"Oh hell no," he said. "That girl's a nutcase."

Jared looked between them in confusion.

"Who?" Mallory demanded.

"My... friend-" Laurie began, before Nicholas cut her off.

"Her psychopathic cousin."

"My cousin likes magical creatures," Laurie corrected with a glare.

"Well, what are you waiting for?" snapped Jared. "Go call your cousin."
