That was weird.
Sariel exchanged a confused glance with Seymour, and he slowly rose from the table when Mr. Heiss came by. “Mr. Heiss?”
“What?” Mr. Heiss jumped as if startled and gawked at Sariel without recognition for a long, awkward moment. “Ah! Wait. Yes. My angel. Hello, Sariel.”
Sariel frowned. “Are you all right, master? You appear troubled.”
“Me? Oh, I’m fine.” Mr. Heiss smiled. “Totally fine.” He cleared his throat and pointed at Sariel’s seat. “You. Go on and sit back down. Right now.”
Sariel tilted his head.
“Did you hear me?” Mr. Heiss demanded, his tone much firmer now. “I gave you an order. Sit down, angel.”
Sariel narrowed his eyes and slowly said, “No.”
“No?”
“No?” Seymour echoed, now up on his feet.
“No,” Sariel confirmed.
Seymour had no idea what the hell Sariel was up to, but there had to be a good reason he was disobeying Mr. Heiss. Seymourknew from personal experience that being snarky with a demon didn’t end well, so Seymour had to hope Sariel knew what the hell he was doing.
Maybe the orgasms had rewired his brain or something.
“What the fuck, Sariel?” Seymour asked out of the side of his mouth.
Sariel scowled. “This is not Mr. Heiss.”
“Huh?”
“I know my master, and I am telling you that is animposter.”
CHAPTER
SIXTEEN
Imposter? Ha!” Mr. Heiss coughed, shaking his head frantically as part of his face melted into black goo. He grabbed his cheek and tried to literally hold himself together. “That’s ridiculous! Absolutely ridiculous!”
“Oh, hell to the no.” Seymour glared. “That’s thesquawk!”
“Squonk,” Sariel corrected.
“Whatever!”
Mr. Heiss let out a squeal, turned around, and ran toward the front door. He screamed, his voice high enough for most dogs to hear as he shouted, “No! No, not again!”
“That fucker!” Seymour didn’t hesitate to leap away from the table and give chase, ducking through the crowd to pursue Pod Mr. Heiss.
“Seymour!” Sariel scolded as he fell into step behind him. “What are you doing?”
“Chasin’ his ass!”
“Wait for me!” Day cried.
Seymour nearly stumbled as a large ball of calico fur landed on his shoulder. “Oof, hi!”
“Don’t let him get away!” Day hissed. “We will destroy him!”
