“Really? This is when you decide to make jokes?”
She showed a small smile, her lip quivering. I let out a sigh. “It’s what I do best.” Her voice shook.
“That was fucked,” Libby said, her singsong tone returned.
“Quite,” Josh added, as he brushed the Demon chunks from his hair.
“Now what?” Libby asked as she sat next to Erin, tucking her knees underneath herself and wiping away a few fleshy pieces that snagged Erin’s gear. Erin swatted Libby’s hand away.
She’s reacting…a lot better than I would expect…
Erin regained her composure. “Now, we find those humans,” she flashed Libby a smile as she stood, pulling Libby up with her. Libby’s back stiffened briefly; her eyes clouded for a nanosecond before Erin released her. A glint of mischief gleamed in the corner of Erin’s eye.
My gaze narrowed.
What are you not telling me, Snow?
Chapter thirty-eight
Erin
(Earlier that day)
Hey.
Good morning, Miss Snow. To what do I owe the pleasure?
I have a question and potentially a favor to ask you.
Go on, Miss Snow.
I might have a lead, but I need help tracking down a Demon or two. Know anyone who might be able to help?
Miss Snow, I request that if you are asking what I think you are asking, that you do not go wandering after one on your own.
You may have improved your skills in training, but it would be foolish to charge ahead, alone.
I sighed and bit back the snarky remark at the tip of my fingers as I texted Josh that morning.
I wasn’t planning on going alone. I’m not that stupid.
I didn’t say you were, Miss Snow. Simply that it would be foolish. And you don’t strike me as someone foolish. Now, what do you need from me?
Libby is going to be with me but I need you to tag along as well.
And since you seem to have a way about hunting down said Demons, I would greatly appreciate assistance in locating one.
And questioning.
I will assist. However, you must do the questioning. Not me.
Why?
Practice, Miss Snow. You are not the most intimidating individual.
Ugh. Fine. But one more thing.
Yes?
