CHAPTER SEVEN

“You’re shitting me, right?” Ivy said. “Didn’t we just ditch her?”

“We did,” Levi said, “But that doesn’t mean she isn’t our best shot at finding Cerberus.”

“How do we even know Delilah is still alive? We left her with a backpack full of demon blood at a hotel a few nights ago. For all we know she’s left London, or she failed at getting the demon off her back, and now she’s dead.”

“And if she isn’t dead, then she can help us find Cerberus. She may be the only one who can at this point.”

“I’m gonna have to agree with Ivy,” I said, “Even if she were alive, how is Delilah going to help? More importantly, will she even want to?”

“Delilah is a shifty character, which means she knows shifty people. Maybe she has connections—she was able to flog the book off at an auction, wasn’t she? Which means she at least knows Someone there. Maybe an assistant, or some link to Cerberus.”

“And you really think she’d put us in touch someone?” Ivy asked.

“She isn’t going to put us in touch anyone—she’s going to go herself and get the information we want.”

I shook my head. “I’m really not so sure about this…”

“Doesn’t look like we have much of a choice, though, do we?” Tank said, “It’s a bit of a shit situation, I don’t see another way around it.”

I turned to Ivy. “Did you get any leads when you went hunting for Cerberus?”

“Honestly? No,” she said, “But we were only out there for an hour, at the most, before you reached out. There wasn’t enough time for anything.”

“So, we’re shit out of leads, and fresh out of choices, but Delilah… that’s still scraping the bottom of a barrel filled with razorblades. You have to understand that, right, Levi?”

He nodded. “I do. I wish I had a better idea, but I don’t.”

A pause. “Do you even know how to find her?” I asked.

He pulled his phone out of his pocket. “Unless she’s changed her number in the few days since we last saw her, it should still be the same one I’ve got programmed into my phone.”

“Don’t do that,” Morpheus said, stretching his hand as if he were reaching for Levi’s phone.

Levi looked at him, head tilted. “Why not?”

“In fact, all of you give me your phones.”

“What?” I asked, “Why?”

“I’ve never dealt with a Technomancer before, but if I’ve learned one thing from this one it’s this; there may be no limit to what system they can reach.”

“What does that mean?”

“It means he, she, or it could also have the power to affect our phones, so we shouldn’t use them. In fact, we should turn them off right now.”

He fished for his phone and turned it off in front of us.

“Morph, that’s a bit extreme, isn’t it?” I asked, “How are we going to keep in touch?”

“I don’t know, but if we use our phones there’s every chance their Technomancer is going to be able to surveil us and keep tabs on what we’re doing.
