“Between streaming video and BitTorrent, I’m not sure there’s anything left.”
Samael shrugs.
“Look harder. Consult with some younger witches. Maybe together you can conjure up a lost film or two.”
“That’s not a bad idea. I’ve always wanted to see a full version of London After Midnight.”
“A fine place to start.”
I sit down and smoke. That was all too close. Mr. Muninn might not be as strong as he once was, but he can probably still turn me into mildew on a bathroom shower mat. But I kept my promise to Traven. Maybe I’ll visit Blue Heaven with him. See what the big deal is. It’s not easy to get there if you don’t go through the Room, so everyone there is supposed to be in the high-IQ club. Definitely the place for him. Not so much for me. Still, I haven’t had a vacation in a while. Hell sure doesn’t count. Maybe take Candy there for a weekend just to clear my head so I can stomach dealing with Wells again.
“Knock knock.”
It’s Candy.
“Can I come in?”
“Of course.”
“You know the Devil is stealing all your Italian and Japanese horror movies.”
“Ex-Devil, dear. Let him. He saved me and Father Traven’s grapes tonight.”
“Liam doesn’t have to stay in the Room forever?”
I shake my head.
“Tomorrow I’m taking him to Blue Heaven.”
“Where’s that?”
“I’m not sure. It’s supposed to be nice. You should come with us and see what it’s like.”
“Okay. So that’s it? God stops by to argue and you get everything you want?”
“Hardly. But enough. And now I owe him a favor.”
“He’ll want the Qomrama.”
“Yeah, but he knows he can’t have that. That means it’ll be something a lot harder.”
She puts an arm around me.
“We’ll deal with it when happens.”
“Thanks.”
I get up and drop the cigarette in the dregs of Mr. Muninn’s coffee.
“Can I tell Brigitte about Liam getting out of Hell?”
“Don’t go into details, but yeah. Why not?”
“She’ll know it was you.”
I say, “We should get food delivered to celebrate.”
“Excellent idea. What should we get?”
