For the first few minutes of their drive, no one spoke. They were all afraid that Marion had somehow set a trap for them ahead, and was waiting in the dark to spring it on them. As Joanna floored the pedal, taking a very long circuitous route back to the safe house, there was an unspoken sense of danger in the air.

And as usual, no one wanted to jinx their luck so far by speaking. So they maintained a heavy silence.

It worked well for Emily since she was furious with herself for putting her life and the lives of her friends in unnecessary danger. She should not have allowed herself to believe that Marion would do something as treacherous to his family as giving her the very tool she needed to destroy them.

Even if they were evil, he wouldn’t do it. She should have known. Who did she think she was to Marion to even conceive of the thought? They had just met a few weeks back. They hadn’t even had a straight conversation—or at least one that didn’t border on destroying the world and killing her to do it. Yet, she’d been arrogant enough to think that just by batting her eyelashes she could get Marion to turn on people he’d known and trusted all his life.

“At least we got the name of The Man,” Joanna said into the silent void in the car. This time, Michael was in front with Joanna, while Rina sat in the back with Emily.

Michael was visibly angry, his face pinched, and Emily could tell it centered on her. Of course, there might be a number of reasons why he would be angry with her—one of which could be that he thought she’d botched the negotiations with Marion. Nevertheless, Emily suspected that the core of his anger with her was the issue they’d had in the past. The same one she’d been unable to apologize for, not because she didn’t want to, but because she hadn’t had the time yet. What with the world ending and such. And everything she did to upset him from then on would just fuel the fire.

“Astaroth of the Evil Trinity,” Rina breathed. “That sounds very foreboding.”

“And did Marion say he was a demon rove?” Joanna asked. Joanna looked through the rearview mirror at Emily.

Emily nodded. She was careful not to speak. She knew that her voice would only incense Michael further, and she didn’t want to fight with him. Not now, when she was hurting enough for two.

“I don’t know what a demon rove is capable of,” said Rina. “And I pride myself on knowing a lot of things about the supernatural world.”

“A demon rove is exactly what it sounds like,” Michael snapped. “A rove who has empowered himself with a demon.”

Emily stayed silent. She didn’t think that was exactly right. But she also didn’t want to piss him off further.

“Naturally, a demon is a powerful foe,” Michael went on as if he was an expert on the matter.
