been the manâs soul. He felt his stomach clench with fear as he
realized that the analogy might not be that far off the mark.
âWhat do you want in return?â he asked cautiously, desperate not
to say anything that might be construed as committing himself.
âMake an offer, and if I like it Iâll take it,â the imp said. âIf
not...â It shrugged, and Emile knew that it wasnât going to tell
him what the consequences of making the wrong offer might
be.
âSo thereâs no chance of you telling me something for
nothing?â he ventured. âKind of a free trial offer.â
The imp laughed unkindly. âI wasnât born yesterday, bud,â it
said. âAll knowledge comes with a price. Donât they teach you
kids that any more?â
âI...â Emile looked round at the cultists, now clustered close to
the chalk circle that they were in danger of crossing Adnan
noticed it too, and roughly pushed them back, an expression
of alarm on his face. When he looked over at Emile, it had
been replaced by one of avid curiosity. Emile suddenly felt like a
lab rat in a very unhealthy experiment âI...â
The imp leant forward. âYou gonna reach a decision some
time this century, kid?â it asked.
âI...â Emile clasped his arms around himself. âNo. You can go,â
he said. âI donât think Iâm willing to pay the price.â
The little creature grinned ferally at him. âYeah, no one is till
theyâre desperate enough. Be seeing ya, then.â
There was a small, clear pop, and the chalk circle was
empty.
After that there was a momentâs stillness, as everyone
seemed to ask themselves if theyâd really just seen what they
thought theyâd just seen. Then the gathered students
dissolved into frantic talking and the too-loud laughter of
frightened relief.
Adnan continued staring at the circle for a long moment, a look
of disappointment on his face. âI wonder what he would have
told you,â he said.
âYou could always call him back and ask him yourself,â
Emile ventured.
Adnan stared at him, as if heâd said something very stupid or
very insulting. âThis isnât a game,â he said. âThis stuff⦠it
changes everything. With these powers we can do any thing.â
Then he flashed his signature broad smile. âIf weâre willing to
pay the price.â
