My phone vibrates and once again it’s the pair of idiots I have as friends bothering me.

Val: Pulse check.

Mariah: Again, unnecessary.

Val: How deep?

Mariah: How deep is what?

Val: Is the stick up your ass?

Mariah: -.-

Mariah: But Evie, are doing okay?

Evie: No. Yes. Maybe. I don’t know. I recruited the Medical Examiner who almost cut me open to help. It also turns out that he was my childhood crush who I never stopped thinking about…

Val: Ooo la la. At least he already saw you naked. Takes away any awkwardness.

Mariah: I⁠—

Mariah: That’s insane, Val.

Evie: You just have to ignore her Mariah. It’s what I do. Anyways, he are running around town with me trying to help with finding a witch.

Val: Send a pic or it didn’t happen.

I roll my eyes.

Evie: How about I send a picture if I make it through the night?

Mariah: We accept.

Val: Wait, couldn’t he be your soulmate? Why not just take him to pound town?

Mariah: First sane thing she has said.

Evie: It’s getting close to midnight. If I sleep with I’m and I’m wrong, that’s it. I’m dead. So finding the witch is my only option.

Mariah: You’re Right. Don’t sleep with him. I can’t bear to be on this Earth with Val without you.

Val: I say do it. The best things in life is worth the risk.

Mariah: Do not listen to her.

They continue going back and forth and I put my phone back into the pocket of my scrubs pants.

Rowan looks at me and holds out a hand. “Ready?”

I nod.

We hit up every bar and shop in town based on the location provided to us from Serene. That purple headed bitch, I mean, witch, was nowhere to be seen.

I’ve got three hours until I end up on a poster with some corny clouds and angel wings. I’m not even exaggerating. I know Val will do it if not to just entertain herself.

I’m handling this pretty well. Probably because I’m drunk but a win is a win.

Now we are standing outside with no moves left.
