going to return it the next time I saw her. "
Spyder lit the butt and dropped the lighter into his jacket pocket. It felt good to pull the smoke into his lungs.
"Whats the deal with all the Satanic losers back home? Do you like them? Do they drive you crazy? What about Anton LaVey?"
"I love Anton LaVey. I love all carnies. God can have the meek. Ill take the grifters. "
"Youve got an answer for everything. Ill give you that, Count. "
"We all have to live with ourselves, especially here. Ill tell you something, because I think youll understand: I know that our Heaven is quite probably a pointless and futile thing, but well build it anyway, because its all the Heaven were ever likely to have. "
Across the plaza, Ashbliss came with Lulu and Shrike. The men rose as they got closer. Both Lulu and Shrike went right to the man they knew as Count Non and hugged him.
Spyder said, "Ladies, let me introduce you to the man in black, his infernal badness, Lucifer. "
Shrike and Lulu looked at the devil. Shrike took -Spyders hand. Lulu smiled. "Count Non, you tricky fuck. I knew there was something about you. Not many men can make me question my gender preferences. "
Lucifer looked at Ashbliss. "Ill talk to you later, dung beetle. Vanish. " He snapped his fingers and the little demon was gone.
"Here," said Spyder, and handed Lulu back her lighter.
"Whered you find it?"
"Ill tell you later. "
"What happens now?" asked Shrike.
"Under other circumstances Id probably throw a party. Given the current unpleasantness, Ill just take you to the book. "
"Just like that?"
