Chapter 48 - Sacraments, Demons, And The Person Of Interest
“So...you really think that we…?” Teresa shuttered as she sank down into the couch a little.

“Be the next ones on Garland’s list of sacraments? Yeah, I do.”

They each finished telling each other the stories of their adventures over the past few days in full. While bringing much needed clarity, it seemed to also raise more questions than they had before. He sighed and rubbed his eyes. The lack of any real rest the past few days was eating away at him. But he needed to keep going at least for a little bit longer.

“What now?” She asked him.

He took a moment to respond. “We continue our missions.”

“Missions?”

He nodded. “You should keep trying to get all the info you can from Mister Unknown. And I--I’ll catch Inferus today. See if I can get that thing to talk.”

“You’re going to catch him--or it? Just like that? He’s been like a shadow this whole time.”

“That was before. Now that I know how it’s choosing its victims I figure out the location before it can kill again. I have a friend--Sonny--who still works at the precinct which holds the records of the town's residents. All I have to do his call him and get him to find the next target.”

“You really thought this all through, haven’t you?”

“I’ve had a lot of time to think these past few days.”

“You should take a break every once in awhile. Take a break from the mission that way you don’t run yourself ragged trying to compete it.”

“Taking a break isn’t exactly an option--It hasn’t been for a while.” He told her as he got up and grabbed his coat and gun. I’m gonna go find Zelda and tell her about everything so we can start hunting Inferus down.”

“Don’t.” She said getting up from the sofa and blocking the way to the front door. “Stay and rest here with me.”

“Teresa--” He began to protest but she cut him off.

“You’re running on fumes, David. It’ll make you less able.” She said before checking her phone. “It’s six in the morning. You have all day to wait before Inferus begins to move at nightfall. The only sensible thing to do right now is to rest for a bit to get back your strength so you don’t make some mistake while trying to catch Inferus.”

She was right; he knew she was like most of the time. But he didn’t want to stop. He needed to finish this, regardless of the fact that his weariness might inhibit him. Besides, if he stayed all he would do would be thinking about what it all of those questions raised earlier meant.

“I can’t.” He said. “Even if I did I wouldn’t be able to stop thinking about all this.”

Teresa smiled at him before kissing him. “I think I can help with that.” She then grabbed his hand and led him back to their room, finally getting him to give in.
