Nothing's teeth clacked together when Twig hauled him up, and he tasted blood again. The taste reminded him of the potion in the wine bottle, the feast of Laine's blood they had shared. More than anything he wanted to be back in the van, singing, drinking, on his way to New Orleans. Going away from here. Something had gone terribly wrong.

At least Zillah wasn't dead, though he looked as if he ought to be. He had taken a baseball bat in the face without going down, and Nothing thought he could have taken the blow against the wall too, though it had been hard enough to break someone's neck. But the two blows so close upon each other had stunned him. Maybe Molochai's blood would bring him around. If it did, Nothing didn't know what Zillah would do to him, or to Steve and Ghost. He had to get them out of here before Zillah came all the way back.

He reached up, grasped Twig's hands, and removed them from the lapels of his coat. "You want to waste time fucking with me?" he asked. "Zillah didn't tell you to fuck with me. And he's hurt bad."

"Because of you," Twig growled.

Nothing could feel Twig's hands trembling in his grasp, aching to go for his throat. He knew Twig could kill him in a heartbeat. 'Then save me for him. Let him punish me for getting him hurt. He'll be pissed if he comes round and you've already sucked me dry, won't he?"

Now Nothing was sure Twig wanted to rip his throat open. Molochai would do it if Twig did. They would kill him and then tear into Steve and Ghost. Nothing met Twig's eyes and held them. Twig was wilder and meaner, oh yes; Twig was the badass here.

But Nothing was smarter.

"Zillah's lying there bleeding," he said. "If you won't help me, I'll carry him out myself. But he'll know what happened."

He jerked away from Twig and tensed, ready to fight if Twig lunged at him.

Twig's eyes blazed feral light.

Nothing blazed right back at him.

And Twig's eyes dropped.
