CHAPTER SEVEN – RILEY

As I watched the tall, thin figure emerge from the driver’s seat of the van, I moved even quicker across the yard. I had the feeling again of hundreds of eyes watching me, but I didn’t care. Klein had brought me everything I needed to turn this game back around to our advantage. I wasn’t so bold as to think that I could take on a legion of demons, but I was pretty sure I could handle a few dozen humans and two demons. Piece of cake.

I dropped Paige’s hand only to move to embrace the man who came around the front of the van and was looking at me as if I had dragged him into some remote corner of Hell.

“It’s good to see you, buddy,” I said. I was surprised at the slight wobble to my voice.

A tentative slap on my back was my answer and then Klein pulled away looking at me with his eyebrows raised. I knew that was because of my reaction to seeing him again. I didn’t hug. I think that I barely acknowledged Klein most days of the week. But it was nice to see someone from home and to be able to remember that a week ago I had a normal life. Or as normal a life as someone like me could have anyway.

“Did you get hit on the head?” Klein asked, his tone suspicious. “You’re looking at me like I’m one of your ghosts.”

I laughed and slapped him on the shoulder. “Nope. I’m very glad you are real, and you are here.” I stepped to the side and cocked my head toward Paige. “Klein, this is Paige Matthews.”

Another raised eyebrow. “She’s the dame you were sent to find on Calamata Island?”

I didn’t have to be a mind-reader to know what Klein was thinking. It wouldn’t be the first time that I got a little more personally involved in a case, although what was happening now was nothing like those times before. Of course, there was no way for Klein to know that.

“Riley saved my life. Three times now,” Paige said, offering her hand. “It’s nice to meet you, Klein.” I watched them both frown at each other as they looked each other up and down. So far, the introductions were going smashingly.

“He’s only saved mine once, so I guess you’ve got a few up on me,” Klein responded. He didn’t elaborate.

“During one of my jobs a few years ago, I came across a few demons who were trying to extract information for their demon official from a nerdy, techno geek,” I said. “Since I like mucking up demon official plans, I killed them and offered the geek a job.”

“I see,” Paige said.

“Klein takes care of research and logistics for me,” I said.

“Field work is not part of my job,” Klein reminded me as he looked around for the first time. “I’m guessing the fact that we’re in the middle of BFE Iowa, and I had to come get you means you are up shit creek with some demon official without a paddle.
