Cleaver tried to pull himself together. It wasn’t done yet though. Cleaver watched a beautiful woman approach from the right. It was all he could do not to stare at her wildfire eyes and her perfect, pouting mouth. The woman’s nose though, was hopelessly crooked.

“This is Cheyne,” Eldritch indicated her with an open hand turned palm up. “She is the witch Queen, originally out of Key West. Their finest.”

“I bring three covens,” Cheyne told Cleaver in a high voice. “With more on the way, my love. Are you alright?”

Cleaver breathed deeply. This whole thing was getting real big. Real fast. A new meteor-like thought slammed through him.

Why are they all talking to me?

“We are identifying various weak points around Miami-” Cheyne was saying.

“Weak points?” Cleaver managed to blurt out.

“Areas of suppurating evil. Some places are more susceptible than others. It is at these weaker places that the demons will break through.”

“Why?”

“Bridges,” Cheyne pressed. “Malls. Part of South Beach. Coconut Grove.”

“Coconut Grove?”

“Evil is a frequent companion of vanity, my love.”

“And what of Gorgoroth?” Eldritch spoke up, much to Cleaver‘s relief. “Has Kinkade learned more?”

“Kinkade is a veritable torrent of information. And he is warming to his task a little more with every second that passes. He is definitely worth the price.”

Cleaver’s head was starting to spin with all this information. “What price? And who is Kinkade?”

“Gorgoroth will be invoked over the ocean,” Cheyne rocked Cleaver with a smoldering glance, then turned to take in the surf. “A place vast and wild and untamed enough to accommodate his presence.”

“Here?” Cleaver said, biting his tongue. “You mean right here!”

Cheyne nodded and drew her dark cloak around her as though suddenly cold.

My city! Cleaver stared out over the rolling waves. “This is all I’ve ever known,” he said quietly. “How can Miami be destroyed? Good people live here.”

Eldritch touched his shoulder. “Worry not, Mr. Cleaver,” he said in his rich voice. “It is now that we will start to make a difference. Ubers. And Aegis. Believe it or not, we do have a plan.”

Eldritch laid an arm across his shoulders, turned him, and walked him off down the beach. He said, “We need your help. Before this is over, you will make a difference.”

Cleaver couldn’t believe his ears. For so long he had tried to do just that.

Now these good people were offering him their help. And they needed him.

He looked the King right in the eyes. “Let’s get started.”
