Chapter 61

“He’ll probably know where to look to find information about demons that might look like bears. That’s kind of a scary thought, isn’t it? A demonic bear?”

Emma lifted her head. “No. I don’t even know what this is. It was just the only thing I found that wasn’t news or a talk show.”

“It doesn’t come on until after lunch. What time is it?”

Emma freed her arm to look at her watch. “It’s twenty past two.”
