It's hard for him to hear over the sudden ringing in his ears. He'd been so sure this would work, but what if she's not lying? "Who's your boss? Who holds the contract?"
She shrugs again, deliberately drawing attention to her figure. "No one as cuddly as me, I can tell you that."
"Who is it?" The question cracks through the air like a whip, edged with all the agony and desperation he's feeling. For a second as it hangs there between them, Sam could almost swear he sees a flicker of sympathy in the demon's eyes. She drops her insouciant attitude and shakes her head.
"I can't tell you. I'm sorry, Sam, I really am. But you're going to have to accept that there's no way out. Not this time."
Ice chills his blood, even as his voice hardens. "Then I guess we don't need you."
