However, the fire beat you to it.” She spots The Witch riding in the back seat and adds, “Feel free to chime in anytime.” Del looks at Anita in fear, but The Witch simply holds up both middle fingers in response.

| Josh interjects, “I know you’ve seen some things already, but how much of the supernatural do you really want to know?” Del retorts, “I was raised on Santeria and Catholic woo-woo. I’m good. What the fuck is Silas Black?” The hunters all chorus, “We don’t know.” The Academitrix suddenly appears behind Del at 3:30 sharp as she turns back to Veltis and demands, “So are you a succubus? Or an incubus?” Veltis shifts to rat form but still wearing the three-piece suit; he replies, “Technically both. There are no genders in Hell.” Del is suddenly aware of the Academitrix behind her and scrambles out of the way. | Josh interjects, “I know you’ve seen some things already, but how much of the supernatural do you really want to know?” Del retorts, “I was raised on Santeria and Catholic woo-woo.

| Now appearing as a potential Smith student and her guardian, Del and Veltis head for the offices on the third floor while the others position themselves nearby. 5 o’clock passes, and then at 5:05 they hear Del snap, “No, I don’t think //you// understand!” in her best ‘aggravated white lady’ voice. A split-second later, Violet Silverman steps around the corner saying, “Miss, we have surveillance cameras, I’m sure we can find…” and she trails off when she sees the rest of the cell.

Maddened spirit-creatures tore apart four of them, and Smith covered it up. The fifth… well, I wouldn’t call it ‘surviving.’ One of the spirits possessed her and Konstantin captured it. He placed it here, in the warded space, and he still uses it for information on the shapeshifters. There’s nothing left of the poor girl, you understand.
