Bakery bites

I leaped onto the table. “Why suspend Finn? He’s an excellent angel. The most effective I’ve ever dealt with, and I’ve been around plenty of angels over the years. Their skills usually linger on the wrong side of competent.”

Cythera pursed her lips. “Finn was reported for using his demon power while on duty. He knows that’s forbidden. It’s in his employment contract. I really must go. Lateness is a sign of disrespect.” She strode out of the interview room.

We were hot on her heels.

“Maybe Finn had no choice but to use his demon power,” I said. “Cannibal Bill was a hideously unpleasant person to deal with. And he shot Finn with a crossbow bolt. He had a right to be angry.”

“Did you witness the use of his demon power?” Cythera continued walking.

“We did. He had a tiny lapse in judgment because of being wounded. It could happen to anyone. Even you.”

“Impossible. All my angels are vulnerable to being injured while in the line of duty, yet you don’t see them unfairly using their powers to get the upper hand.” Cythera paused to gather some paperwork.

I jumped on top of the paperwork and pressed down with my paws. “Let’s see what you do when you’ve got a crossbow bolt lodged in your shoulder and a cannibal wanting to take a bite out of you and add your butchered remains to his cold store.”

Cythera shot me a glare as she yanked the papers free. “I’m aware of what I’d do. I’d keep control and apprehend my attacker.”

“Cannibal Bill took us by surprise,” Zandra said. “How was Finn to know he wouldn’t keep firing bolts at us? Or attack me and Juno? Finn was doing his job by defending us.”

“And all the trapped creatures Cannibal Bill had in his shed. That shows he’s unstable. Anyone who does that to poor, innocent fluffies...” I shuddered.

“Then Finn should have used his angel ability. Cannibal Bill reported an entire shed and its valuable contents were destroyed.”

“Carcasses! The shed was full of illegally hunted animals,” I said.

Cythera grimaced as she tucked away her papers and headed to the door. “Be that as it may, Cannibal Bill has been nothing but cooperative while in our care.”

“You mean, he gave you information in exchange for getting away with being a disgusting brute?” Zandra said.

Cythera wheeled on Zandra and loomed over her, her wings fluttering. “The criminal world is immersed in shadows. Sometimes, we step into the gloom to ensure righteousness is achieved.”

“Simply put, you’re letting one criminal go to catch another,” I said. “How is that fair? If you’d seen all the bodies in that shed and the ones in the cages awaiting the same fate, you’d feel differently.”

Cythera huffed out a breath. “I understand how close to home this would have hit for you. You could easily have found yourself inside one of Cannibal Bill’s cages.”

“That would never happen,” I growled out. “If he’d come at me, I’d have torn his head from his body and
