Chapter 41

"Through every city shall he hunt her down,

Until he shall have driven her back to Hell,

There from whence envy first did let her loose."

-Dante Alighieri, Inferno

Zach had decided to wait outside, but I knew he wouldn't just leave me alone. He clearly thought that the two of us needed a proper catch up. I had a feeling that Arthur wasn't just planning to hand me over to the detective after we were finished talking. He had his own agenda in mind. Zach and I weren't connected anymore; we weren't even friends. Just two people that messed around a little.

Deep down I knew that we should have waited for Rodriguez. He needed to know about the letters. The faction liked keeping tabs on any new demons that had access to the royal family. I also promised Cyril to follow the protocol to the book. So far this had proven to be much more difficult than expected.
