Sawyer scowled as he stood, too, clearly just as unimpressed with the idea. "I'm sure Eddie has some books in his library about summoning a demon who can get a message to him, but we can't be there when you do."

I smiled. "It doesn't change the fact that the devil's a sexist pig. You guys have work to do anyway, so I'll go dance with the devil, but..."

"We'll keep an eye on the woodshed," Sawyer promised.
