Anyone know a good exterminator?"

No sooner had those words left

her lips than Jared, looking much better than he had last time they'd met, appeared beside Stryker. Dressed in a black leather jacket, black button down shirt, and black jeans, Jared's eyes were covered with a pair of opaque sunglasses. His auburn hair had been pulled back into a sleek ponytail.

The Sephiroth glanced around

with a frown. "Looks like I missed a party. Good. I wasn't really in the mood to off demons this evening. Haven't had my coffee yet."

Savitar grimaced. "You

drink coffee?"

His face was stoic. "No,

but it was my pathetic attempt at humor."

"What are you doing

here?" Apollymi asked him. It was obvious from her tone that she didn't appreciate an uninvited creature popping into her domain.

"I was ordered to protect

him." He jerked his chin toward Stryker.

Apollymi folded her arms over

her chest. "Well, I asked for an exterminator and look who appears. Want to take out War for us?"

"I can't."

She looked less than pleased

by his response. "Why not?"

"Primal Source,"

Savitar said drily. "Jared was created to protect those powers. No one can make him kill them."

Jared nodded. "Exactly.

Not even my owner can command that."

Apollymi frowned. "I

don't understand. You can kill the Malachai. Weren't they born of the same powers?"

Jared sighed. "The

Malachai declared enmity on the Source, thereby severing those ties. Because they threatened the Source, the Sepherii were able to attack and kill them.

Until War makes a like threat against the primal powers, I can't touch him."

One corner of Savitar's mouth

quirked up. "Well, don't you suck?"

Jared's features softened.

"Oh, believe me, I couldn't agree more. Just be grateful it's not contagious."

Stryker ignored them as he

considered what he'd inadvertently set into motion by wanting revenge. How simple it'd all seemed. War killed Ash and Nick, then him. Now there was a lot more going on here. "We have to find some way to contain War."

Savitar gave him a droll

glare. "You're the one who unleashed him."

"Yeah, well, let's move

on from the blame game. I was having suicidal thoughts and it seemed like a good idea at the time. In retrospect, not so much."

"Most major mistakes

do," Apollymi said quietly. "Not many people carry out thoughts they know going into it are stupid . . . morons not included."

Savitar laughed. "Then

that leaves you out, huh, Stryker."

He glared at Savitar.

"For the record, we're not friends."

"For the record, I don't

care."

"Enough, children,"

Apollymi said between clenched teeth. "In case you haven't noticed, we have a major situation playing out. We have to find and stop War, corral the gallu, protect Apostolos, and get Savitar out of here."

"Why the latter?"

Jared asked.

"Because I hate his

guts."

Savitar shook his head.

"I hate you, too, precious."

She sneered at him. "Put

on some real clothes. What is that you're wearing and does it come in adult sizes?"

He looked highly offended by

her attack on his wardrobe. "Cargo pants and a Hawaiian shirt are real clothes."

"Not in my realm they're

not, and button that shirt."

"Hey!" he snapped as

the shirt closed itself. "You know there are women who would pay to see me naked."

"I'm sure there are women

you pay to see you naked.
