anything she could comprehend.
 If my husband ran around on me, I d want him to burn in Hell,
one female reporter offered.
 Not if you love him, Dayne said.  Your own hurt is
temporary. Hell s pain was eternal. She brightened.  But not now.
Now there is hope even in Hell.

Chapter 24
Lucifer did not take kindly to Dayne s interference. Defections
from Hell s ranks of suffering damnedsouls had been high
before people who discovered Hell was a real place were often
quick to repent but the news of Dayne s pointless, redundant do-
gooder intervention had indeed spread hope even to the depths of
the Pit, and numbers of repenters were surpassing numbers of new
meat for the first time in millennia.
Lucifer drummed his talons on the red lacquer surface of his
desk and glared. Agonostis was, as far as he could tell,
approaching the matter of Dayne s damnation with intelligence and
efficiency and he was doing yeoman work setting up Hell s
branch office upstairs, too.
But Lucifer wanted a fail-safe. He wasn t sure what form this
fail-safe should take; however, he did have an idea of who ought to
be given the job of backing up Agonostis.
He paged Pitchblende, and when the demon appeared, he said,
 Find Jezerael and bring her here. I have an assignment for her.
When Jezerael arrived, Lucifer greeted her coldly.  Your enemy
does well in his assignment on Earth.
Jezerael said nothing.
 I think he shall, if he succeeds in his work there, become my
unquestioned second in command and I think you shall become
his servant. Lucifer saw Jezerael s eyes turn vicious and hard.
Still she said nothing; her control was superb.  I might offer you a
chance to win the role I would give to him . . . if you dare take it.
 I ll take it, she snarled.

 Yes. I thought you would. If you would be my second, and
have Agonostis as your slave, bring me the soul of Dayne Kuttner
before Agonostis can get it. You ll go up to Earth, you ll follow
the rules there. . . .
 I thought the total number of Hellspawn who could go to the
surface were already there.
 We have had one or two . . . little accidents. There are
openings. I ll slide you into one of them. Lucifer shrugged.
 You ll find yourself bound by the rules. You ll also still be
responsible for improving the Lust and Fornication department
anything you personally do on the surface will count toward your
numbers. You can t count the other Hellspawn s activities, I m
afraid. Agonostis will get all the credit for that.
 I don t care. I can make it work. And I can get Dayne Kuttner s
soul, too.
 Let s hope so. Things will be quite unpleasant for you if you
don t Agonostis will surely see to that. You have an hour to
prepare. Make the most of your time.

Chapter 25
Jezerael studied the computerized notes about Dayne Kuttner
and compared them with details about Agonostis movements. She
read the bio in slow-time, went over informed speculation about
why Dayne had made the prayer she had . . . and then she looked
with careful attention to detail at Lucifer s annotations on the spy s
reports of her archenemy s approach to the problem of Dayne
Kuttner.
She began to laugh.  The stupid bastard is trying to damn her
with lust . . . with lust! She went without sex from the day her
husband died until the present, and it would be obvious to anyone
but a moron that she simply hasn t wanted to debauch herself
she s had as many opportunities as anyone could. Jezerael leaned
back in her chair and smiled slyly.  I can see now that it s
definitely possible to stay too long in one job, and think the
familiar solutions are the only solutions that can work. Lucky for
me I m broader in thought and clearer in sight than that.
Jezerael had to admit that Dayne was showing interest in
Agonostis cover persona. It wasn t the sort of interest that was
going to land Dayne in Hell at least Jezerael didn t think it was,
but she thought she would be wise to destroy any chance
Agonostis had of finessing Dayne into the corral. Timing would be
very important; she d have to find a moment that would leave
Dayne feeling totally hurt and betrayed. She smiled as the perfect
scenario occurred to her. She d have to see about getting a reliable
spy of her own, so she could keep tabs on Dayne and Agonostis; if
he was any damned good at his job at all, Jezerael s moment would

And then she needed to devise her own plan of seduction.
She didn t know what that would be yet . . . but it would be
something Dayne would find irresistible.

Chapter 26
 Dayne! A tall, dark-haired form pushed his way through the
crowd, and resolved into Adam.
Dayne waved, and watched as the camera lenses turned to focus
on Adam, and noted the curiosity and calculation in the eyes of the
reporters. She could see them formulating their questions as he
approached.
She was tired. She didn t want to answer any more questions.
She d been sitting on the brick and concrete of her front steps as
long as she could stand. She wanted to be up and moving, she
wanted to be someplace quiet and secluded; she didn t want to see
anyone else with a picket sign or a T-shirt with her face on it.
Adam blew by the waiting reporters with a cold, experienced
 no comment, and hurried to her side. He whispered in her ear,  I [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
