9.

It’s been a while since I spent an entire night flying, and I savored every minute of it.

I had to give up my wings, the Devil Killer sword, and demon hunting. As it turns out, demons are rather vindictive and proactive. Meaning, they showed up at my house one night and even went after little Paxton. I just couldn’t let that happen again. Let someone else out there take over my job, someone who doesn’t live in the suburbs and have three kids.

Three kids. Wow.

I shake Talos’s great head and note the purpling of the sky. It’s coming on morning. I’ll have to return home soon. Talos’s black wings stick out like a sore thumb in the light of day. At night, not so much.

Kingsley lived in Yorba Linda. Would he have noticed random bike racks? Or were they generally so random that very few people indeed saw them? Yet the little detective had noted the anomaly. Were they somehow related to her, or was she just an excellent detective in the making?

There’s about two miles as the dragon flies between the two known locations of the bike racks. I spent the night circling in and around the two spots, sometimes zigging, sometimes zagging, sometimes flying in a figure 8. Always I kept my eyes to the ground, looking for movement in the dark... or the sudden appearance of a rusted old bike rack.

But as the sky continued lightening—and as I legit started feeling guilty for keeping Talos away from his own life for so long—I saw it.

A flash of light.

It was in a canyon between two housing tracks, inaccessible for most people. One would have had to scale a backyard fence, then hike down a steep rock wall... only to be met by thorny briers, thick weeds, and beavertail cactus. A lot of beavertail cactus. In fact, it nearly covers the entire length of the canyon.

Which is why a bike rack—and the man standing next to it—couldn’t have been more out of place.

I turn to starboard, flapping Talos’s mighty wings hard, and angle down.
