“Are you telling me that you think this is a bad idea?” If Gage said it wouldn’t work well, then Axel wouldn’t do it. He trusted his friend.

“No, it is fine. Actually, it is the next step. All the other plants we’ve been trying to put in there have failed. It seems only right that one of us seven should go. But I don’t think it should be you. At least, I don’t think it has to be you. Let me go.” He argued.

To be honest, Axel had thought about this before. But he ruled it out. Gage was more force than deceitful. He wouldn’t be able to pull it off.

“I can see your horror. And sure, I would suck. What about one of the people we have on hold? What about Thane or Adrian? They owe us favors still.”

They did but… “I haven’t been able to get them in the last 24 hours. And before that Adrian told me to shove my offers. Remember?”

Gage nodded. “You went into the field months ago, too. This isn’t just about this one job.”

No, it wasn’t.

He had started this group with the purpose of being helpful. Of making a difference. Axel was a Warrior Angel, and was born to fight.

He couldn’t watch from a distance. He couldn’t just sit back and allow others to handle everything. “I need to be doing something.”

“So, you’re going.”

Axel nodded. “I will start undercover, apply after a few weeks, and see if they take the bait. Eden will provide me with a deep cover with good backstopping.” The fake identity needed to hold up to close scrutiny. That meant that the invented background had to look realistic and perfect!

From there, he’d be on his own.

Mostly.

Shit-toaster!

If he ever had to stay silent that long again, he’d shoot himself. Sin wanted to talk, to curse and to express himself. And he had a damn right to do just that!

But no, Thane, master of all that is holy, wanted him quiet while they trained Phie. Not that they trained her very much. Hell, all they did was try to work on her reflexes a little. There was no point showing her anything huge until she could react with it quickly enough.

And really, Sin wasn’t going to complain. It meant that he could touch her a whole hell of a lot! So, he couldn’t grope her like he wanted to, or play with her pretty clit, he still got to get his paws on her delicate skin. And boy was it ever soft! He could get off just touching her.

Maybe that’s what he’d do next. They could go back to their cave and he could tie her to the bed and just rub on her. Then maybe he’d finally get in her. It was his turn, damn it!

Okay, so he should have been focusing on what was going on outside the cave, not about the torrid, delicious details going on inside his head, but who could resist? Certainly not him.

He never denied himself anything! But this time he should have, because just after they left the practice area, just as they turned the corner, he almost walked into a pair of Plate Faces.

Obviously, those weren’t their real names, but their heads were round on the top, and thin, only to narrow down into thinner jaws. They were tall, skinny and slightly green. Which is probably where American’s got the concept of their aliens.

It also doesn’t help that they talked in clicking noises. At least it sounded like clicks to Sin, although he was created with the ability to know all the languages that had existed at the time. Even Demon ones.

If only they taught him AEL or ASE or whatever it was that Phie used!

The Demon closest held out his hands, his three long thin fingers spread out in a sign of surrender. Adrian knew better though, and pulled out his knives, keeping himself in front of Sophie.

The last thing he needed was for it to touch her. Plate Demons were considered High Demons, but they weren’t really that dangerous. They didn’t bite or anything, but their fingertips contained a chemical that induced hallucination and seizers. It made it so that the Demons could run away, but it also left a person in some deep shit.

He clicked back a response, telling the fucker to back away. It should know that it was outnumbered and out skilled. They didn’t tend to attack things bigger than they were. And although it was seven feet tall, it was scrawny.

The second being took a few hesitant steps backwards before turning and fleeing. Another thing those tall thin bodies were good for was running. And he was sure that he wouldn’t see that fucker again.

Unfortunately the one closest wasn’t so accommodating, and hell, he didn’t expect it to be. They were Demons for fuck’s sake.

Why were they so close to Sin and Thane’s cave? High Demons usually stayed back in Inner Hell. They were smarter, more collective. More like people.

This Demon was here for a reason.

And it focused its huge black eyes over Sin’s shoulder and bared his sharp yellowed teeth at Sophie.

Oh hell no!

Sin didn’t even look back as he heard her suck in a breath. He knew that Thane would be putting her behind him, protecting her. He didn’t need to look to know that his partner would do everything he could to keep her from harm.

The walls were to close together in this section of tunnel. Too small for Thane to use his big sword.

No, Sin didn’t even think, just reached out with his right arm, his hand tightening on the knife, and plunged it directly into the Demon’s belly. The thing didn’t even react, just stood there unmoving as green ooze and other
