"Surprised I let him tag along, honestly," Marcus says, laughing softly. "He was a talented exorcist, but a pain in my ass."
But he had seen something in Tomas, that's the truth. Tomas had help from Angela, from her family, but Marcus knows first hand how angry and vengeful that demon had been. How difficult it had been to pry it from Casey and then it hadn't even really been him doing the work. The damn thing had just jumped, wanting Angela all along. Even with Angela's help, Marcus knows what Tomas did was a hell of a thing.
"She did, though," he says. "She had me and others who cared about her. Her foster siblings. A social worker, as far as she was able to tell me. Her foster father seemed to love them all a great deal, too. He'd lost his wife recently, though, she died by suicide and I think... well. Sometimes there are things the mind doesn't recover from."
