Murder in Misery (Spook Squad) Read Online Free PDF Page A

No matter how annoying they are. I can’t protect you in there and I won’t risk my life trying to protect yours. Do you understand that?”
    “ Should you even be going in there?” Matt reached across the console and grasped her wrist lightly a moment before he realized what he had done and he pulled back.
    “ It’s actually pretty damn simple.” Keegan shrugged. “You think normal people get the heebie jeebies from me? I’m off limits to the supernaturals that will be in there. Plus they don’t being around me for too long.”
    “How is that even possible?” Matt reached for the door handle and waite d for some kind of explanation.
    “When you’re like me more people are more afraid of you than not.” Keegan stared out the windshield. “I just give out creepy vibes. Which is understandable if you really get down to the meat and potatoes of it.”
    “What exactly are you Keegan?” Matt finally asked the question that so many people back at the precinct were probably dying to know the answer to. Keegan wasn’t like any other supernatural. Unlike Leeroy and Melinda, she physically appeared human. Her eyes weren’t an odd color that only werewolves had. She didn’t have a bluish tinge to her skin and black veins at her temples like Leeroy did. Out of the entire SIU, she and Gary were the most normal of them all and Gary was a dragon.
    Matt looked up at the neon sign and frowned in confusion as he tried to figure out where exactly they were. “What is this place? How do you even say the name?”
    Keegan rolled her eyes, “This is Diyo’s. You pronounce it die-oh.”
    “Don’t think our earlier conversation is done with.” Matt pointed out as they headed towards the entry way.
    “I’ll tell you after tonight if you still want to know.” Keegan grabbed the door handle and stepped from the relative warmth of her car and into the cold. She didn’t wait to see if Matt would follow her. Instead she made quick time of heading towards a door that was barely visible underneath neon lights. She was muttering something at the man standing just inside the doorway and they were both slipping through. Keegan watched out of the corner of her eye as Matt paused to take everything it.
    It was almost as if he left a world of black and white and dove right into a world filled with color. She could see the way his pupils attempted to adjust under the rainbow bright glow of a black light. He edged closer to her, searching for some form of focus. The crow’s feet at his eyes became more pronounced as his eyes darting around the hallway. As Keegan tugged him further away from the entry way they brushed passed other Supernaturals. The sounds of them scenting both Keegan and Matt as they made their way to the main floor sent shivers up her spine.
    Keegan grabbed his arm and whispered close to his ear as the hallway opened up to the main floor. “Next time don’t try so hard to focus. Once you get through the hallway the whole, someone just drugged my drink feeling disappears. It is spelled to bother the mundane. It’s supposed to make you want to leave.”
    Keegan paused as Matt took in the room. He stood dumbstruck as if he couldn’t believe that a place in the SD could look like this. It was full of warmth, chatter from people pressed close together and music thumping throughout the area. The tables that had been scattered across the floor were full of Supernaturals not hiding behind their human masks of daytime.
    Ghouls let their skin revert to the marble of greens, blues and blacks. Vampires lingered with their eyes dark as night, not a shade of color except the red of their lips . Demon’s flaunted their power with the flick of their eyes. The bright colors that rimmed the pupil indicated how powerful they truly were.
    Keegan felt Matt watching her as she finally dropped all the human barriers she placed on herself during the day. Her shoulders dropped as her body relaxed. Dark lines slipped out from under the
