.Nick felt a flash of pride for the apprentice. You earned it, Paige. I love you! Paige threw her arms around Becca, and Becca couldn t help but smile as Paige dancedaway from her. This is so awesome. She shot one at Nick, then giggled when he batted it away. Sturdy elf, my fanny.You re not an elf, are you?He couldn t help but chuckle, despite the load in his chest. Go harvest some souls, will you? You bet. She bolted for the door, then stopped and spun around when Becca called her name. What? Um. Becca peeked surreptitiously around the room as if she didn t want to be caught beingsupportive. Call me if you get in trouble, okay? You got it! Then Paige charged out the door, and they could hear fireball explosions as she ran downthe stairs.Becca shot Yasmine an apologetic look. Bill me for the damage she does, okay?Nick cocked his head, recognizing the softness in Becca s body language.It was so striking to see it, sothe antithesis of everything she tried to be. You made her day, Mom.She glared at him. Shut up. Then she walked over the window and casually flipped the curtain aside topeer out, her brow furrowing in concern as Nick heard the screech of bus brakes.Generated by ABC Amber LIT Converter, http://www.processtext.com/abclit.html That s it. Yasmine smacked her hands down on her thighs. Watching Becca with Paige makes it soobvious.Who would want a child to succeed more than a mom? They all turned to look at her, and shenodded. Find Satan Jr. s mama, and I ll bet you find the person who s causing all this trouble. His ma? Nick grimaced. Given that Satan Jr.is exponentially worse than his dad, the thought of hismother is just plain scary. He looked at Becca. Who is she? I don t know, but Satan must. Becca peeked outside again, then threw a fireball out the window,nodding with satisfaction when Paige shouted up her appreciation. Let s ask him. How? He ordered you not to bother him again until he said he was ready to see you.She tossed him her cell phone. No, but as his new man-friend, you could.He caught the phone. Satan s in the middle of making love to his woman. He tossed it back. There sno way he ll be answering his phone. He stood up. We ll have to go find him.She rolled her eyes and dialed.When it went into voicemail, she shoved the phone in her pocket,scowling with frustration. The clock keeps ticking and things keep getting in the way.Nick touched her arm, surprised to feel the anger emanating from her.Becca s feelings were simmeringa lot closer to the surface than they used to. Grab some of Dani s clothes.I ll be back in a sec. Hespun and walked out the door, and they could hear him jogging down the stairs.Becca realized she was still wearing Nick s sweats and T-shirt.No bra, no underwear, and entirely notappropriate for taking on Satan.Snuggly and comfy, but not battle worthy. I ll find you something. Yasmine headed for Dani s dresser and pulled out some jeans, undergarments,and a black T-shirt.Yasmine handed Becca a pair of hiking boots, then waved at Jerome, who swungaround to face the wall.Becca peeled off Nick s oversize T-shirt and picked up the sports bra.A little small, but it was betterthan what she was wearing.She yanked it on, and then the shirt, eyeing Jerome as she tugged thetoo-snug jeans on. Did the Council find a way for the Rivkas to survive without Satan s life force?His shoulders tensed. I have no idea what you re talking about.Becca frowned as she wrenched the zipper up on the jeans that were a couple sizes smaller than shewould have liked. Jerome, give it up.Nick told me about the experiments.Jerome groaned. I ll kill him.That s beyond top secret.Becca snorted as she reached for the socks Yasmine had given her. I m about to go interrupt Satan slovemaking to save the woman you drove into Satan Jr. s arms.I think you can manage to tell me abouta few experiments.And you can turn around now.I m decent.Jerome faced her, with a sigh of resignation. The Rivkas have to be supported by Satan s life force.Nothing else from hell worked, and there was no way to repeat what the Markku did.Satan hadchanged the constitution of Rivkas to make them more dependent.They can t store his energy, so wecouldn t do it. His rubbed his fingers over Dani s photo, which was still clutched in his hands.

Did you try linking Rivkas to each other? They re both from hell.He nodded. They have no life force to generate.It didn t work. What about Satan Jr.? Yasmine suggested. It wouldn t be a big deal to risk his life, and he s gotSatan s life force.Becca looked at her in disbelief. There s no way I m walking away from Satan to put myself into SatanJr. s hands [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
