Chapter 14

Something in his gut felt wrong. Like he had worms or had drunk too much Jägermeister. Only that couldn’t be; alcohol no longer had an effect on him, and why worms would want to gnaw at demon flesh, he wasn’t sure.

Then Marc saw Jerry glaring, and the gurgle in his gullet made sense.

“You don’t look very happy to see me, brother.” Marc uttered the word like a curse.

Jerry winced, but didn’t lose one ounce of conviction in his voice. “Don’t think that changes anything between us, just because Azazel finally strapped on his balls and fessed up.”

“Naturally.”

The room looked like something out of his youth; old and archaic bones, scattered with worn and torn furniture clinging to life support. South Boston chic, his mother had been fond of saying. Not that Marc really cared about the furnishings. And although he honestly didn’t show up here out of any desire to see Riona, he suddenly found himself canvassing the room in his search for the redhead.

“She’s upstairs, guarded by both Dee and Ramiel, so don’t get any ideas,” Jerry said, as if reading his mind. “Just because I’m the one who thought you should come in doesn’t mean I trust you. I thought you and I should talk before the others get involved.”

“Fine. What do you want me to say, Romani?”

“Let’s start with why you’re here.”

Marc slapped his knee and coughed out a single, huffy laugh. “I was pretty sure you knew.”

“You could be an asset for us, but I’m banking on assumptions. I need confirmation, and until I get that, it’s just you and me. Now, spill. What do you want?”

“Your wife.” Marc cocked his head, taking in with joy the anger boiling behind Jerry’s eyes. “No? Okay, let’s start with you teaching me how to use angel magic.”

“Why not ask one of the Fallen?”

Marc rose to his feet. The simple movement put Jerry on edge.

“And let the cat out of the bag? You didn’t exactly openly share with the others what you understand, and I’m willing to bet that’s because you knew the Fallen were also in the dark on that. The only advantage we have right now is that fact.”

“We could keep up this verbal poker match all night, Marc, but sooner or later, one of us is going to have to lay down his cards.” Jerry seemed amused. “Be a good boy and tell your big brother so we can just get on with it.”

Marc stood erect. “You need me, and the power I hold. Just like I need you, and the knowledge you have on how to use that power.”

“A power I spent two eons studying,” Jerry confirmed. “So what? You want me to make a deal with the devil, is that it?”

Marc bowed, low to the ground, his arms spread wide on each side. “In the flesh.” He rose with every bit of devilishness he could muster fueling the grin on his face. “I need you to help me take Hell from the Grigori.”

Jerry pondered that a moment.
