Recap: "They all show up at job sites and start praying or yelling us while were there." Trish says the annoyance perfectly clear in her face. "So of course they screw up the jobs, and either scare away the demons, or bring them coming."
"They end up getting attacked, we end up saving them, or whats left, then get blamed that we are the ones who brought them here." Lucia add, anger creeping in.
"Well that's just stupid, but how do they know about your jobs?" Lady starts to say something but is cut off by the ringing of a phone. She pulls out a smart phone from her pocket; she then starts to talk on it and soon closes.
She turns to us with a gleeful smile, "So anyone up for a job?"
"A job?" I ask disbelieving.
"Yep, it's closer to us than the guys, so we get it first." I'm going to ignore that 'guys' comment, though it does irritate the hell outta me.
"Alright, then I guess I'll see you guys later." Cassie adds with a sad smile.
"Definitely, and thanks for the clothes." I tell her with a huge grin, figured I might as well make some more friends, it makes it easier to know that she knows Dante and the demons.
"Great, see you guys later." She says cheerily and waves as we all walk out and towards the door.
"So where exactly is this place."
"The same place where they are going." Lucia says and points towards the door. We all follow the direction to where her fingers pointing in spy the bitch pack hurrying through the doors.
"No way in hell are they beating me to a fucking job." Lady curses then starts to sprint, the bags on her arms flopping up and down like chicken wings. "Hurry the hell up." We didn't have to be told twice, I'd had already started running before she said it, I didn't have to be here more than five minutes to know that a pissed off Lady, is not a fun Lady.
We ran through the parking lot and got to Carol, I had tossed Lady the key to unlock the trunk and with her head start she already had it up and her stuff inside. We tossed our stuff in, closed the trunk and got inside, Lady handed me the key and I started Carol up and backed out.
I backed up and then shifted forward and headed towards the exit, we could see a Mercedes 911 coming at us and heading for the exit to, when the lead bitch saw us she speed up.
"PUNCH IT!" Lady screams into my ear, I ignore it and shift into second and press the gas pedal. I would have done it just to piss off those bitches; I didn't like them at all. We speed up and reach the turn to the street after they start to turn into it. I turn sharply, sending everyone sliding into each other, Trish into me, Lucia into Patty, then those two into Lady. But instead of the bitch straightening up, she instead turns slightly and rams into my car.
"YOU FUCKING BITCH, YOU DID NOT DO WHAT I THINK YOU DID!" I scream out loud, but burst out laughing when the Mercedes is repealed sideways with a huge ass dent in the front left fender and bumper corner. I cringe my neck slightly to see how Carol is, not even a scratch in the rusty paint job. I stick my hand out the window and drive with my knee; I give her the bird and scream "NOT EVEN A FUCKING SCRATCH YOU SLUT!"
We all burst out laughing manically as we speed off and leave the bitches screaming after us, their car totaled, you don't mess with someone driving a car from before the 80's, any modern day car would be flattened with just a swing of my door.
"Take a left up ahead." Lady instructs, I signal and turn.
"Okay so where exactly is this job located at." Trish asked, she's propped herself to where she is in the corner between the door and the bench seat, her hands pushing outward on the ceiling and the seat, holding her body in place. She's been in that position since our little sliding incident.
"A supermarket on Hogan, the people said that a group of demons came out of nowhere and went into the store." Eh, that sounded like it could be bad. "Take a right here." I did a semi-sharp turn and speed up some more.
"Any description on what they looked like." Lucia asked, she had braced herself as well, but Patty was holding on to her for dear life. Hey my driving isn't that bad.
"Only that they were ugly and making weird noises." Lady said, she was holding onto the back of my portion of the front bench seat.
"Well that narrows it down." I say sarcastically, and then speed around some bikers on the side of the road.
"Yeah I know, turn right up here, the store should come into view up ahead." I do what she says and turn onto a street, at the moment we're at the outskirts of Capulet city, there are old looking stores, mostly hair salons, but every once in awhile you see more refurbished buildings.
"Is that it?" I ask pointing to a lone standing building with a mass of people out in front.
"Fuck." Lady curses under her breath, "Yeah that's the place, pull in." I do what she says and find an open spot near the back of the parking lot, no need to put Carol in more danger. We all got out and stared at the crowd holding signs and marching in circle chanting something, the Lord's Prayer I think. A larger crowd was around them, some looked shell shocked, others were chanting along with the sign holders. I roll my eyes and grab the Ihome speaker from the glove box.
"A picket line, really?" I ask amusedly.
"Yeah, they're 'fine up standing citizens' that can't come up with any better ideas, or at least original ones." Trish scoffs.
