I stayed leaning into her, staring.

She pushed me away, setting fire to my coat sleeve. I patted out the flames. There was no damage, of course; all my suits were spell warded against fire, bullets, and other inconveniences.

I resumed watching Solstice. Maybe she’d heard us; her face was red, her chanting louder. A cool wind gusted up, fanning her hair. The crystal swung toward a section of warehouse that had a loading bay with a rolling steel door drawn down and padlocked. She pointed. “There!”

“I hope so.” I drew a Beretta Storm, holding it at my sides. I wanted my other hand free in case I needed to summon my demon sword. “If this turns out to be just a sweatshop full of illegals, I will feel a teeny bit embarrassed. And then I’ll have to kill everyone inside so I don’t wind up in a video on YouTube.”

“I’m not wrong,” Solstice declared. “The spirits say this is the place.”

“Let’s go see.” Briskly, Imari strolled away, her body igniting to match her orange hair.

Vivian hurried to catch up. She wore the machine pistol on a shoulder strap, the Magnum rhino-killer handgun clutched in both hands.

I glared at Colt. “Stay with your grandfather unless it looks like I’ve miscalculated and I’m about to die.”

He smiled like a little angel. “Sure. Whatever you say.”

“I’ve got this,” the Old Man said. “Go.”

Surrounded by my four demon guards, I went chasing after the girls, dragging Solstice along by one arm.

She stumbled along, squawking. “Hey, I thought I was supposed to stay behind, too. What’s the deal?”

I explained as we crossed the concrete apron. “You can stay outside when we go in, but I need you to tell me if there are magical wards or a magical alarm system of some kind.”

“I’m not sure I can do that,” she said.

“What? Your coven palmed off a second-rate witch on us?”

“I’m a witch apprentice. And I’ve done all right so far.”

“Keep doing all right,” I suggested, “and you’ll avoid a shallow grave.”

Her eyes grew huge. “You’re threatening me?”

“At least you’re not stupid. I make stupid people suffer longer.”

That shut her up.

Our forces gathered, divided by the closed loading dock door. Solstice, my demons guard, and I were on the side leading to a second, normal door with no windows in it. I gave our hippie-witch a meaningful stare. Shed swallowed and turned to face the gray brick wall. She took the crystal off the dreamcatcher and pointed it at the wall. The clear crystal didn’t glow, or wiggle, or anything. I was disappointed. She turned to me. “It’s clear. You can go in.”

It had better be, or I will hunt you down and kill you later.

I smiled and patted her shoulder in a friendly fashion. “Okay, you’ve done your job. We’ll take it from here.”

She scurried off with a falsetto shriek. Surprisingly, my smile hadn’t calmed her at all.

I nudged Stinky. “You and Imari, burn a hole in the steel door.”

Quartz, Thorn, and Misty skulked along with me to the normal door.
