“Whoa, what the fuck was that?” There was real alarm in Dante’s
eyes. He had gone a little pale.
“What?” Meg queried as she moved the mouse to back up the
feed. Her heart seized with joy at the sight of a long, thin man
walking past the camera. He was in a hooded cape, but there was the
briefest glimpse of his eyes. Meg wanted to jump and shout her
happiness to the world. She settled for announcing triumphantly,
“That’s a Planeswalker demon.”
Dante slumped into the seat behind her. “You aren’t crazy.”
Meg slid him a bemused glance. “I thought we’d settled that a few
weeks back.”
“Nope,” he said, shaking his head. “I was still certain you were
loony.”
“Then why have you been helping me?”
“I don’t know if you’ve noticed, sweetheart, but you have
fabulous tits,” Dante said with a sigh. “I figured once you gave up on
the whole idea of being queen of the faery world, you might consider
sleeping with me. Now I see that demons are real. I’m going to church
tomorrow.”
Meg didn’t think she wanted to get into how to save his soul. She
chose to concentrate on the question at hand. “What was the time?
Did you see which way he came from?”
Dante backed up the tape and checked the time log. “It was three
minutes after midnight last night.”
“That makes sense. It’s an in-between time. I read about it. The
veil between worlds is thinnest then. That’s when the door opens.”
She looked at the clock. It wasn’t even ten yet. There was still time.
