I swore again and stalked out of the building. Jak's red Honda pulled up a heartbeat later, and I quickly climbed in.
He glanced at me as he pulled away from the curb. "You look like a woman with a problem."
"Yeah, and it's a universal one called men."
He grinned. "May I point out that we males think much the same about you females?"
"When you're not trying to get into our pants, you mean?"
His grin grew. "Even when we're trying to get into them. So who's trying to get into yours?"
I crossed my arms. "No one."
"That is a problem, I agree."
I snorted and whacked his arm. "That's not what I'm annoyed about."
"Then what's upset you? You were fine when I left to get the car. What happened in the five minutes it took me to get back here? Did the wiring attack again?" He hesitated, his brief glance shrewd. "It's to do with your reaper, isn't it?"
"Yeah. I banished him – justifiably, I might add – but I wish I hadn't."
"Then unbanish him."
"It's not that simple."
"Why not?"
