“Slow night for once,” Wrath commented, buttoning the tattered coat he was wearing to block the chill.

Reaper nodded, scanning an alley they were passing. “It would be nice if it stayed that way.”

“How are we going to find Missy? Presuming she’s out and about tonight.”

Reaper thumbed toward three kids leaning against the wall of a derelict building before going over to talk to them. The girl looked at him askance then broke into a wide grin.

“Going native on us, Reaper?” Raven asked.

“Protective coloring,” he replied.

“Bet I know why,” one of the boys, who Reaper knew went by the name Dabby, said. “Cops looking for you.”

“Now why would they be doing that?” Reaper said, one corner of his mouth cocking up with amusement.

“’Cause they don’t like… Hell, what’s that word the cop used?” Dabby looked at his friends.

“Vigilantes,” Raven told him before looking at Reaper with a worried frown. “They are looking for you and”—her gaze went to Wrath—“him too, maybe?”

“So I heard,” Reaper replied, smiling dryly.

“Sucks,” Raven said. “You were sexy in the leathers.”

“Yeah, well… Anyway, back to why I’m here right now. Do any of you know a girl who calls herself Missy?”

“Yep,” the third kid said. “Saw her earlier tonight. She was hanging with Kip and Colly over by Grant Middle School.”

“Thanks. I’ll check it out. And if you see her, tell her we need to talk. Okay? I’ll be… You know the building on Tyler that used to be a print shop?” When the trio nodded, Reaper said, “Tell her I’ll go by there on-and-off tonight and to wait there. It’s important.”

“Will do,” Raven replied.

“Good. Catch you later, I’m sure. And behave.” Reaper laughed when the three teens looked at him as if he was crazy, then he and Wrath took off, heading toward the school.

Luck was with them. As the school came in sight, they saw a small group of kids in the playground lit dimly by a streetlight on the corner. The boys seemed to be shooting baskets with, Reaper decided when he got closer, a half-inflated soccer ball. “Don’t get much bounce with that, do you?” he called out.

He and Wrath pushed open the gate in the fence surrounding the playground.

“Got a better idea?” an older boy replied defiantly as he turned to see who had asked.

“Yep. Stop by a gas station and use their air machine.”

The boy snorted. “Only one around here ain’t got one. You gotta be in the ‘burbs for that. And who are you to be telling me what to do, old man?”

“Shush, Vince,” Zip said, coming up to the boy. “That’s Reaper.”

“No way! From what I’ve heard, Reaper’s one tough-looking dude. That guy”—Vince pointed at Reaper—“couldn’t knock out a fly by the look of him.”

“Don’t judge by appearances,” Reaper said, joining them. He held out his hand. Cautiously, Vince took it and, seconds later, he was face down on the ground with him arm twisted behind his back. Reaper released him immediately, helping him get to his feet again.
