Skeleton Crew (2011)
“As it turned out, news of the hit beat us back to Van Nuys and the spirit wasn’t inclined to jack me up on a technicality. He’d arranged to escort Adan and me to the Mocambo later that night. It seemed the piskies weren’t welcome—La Calavera had a problem with the way the fairies had moved in and used her turf as a rest stop on the way from Avalon to Arcadia.
I also considered asking Adan to stay behind. I knew the only way to stop the zombie outbreak was to rescue the Xolos, but in the meantim...e there were zombies running loose in L.A. Still, if Oberon, Terrence and Chavez couldn’t keep a lid on things, Adan probably wouldn’t make much of a difference. I didn’t really know what I’d be walking into—except that it was an underworld nightclub in the Between run by the Lady of the Dead. Even if I couldn’t be sure where I stood with Adan, I needed backup. I also needed to keep an eye on him.
We grabbed some dinner in my condo and then crossed back over into the spirit world a little after ten.MoreLess
