“You are a cruel woman, Nancy.”

“And you’re just figuring out?” I motion toward the car. “Let’s get going. I guess we’ll stop at a diner on the way home. Lee, how did you get here? Do you need a ride?”

“I have dad’s car. He let me borrow it today.”

“You want to follow us and have dinner?”

“What do you want, mistress?”

I throw my car keys at Houston. “Lee and I are going to dinner.
Alone
.”

“What are we supposed to do about dinner?” asks Houston.

“Do I not pay you? I think you can manage without me feeding you for one night.”

“
So you guys going somewhere or eating in
?” thinks Houston at me.

“
Houston
,” I think back at him. “
Go visit your Aunt Ruth tonight.”

Nancy’s ongoing issues with her apprentice’s dead mother take a back seat to an escaped demon that falls into her lap (well, actually, falls into the roof of the car in front of her). Now she has to track it down before it jumps into a new body or evolves into a more dangerous species.

The Gremlin

: In a political gambit to counter the still mysterious plots of the Lord Advocate of the Eights of the Nine, Nancy agrees to apply for her Rank Two trials. Unfortunately, the trials involve performing a dangerous binding ritual she isn’t sure she is ready for. More unfortunate, her apprentice has hatched a plot of his own to help her than might make the matter worse.
