CHAPTER FOURTEEN

Michael

Michael and Deziree stood on the Ponte delgi Scalzi looking out over the Grand Canal. The sound of the water flowing below was peaceful. Boats traveled the canal in their usual fashion, gliding through the water, which glowed amber in the lamplight. If it weren't for the reason behind their visit to the bridge, it could have been a romantic moment for them. He took Deziree's hand, entwining his fingers with hers. “When this is all over, we'll definitely have to take our vacation.”

She nodded. "I'll be holding you to that.” They shared a lingering kiss. So often, lately, someone would pull them away from each other. This time it was Kade, clearing his throat to break into their interlude.

“Sorry to interrupt you two lovebirds,” Kade said with a wry smile.

“Hey, thanks for coming,” Michael said, reaching a hand out and pulling his old friend into a brief hug.

“Never a problem, you know that,” Kade replied, stepping back. “Deziree." He leaned in and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. “You know, we don't need to travel all the way to Italy for the three of us catch up. I do live right on the other side of Manhattan.”

“I know,” Michael responded apologetically. “Lately, we haven't gotten together nearly as often as I’d like. When this is all over, you'll have to come by Onyx for a drink with us.”

“Yes,” Dez added with a smile. “Maybe we will shut the place down for a night and throw a big private party.” With a wink, she added, “I know the owner, so I bet I could make it happen.”

“Okay,” Kade said with a grin, “it's a plan then. In the meantime, what can I help you with? When you called and asked to meet alone, I was under the assumption that meant something was wrong.”

Michael peered around to make sure they were safe to speak where they were. When he was sure the coast was clear, he looked at Kade and asked, “You trust your people, right?”

“Of course, with my life,” Kade responded simply. “Why do you ask?”

“We need a favor and it is going to require some manpower,” Dez replied. “We need to know we can trust everyone involved.”

“What's this about?” Kade leaned back on the bridge, relaxing his weight against the stone.

“The demon attack,” Michael explained. “We have reason to believe that someone inside the covens summoned that demon. It’s the only possible way the damned thing could have made it onto this plane. We have a few leads we need to go investigate. That's where you come in. If we give you a few addresses, can you place men there to guard the properties until we arrive?”

“Absolutely,” Kade replied without hesitation. “Where am I sending them?”

“One address is right in New York,” Dez explained as she handed him a piece of paper with the addresses written on it. “It's a fifth floor walk-up in the West Village. The second address is in Savannah, Georgia, in the Victorian district.
