Another great Mike Rawlins read. Spoiler alert.
This one starts with Demon and Mongo debating a new movie. A movie that none of them liked. Demon tells Mongo they will go and review the Midnight Ride or Loretta Revere. Demon and Mongo are in charge of the morality at Demon Inc. The video will show Loretta riding Mike Rawlins. The video is in their Archive of lost Souls like many others. Of course Mike didn't mind the sex at all but knows Loretta won't be staying at Demon Inc. She's not the type to see what they really do. He doesn't care if she ever shows up at Demon Inc. again.
Mike gets a call from Tom Huang a San Leandro police officer. He tells Mike three men kidnapped two fifteen year old girls, raped the, and parties. One of the girls escaped and is incoherent at the SAn Jose Hospital frightened out of her mind. Two officers from San Jose, Natallia and Gilmer need some Demon Inc. type help
Mike, Mongo, Demon and Sandy will be picked up by Huang and his partner and they will head for the hospital where Maria, the escaped girl is. . Sandy will be opening a portal to the Radalia dimension which is where the three losers will be going permanently.
At the hospital Mike enters Maria's mind and finds out all he can. Where to find the three idiots was his top priority. Of course he did find out and he and his Demon Inc. crew cleaned house and set the three to the Radalia dimension and saved Deena the other girl. Just another day for Demon Inc.
Mike still attends high school and it seems every time he gets there some protest or other is taking place. The one this day is against the NRA. The head of the protest is Gavid Sogg. Mike just shakes his head when Sogg approaches him calling a racist and a homophobe. Mike tells him the 2nd amendment and the NIRA are the only entities we have in defense of trolls like him. Sogg tries to hit him with a sign and Denny kicks him right in the ribs.
Another protester pulls out a spray bottle from a cooler, Mike took it out of his hands and made the bottle spray those behind him. The protestors broke and ran.
Once in school Mike and his team are approached by three men and a girl who looks young enough to be a student. The girl introduces herself as Ella Santos who is the new Miss Teenage America.
Santos wants to join Demon Inc. and Mike tells her they don't take applications. Santos points at Sandy and wants to know how she got on the team. Mike tells her it was nothing sexual and that the real answer is classified.
Santos tells Mike that with her name recognition and sponsors they could make a lot of money. She also tells Mike that she's heard rumors that he can read minds and destroy demons and that she doesn't believe a word of it. She tells him that with TV time on his fantasy paranormal show would help with her visibility. She has sponsors who would pay Demon Inc. a lot of money to get her onto the team. They would be able to sell their products with her as their marketing agent and it would be a win win situation for all.
Mike tells her the answer is no and he thanked her for her kind offer. The men with her were body guards that the sponsors insisted accompany Santos. She isn't happy, turns on her heel and leaves. Mike and his team went back to their lunch.
Little did Mike know it wasn't over. A short time later he got a call from Steve Corbett the man who handled all their contacts with Syfy and marketing. Corbett asks Mike if he just blew off Santos and Mike tells him yes. Corbett wants to know why. Mike asks him if his memory is failing and reminds him of the many close encounters the team has had and how they are all highly trained to do what they do.
Corbett tells Mike Santos could be the face of Demon Inc. not a soldier. She could produce the commercials for the products they could sell and she would be paying them, not the other way around.
Mike isn't convinced but he puts it to a vote. A vote at Demon Inc. A vote he thought he would win but surprise others thought it was a good idea and a money maker for Demon Inc. Mike knew there would be problems chief among them a Santos who thought she could get into Mikes bed.
So begins a pretty damned good read.
This one has Mike, Demon, Mongo, Denny, Gail, Stan, Janis, Sandy, Joanie, Naz, Grant, Santos, a Santos who quickly learns she won't be bedding Mike, a Santo who quickly learns that what Demon Inc. does is as real as real can be, a Santos who is surprisingly good at marketing, a Mike who still doesn't like her along on any missions they may have, a Santos who wants Mike to make a producer chose her over everyone else for movie and TV parts, a Mike who laughs in her face, a Santos who says if her demands aren't met then she's out, a Joanie who laughs at her and tells her Mike could rearrange her chromosomes and turn her into a pet poodle, the rest of the team that laughs at her, a Santos who eventually will prove what a brilliant marketer she is, three Muslims who want to fight Mike, a Mike who knows its a trap, Jinns, a new breed of haunts and Mike and his team doing their best to save their dimension.
