    Fleece of Gold - Mac Flynn

    Another night, another adventure to be had. This one was going to be a little hairier than usual.

    I shuffled from the room I shared with Simon. It was dark out. It was always dark out now whenever I got up. I just couldn’t will myself to wake up any earlier than nightfall.

    Speaking of the fangy demon, I found his dark princeliness seated on the couch. He finished up a phone call and put the phone down just as I rounded the arm of the furniture.

    Calling one of your blood donors? I teased.

    Simon chuckled and shook his head. No. Cotio is too valuable an asset to risk overfeeding.

    I slipped onto the opposite end of the couch and raised an eyebrow. So it’s about that last heist?

    He sat down beside me and smiled. Yes, and the one before that. The deals have closed with all purchasers, and our companions are soon to be very wealthy. Perhaps this would be a time for celebration.

    I glared at him. "I just got out of bed. I don’t need to go back in there."

    He chuckled and shook his head. As tempting a thought that may be, I was suggesting a vacation of sorts.

    A buzzer rang throughout the penthouse. Certus emerged from whatever shadow he lurked and strode to the doors that led to the lobby. He picked up a phone that hung on the wall and pressed the receiver to his ear.

    Yes? I heard a few garbled words. I see. Certus cupped his hand over the speaker and turned to Simon. Mr. Fortis and another gentleman wish to speak with you.

    Simon arched an eyebrow, but nodded. Allow them.

    Certus returned his attention to the phone. They may come up.

    I looked to Simon. Does Dolf visit you often?

    Simon shook his head. On the contrary, he has never been a visitor here. This should be an interesting conversation.

    Our wait was short. Dolf the werewolf and the other guy showed up a few minutes later. The stranger was a spectacle. His bushy white hair stuck out in all directions, and many of the ends were blackened by fire. He wore a white lab coat with red and purple stains over the front, and he looked at the world through a pair of small spectacles. The open-toed sandals on his feet finished off his strange appearance.

    Simon stood and bowed to his guests before he swept his hand over the chairs opposite us. Good evening, gentlemen. Won’t you have a seat?

    Dolf and the other man took their seats, and Dolf cleared his throat. I’m not sure if you know-

    Doctor Vincent Ficus, Simon finished for him.

    A small smile curled onto Dolf’s lips. I should’ve known he wouldn’t get past you.

    Simon’s eyes fell on the lab-coated man. I must admit I am less familiar with your specific experiments than in your wizarding abilities.

    Ficus frowned. I’m a warlock, not a wizard. Any idiot thinks he’s a wizard if he waves a wand and spouts a lot of nonsense from a book.

    Simon chuckled and bowed his head. My apologies, Dr. Ficus. Warlock skills or not, what brings you both to me?

    Dolf pursed his lips. It’s about one of the Doc’s things he picked up-

    I do not ‘pick up’ things, Ficus objected. He settled into his chair and looked to Simon with narrowed eyes. What Dolf is trying to tell you is I discovered an ancient relic, and now it has been stolen. I want for you to find it and return it to me.

    Simon arched an eyebrow. He leaned back and his eyes flickered between the two men. You appear to have my occupation confused with those of a policeman. I steal objects, I do not find them.

    Ficus glared at Dolf. You told me he’d help.

    Dolf waved his hand at his friend, but kept his sight on Simon. He leaned forward so his elbows rested on his legs and looked Simon in the eyes. I think this one’s in your line of work, though. What was stolen was the Golden Fleece.

    Simon whipped his head to the doctor and his eyes narrowed. What were you doing with such an object?

    Ficus leaned back and crossed his arms over his chest. Research. That’s what doctors do.

    Were you aware of what you ‘researched?’ Simon questioned him.

    I didn’t come here for an inquisition, Ficus snapped.

    Dolf leaned to one side to catch Simon’s attention. We’ll just say his curiosity got the better of him, but that’s not really important. What’s important is we get that back before somebody figures out what they have.

    Simon returned his attention to Dolf. Why do you suspect they are unaware of their treasure?

    Dolf leaned back in his chair and frowned. It was a normal break-in. None of Ficus’s rare books were stolen, but plenty of money is gone. That, and the Golden Fleece. Whoever robbed him was smart enough to realize what they had there.

    Wait, so it really is made of gold? I spoke up.

    Ficus nodded. Yes, but its research value is incalculable.

    Along with its financial value should anyone learn its secret, Simon added.

    Dolf nodded. "Yeah, we know. That’s why we
