This is ridiculous... Shaun thought, staring down again at the black mark on his chest.
So this whole mess about demons and shit was true... just what he needed. It was hard enough surviving in a place with just human beings, now he was going to have to deal with things that were even deadlier.
Instead of freaking out and running away crying like someone else might have done, Shaun just dropped Mavek's wrist and looked him in the eye.

"Fine. Just tell me what we're going to do now. The quicker I finish this job, the better," he told him, his brief freak-out over and done with. This world knew how to throw you for loops, and this was just another test of survival for him. Like everything else he went through he might pass it, or he could very well fail it and his life would end. It was the way things worked here, and he was up for the challenge.
