"Yeah…he is looking into some things for me. He also confirmed that vampire hunters can not annihilate you or me, nor has he ever imagined of anything that can."
Brad spun thoughtful. "This person did not slay me."
"Do you believe he was trying?"
"He was actually attempting to do something. Looks like if he could have slaughtered me, he would have."
"But he could not," a voice behind me noted, "because, as I have said, vampire hunters can only trouble you, not murder you."
I turned, stunned at hearing Jake's voice. It surprised me more to see Scholes with him.
"Leave it to Jake to play devil's exponent," teased the angel.
"What are you doing here, Katharina?" requested the demon icily.
My mouth gawked, and it took me a second to enunciate. "How…how did you do that?"
Scholes stood there clothed as disreputably as ever.
