Right now, the demons and the shadows were staring each other down, waiting for someone to make the first move.

'Once the fists start flying, so will I. But what about these two...,' Victor thought to himself as he stared at the two fellows who's deal he essentially piggybacked on.

Normally, Victor wouldn't feel bad about ditching people to horrible fates, honor amongst thieves and all that, but...this time was different.
