Chapter Fourteen
Donovan watched the screen for a moment until her heard the door close then he looked up to see Lister Crowe and the demon leave the apartment. The camera had not been difficult to hide as Donovan had some practice at it. He had been a detective after all and there had been times when just such things needed to be done.
They looked like a young father and daughter out for a walk as he was sure was their intention. He had come to the obvious conclusion this Lister Crowe was no nefarious villain and was in no way trying to use dark magic. The revelation had made him feel a bit more at ease about the situation but he was still waiting for a sign of his enemy. Alton was dangerous and if he was here then things could become complicated pretty quick.
He lost sight of them as they walked down the street and they became obscured by the houses. Donovan knew this neighborhood very well now for he had taken more than enough time to learn every alleyway and backyard. The neighborhood was quiet during the day but it did become more active at night. More than once in the two days Donovan had been staking out Lister's apartment he witnessed drug deals and sex workers plying their trade. When he had been on the force it would have been his concern but now, he was a private citizen going about the business of his new employers.
He put the car in gear and made for an adjacent street. In the light of day the possibility of him being made was greatly increased but the implication of what he had seen was too great to let them out of his sight for too long. Donovan knew they were unknowingly in over their heads and had no clue what their workings could bring upon them. The Cabal would stop at nothing to get their hands on such technology and Donovan knew Alton would take a personal interest in such a device.
He kept an eye on them from between houses in the residential/industrial neighborhood. They walked as though nothing were out of the ordinary. It was just a mad scientist and a demon he had summoned out for a walk on a chilly spring day. What could be odd about that?
They turned a corner and headed away from him. He stopped and did not follow. The vehicle he was in was not of the inconspicuous type so he made sure to keep his distance. They had only gone three blocks from the apartment when they went inside the electronics shop Donovan had scoped out. It was one of many run down shops within walking distance.
Donovan waited down the block not worried about losing his prey. They did not even seem to suspect his presence so they had no reason to try to go unseen. On the street were the nomads of the urban jungle wandering on their personal missions.
His phone buzzed for he never had his ringer on.
