Never Ceese by Sue Dent
Chapter 26 by Krystal/Rose
After arriving home from their recent speed bump on the path to salvation, Richard and Ceese head to bed. Meanwhile, Rodney enjoys a beer on the balcony before joining Cassie in the living room. Sitting in silence on the futon for what seemed an eternity, Rodney watches Cassie and finally breaks the uncomfortable silence to know how long she is going to ignore him. Pretending that nothing of the sort is going on, she continues to maintain her attention on the computer. He apologizes, but all she can do is ask why he double-crossed her. Trying to avoid the question Rodney asks what she is so intent about doing on the computer. She finally confides that she is sending Dr. Henderson an email. Upon hearing this, Rodney rushes to her keyboard and deletes the message explaining they don’t know Dr. Henderson’s full intentions.
Cassie knows full well there is something she is missing, so she insists that Rodney tell her exactly why he betrayed her. He explains that he only thought Henderson wanted to talk to Richard and Ceese, but after Josh pulled a gun with silver bullets he’s unsure now. Rodney, now determined to help Richard and Ceese, says they should think about what to say to Henderson before sending any email, but Cassie is unsure if she can fully trust him.
Trying to be useful, Rodney tells Cassie that Henderson is supplying Josh with cocaine in order to coerce him to betray Kyle and himself. Cassie mutters that she should have known he would have friends who are addicts, but Rodney turns the tables with the fact that her friends are both a werewolf and vampire.
Rodney decides that it’s best for Cassie to email Henderson that Richard hasn’t contacted her and she’ll let him know when he does. Cassie still questions trusting Rodney so he explains that he truly wants to help Richard and Ceese, he believes they are what they claim to be and they need his help.
Questions for consideration:
Do you agree with Rodney’s reasons for helping, or is there more too it? If so, what?
What do you think Dr. Henderson’s intentions are?
Do you think Josh is a bad guy or a victim of Henderson’s?
Is there something you noticed in this chapter that you’d like to discuss with the book club?
What is your favorite quote from this chapter?
Never Ceese by Sue Dent
Chapter 27 by Krystal/Rose
While Cassie and Rodney have been up all night chasing after Richard and Ceese, Clayton Henderson was up waiting for Josh to return with his ‘guests’. Wondering if Josh was the right choice to perform his task of kidnapping, a knock at the door interrupts his thoughts. It’s Josh and he brings bad news. As he admits to losing the two of Henderson’s ‘friends’, Henderson is about to close the door on his face, but he stops it just in time by saying he does knows where they. Henderson pleased at hearing this, invites Josh in and supplies him with a quick fix of some nose candy before heading to check his email. After receiving Cassie’s email, Henderson rushes to stir the now phased out Josh and demands to know if Cassie has knowledge of the boys’ involvement with him. Snagging Josh’s cell, he places a call to Cassie immediately.
Back over at Cassie’s place, Rodney answers Cassie’s phone and fails miserably in lying to Henderson. Knowing that Henderson now knows where Richard and Ceese are, they discuss what to do next. At that same moment someone knocks on the door. Walking from the bedroom, Ceese answers. It’s Kyle who’s brought her bags. Ceese tries to explain to Rodney that she willed Kyle to bring them and then swiftly heads back to the bedroom. Rodney tries to gain some answers from Cassie about this, but she is unable to give any.
Finally realizing he has no idea what Richard and Ceese are after here, he prods Cassie for details. Cassie goes on to explain that they wish to be mortal again, that if they die cursed they don’t go to heaven and Ceese doesn’t want to take that chance. She also explains that the curses prohibit them from thinking anything holy, as well as all the traditional superstitions about holy ground, garlic and more. After their conversation they decide they should be getting some rest before Richard and Ceese wake up for the evening.
Questions for consideration:
Do you think Richard wants to be mortal as well or just Ceese? If not, why?
Do you think there is some connection between Richard and Ceese?
Do you think Rodney’s feelings for Ceese are his own, now that we know she can will people to do things?
Is there something you noticed in this chapter that you’d like to discuss with the book club?
What is your favorite quote from this chapter?
Did you notice any foreshadowing in this chapter? If so, what?
