Summary
They’re playing a game, right? And games have rules. What’s frustrating Scratch is when Wake bends the rules, much like he bends reality to give him what he needs to survive.
It’s when Wake begins to realize exactly how little control Scratch has over the rules in the first place that Scratch starts to get scared too.

Summary
Why does he keep bringing Saint along? Why call and invite him to New Mexico? Why go to Kenway or the Queen Mary together? He’s known this whole time that eventually Agent Gray would find out that Alister had a tag-along exorcist and wouldn’t be happy about it. Saint is good at his job, sure, but so is literally everyone Alister works with. He hasn’t even particularly needed an exorcist, except for the Queen Mary and that ghost didn’t even turn out to be real. He’s driving through a couple states with a man who doesn’t like him and who his bosses would be unhappy to know was there. Where’s the benefit?
If he was more sentimental, Alister would maybe think it’s because he’s tired of working alone, but he’s been some kind or another of alone his whole life so it’s not like this is new. If anything, the risk of interpersonal issues is rarely worth the help he gets from another set of hands, as he is currently well aware. The crumpled receipt with two coffees and two sandwiches on it is burning a hole in his pocket. He takes a deep breath.
---
A look at the road trip that takes place between 4.13 and 5.01; Alister thinks his way through the world's most awkward car ride.

Summary
The turn of a hand reveals Death, in the upright position, and the Gunslinger frowns.
"You're not going to die." The Soldier says, running a thumb along the folded edge of the card. "New beginnings, kid. Transformation. Change."
"Bullshit." The Alchemist says, and laughs when the Soldier elbows her ribs.
"Superstition." The Archer adds, the hint of a smile around his mouth. He pauses in fletching an arrow to lean forward anyway.
"We deal in superstition and bullshit. " The Soldier turns the last card. A man surrounded by nine cups. "That's all we do. That's all anything is."

Summary
“How many times can you dig another man's grave before someone digs yours, Reyes?”
Gabriel stops cold. He turns slowly, and looks at Jesse, who is looking right back at him. He’s still sitting halfway in the grave with his face lit by the glow of the flashlight. Gabriel can’t read his expression.
“Is that a threat, boy?”
Jesse looks away first, then begins to stand. He walks to the hearse and only stops after he’s wrestled the back open.
“It’s a concern, Captain. I’d hate to see a man die twice.”
