“Like I told you, my soul was scattered to the four winds by that first demon and was spread out a little more because of a misread favor Rachel did for me. In between sending back demons, I’m gonna find every last piece of my soul. I know I am. I can already feel them calling to me as if those pieces want to be a part of me as much as I need them back to make me whole again. But if you happen to come across a bit of me, I hope you find a way to keep it safe and let me know where I can collect it. Weird, I know.” Mac stood, patted Derek on the shoulder, then pulled the chair back to its ready position.
“I have to get going,” he said. “Not sure where we are headed but I’m pretty sure something will let us know where our next stop will be. Jen feels the same way, too. That we’re guided. At least, that’s what she tells me. She and I, we have a lot of work to do before we can go down in history as one of the great teams, but we belong together. And something tells me that we’ll be fine.
“We have to be. The world depends on it. And no one in this world will ever know just how much they really do depend on us. Except you. You’ll know the truth and I hope you keep it to yourself. Goodbye.”
CHAPTER FORTY-FOUR
They weren’t sure where they were headed but they believed something would guide them to their next destination. Mac silently hoped that their guide would direct them to places where the lost bits of his soul could be recovered, but he also understood there were other pressing matters that he and Jen were called to address.
As if reading his mind, Jen said, “I have a feeling that, wherever we end up going, we’ll find what you need to make you whole again.”
Mac reached over to the passenger’s seat, squeezed Jen’s hand, and said, “I already think I’m a lot closer to being complete than I’ve ever been.”
They drove south for several hours, both feeling refreshed by the emerging spring. As they left Virginia and crossed the North Carolina State line, Jen pressed the button commanding her window to open. She reached her hand out of her window, and floated her hand in the seventy mile per hour breeze.Without saying anything, she extended her fingers towards a road sign up ahead of them. Mac noticed her extended finger, then followed its direction to the sign.
“Looks like we are headed in the wrong direction,” he said.
“Too bad,” Jen said. “I was really looking forward to warm weather.”
The End
Thank you for reading “The Demon Senders.” This novel was born out of a story that a friend of mine told me. His story was about a hitchhiker he picked up late one very cold night. The hitchhiker was, according to my friend, one strange dude, but he wasn’t a demon.
