to make it easy for you to find me.
    Why did you do this? Celeste's voice held a hint of anguish.
    You've never understood, my dear. Almost since the moment we were
banished, you were looking for a way back. I did it because I can.
    This is cruel and wrong, Tomas.
    So was banishing us from Heaven, love. Here on earth, we are gods.
    You are playing at being Him, choosing life or death for your
victims.
    It has never been that simple, Celeste.
    "Celeste?" Adam touched her arm. She was staring out the
window. What was she thinking? Adam wanted to wrap his arms tightly around her.
His body thought it was a good idea. No matter how strong she seemed on the
outside, there was a fragile peace held inside her soul. He longed to get close
and see if it would calm his heart.
    All of his life, Adam had fought to survive. He had stayed away
from using drugs because he saw how it ruined lives, but being the hypocrite he
admittedly was, he'd sold them. It was the only way to make a living. Slowly,
he had made his way through the ranks of the criminal underworld. Then he was
recruited into the Demons. When he became their leader, he turned the gang into
a business. Soon, he had everything he wanted—money, power and respect. Who
cared if the only reason he had any of it was because people feared him? It was
better to have them fear him than to have any of them as friends.
    Then Celeste had strolled into the mayor's office. His cock had
taken notice right away of her firm tits and luscious ass. His mind had found
an equal in the quickness of her wit and intelligence. His heart had fallen in
love with all of those things plus the gentleness of spirit hidden beneath the
hard shell she presented to the world.
    "Celeste?" He tried again.
    She jerked and looked at him. "What?"
    "Where did you go?"
    "What are you talking about?"
    "One moment you were here. The next you're staring like a
zombie out the window."
    "I was thinking about something." Celeste pulled out
onto Woodward Ave. She was heading towards the river.
    Adam's phone rang. "Montgomery."
    "There was a hockey game last night." Jakar said.
    "So?"
    "The woman was seen at the game."
    "Holy shit. Don't tell me one of the Red Wings is a serial
killer." Adam was appalled.
    "No. He picks them up at the games. The last victim's friends
reported her missing this morning. They saw her leave with a tall man who might
have been blonde."
    "Any other description?"
    "That's all our contact could tell us right now. There didn't
seem to be any kind of argument or anything. Nothing to draw attention to them.
But no one can give a good description of him."
    "Damn! Keep our guys out looking. Someone had to have seen
something." Adam hung up. He looked at Celeste. "He's picking them up
at Joe Louis Arena. Weren't the other ones found the day after a hockey game as
well?"
    "So far the deaths correspond with the hockey games. She was
probably drunk and wasn't worried about going with him. That he didn't seem
scary or strange is probably what she would say if she wasn't dead."
    "None of them seem strange until you're tied up and being
hacked to death."
    Celeste headed towards the rink. She nodded. "If all the
killers, rapists and molesters of the world looked like they truly were inside,
no one would ever be fooled."
    Adam sank into silence.
    * * * *
    They stood outside the arena. Celeste looked around, trying to
find a trace of the killer. Her attention was divided between Adam and Tomas.
Adam kept her nipples at attention. Her skin felt hot and itchy. She wanted
him. She couldn't go an hour without remembering his mouth on hers, his body
pressed against hers and his cock ramming into her pussy.
    There was no one around. Celeste grabbed Adam's arm and pulled him
into a hidden corner. Wrapping her arms around his neck, she kissed him
fiercely.
    "Celeste, wait." Adam pulled away slightly.
"Someone might see us."
    "I know. That's part of the fun. So what if we're seen? You
don't want anyone to see your
