Chapter 244: Chapter 244

INT. - GERRI'S CAR to OPHELIA AGENCY - NIGHT

Kinsey sat silently in the passenger's seat of Gerri's Charger, just grateful they were parked when the detective took Ray's call. Bad enough she was trapped in the front with Gerri's bheast trying to beat its way through her body and let loose, but if they'd been driving, Kinsey was sure they'd have caused a massive pile up by now.

As it was, she found herself placing a wall of power between her and Gerri, a subtle thing that came from instinct. She could have used her ability to calm the detective, to prematurely end her fit of anger. But, Kinsey made herself an unspoken promise shortly after discovering what her grandmother did to her. That she would never use her power against others unless her life depended on it. And though Gerri's fit would have been terrifying to anyone else, Kinsey was sure her friend would never hurt her.
