The Devil's Backbone (A Niki Slobodian Novel: Book Five) - Plot & Excerpts
said Gage. He was trying to stay calm, but I could tell he was scared. Whether he was scared for me, or scared of me I wasn’t sure I wanted to know. “No idea,” I said. My voice did not sound like my own. It sounded like someone weak, someone small. “I really don’t, Bobby. I don’t know what this is.” I met his eyes. “Why? Why is it always something? Why is it always me?” “You saved my life?” he said. “I don’t know,” I said. “Maybe.” “How?” “I don’t know.” “Bullshit, Niki. How?” I shook my head, a sharp twinge behind my eyes. “What’s happened?” he said. He was getting angry. Scared-angry. “Tell me.” I nodded. “Okay, Bobby. Sit down.” I sat on the shining black stone. We were standing on the top of Lucifer’s tower. I’d been able to get us here, but it felt as though it was a very close thing. As if, had it been ten seconds later, I would have lost both of us in the Unsung. Gage sat with his back to the tower, leaning against it, weakened by whatever Aki had done to him.
