“Monster or not, if it can transport the living to the land of the dead, then it’s the true Death and I’m nothing.”
“It’s done it twice. That’s not a great track record,” I say. ?
?What we need to do isn’t get our feathers ruffled, but figure out a way to get you back home so you can kick that guy’s ass.”
From the kitchen, Candy says, “I think I found something.”
I go in and sit down with her again.
“What is it?”
“Remember how I was looking for Sigrun under ‘actresses’ and ‘singers’? Well, I started adding new search terms like ‘fascist,’ ‘death,’ and ‘magic.’ This is what came up.”
She pulls up a picture of a beautiful young blond woman. I swear I’ve seen the picture somewhere before, but I can’t place it.
Candy sees me trying to place her.
“Imagine her as a brunette,” she says.
I look again.
“Are you kidding me?”
“I found a couple of more like it. They all look like her.”
“When was the picture taken?”
“Sometime in the early twenties.”
“Fuck me.”
“Later. Should I call Julie?”
I go to the living room. Grab my coat and check for the Colt, the black blade, and na’at.
“Make the call if you want. I’m going out and I’m taking Vincent.”
“Are you going to do something stupid?”
“Probably. Want to come with us?”
She has to think about it for a minute. Finally she gets up.
“I’m only going along to keep you from being too stupid.”
“I’m never too stupid. I’m just stupid enough.”
“That right there is the kind of stupid that worries me.”
“What am I supposed to do?” says Kasabian.
I get the Chinese menu from the trash can.
“Order me some pork ribs in sauce and fried rice.”
“And egg rolls,” says Candy.
“I’ve never had Chinese food,” says Vincent. “Order me anything.”
