Chapter 10

David insisted that Frank and Ennis stay at the farm. It was the safest place for both men, considering Moloch’s kidnapping of Ray. He was met with vehement resistance. Ennis gave in after I offered him my iPad. Even without the internet, the tablet might be useful since I had various translation and research apps on it. Frank was not as easily dissuaded. I thought we were going to have to tie him to a chair to keep him from leading the charge to rescue Ray.

Luckily, David was able to put them to work doing what they did best. Research. After he got them settled into the basement with a Latin-to-English dictionary and the copied pages from the Shedim, we had a private meeting, just the two of us, in the upstairs bedroom while David dressed.

I watched David pull a white tee-shirt over his head, and damn, it was almost as sexy as watching him take it off. That man looked good in and out of clothing. I scratched at the ponytail I’d put in my hair and tried to keep my mind off his hot body and on our immediate problem. “You know the minute I leave this property, Moloch is going to track me. It has to be driving him nuts that he can’t get to me here.”

“Moloch can suck it,” muttered David. He looked at me. “You still have paranormal informants out there? Anyone who might know what level of shit we’re facing?” He tucked the shirt into his jeans then sat down to put on socks.

“I can make some calls once we get into cellular range, but, honestly, I think Moloch will show his cards the moment I’m back on his radar. He’s like a giant toddler who hates his toy, but he doesn’t want anyone else playing with it.”

“Are you the toy in this scenario?” David slipped on his boots. Anger edged his voice as he added, “You’re not his goddamned possession.”

Oh, but I was, I thought morosely. I would make sure that even if I couldn’t get free of Moloch, no one else I loved would become Moloch’s possession. “All I’m saying is that Moloch can throw an epic tantrum when he feels like I’m getting a little too big for my britches.” I waved my hand in a never mind gesture. “Let’s worry about finding Ray.”

“The man is already dying,” said David, “and now he’s the kidnap victim of a demon lord.”

I walked to David and slipped my arms around his waist. He reciprocated the gesture and held me tight. “I’m sorry.” I felt like I was constantly apologizing, but frankly, I had a lot to apologize for. “I bet you wish you hadn’t met me.”

“Never,” he said fiercely. He hugged me even tighter.

I didn’t want to let David go, not now, not ever. But we had a friend to rescue. I tilted my chin up to look at him. “So which hospital does Ray get his treatments?”

“The St. Louis University Hospital.”

Memory flickered.
