“Nope, no Facebook or social media allowed, we’re all targets as it is, no need to make it easer to be found,” Dylan spoke up.
“Dylan actually keeps on top of removing anything that could lead back to us online. One of his specialties,” Hadley said.
“You should have everyone’s number now though, right?” Paris asked, and Lily nodded.
Everyone fell into their own small conversations over dinner, but I noted Dezikiel looking my way, and when I caught his gaze, he flicked his head.
Guess we were needed once dinner was over. But what for?
Dinner was uneventful otherwise, and when it came to a close, Dezikiel pulled Creeper and I aside.
“Come with me,” Dezikiel said softly once everyone else had headed off. Creeper and I exchanged glances but followed him to his office.
He shut the door and moved to stand before his desk.
“I have a mission for you both. Demons have possessed some vampires in Pittsburgh. I think you two would be the best candidates for such a task.”
I gritted my teeth as Creeper sighed. Guess wooing Lily would have to wait.
“Here’s everything I have on them so far,” Dezikiel said as he handed me the file from his desk.
I flicked through it before offering it to Creeper. Five vampires inhabited by demons. A harsh mix and not easy to kill. Vampires alone were strong and fast, but with demons possessing them, they couldn’t be slowed down with standard methods.
“You leave tonight, I have a plane booked so you’ll be there tomorrow. Take time in surveying the mission. We need them all put down. Combined with vampire strength, they are causing quite a stir,” Dezikiel said with a sigh.
I nodded as Creeper closed the file and pursed his lips.
“Guess we better go pack.”
We left Dezikiel’s office, and I tried not to growl as the dark cloud settled over me. I didn’t want to have to leave Lily right now, but this was important. At least Chumley and Bug would be staying behind to take care of her.
“Should we say goodbye to Lily?” Creeper asked.
“No. Better if we don’t, she’ll find out we’re gone. No need for her to ask questions,” I murmured.
Lily and Xander were not caught up to date on what the Academy’s true purpose was. They were usually informed after their first year, and we were under strict orders to not tell them.
I hated keeping her in the dark about it, but it was for the best. Apparently.
