"I've been wondering, actually, if the talisman might be what really allows Calum to possess him," Ray said thoughtfully. "I know it's a little far-fetched, but looking at some of the things they had at Star Market, it wouldn't surprise me. And if that's it and we get the talisman away from him, than Calum might not be such a threat anymore."

She smiled. "Whatever the case, Josiah did say we need to get it, so doing that must help somehow. You can leave that to me, once this curse is over."
