SEVENTEEN

OUT OF THE corner of my eye, I saw the first Einherjar stand. He extended an arm and caught a battle-axe. Peaches ran at the wall, unleashing a bark that brought me to my knees. The shockwave from the bark smashed the Einherjar into a wall, reverting it to dust again.

I pressed the main bead on my mala bracelet, formed my shield, and crouched down. Monty slid in next to me while jagged marble shrapnel pounded my arm and flew past us. Peaches smashed into and through the wall, landing outside with a crash.

I felt the tremors run through the floor as some of the other Einherjar began to stand. The sound of shattering glass filled the office.

“There’s a good chance your creature just compromised the integrity of a load-bearing wall.” Monty removed the Sorrows from the wall and sheathed them.

“How do you know it’s load-bearing?” I said, stepping up to our new exit and looking down at 5th Avenue below. “Could just be aftershocks from the initial impact.”

Monty pointed to the other side of the office, and I saw the floor sway. “It may be time to bail?”

I nodded and stepped through the gaping hole in the wall. It could easily fit a small SUV into the space and still have room on either side.

“This building is old.” I looked at the outside of the Hybrid. “Maybe it was due a renovation?”

“Not like your creature has given them a choice.”

Monty leaped off the parapet wall that encircled the second floor. He landed silently and looked up at me before walking to the Dark Goat. Peaches, back to normal size, sat on his haunches and waited for me to come down.

All around the Hybrid, I heard alarms going off. The metal shutters tried to rise, but the frames were skewed and no longer square, causing them to get stuck in their tracks. Red strobe lights shone into the night all around the property. I peeked back into Castor’s office and saw two more of the Einherjar had reformed.

“Time to bail,” I said and jumped off the ledge of the second story. I landed next to Peaches, who padded next to me as we walked rapidly to the Dark Goat.

<Can you have the angry man make me some meat?>

<After that, you deserve it. But you know, Monty doesn’t eat meat. Why don’t we go to the place and get you some extra meat?>

<Meat is life…extra meat is…>

Peaches stopped and howled into the night.

<My thoughts exactly.>

I opened the back door, and Peaches bounded in, rocking the Dark Goat. I turned back to see Castor stepping quickly out of the Hybrid with a group of men in combat armor. None of them were Einherjar. He had a phone to his ear and stared sharp poison-tipped daggers at me. I waved as I jumped into the Dark Goat and pulled away.

I heard a deep rumble and looked into the rear-view mirror to see more of the Hybrid collapse and fall into the street. I headed downtown on 5th Avenue to get my amazing hellhound his pastrami special.
