“He did what?” Rogan bellows, his rage bouncing around the narrow street and causing other pedestrians to look over or scamper away.

I look around, slightly embarrassed, and hold my hands up to Rogan, indicating that he can be pissed but maybe let’s not announce it to the fine residents of Fenella Street, Glasgow.

Fury floats in his green gaze, but he quiets as he tightens his hold around my shoulders. He hasn’t stopped occupying every inch of my space since Muda popped us back into his house and then promptly kicked all of us out when the guys tried to attack him. I don’t blame them though; that demon really could use a lesson or two in manners.

“I told him no, and he didn’t bring it up again, so it’s probably fine,” I tell Rogan and the others, but Rogan’s eyes narrow on me, and if I had to guess, it’s because he just felt the trickle of trepidation that I was trying really damn hard to hide from him.

“I thought I knew about demons and what to expect, but I’m starting to think that we have no idea what we’re involved in right now,” Marx confesses, and I sigh, wishing I didn’t agree with every word he just spoke.

“The crux of my demonic education was to stay the fuck away from them. I’ve never even heard of the Accords,” Elon adds.

“I’ve heard of them,” Prek declares. “I’m sure only because it was part of my first case with the Order, but when I tried to pull up any information on what was in them, I could never find anything other than a file of fully redacted text. I pulled Muda’s information from an Order sergeant’s personal notes. They were scanned into the system from a notebook he kept. They were barely legible, but after staring at them—and a ton of other random documents—trying to piece together information, I saw the name and address sort of just pop out at me.”

“You could have warned us,” Rogan snaps at Prek reprovingly, and I stiffen.

“If I had any idea that there was anything to warn you about, I would have,” Prek barks back, clearly frustrated with all the blame coming his way. “I had no idea the guy was half demon. The title Linker was written next to his name, but I never found any information in the Order’s databases explaining what that meant. The sergeant who wrote the notes is dead. I thought Muda was simply a knowledgeable mancer, not a High Demon Ambassador.”

“It’s fine,” I cut in when Elon opens his mouth probably to argue some more. “It was an honest mistake. Marx is right, none of us have any idea what we’re dealing with, and I think it’s safe to say that’s on purpose. Either way, my complaint is filed. Dyad determined it was valid, and hopefully that means one less threat breathing down our necks.”

Mumbles of agreement sound off around me, and we grow quiet as we walk steadily toward the loading docks of Tesco and the ley line that will whisk us far away from here.
