"I haven't been here long, so probably not for a little while." Joe knew he'd end up somewhere dangerous and deadly sometime before he turned twenty-eight. He'd never celebrated a twenty-eighth birthday in any of his reincarnations. "I'm not really thinking about it," he lied. "Just going to enjoy my time here stateside. Spend time with my grandparents. That's why I was at the picnic on Monday. They live in Sleepy Hollow." That part, at least, was true.
