we start out in our van with manny leading the way in his car . he just looks at me and freezes . years of hurt simmer in me . she was the only mark to have vanquished the same demon more than once . i was never certain just how much pol had told the various heirs she raised , so i thought it might be best if she and i spoke privately . `` ah , they 're no good , '' foxy said . it would n't matter if we turned back now , surely .
