    Summary

    Melanie stared down at her fine leather handbag. “I don’t want him to do something stupid. Like find a way to hurt himself. Or… maybe hurt someone else.”

    Ah. Edwin leaned forward on the desk, steepling his fingers. “I see,” he said. “In that case, you are not only looking for our help as investigators. You are also potentially in need of bounty hunters.”

    “Of course not!” Melanie exclaimed, bristling. “I’m not asking you to kidnap him at gunpoint! I just want you to find my stupid little brother before he cocks up something serious!”

    Edwin shrugged. “Semantics,” he said simply.

     

    The boys take on a case that will be very easy to solve. It will definitely not bring about any unexpected complications or zany hijinks.

    Summary

    “What is it?” Charles asks.
    “Hang on,” says Edwin. He flips rapidly through pages of his notebook. He magically extended it a while back, so the bloody thing’s got more than seven-hundred pages full of Edwin’s notes and sketches. It makes for a tense several seconds of flipping.
    When he does stop, finding the correct page and holding it open under the light, Charles’ breath catches in his throat.
    “Is this her?” Edwin asks urgently.
    Edwin’s a damn good artist, even if he insists it’s just a practical thing. He’s captured her likeness shockingly well. Lank hair, full cheeks, sullen pout. Wide, staring eyes.
    “Yeah,” Charles breathes. “That’s her. Who is she?”
    Edwin is clearly horrified. No, it’s worse than that. Edwin looks scared. Charles’ instincts all kick up into high gear, and he has to clench his fists to resist the urge to simply shove Edwin into his backpack.
    “I don’t know,” Edwin says quietly, like he’s afraid of being overheard. “But I’ve seen her.” He hesitates. “In Hell.”

    Summary

    "We offer up," Charles reads, "this virgin sacrifice." He catches Edwin's gaze. "Only technically true. If we're looking for a technicality..."

    "Charles," says Edwin, his eyes enormous.

    "I know. If it gets you out, though, if there's even a chance—"

    Charles and Edwin have sex in Hell. It solves all their problems and gives them everything they ever wanted.

    Summary

    Edwin sighed and unfolded his hands to push his hair back. “I suppose this was inevitable,” he allowed.
    Charles beamed. “That’s the spirit. Look at it this way — you’ve never been to a house party before, and here’s one that’s right up your alley!”
    “Ominous and full of peril?” Edwin asked sardonically.
    “Exactly!” Charles agreed. “This way you get to go to a party you’ll actually like, because it’s actually a mystery. And once you solve the mystery, the party ends. I couldn’t have thrown you a better one myself.”
