My grin was predatory as I slipped into another pair of slightly loose jeans, followed by a comfy pair of sneakers. “Watch us.”

“Riss, you know how much I want to get Amaya—and Nessa—back, but I don’t think—”

“Stop thinking, Scott, and help me. One way or another, I want this finished. The sooner the better.”

“You were dying just a few minutes ago.”

“And now I’m perfectly fine.” I jumped up and down, waving my arms wildly. “See?” . -

He shook his head. “Gods, you are a stubborn bitch.”

My lips quirked. “Just the way you like ‘em.”

A matching grin spread across his face. “Maybe.”

I stretched to my full height and wiggled slightly. “Definitely.”

He made a visible effort not to watch my jiggling body parts, focusing on a spot just over my head instead. “Fine, then. Let me change into something more practical. Though I’m still not sure what that devious little mind of yours has planned.”

I wrapped my arms around myself, taking pleasure in the fact that he trusted me enough to follow where I led.

“Where else would a woman want to go after a near-death experience? Shopping!”

GRANTED, MY IDEA OF THE PERFECT SHOPping trip was a bit different from the average woman’s. Instead of searching for a bitching outfit or pair of shoes, I went hunting for commando gear and weapons. The arcane version.

Scott needn’t have worried about it being too late. In fact, the place we needed to go was open twenty-four/seven nearly every day of the year. Gunmetal Alley, where everyone went when they wanted the best of mundane weapons blended with the finest of arcane spells. Normally, I didn’t mess with hybrid weps, but there was an occasion for everything. Busting into a military outpost definitely qualified as one.

Ellie and Mac tagged along with us, eyes searching the dimly lit alley for any hint of trouble, I still hadn’t figured out exactly what Ellie’s Scottish hunk of a husband was. An absolute magician when it came to mundane technology, he nevertheless walked with the grace and assurance of an arcane being.

But the number of arcanes who truly excelled when it came to using mundane technology without magical modifications was exceedingly small. The only thing I could be sure of was that he wasn’t Sidhe.

“Why are you staring at Mac?” Scott’s voice tickled my ear.

I shivered and huddled deeper into my sweatshirt. “Just trying to figure out what he is.”

“What do you mean, what he is?”

My mouth opened to respond, but I closed it when we reached the outskirts of Gunmetal Alley. Two bouncers stood to each side of the makeshift entrance, arms folded across their massive chests and night-dark sunglasses obscuring their eyes. Those shades gave them both night vision and the ability to pick out anyone trying to sneak past them via magical means.

The bouncer to the right stepped into our path and raised a meaty hand. “Now, now, now, you know I can’t let you in here, sweetheart.”

I amped up my vision magically, squinting up at the eight-foot-tall man grinning down at me like a maniac.
