Excerpt
Abaddon’s eyes met mine,
and I turned to head down the dark street toward a quieter spot, a less public
place. I wasn’t sure what Abaddon had in mind, but I knew it wasn’t going to be
pleasant. I didn’t want anyone to accidentally find us or to valiantly step in,
trying to be a hero.
As I headed farther away
from the commotion of Bourbon Street, into the darkness, I didn’t need to turn
to make sure they were following me.
I could feel them.
As we got farther from
safety, my radar grew more and more intense, as if it was sensing their
anticipation of what was to come.
I approached a dark
alleyway and figured this would be as good a place as any to do it. Only the
hazy illumination of a streetlight reached here, and no doors or windows could
be seen, just the back sides of two buildings.
An efficient place to die.
It was here and now. I
turned to face Abaddon, startled to find him leaning down, merely an inch away.
