Chapter 48

The Three Angry Wives pub was a welcoming reprieve from the events of the last few days. Drowning my memories in glasses of bourbon wouldn’t take it all away, but it’d at least provide a bit of a vacation. What I needed was sleep, and I’d get it…later.

Right now I was dealing with the fact that Rachel was currently rolling in the hay with a couple of incubuses. I frowned. Maybe the term was “incubi?” Either way, I didn’t like it. I don’t think I was jealous…or maybe I was? Shit, I don’t know. I just didn’t like it.

I groaned and drained the contents of my glass.

“Glad to see you again,” said the voice of a familiar man. It was Gabe. “Mind if I join you?”

“It’s a free country,” I replied, motioning for him to sit.

He took the seat on the other side of the table. Tonight he had on a charcoal gray suit with a black shirt and gray tie. The guy knew how to dress.

“Nice suit.”

“Thank you.”

“Your Flashes thing worked,” I said while signaling the waiter to bring me another glass full. “Sort of.”

Gabe didn’t say anything. He merely looked at me questioningly.

“First off, I didn’t even know it was a thing until I bumped into Shitfaced Fred and it launched itself. Made me wobbly as hell.”

“Yes, that’s how these things work, I’m afraid,” he said almost apologetically. “They reveal themselves as needed and you learn to control them.”

I found it interesting that he didn’t flinch at or question the name I’d given the necromancer. Did he know the guy? If so, he’d have to have known him well enough to be familiar with the nickname.

“Did you know Fred?”

He nodded. “When we were younger.”

I studied Gabe again. He had the look of a man in the middle years. Fit, yes, but mature. That didn’t mean anything, though. Griff and Serena were both hundreds of years old, but nobody who didn’t know their personnel files would have any clue about that.

Obviously Gabe wasn’t going to provide any more details.

I grunted. “Anyway, you said last time that you were around to help me or something like that.”

“Yes.”

“Aside from dumping magic words on me that cause weirdness to happen while making me fuzzy and unbalanced,” I said holding up my glass, “what can you do for me?”

“There is a path that must be followed, Mr. Dex,” he answered, “and I’m going to lead you down it.”

“Can’t we just skip to the end of the path?” I asked as the effects of the alcohol began taking hold. “I’m a pretty resilient guy, you know?”

“Unfortunately, no. Dumping everything on you at once would kill you, regardless of how tough you are.” His eyes met mine. “You’re needed here, Mr. Dex. There are more of these ubernaturals coming and you must stand against them. Nobody else can.”

I didn’t know if that last bit was true. My team had done a pretty bang up job of fighting these last two sets. Yeah, I had
