I really don't like starting new stories when I have ones in progress but I can't help it when an idea pops into my head.
For those of you reading 'Quick Conclusions' I am almost finished the next chapter and will post soon!
Hope you enjoy this story, looking at a 3 chapter fic but might be longer if you all want it.

"BAIRD..BAIRD WHERE ARE YOU?!"
They're coming Guardian, so what will it be?
"...you've got a deal"
3 hours earlier...
"Just because they are a demon doesn't mean they have horns and a tail Jones!" Stone was getting increasingly frustrated with the thief's naivety.
"Shhhhhhhhh! Apologies Mr Jenkins, you may go on.."
"Thank you Miss Cillian, as I was saying, Agrippa Demons are particularly nasty. They exploit a persons every weekness forcing them to engage in a wager. These wagers are nearly impossible to win often resulting in the persons soul being the main course for the upcoming banquet. When you find it you must contain it immediately before it can have the opportunity to create another wager, be careful."
"We will, I'll call you if we need any more information on these demons." Baird finished off ending the call.
"Ok Stone when we reach the path our group of hikers were last seen on I want you and Cassandra to look for any signs of magical disturbance around the area but be discrete. Jones and I will meet up with local law enforcement to go over what they have so far."
Baird then suddenly pulled Stone's old ute over and turns to the other LIT's with her famous NATO Colonel glare.
"Under no circumstances to we tell them we are Librarians or why we are really there, Understand?!"
"You think they could of made a wager with the demon?" As always Stone was the first to realise what the Colonel was thinking.
"I don't know what to think..but we have to remember what Jenkins said and be cautious, we don't know what this demon is capable of"
3 hours later...
BAIRD?
EVE WHERE ARE YOU?!
Cassandra was beginning to panic as she tried to fathom what could of happened to their friend and guardian, trying to calculate the layout of the mine with all possible routes leading to exits or large 'rooms' where mining was abandoned.
Cass? Cassie you need to calm down ok? Jake had her in his arms while continuing to spout words of comfort to the distressed LIT.
"Yeah look on the bright side, we might find some diamonds while looking for Baird" Jones quipped earning a glare from the historian, Ezekiel was clearly not helping at all in this situation.
"Ok ok I think we should call Jenkins, see if he can give us any more information that could help us get one step ahead of this demon." Cassie suggested while leaving the strong comforting arms of her historian.
"He is not going to be happy when we tell him we lost Colonel Baird.."
Meanwhile somewhere in the mines...
"Your Librarians are definitely determined to find you Guardian, let's not let their hard work go to waste.."
CLIFFHANGER! Sorry I really hate them as a reader but as an author I can't help it! I'm on a role with ideas for the next chapter but please feel free to suggest anything you want in the story. As always reviews are highly appreciated! Hoping to get up the second chapter at the same time as Quick Conclusions chapter 3!
Thanks for reading :)
