Angels Cry Too
Chapter Two
The rain was practically pounding on the roof when Dante made it back to the his office marked with the glowing neon sign reading "Devil May Cry." All thoughts about the strange girl in the alley were forgotten when he opened the lid of a white cardboard box containing a large pizza.
"Finally." Dante moaned, pulling out a piece of pizza and hungrily biting into it.
He sat back in a chair and propped his feet up on the desk in front of him. He ate his pizza contentedly and listened to the rain outside. He was on the last slice of the pizza when he heard soft cautious footsteps in the attic overhead.
"Sounds like we have rats."
Dante raised his gun and fired a few rounds at the ceiling. Several seconds passed and suddenly gunshot fired back at him. When the dust from the return fire had cleared something on the floor caught Dante's eye. The bullets fired from the attic spelled out a cute little message on the floor.
"Screw you bastard." Dante read.
"No frikking way." He groaned glaring up at the hole in the ceiling.
"So, your name is Bethany Stone, huh?" Dante said reading off of the idea card found in his intruder's wallet. It was of course, the girl from the alleyway. Dante had caught her rather quickly due to the fact that she was cornered in the attic.
"Shuttup. My name is Gem. I hate being called Bethany."
"Gem Stone huh? Cute joke." Dante snorted.
"Shuttup!"
"Feisty aren't you?"
Bethany was currently tied to Dante's chair. Her weapons were confiscated and laid out on the desk. She was drenched in rainwater and her face was livid.
"Let's see here… twin hand guns and a big ass sword. That's a lot for a sneaky little punk like you to be carrying around." Dante said examining them.
"Grgh…you stupid jerk! Untie me now!" Gem yelled.
"Temper, temper." Dante snickered.
"You're the one who busted in here. You're trespassing. I think you owe me an apology." He said with relish.
"In your dreams." Gem spat.
Dante laughed."You're going to be tied up for a very long time kid," he grinned evilly.
"Go to hell." Gem hissed.
"I've already been there kid." Dante laughed louder.
"And it's not half bad." He said leaving the room
