Cabeza barely made it to Talon’s before the sky unleashed a furious blood-

red downpour. Thunder clapped so hard it shook the house, while lightning

flashed again and again.

“You all right?” Talon asked as Cabeza took body inventory to make sure

he hadn’t been singed by anything. Or that Chacu hadn’t ripped something off

while he wasn’t paying attention.

“Si. Yeah.” Cabeza turned to find Talon’s wife Sunshine on the black

leather couch next to Acheron Parthenopaeus, who was holding her infant son.

He did a double take on Ash’s short black hair as a sick feeling went through

him. “Madre de Dios … it is a sign of the Apocalypse. What happened to your hair? Did someone scalp you?”

Never in all these centuries had he seen Acheron with short hair. No mat-

ter the fashion or time period, it’d always been down to the middle of his back.

Always.

“Relax,” Ash said with a hint of laughter in his voice. “Tory and I donated

our hair to Locks of Love on Bastian’s first birthday to show our appreciation

for having a healthy baby. It’ll grow back.”

Grow back?

Maybe, but this … this had evil written all over it.

“Hey,” Sunshine said to Cabeza with a wide grin. “You should have seen

it six months ago. It started out as a crew cut.”

Bug-eyed, Cabeza was momentarily speechless as he tried to imagine the

intrepid Dark-Hunter leader with a crew cut. “Out of all the shit I’ve seen in

the last two days, that is the only thing that truly frightens me. I think we just sped up the final countdown.”

Rolling his eyes at him, Acheron handed the baby back to its mother,

then stood. His long, black leather coat settled down around his dark red Doc

Martens. Though Acheron was the oldest of the Dark-Hunters by years, he

physically was their youngest. He’d only been twenty-one when he’d died.

And honestly, he looked more like a teenager until you saw his eyes. Only

they betrayed his ancient age.…

And his wisdom.

Rain came out from the rear of the house. He still had a black eye from

where Cabeza had rescued him in Las Vegas. “Any word on Teri?” he asked

Cabeza.

“It’s worse than we thought. They are in Xibalba.”

Acheron cursed. “No wonder I couldn’t find them with my powers.” He

glanced over to Rain to explain. “I can’t see into another pantheon’s hell realm without going to it physically.”

Talon let out a nervous laugh. “I try to avoid descending into hell realms

as much as possible.”

Ash scratched at the back of his neck as if that comment made him uncom-

fortable for some reason. “Out of curiosity, do you know what level they’re

in?”

“As far as I can tell, the first.”

Ash let out a relieved breath. “You think Ren knows better than to descend

past the fourth level?”

Cabeza thought it over. Ash was right, if Ren and the Ixkib descended be-

low the water level, there was no coming back. They would be in Xibalba

forever. “Since it’s Mayan, I wouldn’t count on it. He might not even know

where he is.”

“Well,” Talon said, “we can look on the bright side.”

This, Cabeza had to hear.
