Mermaid Mayhem
I didn’t like missing person cases, and I liked being kept in the dark
about the details even less.
Unfortunately, when your client was cloistered in the sticks, these things
couldn’t be helped. Mayor Beaumont had stressed that the case was too
sensitive to be discussed over the phone, and even if I could have made out
more than every third word he’d said, it would have taken hours to
communicate the particulars. Forget confidential emails. Until the budding
Hollow could lay down fiber optics, there’d be nary a computer in sight. That
meant I’d have to do this the old-fashioned way—an in-person chat with the
undead bastard himself.

Which would be impossible for at least another hour. The sunset was still
spilling through the cypress trees, tracing every leaf and blade of grass with
pastel light. The trees were unusually thick here, keeping the worst of the
sunlight off the Jeep. I’d had to pay extra to find the type of vehicle needed
for this little outing, and fully expected the mayor to compensate me for my
trouble. Actually, I’d expected more than that—a vampire of his age should
have had old-world sensibilities and sent a town car after me. But nope. It
was Uber or bust. Maybe he couldn’t find a vehicle suited to the terrain—I
mean, he was building this hollow very near a bayou. Maybe the whole
damned thing was just one wrong move from sinking into the muck.
Brice, the driver of the Jeep, studied the terrain with a frown. We’d left
the main road a half hour ago, following the slightly worn dirt path that led to
this little clearing. He looked as puzzled and anxious as I felt. My directions
ended here, and yet there was no clear path through the trees ahead, unless I
wanted to make a brave foray into the woods on foot. In the backwoods of
Louisiana? Hard pass. There was no telling what lurked in the wetlands. It
didn’t even have to be supernatural to do me in, just hungry and determined
enough to give chase.
“You sure about this?” Brice asked, southern accent growing a little
thicker as his worry increased. “I think someone’s yankin’ your tail, draggin’
you this far out. Ain’t nothin’ round here but bobcats an’ gators. They’d eat a
sweet thing like you right up.”
