A car waited for us directly on the runway when Lucifer's private jet landed in New Orleans, and I descended the steps from the plane into the November sunshine and warmth. I paused and turned my face skyward, my angelic nature soaking up the bright light. Angels needed light to survive and to fuel our powers, while demons and Fallen needed darkness. Which was why Azazel emerged from the plane and ducked her head, donned her sunglasses, and grumbled under her breath.

The driver stared straight ahead as we slid into the cream leather seats, and I fished in my purse for the address of the bar where I hoped to find Belial. Kassiel had given it to me earlier, with a warning that Belial might not give me the warmest welcome.

I passed the paper over the driver's shoulder. “Drive straight here, please.”

Zel cocked an eyebrow. "We should head to the hotel first."

"No." I bristled, annoyed at being questioned. "We go to the bar first."

Zel held up her hands in surrender, and I turned away from her and stared out of the window. I wasn't really upset with her, just anxious about this trip, especially now that we'd arrived. I tried to ignore my jangling nerves and focus on the New Orleans scenery—old buildings with tons of charm, colorful streetcars gliding down the road, people stopping to dance to music on the sidewalk. Any other day, this would have been incredible. But I was meeting my son, and fuck if it didn’t feel like the first time.

I wiped my sweat-slicked palms over the side of my pants. It might have been easier if Zel had been more of a conversationalist, but when I shot a glance in her direction, she was looking out her own window, her mouth pressed into a tight line. Probably upset with me for overruling her, although that was something she'd have to get used to now. I was no longer clueless human Hannah, after all. I was her boss now.

"Have you been to New Orleans before?" I asked.

She dragged her gaze back to me and looked at me like I was an idiot. "Of course I have."

Okay, so we'd probably need to have a talk about her attitude at some point.

The limo eventually pulled over in front of a row of buildings. I hesitated, my hand on the door handle, like I was waiting for some sort of sign before I got out of the car.

"Take our bags to the hotel, please,” I said to the driver. “We’ll walk from here."

I got out of the car, and made sure to grab Morningstar and strap it to my back. Not that I expected to need it, but Lucifer had insisted I take it in case an Archdemon sent minions after me. I did feel more confident with it on, as I sucked in a deep breath and stared at the row of buildings on this narrow street. Many of the structures looked jammed together in a row,
