Kali studied him for a moment before nodding.
"I think you'd like black tea more than the others," she agreed. "It's the strongest, with the most flavor." |
"You normally guess what type of tea people would like?" Harry asked, amused.
|
"Sometimes," Kali admitted. "You don't strike me as someone who would go for green or white tea. Too light and delicate."
|
Harry snorted. Yeah, light and delicate wasn't really his thing.
"I leave the selection up to you." |
Kali grinned and disappeared into the kitchen. About ten minutes later, she came back out with two mugs of tea. She handed the green tea (and she'd even used her good green, rather than the cheap stuff) to Niko, and gave Harry the black tea.
"A little sweet," she said to Harry, "but otherwise just plain black tea." |
Niko took a sip and blinked. Better than he'd expected. "Thank you," he murmured to Kali.
Harry tried his tea too, though he was a little more cautious. He blinked and tried another sip. "It's good." |
Kali just beamed. She liked doing little things like that for people.
|
Christine finally gathered everyone in the living room again after she put dinner on, since she was able to leave it to cook for a while.
"So, has the demon come back into town yet?" She looked expectantly at Crowley. "Yup. Back in the warehouse district again, although different building." |
"Which means that this time, we need to corner it somehow before it can bolt again," Tamara said, switching places with Kali. "The distraction for the minions will tip it off that we're there, so we'll have to be quick."
|
"I bet they can get us around back so the demon can't just run off," Christine said, nodding to Azi and Crowley.
"We could," Crowley said, smirking faintly. "Hypothetically." |
"We can," Azi said, giving Crowley something of a Look.
|
Crowley huffed. "Angel," he said, almost pouting. "You didn't even try to get anything out of them."
Christine hid her snicker and nodded. "Alright, so that will help. Harry will be the distraction out front, we'll be out back so he can't run." |
Tamara was quiet for a moment before nodding.
"Bahiti volunteers to help with the distraction," she said. |
Harry blinked and looked at her. "She sure about that? There will be pyrotechnics and lots of running involved."
|
Tamara shrugged.
"Kali told you Bahiti would get a kick out of the fireworks," she pointed out. "And of the three of us, she's in the best physical shape." |
Harry nodded. "Alright," he agreed. "I don't mind, then."
|
Tamara nodded and turned back too the others, waiting to see what they said.
Cal glanced at his brother. He'd follow whatever Nik decided to do. |
"We'll take the back," Nik said. Because leaving those three to cover the back did not sound like a good idea to him.
Christine nodded, glancing at Cal before looking at the group in general again. "So when do we want to set our plan in action?" |
"Now?" Cal muttered. He just wanted to get this overwith so they could go home. Although, if he was honest, he kind of liked it here. Things were... well, while not necessarily 'nice', things weren't bad.
|
Christine looked at him a moment before she shrugged. "Any objections to going now?"
"Besides the sheer insanity of this?" Crowley snorted. |
"Let's just get this done," Cal finally said. "What are we waiting for?"
|
"Alright, everyone go get in cars so we can get over there," Christine ordered, getting up and moving into the kitchen to turn off the oven for the moment before grabbing her things so she'd be ready to go.
Harry glanced at Tamara, getting up and raising an eyebrow. "You going to ride over there with me?" |
Tamara gave control over to Bahiti, who nodded.
"Let's go," she said. |
Harry led the way over to his car while Christine ushered the brothers into her car. Crowley said they'd meet the others there and vanished with Azi, leaving Christine to make a face at where he'd been.
|
Bahiti folded herself into the itty bitty Beetle and waited for Harry and Mouse to get in.
Cal got into the back seat of Christine's car without a word. At this point, he wasn't going to fight about not getting the front seat. |
