something definitely off.  Almost as if there are polar opposite roots of magic inside him.  That doesn’t make sense, though.”
    It didn’t, but it did.  Rhiannon thought about her earlier observation of Remy in the sunlight and how he’d seemed to bask in the warm, bright glow.  Her head began to hurt and she rubbed at her temple.  If her nephew was a hybrid, then that was a bigger can of worms than she could mentally deal with at the moment.  “So, any thoughts on what to do about Red?”
    “Only one and you won’t like it.”
    She dropped her hands and looked hard at her friend, one side of her mouth twitched up in an almost smile. “Tell me anyway.”
    “Well, we both know breaking a curse is not an easy prospect unless we know who placed it.  We can try to breech the block, but the underworld prisons have existed a long time.  If that were possible, surely someone would have done it by now.  So that means, unless we want to let her suffer for eternity, I say we sneak her out of there.”
    “A prison break!” Rhiannon dropped her head back in exasperation. “That’s your idea?  You just said underworld prisons have existed for a long time. How do you expect us to get her past all of that magic?”
    Lynlee was quiet, which meant she was thinking.  Which might or might not have been a good thing.  Even the dog respected the moment, sitting back on her haunches and waiting instead of demanding another ball toss. 
    Suddenly Rhia stood.  “And you are not involved in this except on a consultation basis.  You’re injured, remember?”
    “Pfft.” The witch waved her hand in the air, dismissing that comment. “I’m fine.  I can help with this.  It’s time for me to get out of the house, Rhia.”
    “Uhm, no way.  No way in hell.  Do you know what Beck would do to me?”
    “Beck?  He’s human.  You’re a werevamp.  I’m pretty sure you can take him.”
    Rhiannon stared down at her friend. “I’ll sedate you if I have to.” She wagged her finger.
    Frowning, Lynlee crossed her arms over her chest and pouted. “Fine.”
    “Okay, then.  Now about Red.  Do you think...” About that time, her phone began to ring, and she hurriedly fumbled through her pockets until she found it. “Hello?”
    “Hey there, my love.”
    “Sandy!” She perked up immediately, hugging the phone to her ear as if she were embracing the man himself. 
    “Sorry I hadn’t touched base earlier.  I took some calls last night since I wasn’t staying with you so I needed to get some shut-eye.”
    “It’s okay, sweetheart, I understand.  Where are you now?”
    “I’m at your house.  Will you be here soon, or should I meet you somewhere else?”
    She glanced up at Lynlee while he spoke, and her friend had her mouth open, her finger pointing down her throat, making a gagging noise.  Rhia rolled her eyes. “We’re at Lynlee’s, but if you’ll just sit tight, I’ll try to get there in about fifteen.”
    “We?  Is your sister with you?”
    Clenching her eyes closed as if she could hide from the answer, she dropped her head in her hands. “It’s a long story.  I’ll be there soon.”
    “So, I’ll do some research on this phoenix problem.” Lynlee grinned as she stood. “Since I’m a consultant and all.”

Chapter 10
    “S o how’s she doing?” Rhiannon asked a few days later as she followed Prieto through the winding twists and turns to Red’s cell.  She glanced at the time on her cell phone, thinking that Sandy would probably be giving Remy his bedtime bottle about now. 
    The angel remained stoic, staring straight ahead as he walked in long stiff steps across the stone hallway. “She’s not better.”
    Rolling her eyes, Rhiannon shook her head and snorted. “Yeah, funny how that works with curses.”
    They found Red in the same meditative position as before, though this time she was sitting atop her bed with a mountain of blankets across her shoulders.  When they walked in, she
