and scrapyard. So as soon as Amelia returned, she was on her way back out with an umbrella and a comms unit. James sent her a salute out the living room window. […]
