I found the basement through falling through the floor, and I dodged death from hungry, angry tigers thanks to landing on top of one of the cages filling the room rather than between them. The narrow distance between the metal top and the ceiling spared me from becoming dinner, and I shrieked, scrambled away from the emaciated animals, and as I’d already thrown away my dignity, I graduated from a shriek to a full-blown scream.

The tigers had friends, and judging from what I could see of the floor, they’d already eaten a few people who’d once worn lab coats.

“These ‘kittens’ are fucking tigers and lions!”

Later, if someone asked, I would claim my exclamation had emerged as a rather stern shout rather than a word-punctuated scream.

Jonas peered down through the Sandra-shaped hole in the floor. “Well, I’ll be damned. The kittens are ligers and tigons, and they’re pretty young, too. They have eaten fairly recently.”

“You sound way too excited about this, Jonas.”

“Those fucking assholes, the ones that used to own those shredded lab coats, are surely in hell waiting to be disciplined, if my guess is right. I’m going to try to get Lucifer to let me help with them this round. Are you all right?”

“I almost got eaten by a few tigers.” The tigers in question roared at me, batting at the cage in their efforts to eat me. “I think that one, in particular, is hungry.” I pointed at the most determined of the predators.

“She, and she’s nursing her kittens, so she’s hungry and needs to produce milk for her little ones. This problem is not hard to solve. The problem is solving it without getting eaten in the process. Fortunately, I have a phone and a willingness to call Lucifer, because we are not rigged to tame a bunch of hungry predators.”

My twisted little brain decided to focus on the one predator I wanted to hunt me and needed to be hungry for the hunt to be on. Careful to keep my feet well out of the tiger’s range, I twisted around to stare up at him. “I’m rigged to tame a hungry predator.”

“I don’t know what species He made you, but I’m concerned. I haven’t seen a woman get this insistent since my sister, and I try not to think too hard about my sister’s hunts for Lucifer. If you want to avoid being eaten by a tiger, I recommend you carefully get to your feet so I can lift you out of there.”

As I needed to escape the hungry tigers and lions in order to hunt the incubus, I obeyed, holding my hands up so he could help me scramble out.

He edged closer to the hole, and the floor creaked, and more rotten wood rained down.

The lions and tigers roared at the noise, and one of the animals rammed the cage, knocking me off my feet. I hit the metal hard enough I yelped.

“I’m impressed with that cage. That tiger has to weigh at least five hundred pounds, and the cage barely moved.
