Chloe’s body collided with the office door, taking it down, and rolled back out into the waiting room.

Pestilence laughed. War cheered. Death looked annoyed. And Famine appeared mildly concerned.

Adjusting her short habit, Sister Theresa walked out after Chloe.

And before Jace could stop her, Erin followed, wrapping her arm around the nun’s throat and pulling her back.

If that had been it, both Jace and Kera would have stepped in to stop Erin. But two other sisters and two laywomen with tattoos and old scars jumped in. Jace still wanted to stop any of this from getting worse, but one of the laywomen pressed a switchblade against Kera’s neck.

That’s when Jace no longer cared if Erin burned the whole convent down and the Crows laughed in the ashes.

“Let Kera go or I will tear your heart out through your pussy!” Jace growled.

“Okay,” Erin said, immediately releasing Sister Theresa and putting her hands up. “I don’t know what Jace just said, because she didn’t say it in English.”

“It was Slovakian,” War interjected, “and it was rude.”

“But when she starts speaking in different languages,” Erin went on, “everyone needs to calm the fuck down.”

“She’s right,” Death said, grabbing a copy of House & Garden magazine from one of the end tables. “She’s about to put me to work, so maybe you babes should think about taking it down a notch. Because I’m not in the mood today to start grabbing souls that aren’t already on my list. Me and my brothers are going surfing tonight,” he added, as if that would mean anything to any of them.

Sister Theresa smoothed down the front of her plain white, button-down shirt and simple greenish-blue calf-length skirt. An ensemble that hid a woman who’d been a Chosen Warrior of God since she was fourteen. She’d been fighting demons, the warriors of other pantheons, and every form of pure evil known—and unknown—to man for decades.

And these ladies were even more secretive about their activities than the Crows. Only a select few of the Vatican priests even knew these warriors existed. The rest thought they were just nuns—there to serve God and them. According to the Mother Superior, that was for “men’s own good. You know they can’t handle too much. It’s best for everyone they lead their lives in ignorance.”

The switchblade was moved away from Kera’s throat and Jace’s rage disappeared.

She didn’t realize until that moment how protective she was of her new friend. She really liked Kera. Not just as a sister-Crow, not just as a team member. But as an actual girlfriend. Something Jace had never had before. Of course, maybe she should have realized all that when she didn’t mind Kera coming by her room just to chat. It didn’t annoy Jace like when the others tried to do the same thing. Then again, Kera’s chit-chat was never small talk either. The woman did love to discuss big issues of the day.

Erin helped Chloe back to her feet.

“You’re psychotic,” Chloe accused Sister Theresa.

“And you’re an idiot.
