"We have the corpse.  It should...."  Sebastian, looking down at the demon, realized that they might not now be able to bring it back to DHHQ.  Now that some of it was gone, the rest was degrading, too.  Not quickly, but it was much more delicate than before.  "Oops."

He estimated that it was about four hours after midnight, probably safer to travel now.  "Should we head back?  I don't want to wake Ethan, but if we let him rest, he might not wake up until afternoon 'r something.  He seemed really tired.  By then, we might not be able to carry the demon back."
