The Gargoyle Overhead
“Cassandra put out some water and apples for him and told him she’d be in the back room, sorting a new shipment of tarot cards and Toronto keychains.
She also told him that Katherine would be there really soon. “You’ll be safe if you just stay here, okay? I’m right there,” she said, pointing to the room behind the hanging beads. “Just call me if you need me.” She disappeared behind the beads with a swish of her long skirt.
Gargoth started pacing back and forth between the door and the Bu...ddha statue. He had a scowl on his face.
When a deliveryman banged on the door ten minutes later, he stood very quietly, still as a statue. Cassandra said through the glass, “Sorry, we’re closed,” as she pointed at the “CLOSED” sign hanging there.
“Lady, I gotta deliver these necklaces now, or you’re not gonna get them any time soon. They go back to the wholesaler if I don’t drop them off right now.”MoreLess
