Damian materialized on one of the quieter streets in Old Town. This time of night, everyone with half a brain remained cooped up in their homes. Across the street, an old Chinese restaurant, The Red Dragon, had a flickering light in its sign. The “R” seemed to tremble as if it feared the dangerous beings that roamed the streets after the sun set.

The crash of a dumpster echoed into the night, followed by a muffled groan. He’d found Grayson.

Damian raced across the street and toward the nearby alley. He turned on the camouflage, taking on the red-brick hue of the surrounding buildings. The smell of rancid food, sweat, and the distinct metallic odor of fae drifted into his nose.

The muscles in his body tensed. He slid his gloved hand over the dagger at his waist, unclipped the blade, and palmed his trusty weapon. Senses on high alert, he slipped into the alley on a whisper.

“Hey! You sliced off one of my curls.” Grayson’s familiar voice echoed over the clash of metal against metal. “That’s so not right.”

At the far end of the alley, Grayson fought two fae. He held the one wearing a Cubs hat at bay with his long bayonet. The other, dressed in an old Led Zeppelin shirt, jumped on top of a dumpster. A war cry erupted from the fae, and he bared his teeth.

Damian sped down the alley.

The Led Zeppelin fae launched himself at Grayson. His sharp claws glinted in the streetlamp’s glow.

Damian caught the fae around the waist and tackled him to the ground. Dirt, rocks, and bits of broken glass scraped Damian’s exposed arms. His skin burned at the site, but he relished the bitter sting. Pain focused his mind as it always had.

He hardened his fist to stone and pounded the fae in the ribs. The snap of bone and a loud cry were his reward.

“Glad you decided to join the fun.” Grayson laughed. “Wouldn’t want you to miss out.”

Damian released his camouflage and wrapped his hand around the fae’s neck. “Looks like you needed the help.”

The fae hissed and struggled beneath him.

“What? I’ve fought worse odds. These two are a piece of cake.” Grayson tossed his fae into a dumpster. The crash reverberated off the buildings and into the night. “Let’s pierce their bloody eyeballs then meet up with Drake. There’s a nest of fae after the homeless under the Kennedy Expressway.”

Damian’s gut tightened. Kill the fae? Hardly. He wanted to maim the creature so it would return to the Otherworld and take him with it. There was no way he’d tell Grayson that, though. The guy would think him suicidal. Hell, maybe he was.

Instead, he bluffed. “When I’m done, I’ll come help you with yours.”

“We’ll see who finishes first.” Grayson chuckled and jogged toward the dumpster with his enemy.

The fae bucked beneath him. Clearly, the guy wasn’t on board with this idea. Death would come for him, but not quite yet.

Damian tightened his grip on his dagger and plunged the tip into the fae’s thigh.
