Gillian picked up one of the newspapers on the table and almost immediately dropped it again. "Oh, God. Do you really need to bring that trash into the house?"

"Sorry," Riley said. She looked up from the article she had been reading and moved the paper Gillian had dropped. "Know thy enemy. I'm only reading up on her because Priest is positive she's my opposite number. The demons are using her to pull the town deeper into No Man's Land."

Gillian was still in her robe, her hair up following her shower. When she sat, the material draped and Riley was treated to an alluring peek at the curve of her left breast. She closed the paper so that Gail's article wasn't visible.

"I worry that you're poisoning your brain with this crap." She picked up a paper and flipped it open. "I can't even listen to her radio show for five minutes without wanting to punch her in the damn mouth."

"There's a fight I'd pay to see," Riley said. "I'm still trying to figure out how complicit she is in the whole mess. Is she saying these things because someone pushed her in the right direction, or was she already like this and the demons just latched onto her for their own purposes?"

"Does it matter?"

"If she's a puppet, there's a chance she can be saved."

Gillian nodded and flipped her paper to another page. "Ah, Garfield. Never controversial."

Riley smiled and pushed her hair out of her face as she read the rest of Gail's latest article. She reported on news stories, but she also had a small editorial space on the back page where she could rant to her heart's content under the freedom of the press banner. Riley didn't know why the paper wasted the space; her articles were full of backhanded comments and jabs at the police department. The department had sued on more than one occasion, but the cases only seemed to make her stronger and more popular.

Riley leaned back in her chair and rubbed her eyes. "Maybe you're right. Maybe I need a break."

Gillian put down her paper and stood up. She walked behind Riley's chair and began to massage her shoulders. "Maybe I could go make you a nice bubble bath. You could soak and I'll rub your feet. And higher, maybe." She bent down and kissed the top of Riley's head.

Riley turned her head and kissed Gillian's arm. "You know how amazing that sounds."

"But you need to research some more," Gillian said. There was no reproach in her voice. She knelt down and kissed Riley's neck and cheek. "All right. I'm going to bed. I'll see you in there in half an hour or I'm coming to find you."

"I'll be in soon, promise." She turned her head and kissed Gillian's lips. Gillian gave Riley's shoulders another squeeze before she walked away. Riley watched her go down the hall to the bedroom, already lamenting the loss of her combined bath and massage. But as appealing as it sounded, she couldn't just ignore Gail Finney.
