Now that Reyes has been proven innocent of killing his "father", how do you think he will live once he's legally FREE? What will he do first and second and third and...well, you know the drill :D

He was imprisoned so young that I imagine he doesn't know a lot about house cleaning or cooking, it's fun to imagine him shopping for this sort of thing and trying to figure out how everything works. He'll have to get a job, probably one that he doesn't need to show up so he can continue fighting demons samurai style.

So I'd say find an apartment, get back in contact with Kim - or maybe not if he fears the demons will get to her - and have long showers to sort his life out. Think about Charley. Think about Charley a lot!

Hopefully he is able to receive some sort of retebution from the government for being incarcerated for a crime he never committed. Then, he can turn that money into millions through investments like he did for his best friend and his wife. He could live off of the interest and worry only about Charley and fighting the demons.

Also, I believe he would purchase a new man cave. Most likely a condo with a custom marble shower built for two: two removable shower heads, rain head shower heads, and tons of massaging sprays heads lining two opposing walls. Of course, his bathroom would not be complete without a two person hot tub. With the shower and hot tub, his man cave is ready for some great lovin'.

No alpha is complete without wheels and our guy has got to have a Hemi. His garage will have the fastest and the toughest with a manly 4 x 4 and a hot sports car.

Now he needs to grovel. His condo has a kitchen chefs would die for. For the second step (the first must be him getting down on his knees and begging forgiveness) to wooing Charley, he will cook and bake her meals in this dream kitchen with the ability of a 5 star chef. Let's face it Reyes can do everything perfectly....

I have a feeling that Reyes is already going to have a nice nest egg hidden away from investments that he had Armador and Bianca make for him (He gave a lot of the money from Elaine to them for their investments, but he had them invest some for him as well...either that or they did it for him without him knowing). That way he doesn't have to work and he can focus on guarding Charley from the demons.

I love Mel's idea for his man cave and to die for bathroom!!!!

He needs to splurge on a kick a$$ truck that Charley is SO going to want to drive.

I love all your ideas!

Wish list:
- Smart investment wealth. Check.
- Steamy-dreamy bathroom. Check.
- Rockin' tricked out, hot truck. Check.
- Man cave. Check.
- Gourmet kitchen where he can show Charley some out-of-bedroom skillz. Check.

At the same time, I can also see Reyes moving into a dump of an apartment. He may be a prince of hell, but he had a crappy childhood on earth, and may not feel he deserves a nice place. Or... maybe he'll move in with Kim until he finds his own place?!? Although he may not want to endanger her, at least yet...

I think that Reyes will be spending a lot of time fighting off demons behind the scenes, which of course will annoy Charley because she doesn't want protection and wants to fight her own battles.

I see Reyes testing Charley to get her to discover her abilities. I think they'll hook up, then they'll fight. Rinse and repeat. ;-)

Ok, he is the son of Satan, right? He can have what ever he wants girls. If he needs money, he now knows what he is and he can make just about anything happen, but.... He will not go there, he doesn't want any part of his old life, he was reborn for one reason and he doesn't want to taint any part of his new life with elements of his past. He'll keep his powers b/c it's the only way to insure that he can protect Charley if the need arises, but.....here's what I think he may do.

1- He will get his own apt, most likely a studio. It's going to take a while for his human side to assess his new found freedom. Living on the outside is like living on a different planet for him. He'll spend a lot of time staring at the four walls and thinking of his star.

2 - He will most likely get a part time job freelancing as a computer medic, fixing peep's computers, but on his down time he is investing the money he earned while being locked up and the numbers are adding up quite nicely. He is planning a future, the future he had set up for himself before being born on the human realm. He will have what he set out to conquer, he is a master strategist.

3- He sits at home and is trying to figure out what his next step will be for getting Charley back. She's the reason for his existence in this plane, he has to have her. The general has never been denied, he can't wrap his mind around it. Just as she can hear his heartbeat, Reyes too allows the sound of Charley's heartbeat to be the balm to his yearning. Just knowing that she is alive, considering all that is out there trying to find her, allows him to wait patiently until he will be with her again, or more than likely allow a general time to plan his next siege, Charley's heart.

everyone's ideas...keep 'em coming! The man cave cracks me up. Ever known a man cave that didn't need a maid? Men with man caves do not know how to pick up after themselves...and Charley is not so neat either. Could get interesting :D

Forgot the maid...I need one too.!

I like the fact that there's a lot of space of big showers in most ideias! Hehe

I still think he'll try to work on something part-time like, even with the money he probably has plus the money Kim wants Charley to give him. Maybe he'll get Elaine Oakes to do the cleaning ;)

Put Elaine and Charley in the same room together and I guarantee Charley will snatch her hair out...and break her nose...and shoot her...twice!

That scene will achieve epic moments! ;)

omg! what if he moves in with Elaine?!?

Stephanie wrote: "omg! what if he moves in with Elaine?!?"

With him already in the dog house...he would be digging his own grave!

...and then he'd go straight to Hell and he don't want that!!!

Oh, yeah!!!!

I like all of the ideas above! Especially having a gihugic shower in his new crib. :-)

A lot of you guys said that he'll grovel to Charley for forgiveness. I really don't see that happening. Reyes, the super hot son of satan would never grovel. Though he might give her a besceeching look or 2...and maybe a tumble in the sheets.

Oh trust me Lisa....he's gonna have to do some major a$$ kissing to get back on Charley's good side. I mean, 1st Reyes, then Leland. She needs to make sure they understand just exactly who they're messing with!

well i wouldn't call it groveling, more like persuasion with the eyes and...y'know ;]

I think he'll be hiding out at his best friends house. I can't remember their names but they loved Reyes.I think all the fan girls will be after him and he doesn't want to be in the public eye.

Amador Sanchez...check out this cool website!
http://wickedscribedaryndajones.wordp... I think he needs to RUN from stalker Elaine. That woman is SCARY!!!

Cindy, I feel so dumb but I don't see her on the list?

Cher wrote: "Cindy, I feel so dumb but I don't see her on the list?"

You are NOT DUMB!!! Went back and checked...not there...so I left a comment. Will check back to see if she updates it :)

thanks Cindy. I thought I was totally missing it.Thanks for the link

Cher wrote: "thanks Cindy. I thought I was totally missing it.Thanks for the link"

Cher, I could not remember her name either. I checked the list and noticed she was not there. I needed it for the word puzzle.

Artemis was a Virgin Huntress; the Greeks called her the Huntress of Souls. Which is the Italian translation of Second Grave on the Left.

*SPOILER*
I just finished reading the first three books and I'm hooked! I don't necessarily see Reyes groveling and then again, while what he did was wrong, Charley is no saint either. I mean she did bind him to his body, which I think he took fairly well (actually kind of surprised that he didn't stay mad at her longer).

I would be interested to see how he tries to protect her in the future - ie as the Big Bad or as his real self (frankly he seems more powerful and not subject to the law as Big Bad) especially since she wants him out of her life (per the 4th book's description)

I think there might be some more development between Charley and Donovan, if only to give Reyes competition but of course the romantic in me wants to see her with Reyes. And come on? What mortal man can compete with the son of Satan, even if he can't do the dishes?
