“Well, aren’t you a good wittle doggie, Ogen?” I said. “You know how to sit, stay, and hush even better than Lark’s wolves.”

He stared, disbelieving that I’d just insulted him like that. “I am the DESECRATOR! I sit upon Lucifer’s knee!”

“That makes total sense, Scooby.”

With a puzzled expression, Death said, “You taunt him at your peril.”

“What’s he going to do? Kill me?” Over my shoulder I told Ogen, “Get in line, dick.”

You sound almost admiring.

—Jack is . . . unexpected.—

Unexpected? That was something for a psychic to say. Even I didn’t know what Jack would do if his back was against the wall.”
