someplace private we can go to talk with her. Demon’s that possess children are usually weak, so we should be able to evict it easy enough.”
    He was quiet for a moment while he thought about their current assignment. “Does it ever surprise you that demons are able to possess children?”
    “Not really. A demon can only stay in someone that’s too weak to fight them off or has a mean spirit to begin with.” She shrugged to show her indifference. “This one could go either way. It could be that she’s weak, but I’m betting on the latter; teenage girls can be real bitches sometimes.” She looked over and winked at him before continuing. “Trust me, I once was one.”
    Gemariah absorbed her words, and closed his eyes to start running through the plan in his head, trying to figure out any details they might have missed. It was Tori’s next words that brought his thoughts to a halt.
    “We could always bring Trinity in to help us. She could be a good asset, if you th—”
    “No.” He didn’t let her finish talking, and his tone left no room for argument. This was something that was non-negotiable. “Malachi would flay me alive if anything happened to her on my watch. Knowing her, she would do something stupid and get herself in trouble.”
    “You two are so protective of her. There will be a time when Malachi and you will have to cut the cord and let her contribute. She can’t die unless Malachi does, so what’s the problem?”
    “Just because she can’t die, doesn’t mean she can’t get hurt.” Tori was right about one thing, he thought. He was protective over her, but it was because Trinity and he had grown so close. At first it had been because she was so close with Malachi. After a while, they had gotten to know each other and had formed a bond all of their own.
    He wasn’t alone in it either. Gideon had also become overprotective, except Gemariah believed that it was more over guilt than anything else. At a time where Gideon should have been protecting her, he left and she had been attacked. Since then, he had been doing whatever he could to make up for it.
    “Everyone gets hurt sometimes, Gemariah.”
    “Not if I can help it, Victoria,” he shot back. Ignoring her glare over using her full name, he looked out the side window when they started to pull into the school parking lot.
    Tori drove slowly, as not to draw attention to them. Finally finding a parking space not far from the front doors, she pulled in and shut off the car. “You ready?”
    “Ready as I’ll ever be.” He reached over and opened his door. Stretching out of the car, he observed his surroundings for anything unusual. When nothing caught his eye, he shut the door, and started walking to the front door, only to be stopped by a hand on his arm.
    “Whoa, Buddy,” Tori exclaimed. “Don’t you think it may raise questions if you walk in there with an ax at your hip? This is a small town, and has minimal security, but I still don’t think they would like a weapon of that magnitude in their school.”
    He looked at both of them up and down. She was dressed in black leather pants and a tighter than necessary top and he was in normal clothes, but being a six foot eight inch man never helped him blend in. His ax was the least of their worries. “What about your bow?”
    In response, she moved the bag she was holding in front of her, to show him how she was getting it in. “Women carry all sorts of purses and bags, big or small.”
    “Clever.” It really was, but that still didn’t help him get his ax inside. “I guess I’ll have to leave it. You’ll be the only one that can send him back, if it gets out of hand.”
    She nodded in agreement, and started to walk. After leaving the weapon in the car, he hurried and fell into place at her side.
    The moment they made it through the doors, Gemariah could feel all eyes on them. Sure enough, when they turned toward the office, everyone had stopped what they were doing to watch
