up.”
    The lull in the action doesn’t last long.
    “Unload on these assholes.” A soldier yells on the other side of the gate. Within seconds, gunshots fill the air. I lean back against the car and hold my hands over my ears. If I had one main reason for hating guns, its the noise.
    For nearly a minute the soldiers fire at the cars. If there is anyone left inside of them, there is no way they are alive.
    “Hold your fire.” The soldiers echo as the firing comes to an end.
    “Suarez. Williams. Go make sure our friends are no longer with us.”
    I watch as the two men move towards the cars. I look around, noticing the other guys with their guns held at the ready. They stop a few feet away when the shorter man jumps on the hood, aiming his weapon into the car. He looks back and shakes his head.
    The men start to relax their weapons when I hear a blood curdling scream coming from the air.
    “Holy shit. Suarez!”
    The gunfire erupts once again. Three men exit the car, one pushing his hand forward, which causes Williams to fly back towards the gate. They all move quickly into the wooded area outside of the complex.
    “Pull your men back!” I tell the nearest officer. “You aren’t prepared to deal with demons. Send someone for Uriel and Zeke.” I pull my knife out and head towards the gate. “And open this damn gate.”
    “What are you going to do?”
    “I’m going to save your asses.”
    The gates open and I run off into the woods looking for the men. I don’t bother with the other two cars, but I assume they are both demon filled too. Running off after three was a death sentence enough. Hopefully the angels can come out and handle the others.
    I come around a tree and notice the three demons huddled down next to a creek. I throw my knife and reach out, guiding it into the neck of one of the demons. I start running towards the trio as I pull the knife back to my hand.
    The two others stand up and charge at me. I’m not really sure what I expected to happen, but I duck the lead asshole’s clothesline just to take a boot to the face from the second one which knocks me to the ground.
    “Not fast enough, pathetic human.” He lifts up his leg to stop my head.
    I roll out of the way of his stomp, but into the other demon who grabs me from behind. I feel the darkness start to settle in my veins. I take a shot to the gut as my vision starts to go cloudy. I reach down and pull my knife back to my hand. I reach in for the kill only to have the knife knocked free and take a shot to the jaw.
    Eunie has had enough. I try to hold on, but the darkness takes me anyways.
     
     
     
     
    I pulled up to her house fifteen minutes too early. I had a thing about punctuality already, but I couldn’t stand the wait. I knocked on the door and a hundred thoughts enter my head. Part of me wants to tuck my tail between my legs and run. I know it hasn’t been that long since Carla, but something about this one is special. I can’t seem to place it, but I’ve never been the one to subscribe to infatuation.
    Within moments she answered the door wearing a beautiful blue dress that flowed down to her calves. Her hair was pulled back in a pony tail which exposed a pair of dangling purple earrings and a silver cross on a thin chain.
    “So, where are you taking me?” She reaches out and takes my hand.
    “I’m sworn to secrecy.” I smile at her. “You will like it.”
    We got in the car and drove down to the riverfront. Our first stop for the evening was at the esteemed Glassini Restaurant.
    “Wow. You went all out.” She flashes a smile.
    “You haven’t seen anything yet.”
    We walk inside to a table I have reserved at the back of the restaurant. Instead of sitting at a standard table, ours is back in the kitchen with the chefs. The chef greeted us as we walked into back as we took our seats.
    “Wow. I didn’t know they did this here.”
    “Its not something they advertise out front. The table is usually booked months in
