Jaycee struggled, but Shade was too strong for her and I went through all her pockets, searching for anything that ht help I found her wallet and phone, and stepped back

"No, those are ive them back!"

"I don’t think so" I sat at the table with Cah the wallet "Our demon here has a driver’s license, and her address is printed on it And it’s not the safe house they used last time" I jotted down the address

"Found her smart phone Let’s see e have in here…" Camille frowned "It won’t work"

"Remember? Most electronics won’t work in this rooh the various receipts and cards in Jaycee’s wallet Camille exited the rooy Exchange Care to tell lared

As I skidded into the safe rooart Jaycee was lying dead on the bed, her throat cut froht the demon in a chokehold and, with one quick movement, snapped his neck Camille knelt by Jaycee, then looked up and shook her head

"She’s dead He got to her before we could stop him"

"Van sent an assassin to kill his oife? Or partner? Or whatever the hell they are?"

Shade nodded his agree portal between Earthside and the Sub-Real for a way over to Otherworld And then, this portal--along with Grandeted"
