CHAPTER SIXTEEN

“Good grief, my place is starting to feel as busy as The Strip,” I quipped at the man standing in my doorway the next morning. “What can I do for you, Mark?”

“May I come in?”

“I don’t think that’s a good idea.”

If it was possible, his black eyes darkened. “I saw your interview.”

“And?”

“Seems risky to throw me under the bus like that.”

“Pun intended?”

He flashed a wicked grin. “Why would you do that?”

“All’s fair in love and war.”

“We’re at war?”

“We’re not in love.”

“Not yet.”

I belly laughed. “Are you trying to seduce me?”

His smile turned enigmatic. “This is a conversation better had away from prying eyes and ears.”

I leaned out past him and looked in the direction of my neighbors’ homes. “I doubt anybody cares one way or the other.” I sighed. “Fine, come on in.”

Seated once again on my couch, entertaining a visitor, I waited for him to state his purpose. We stared at each other, and a strong sense of déjà vu rocked me. What was it with all these folks and their meaningful glances? “What do you want?”

“To win the election.”

“Why?”

“Why, what?”

“Why do you want to win this election? Why Las Vegas? Why now? You’ve been around over 2000 years. If you want power, there are larger regions.”

A look of consternation flashed across his face. “Someone’s done their research.”

“Mm-hmm.” No reason to tell him Olivia told me that little tidbit.

“I don’t want so much power that I draw unwanted attention,” he answered.

“That’s it?”

“What’s your plan?” he asked instead.

I cocked an eyebrow at him. “To win the election.”

“Touché.” He laughed. “That’s all?”

“What else is there?”

“What about seeing me punished for what I did?”

Mia’s visit and entreaty to rejoin them flitted through my mind. “You mean my throwing you under the bus, as you so quaintly put it?”

“Yes.” His smile dropped.

“I don’t care about any of that,” I lied.

“Really?”

“I said what I needed to in order to knock you down a few pegs in the polls. With only two days left before the election, I’m giving the citizens something negative about you.” I shrugged. “That’s all.”

Now Mark quirked an eyebrow. “That’s all? Why don’t I believe that?”

“Because you’re not a very trusting demon?”

He chuckled. “Listen, Barbara. I don’t know what the group—”

“Group?”

He waved his hand dismissively. “The ones connected to that talent agency.” He looked baffled by the idea of an investigative talent agency and I snorted.

“They’re more effective than you might think,” I mumbled.

“Anyway, I don’t know what they’ve told you. But they lied.”

“If you don’t know what they’ve told me, then how do you know they lied?” I thought my question was rather obvious. Still, Mark’s face darkened.

“I can imagine what they’ve said.”

“And you’re here, why? To correct the misinformation?”

“They probably told you that Olivia could take care of me, right?” His triumphant smirk told me my shock showed on my face. “They did.”

I nodded.

“They’re lying.”

“They are?”

“Did they tell you who – or rather, what – Olivia is?”

Curiosity got the better of me. “No, they didn’t, actually. I presume you know?”

“She’s an archangel.
