"Freedom is not free."
A ceiling fan slowly rotated slowly in a futile attempt to cool down the shop during a hot summer day. Sitting in a chair behind a desk was a man with silver hair despite likely being in his 20's. He sighed and proceeded to get up and walk to a door near his desk as the phone on his desk rang. The man walked back to the chair and let gravity seat him while kicking the phone, causing it to fly into his right hand. Immediately putting the phone to his ear, the man said "Devil May Cry.", The man on the other end of the phone then responed "Devils Never Cry". The man sighed and said "Oh good, you know the password, What do ya have for me?" The other end responded "A Job, trust me it will pay well but I can't discuss the details over the phone, but I can bother you to prepare and not go off somewhere as this job will pay handsomly, I take it I'm speaking to Dante?" Dante let out another sigh and said "Yes you are, get to the point before I hang up" The man on the other end then said "I need a few demons killed and I'm going to pay you 30,000 dollars for the job, and cover all of your debts, and believe me, I have the financial resources to do so, be ready when I get there tommorow." Before Dante could respond the other end hanged up, Dante threw the phone back onto it's hook and sighed, then grinned, saying to himself "All my debts eh, my debt with Lady is pretty steep, mabye he'll take it on for me if he can't pay it in full, heh."
The next morning
Dante was lazing on the couch closest to his Desk with a magazine covering his face, appearing asleep when the door was opened by a young Japanese man in a white trench coat, having brown hair and brown eyes. The man stared at Dante before sighing, then saying "Looks like the rumors are true, you don't give much of a care for just about anything do you?" Dante pulled the magazine off his head and sat up, sighing before saying "So what is this job that you could'nt discuss over the phone." The man responds "I need you to hunt down specific demons in France and England. More specifically, I believe some individuals call them Chiropterans." Dante then responds "Never heard of em." The man then bluntly says "That's because they are a classified research project, Man-Made Demons so to speak." This caught Dante's attention and he suddenly appeared to be interested, putting his hand over his chin and saying "Man made Demons? That's a first." The man then said while approaching Dante "They seem to be focused on a certain individual as well." The man sat down on the opposite couch and placed two pictures on the table by throwing them towards Dante, then saying "Those pictures are of twins, the girl with the long hair seems to be ignored by the Chiropterans, despite being the short haired girl's twin." Dante sighs then says "Why would these things be interested in two teenage girls."
The man then scratched his hair, saying "Because they are chiropterans as well." Dante then looked at the man and said with interest "Let me guess, they're these ancient demons hell-bent on opening a portal to the demon realm and blah blah blah, take over the world." The man chuckled a bit then said "No, The short haired girl wants to kill all chiropterans and the long haired girl wants to populate the world with them."
Dante sighed and said "Okay, so one's an emo and the other is a naughty girl." The man chuckled and said "Perhaps, perhaps not, it depends on your point of view, anyway the Job is to kill any chiropterans you encounter except those two girls." Dante then said with interest "What is so important about these girls?" The man then shook his head and responded "No idea, I wasn't told the details about them, but I was told their names. Saya is the short haired girl, and Diva is the long haired girl, and both were born in the mid 1800's" Dante sighed then said "Yup, only one thing stays the same with all the demons, and that's they never are what they seem to be." A short time passed before Dante broke the silence, saying "So not only am I getting 30 grand, but you're also going to cover all my debts, do you know how many debts I have, and how deep they are at that?" The man flatly responded "Yes, including your six billion dollar debt with a woman named Lady, We are prepared to cover that in full as well." Dante's jaw seemed to drop, the fact that they could pay him thirty grand, cover his debts including the six billion debt with Lady and just to chase two teenagers around Europe whilst doing what he does best, this all sounded too good to be true, and Dante knows that when it sounds like that, it is like that.
Dante then closed his mouth and said "Anything else?" The man then said "We'll cover your expenses during the trip, and no deductions to your pay based on travel time, hygine, food, water and property destruction will be tallied against you, we'll cover all expenses, and damages."
Dante let himself lay back with his arms crossed a bit, this job sounded like a honey trap, but hey, an all-expense paid trip to France, plus he gets to break stuff without being billed for it whilst killing some freaks of supernature, It's not something he could just pass up.
Dante regained his posture and said "Anything in advance?" The man then responded "Order a pizza or something, I'll cover it.". Dante grinned and said "I hope you got the cash on you now cause I'm ordering an extra large." The man shrugged and said "Sure.".
