What do you know about computers, Padre?”

While I had a tech genius waiting for me back at DSI headquarters, I couldn’t entrust this particular assignment to her.

“I’m not entirely incapable,” Father Lance told me with a smile. He opened his desk drawer and pulled out a slim laptop, lifting the lid and turning it on. While we waited for it to load, he glanced at me. “Care to tell me what we’re doing?”

With a grunt, I dropped into the chair set in front of his desk. “My good deed for the next millennium.”

“Somehow, I find that hard to believe, Frank.”

“Even Satan did good things now and again,” I argued. “Eve was a twig back in the day. Lucifer convincing her to eat that apple was just his way of looking out for her. She might have starved without him. Chick needed some meat on her bones.”

Lance chuckled at my blasphemy—one of the reasons I liked the guy—and turned the laptop around before moving his chair over so we could both see the screen. “Interesting interpretation of Eve’s plight aside, what do you want me to do here?”

“Go to this site.” I used Lucifer’s memory to rattle off the address of the DSI server Maximus had provided after our last chat. Rotating, black and white images appeared on the screen, segmented into five sections.

Lance’s eyes narrowed as he stared at the screen. “As willing as I am to accept your oddities, Frank, I have to admit to lacking your interest in being a voyeur.”

“Prison sexploitation flicks are the best, buddy. You’re missing out,” I told him. “That said, this is more than me entertaining my inner perv.” I tapped one of the images and it filled the screen. And there, before us, the DSI prison that held the families of the team appeared in high res, the camera slowly panning across the cell block.

“What is this?” Lance leaned in to take a closer look, squinting at the laptop.

“One of Maximus’s supernatural prisons that escaped the recent onslaughts. Unlike the others, safeguarding legitimate supernatural threats to the world, this one is tasked with holding fleshy leverage on his agents; their families and loved ones.”

Lance turned his gaze on me, storms brewing in his eyes. “What do you intend to do?”

“I’m plotting a breakout,” I said, a chuckle spilling out. “That is, if I can pull off the shit I’m planning.” Waving off his question as to what I intended, I turned the laptop so it was facing me and stared at the remote image of the prison, studying it.

Rather than pay attention to the guard who sat reading a porn mag and rubbing himself through his slacks, or on the prisoners going about their daily routines inside their cells, I focused on the main corridor between the cages, getting a sense of it, running the memories of the other prisons I’d gone inside to better get a feel for how the place smelled and looked, familiarizing myself with it. Once I felt confident I had it, the image steady in my head, I let my magic well up.
