Fritz stepped out the front door and found himself face-to-face with his would-be rescuers.

Cèsar clutched OPA-made magic ribbons in both hands, looking at everything and nothing with hollow eyes. Isobel’s shirt had been torn across the breasts to expose her bra, and ichor smeared across her midriff and thighs. Suzy looked mostly normal. She was reloading her gun and keeping her bruised eyes on their surroundings.

“What are you three doing here?” Fritz asked. It was an odd combination of people. He’d have expected to see Cèsar with either Suzy or Isobel, but not both.

“We’re saving you.” Cèsar staggered up the steps to inspect his kopis. “Are you alive?”

“For now,” Fritz said.

Isobel shoved Cèsar aside to lunge at her husband. “Baby!”

For a moment, Fritz got to enjoy the feeling of his wife in his arms—his Hope, his Emmeline, his Belle. She didn’t feel dead against his heart. She felt as alive as she’d been the first time they married.

Then he remembered turning the House of Belial over to Proserpine, and the power of his guilt drove away all feelings of satisfaction.

Suzy leaned around them to look at the carnage inside the house. “Holy fuck. Did you do that?”

Fritz drew in a long, slow breath, and then he let it out just as slowly. He no longer had the urge to flip tables, shoot incubi, slit his wrists.

“Yes,” Fritz said. “I did that.”

It was a lie, of course.

The House of Belial had done that. Fritz was, as always, just along for the ride.
