Chapter Fourteen

“Cerberus went down this way,” Jason pointed down a dark alley. It was midday, the sun was high and the markets were teaming with people going about their daily business. But Jason had no problems picking up the unique sulfur smell that clung to Cerberus like a cloud. “If he’s got any sense, he’d hide away from all these people.”

“He could have gone anywhere.” Lasse was studying the area. Jason knew Lasse had spent decades in the small sea-side town and had been able to recognize the bar Jason visited when they chatted about it over a late breakfast. “If he’s searching for Hades, then I can’t think why he’d come here. This is not the sort of place my uncle likes to visit.”

“I’m not sure Cerberus is playing with a full deck right now. Look at this.” Jason crouched about two yards in the alley, running his fingers along the deep claw scratches in the paint work on the side of the building. They were fresh and stunk of sulfur. “If he’s shifted and can’t find his human form, he could pose a real threat to this town.”

“Surely, he’d just go back to the underworld?”

Jason could see Lasse didn’t want to think the worst of his furry friend, but Jason knew what anger and jealousy could do and Cerberus was full of both. “We can’t make that assumption. For now, we have to treat Cerberus like any other dangerous animal who’s snapped his leash. He’s crazed with jealousy and missing his master and that’s not a good state of mind for him to be in.”

“I agree. It would be a lot easier if we knew where Hades had gone then he could deal with his mutt.” Lasse sighed. “Damn my uncle. If Cerberus hurts anyone I’ll freaking put him down myself.”

“Hopefully, it won’t come to that. Come on.” The end of the alley led to yet another market teaming with people. Jason knew he was missing something. There’s no way Cerberus would willingly walk among the living, especially so many of them. Listening to his instincts, Jason looked up and caught the glimpse of a black hulk sliding around the side of a building. Nothing unusual in that, except that the bulk was hiding under the eaves of that building, a good twelve feet off the ground.

“Can Cerberus climb?” He asked as he and Lasse pushed their way through the crowd. Everyone was enjoying the sunshine with smiles on the faces of the children and the stall holders hawking their wares. “Excuse me,” he said as he nudged one woman’s arm.

“Agorázoun portokália mou,” the woman insisted.

Jason shook his head as she shoved a bag of oranges in his face. “No, thank you,” he said quickly. “Er…óchi efcharistó. Er…” he pointed to the clock. “áron áron. I’m in a hurry.”

“Here,” Lasse reached over and grabbed the oranges, handing her a handful of euros with the other hand. “Efcharistó,” he added, thanking the woman. Jason let himself be pulled away, checking the eaves of the buildings around them.
