Micah and Wyatt stood with their shoulders wide and tense as they glared at the uncouth angel at my side A smirk lifted one side of Dorian’sstares The olves weren’t to be trifled with Most people avoided their hair-trigger tempers, but Dorian wasn’t most people

"This is Dorian Hade," I said to break the tension "He’s staying with nore his rudeness; it’s the only side of him"

"I resent that" Dorian looked down at me "I think we both know I have another side" He winked and I rolledback at Micah and Wyatt Their eyes volleyed between me and Dorian, their assumptions written all over their faces Why was it ether siht, well, we’ll take these guys back to theto hione from their bodies?"

"Only three of them," Dorian responded "I didn’t have time to extract the rest"

"What are you, soht eye crinkling in speculation

A sly smile spread across Dorian’s lips "I’m much worse"

"That’d be the one," Dorian replied

"Now that the introductions are out of the hat are you guys going to do with the bodies?" I asked It was quickly getting colder and the thin jacket I asn’t up to the task of shieldingy to control the spirits

"Like I said, we’ll take theue," Wyatt replied "We’ll have to find someone to exercise the demons from them"

"I can do it," Dorian offered "It’d be best if we took care of it tonight so that the deo into one of your officers"

Micah and Wyatt looked at each other, their heads nodding and theirwith the run-of-the-mill criminals, not demons

"Where’s Lauren?" Dorian asked

I turned to see where she had gone but didn’t see her "I don’t know, probably sinking her fangs into the cute officer she was flirting with"

"So out to be," Dorian ue"

"Like hell I will," I bit out "It’s late and I’ home"
