"Alright, I won't say anything—promise." Alexei raised both hands in surrender, then immediately dropped them back on the steering wheel before Elijah could scold him.
"So this rebirth… I'm guessing some idiot is trying to reincarnate someone, and he's using humans as sacrifices?"
Elijah hummed. "A colleague sent us the address of the victim. We need to talk to him."
"And how do you plan on doing that?"
Alexei snorted and then mimicked Elijah's nearly soulless voice. "Hello, sir, sorry for your loss, but we're two students hunting the motherfucker who cleaned out your family's gut like a hungry kid eats chocolate."
"I will do the talking. You just have to stay with me."
"Always, Solnyshko."
"What does it mean?" Elijah had wanted to ask for a long time.
"What?"
"That name you call me by. What does it mean?"
"Oh, that," Alexei turned to look at Elijah and then smirked. "I'll tell you if you let me kiss you."
"You already did."
