insurance and Ginger had to show a house later that afternoon.
    “So, let’s get to that? Try to be happy, you’re all free now and this thing won’t really do much to your lives at all. Go Steve, get ready and get something to eat first. Most important meal of the day and all that. Go, go.” She grinned to soften the orders she’d given, making it seem more like playful advice, which is it was. Of course none of them had a choice, not after they’d made a bargain like they had. One with a Greater Demon too.
    They were, functionally, all her slaves now. More than just that too. If she told them to do something, anything, they had too. Eeep.
    Hopefully Darla wouldn’t kill her for poaching in her territory. She was supposed to ask first. There just hadn’t been a lot of time and… Yeah, well, she’d talk to Darla soon, she could let them out of the deal. She didn’t really know how, but kind of thought it might be as simple as telling them they were free of it. It was innate Demon magic, but it didn’t take any ceremony, not even physical contact, just a sense of agreement was all that was really needed and some kind of action taken showing it. A single word, like yes, would do it.
    They all went along with their business quickly, as if it were their own idea. They did seem pretty happy though and the yelling stopped. It meant that she could get Hally changed into real clothing, a nice skirt and sweater vest arrangement over a deep blue shirt. The skirt was shorter than anything Keeley owned, but looked long compared to the scanty thing they gave the girls to lead cheers in. It was so obviously designed to end up flashing the audience that it was nearly a joke. The cheerleaders all knew it too.
    Freaks.
    Not that Keeley had a problem with them doing it, if that’s what turned them on, but it was still kind of funny. The school district was too conservative to let two guys go to a dance together, but they’d let teen girls dress like an old man’s porn fantasy?
    After that she managed to get everyone off for the day without any problems, and Hally off to school with her. It took an extra twenty minutes, which meant that her mother and Dan were waiting for them in the parking lot of the school, in the visitor’s area, waiting to go in.
    The first bit was easy, just sending Hally off to class. The next part was a bit scary for her, having to face down a school official and explain what the parties were about, who was paying for it, and that local law enforcement was backing them too, to try and keep the kids safe.
    Principle Morton gave her a hard look at first but cracked a smile after a few seconds and volunteered the gym for it. It was tempting, but that was where the kids were for the dance, so it would really end up being thought of as the same party, plus they kind of wanted everyone to be welcome, didn’t they? They decided to use the parks closest to each school for it.
    Or rather Chief Benson did. The man was at work already. She’d seen him at the office at nearly eight the night before and it wasn’t even eight in the morning yet. He certainly had the dedication part down at least.
    Then Morton helped drastically by calling the others schools principles and arranging everything so that she wouldn’t have to go to each one and beg for cooperation.
    It wasn’t until nearly ten that they got to leave the office though, Sherry smiling hugely.
    “You did wonderfully Keeley. I thought I was listening to a thirty year old business woman for a while there.” She patted Keeley’s back, which gave hints about what she knew or not. Luckily Keeley had been ready for that and just happened to not “catch” the information. Having information was different than knowing you had it.
    Dan walked along behind them and gestured to his car, a nice silver thing that probably cost more than most houses. The upholstery was black, and the whole thing gleamed in one way or another, even the rubber tires had a bit of
