After defeating the Green Man, you’d think there wasn’t much else for me
to be afraid of in this world.
But then again, you never met my family.
When my mother’s attacked, Thelma and I are whisked off to Las Vegas to
find out what happened. The whole thing stinks, especially after I found
out a deep, hidden secret three months ago. A secret that explains why my
childhood was filled with alcohol and pain.
Excerpt:
“So let me get this straight,” Thelma asked through clenched teeth.
“Someone got you drunk, and because of that you destroyed my
shop?”
“Technically, he destroyed your shop.” Coyote nodded at me. I
grasped Thelma’s hand, giving it a gentled squeeze in hopes to prevent her
from throttling the cocky bastard. Coyote looked calm, but I could see his
own fury bubbling underneath. My anger was there too, don’t get me wrong,
but I tend to not slap around angry gods unless I absolutely have
to.
“And no, I was not drunk,” Coyote snapped. “If I was drunk, this
would be a lot more interesting than the Elk Man visiting you. Someone
did this to me,” he said, astonished and pissed. He jumped to his
feet and paced with increasing rage.
We all flinched back, including Thelma.
“This is unacceptable.” The god paced in anger. “If Crow did this, I’ll
make his feathers fall out for a millennium. Kaulu, Loki, Iktomi, I don’t
care who did this, they will feel my wrath—”
“Are you done?” I asked. “Because I have my own questions.” “You’re going
to piss in my cornflakes, flesh bag?” Coyote growled as he glared at
me.
I didn’t budge. “You heard me. I’ve just cleaned up your mess, and we
deserve some answers.”
“And why should I answer them?” Coyote snarled.
“Because you owe us. We saved you the embarrassment of having the city
destroyed by your wet dream.”
For a moment I thought I’d pushed him too far, but I was too exhausted to
care.
Then Coyote smiled, and that was far scarier. “That’s true,” he said.
“That’s very, very true. Raven would never let me hear the end of
it.”
“You don’t remember anything from last night?” I asked. “No strange magic?
No obvious enemies around?”
“I always have enemies around,” Coyote said, “but no one special
last night. I passed out around two in the morning and ended up here.
Someone… did this to me,” he repeated.
“But who could pull off something like that?”
Coyote cocked his head. “Well, that’s a longer list than I care to
admit.”
“What do you mean?” Thelma asked. “I don’t know of anything that has the
juju to do that.”
“These days are a-changing, little mambo priestess,” Coyote said.
Thelma’s teeth clenched again. I glanced over at Jake, expecting an angry
retort, but he remained stoic, taking everything in but revealing nothing.
His silence worried me.
“There’s magic on the wind,” Coyote explained, as if talking to small
children. “Someone is gathering belief, working like little Worm himself,
digging under the cities of logic and reason.”
“Someone is collecting belief?” I asked. “What does that even
mean?”
“It means someone’s messing with the natural order of things,” Coyote said.
Taking his sunglasses off, he glared at me with one
brown eye and one dark green. “Only my brothers and I are allowed to do
that. So, watch your back, little half-man, because someone set this up in
your backyard. Someone believes you’re more important than me, and that’s
unacceptable.”
A sudden wind blew smoke and ash in my face, and I flinched from his gaze
to wipe my eyes. When I opened them again, Coyote had disappeared.
