Jada shook her head. “If my father found out about Lucifer, he’d definitely flip.”

I was willing to bet Thierry was already flipping out.

My phone dinged from my back pocket. Pulling it out, I quickly read the message. “Hey.” I looked up at Zayne. “Roth says that Lucifer already has someone who may know where Bael is holed up.”

His brows lifted. “Damn. He works fast.”

“That he does.” I shoved my phone back in my pocket. If Lucifer had found someone, we needed to get over there ASAP. I hated to cut and run on Jada and Ty.

“Lucifer,” she whispered, shaking her head again. “I can’t believe you all are working with the Lucifer.”

“Yeah,” Zayne said. “Neither can we, so when this is all over, we’re just going to pretend like it never happened.”

I cracked a grin. “Sounds like a good plan.”

“What...what is he like?” she asked, and then cringed. “I can’t even believe I’m asking that.”

“I don’t think anyone can blame you for being curious.” Zayne smiled at her.

How did one describe Lucifer? “He’s, um, he’s unique.”

Zayne snorted.

“Unique?” Ty repeated.

I nodded. “He’s not what you’d expect and in a way totally what you’d expect from Satan. He’s kind of a mess.” An idea struck me—a way we could find out who it was that Lucifer had wrangled up and spend time with my friends. “Do you all want to meet him?” I offered, hopeful. “You would be safe. Or should be. I mean, he hasn’t seriously threatened us or anything.”

“He hasn’t seriously threatened you guys?” Ty glanced between Zayne and I. “What did he do? Casually threaten you all?”

“We kind of had words,” Zayne explained. “But things are fine now.” He paused. “Sort of.”

“That’s reassuring,” Ty mumbled.

“So? You guys want to come with us? He’s at Roth’s house.”

“The one who is the actual Crown Prince of Hell?” Jada said.

I nodded. “And Layla will be there. She’s part Warden and...yeah, so she’s also Lilith’s daughter. And yes, the Lilith. Also, Cayman may also be there. He’s—”

“Let me guess,” Ty interrupted. “He’s also a demon.”

“Middle management level, basically. Man, we have weird friends,” I said.

“That we do,” Zayne agreed.

I sighed. “Either way, if you guys don’t want to, totally understandable. I can catch up with you all afterward.”

Ty dragged his hand over his head. “Yeah, no offense, but I’m going to have to pass on that and take Dez up on his offer.”

Jada looked over at Ty and then back to me. “This probably has ‘bad life choice’ written all over it, but yeah, I do want to meet him.”
