Chapter Eighteen

Wearing one of Andrew’s shirts, Emily paced in the room with her cell in hand. He hadn’t responded to her last message she’d sent. Her concern developed after he’d told her the demon was at the restaurant. Since she hadn’t been with him while he’d followed Deon around town, she had no way of knowing how close he’d come to the demon. The man was a cop and possibly a murderer, which made him very cunning and dangerous. He could’ve noticed Andrew tailing him, or at least the maroon sedan. And if Deon had… Anything was possible and trouble would ensue.

She checked the time. The iPhone Matt had given Andrew to use while they were security guards showed another minute had passed. She preferred using it as opposed to the prepaid ones she still had since it had more functionality, but soon she’d have to give the phone up.

Frustration and worry chiseled away at her while she strode back and forth in front of the television. Where the hell was Andrew? Why hadn’t he replied to her text? He should’ve let her know when he was on his way back.

Pausing near the door, she sent him a new message. Where are you?

She continued pacing. Maybe she was overreacting or a bit paranoid, but they’d been through a lot together to destroy demons. One who had been a nurse had almost killed her by giving her a bottle of water laced with poison. And the last demon had been selling young women as sex slaves. Emily had almost been one. Demons were evil and sneaky. She couldn’t bear to think about something happening to Andrew. Now she understood how he felt when she’d left him to get on the boat in San Diego to help save the four young women.

The phone in her hand came alive with a vibration and ring tone. Startled, Emily flinched. She assumed Andrew was responding her to the message she’d sent, so she didn’t check the screen for the name of the caller. In a rush, she tapped the screen and lifted it to her ear. “Are you okay?”

“That wasn’t exactly the greeting I’d expected to hear,” Matt said.

Emily sat in a chair by the table. Disappointment coursed through her and she felt like a tire deflating. She sighed heavily. “Hi Matt.” The two words came out sounding grim.

“Clearly, something is going on. Care to update me? Did you find him?”

“I found him.”

“Is he okay? Please tell me you didn’t beat him to a pulp.”

“No-no, I didn’t have the strength to do that. I punched him in the face, but that was it. And it wasn’t even a hard hit. I tore a few stitches.”

“Ouch.”

“Yeah, so he’s fine. Well…” She drew in a deep breath. “I think so.”

“What does that mean?”

“The demon we’re after is a cop. Andrew said he’s followed him a few times. He went to get some Chinese food and sent me a message the demon was there with his family. I
