Chapter 123

Ari filled me in about Kane being pulled off active duty for a while because of dangerously high salt levels in his blood after too many kills in too short a period of time. The cost of his particular magic, just like mine was risk of heart attack. Much as I wished otherwise, there'd be no point berating Kane.

"What kind of demon was that?" I asked, with a glance back.

"A fix. They feed off addiction." Ari shook his head, staring musingly at the bar's back door that Kane had already gone through. "Rare though. The only way to identify them is by a thickness in their throat where the gills are hidden."

I flung the bar's door open. "How the hell did he spot that all the way back in a dark alley?"

"He spots everything." I couldn't tell if Ari sounded annoyed or impressed.

If the witch-seeking fail wasn't enough, the bar was an irritating insult to injury. Too many bodies pressed too close together in hopes of getting even closer before night's end.
