Summary
Another gust blew by, whistling in Edwin’s ears through the tiny holes in his knit hat. In the faintest whisper, the wind spoke in a commanding rasp that prickled up Edwin’s spine. “It’s time to give it back.”
Edwin grasped onto the arm of Charles’ coat before he could take another step forward. “Edwin?” Charles said, glancing back.
Against his better judgement, Edwin ignored Charles and took the bait. “Give what back?”
“It was never yours to keep.”
Or, sometimes you escape Hell, inexplicably turn up alive, and make a peaceful life for yourself and your best mate in a little village on the coast of Wales. It's hard to know what's more aggravating for Edwin--that Hell has come knocking again, or that all of a sudden he can't stop his heart from beating out of his chest whenever Charles catches his eye.

Summary
Charles steps forward until he’s standing directly behind him, dagger in hand. In one swift motion, he snakes a hand around the chair Payne is sitting in, ready to tilt his chin up and drive the dagger in with the other and –
Violent, white light floods his eyes; offensive, consuming, and burning. He’s blasted backward by an invisible force and...
There, on a woven chain around Payne's neck, lies a small, pinkish-purple stone, pulsing with energy that Charles can’t quite place.
Well, Fuck.
So much for in and out, he supposes.

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.”Series

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.
