It was a mark of just how daggered Corrival had been over the day that Solomon and Dexter were bantering as easily as any of the Dead Men did. It made Erskine laugh as they entered Solomon's office, where a computer was indeed set up and looked like it could do a whole lot more than just surfing the internet.

It didn't take long at all for Erskine to lean over Dexter's shoulder and take over the keyboard, rolling his eyes and shaking his head. "Honestly, Dex, you are a total loss. Samhain, Samhain... Solomon, aren't you supposed to have voice-activated technology? Oh, wait, here we go." The Google search page came up, and without clicking any of the links, Erskine was already reading off information.

"Okay, Samhain is a Gaelic festival marking the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter, or the "darker half," of the year. Usually around the 31st of October, surprise surprise. It has its beginnings in an ancient, pre-Christian Celtic festival of the dead. Sometimes called Day of the Dead, the origin of Halloween... Samhain's a special type of demon that reigned on Earth during that day, it looks like. Oh, and it's also an American rock band formed in 1983."
