Chapter Thirteen

Trinity

“You know the expression ‘needle in a haystack’?” Nix drawls. “That’s what this feels like.”

“Shut up,” Ryland says absently, although there’s no real bite to his words. They’ve had this exact exchange at least three times already, so I don’t think he can work up the energy to be annoyed by his brother anymore.

And, frankly, Nix has a point.

I was so excited about the clue Flynn gave us. With a physical drawing of the mark, we’ve got a shot at finding the demon who tried to have me killed. But that’s where the needle analogy comes in.

We don’t know where to look, so the entire fucking city is basically one big haystack.

We’ve been tromping around the desolate city for most of the day, doing our best to avoid large crowds. Even though Flynn removed my mark, we don’t know how much longer the potion Isaac gave me will last—and I really don’t want to become demon bait again.

“Man, who knew saving the world was so fucking tedious?” Nix jokes, bumping me with his shoulder. He winks at me when I glance at him. “And that’s coming from the laziest man in the world.”

I snicker, but we both freeze when Beckett holds up a hand. Remi is up ahead scouting out our path, and he returns quickly, sticking to the shadows of buildings as he comes.

“There’s some kind of market around the corner up there,” he reports, gesturing to the street behind him. “Lots of demons.”

“We should check it out quickly, then move on,” Ryland says. “Knight?”

Envy nods. He’s the one who usually sneaks into crowds when we encounter bigger groups of demons, since he’s the one who has the easiest time moving about undetected. I know he’s good at this, but I still hate it. My heart clenches with worry as I watch him move quietly forward and disappear around the corner.

He’s gone for several long moments, then he slips back around the corner, walking quickly toward us. His eyebrows are knitted together, and he’s already signing before he reaches us. I’ve been trying to learn his language, but I’m still pretty freaking bad at it, so all I pick up is the word “demon” and the word “servant.”

I wrinkle my nose. What?

“You sure?” Ryland asks. Knight nods emphatically.

“He saw a demon with the mark branded onto his skin,” Remi murmurs, translating for me. “He thinks it’s a servant of whoever put the mark on you. If we follow him, maybe he’ll lead us to his master.”

My heart jumps with excitement. “Let’s go, then!”

It actually takes a few minutes, since we can’t go anywhere until the servant leaves the market. But Knight keeps an eye on him and signals us quickly when the marked demon is on the move. The rest of us follow, leaving so much distance between us and our target that I worry a bit about him slipping our grasp entirely.

But luckily, every time he slips out of view, we catch sight of him again quickly. We walk across the city into an area where the buildings are larger and spaced farther apart.
