"What happened in there?" asked a young man, who was standing nearby. "I heard that a devil was arrested."
"That's right," Suzie said.
"Wow. How did you guys get away? Did he do anything really bad to you?"
"Um ... not really bad," I lied.
"Really? Because I heard that devils put players through hell." He peered down at Suzie's guide. "Hey. Did you know that you can keep a journal on those?" he said, nodding towards her guide. "That way you can keep track of places you've been and people you've met and access the information easily, without having to remember all of it."
"Really?"
"Yeah. Give it to me and I can show you."
"No!" Suzie and me said at the same time.
The guy looked startled. "Okay. Fine." And he walked away.
It was probably mean how we treated him. But after our run-in with Mel, we didn't want to take any chances.
