Chapter 220
"Asmodeus?" Rohan dropped the stuff onto the rabbi's desk, but didn't tear his eyes off the artwork. "Does Malik know you killed Asmodeus? Is this some kind of message?"
"It didn't come up in conversation but Malik makes it his business to know things and Ari is a topic near and dear to him these days. It's possible he knows what happened."
Malik hadn't lied about painting this because his signature was legible in the corner. But of all the paintings in all the world, why have me get this one?
"Who are Asmodeus's parents?" I said. "Who would come after me for killing their son?"
Rohan didn't know either, but there was someone who might. It was worth the long distance charges on my burner. "Rabbi Abrams?" he said. "Nava and I need your help." He described the painting to the rabbi, providing specific details at the rabbi's prompting. Rohan's expression grew grimmer and grimmer. "Yes, Rabbi. Thank you."
