The guy blinked at her and narrowed his eyes. “I-I know you.”
Jana took a breath and let the fire heat her blood. She knew her eyes would redden. “Yes, you do.”
His jaw dropped, and he tried to scramble back. A low-level demon, he wouldn’t be any match for her flames. Her power would easily subdue his.
“Not so fast.” She gave him a slow smile. “I just want to talk.” She reached for him, and he swore at the heat in her touch.
“I-I didn’t…I didn’t know they were tryin’ to kill you!” The words burst from him and spittle flew from his mouth. “I heard—heard there was money if an Ig-Ignitor was spotted. Just wanted some cash!”
Now, really, that had been sickeningly easy. “What’s your name?”
He shook his head.
“Asshole, what’s your name?” She knew he’d see the flames in her eyes.
“M-Morris.”
“Who’d you call, Morris?”
He stared up at her, his black eyes bulging. “They’ll kill me.” Whispered.
She laughed. “And what? You think I won’t?” She leaned in close. His back was slammed against the wall. No place for him to go. “I can burn this whole place down before you can blink.”
Morris started to shake. “H-had a phone number…”
“What is it?”
Another owlish stare.
She sighed. Great. “Do you still have your phone? The one you used to make the call?”
A few jerky nods.
“Then get the damn phone out and call the bastards again.” The number would still be on his phone. She jabbed her index finger into his chest. “Tell them that you found their Ignitor, that she’s pissed, and that she’s burning a den.”
“Burning?”
“You and your boys made a few mistakes the other night. You ratted me out, and I really don’t like it when folks betray me.”
“You said you wouldn’t t-take the j-job!”
Ah, so he’d heard that part somewhere, too. Wasn’t he the informed demon flunky?
“The second mistake…” She waited a beat and let the charge grow. “You came after my demon.”
His bushy brows bobbed. “Your?—”
“Make your call.” Jana felt the heat begin to rise. “Then you’d better get the hell out of here.”
Because it looked like the only way to stop those jerks on her tail was to show them that they did not want her. They needed to see that they couldn’t control her, and if they came too close, she’d exterminate them.

Demons began to run out of the den.
“Oh, hell,” Jude muttered.
Zane’s eyes narrowed. “What’s?—”
