Nineteen

By the time they got back from Yankee Stadium and dodged the Men in White posse which had caught sight of them outside Jed’s apartment, it was time to meet Dani and Theresa at Saving Grace to recruit angelic help. Jerome hadn’t called back yet, and there was no word from Zeke on the scientist. The deadline for Bandit’s vortex was fast approaching, plus Satan Jr. had called Jed six more times, each time promising it was his last. Paige had finally answered it the last time, and Junior had hung up without saying anything, like a little boy caught with his pants down.

He was becoming a joke between them, but his constant calls were an ugly reminder that time was running out for both of them, and so were options.

When Paige finally walked into the alley behind Saving Grace and saw Dani and Theresa, her eyes filled up and she almost threw herself at them. “You came! I was so worried you’d be too afraid of me to show up.”

“No way,” Dani said. “We’re here for you.”

“Amen to that, sister.” Theresa put her arm over Dani’s shoulder and beamed at Paige. “This is going to go great, I promise.”

Dani smiled with genuine warmth, though there was still a bit of wariness in her gaze. “I took care of Bandit. He cleaned up well. He’s hilarious.”

Paige grinned. “Isn’t he? Did you give him a last hurrah?”

“I was tempted after I got him cleaned up.”

“You were? Seriously? That’s great.” Maybe he’d really be presentable enough to convince Jerome of the truth of his words. If Jerome ever called back.

Theresa’s grin faded and she gave Paige an appraising look. “How are you doing, sweetie?”

“Great. Fine.” God. She felt such an aching sense of loss that she couldn’t hug her friends. Her calf was a steady pulse, but her inner wraith was quiet, digesting its meal of Yankee Stadium outfield grass. “Did Zeke find the scientist?”

Theresa shook her head. “No. Sorry. He’s still searching, but I think you stumped him.”

Paige bit her lip against the surge of panic. Without the scientist, her only chance was the angel. “So, I guess I have to do this, huh?” Jed stiffened against her, and she peeked up at him.

He gave her a grouchy look as Theresa handed Paige a Neiman Marcus bag. “It’ll be fine, Paige. Here. Put this on.”

Paige reluctantly released Jed to open it. She held up a lacy white dress that was both demure and sensual. “This will attract an angel? I was thinking of a nun’s outfit.”

“Men are men. You look like a woman, and they’ll come crawling.”

Jed took the dress from her and held it up. He scowled, then handed it back to her without another word.

“Well?” Theresa set her hands on her hips and looked at Jed. “You’d do her in that dress, wouldn’t you?”

“I’d do her in a nun’s outfit.” His face was dark, his voice darker, edged with a sensuality that made her insides curl.

Paige suddenly felt better.

“Oh.” Theresa’s eyes widened.
