Nick had noticed that but damned if he wasn't going to just accept what he saw at face value as he looked at Derek "Mind clueing us in?"
"Sure," Julia said dryly "Just put the gun down." She looked at the Soulchaser and asked humorlessly "Everyone knows everyone. Soulchaser's here because Derek and I were jumping in the parking lot by some demon teenagers that were sent to take us out. Someone from the inside of Hell is sneaking the things by him to get to us and we have to get ready now in case who or whatever it is decides to send something else. The rest of it can wait until we start working on tracking a man down that may know of the location of the sixth seplicur." Alex looked at the Soulchaser again, remembering how he had choked her and nearly made off with Nick. Then she looked at Julia. It didn't look like her friend was under anyone's control, but still. The Soulchaser brought back some back memories.
