Liked her, liked her.”

“You've gotta help this girl now."

"What if she doesn't want my help?"

"You gave her a new life , and when she saw you again she hugged you. Trust me, this is not a girl who forgets a debt. At first she'll be hanging around you trying to figure out how to pay the debt off, and that's when you'll wheedle your way in."

"There's no shame in the wheedle"

"Really? Because I feel like there should be a little shame.”

Vig crouched by Jace, smiled at her. “What’s trying to get in, Jace?”
“An ancient power. A very old god that is very pissed off. And if we don’t work together, and stop it . . . it’ll lay waste to everything.”
The silence that followed Jace’s proclamation was brutal, but then she suddenly jumped up, startling them.
“Okay. ’Night, guys!” She waved and walked off with her new dog.

As Vig walked around the front of his vehicle, he grabbed Steig by the hair and slammed him face-first into the hood.”