"Hey open the trunk will ya." Lady says, I walk to here and unlock the trunk. She digs through the bags and pulls out Lucia's Klyamoor's and hands them to her, she then digs through again and pulls out Kalina Ann.
"You really think we'll need that?" I ask curious.
"We?" Trish asked with a smirk, eyebrow cocked.
"You really think I'm going to stand out here with these dumbasses." I point a thumb at the crowd.
"Didn't think you'd be up for since the last time you did, you ended up with those." She points to my hands.
"Can't let that stop me right?" they smirk and shake their heads.
"Good, then come on." They start to walk off when something hits me.
"Hey wait a sec, I gotta coupla things to do first." They all look at me annoyed but I shrug off the looks and go through my bags of clothes, I pull out the gloves and collar, then throw my blazer and hoodie into the trunk and close it, after I pull out my Ipod, Guepe and Frelon. Then I replace my makeshift collar with the one I bought, and slid on the gloves. I turn around and face them, "Ready."
"Take the coat." Trish tells me. I start to protest but the look she gave me was 'don't go against me', I sigh and pull out the coat and slid it on, I wasn't adding anymore clothes though. I left the coat unzipped for easier movement.
"How's this then?" They shake their heads and I close the trunk and we all walk towards the car. Trish reaches from behind her back and pulls out a clip on holster, two clips on magazine pouches already filled with two magazines.
"Here, you may need these." I take them and slid the holsters onto my belt, the gun on my right hip, the magazines on my lower back. She then pulls out a black Sig Sauer P220; it was black with a compensator at the end to keep down muzzle climb. "Here, you know how to use one right."
I accept the gun and scoff, "Of course, though," I twist around my hand and try to find a comfortable grip, the sig was a little too small for my hands. "I do appreciate this, but do you by chance have a Beretta on you, it fits my hands more." She shakes her hand and gives me a blank look.
"Sorry, but I'm a Sig girl myself." I shrug and put the sig in its holster on my hip, take what you get.
"Thanks, I'll make sure to take care of it, my word on that." Lady gives a curt nod and then we come face to face with the mob. Maybe I will get some use out of the sig.
"You heathens." A sign holder yelled. "Charlatans." Another yelled at us, what the hell do we look like to them, road side physics?
A man dressed in ministers clothes stepped forward and settled sharp eyes on us. "We have no need for you people here," he then waved us away. "Leave here, and take your ungodly presence with you, we shall take care of these unholy demons ourselves." The picketers cheered and shouted they're approval.
The five of us all shared a look and rolled our eyes, Lady then stepped forward and glared at them, most of them flinched and stopped cheering, smart dumbasses.
"Look, I don't care if you guys dance around a fire and chant your little prayers, we were hired to take care of these guys, not you, so move your asses, or end up on the ground, your choices." The minister gained back his spine and steeped up to her glaring. Me and Patty cover our mouths and point at them while snickering.
"We will not back down, we are here to slay these beast with the lords might." Wow these guys are really stupid. Dumb people with a good objective in mind always ends with failure, the demotivational poster I saw once said it all. 'A few harmless flakes working together can cause an avalanche of destruction.' Of course they could be dangerous; another poster I saw said 'Idiocy- never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.'
Lady starts to growl and says something but Trish puts an arm on her shoulder to calm her down. "And how exactly do you plan to accomplish this task."
The minister smiles smugly, "But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."
"If you're going to thump the bible, get a room." I interject, the girls laugh while everyone else that isn't in shock gets angry and glares at me.
"Young man, I suggest you leave before you have lost your immortal soul to these-" he looks for the best word. "Harlots." He finally says.
The Patty lets out a protesting whine while I and the others glare at them. "I'm comfortable with my sins thank you very much, but I suggest you deal with your own before you mess with others."
"And what do you know about sin?" a picketer shouts, the others join in.
Putting my hands on my hips, avoiding the sig, I just glare at them. "I'm a teenager for Christ sake, and I've already broken plenty of the commandments by your religions point of view, besides I've already got a suite reserved down in hell."
Lucia and Trish, chuckle while mob glares at me or splutters.
"Enough." Lady says sternly, and then turns to us. "We don't have time for this, Trish, Lucia, Adrian, you're with me, Patty stay out here and make sure that these dipshits don't get their asses killed." We all shake our heads and start to walk towards the store.
"We do not need your protection, we have the lords will!" a picketer shouts.
"Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live." The minister says sternly. Lady instantly reached to her belt and swiveled around on her foot, bringing up her arm and leveling the gun in her hand at the minister's forehead.
A collection of gasp erupt and everyone back away, we're standing looking at the idiots while Lady just gives the bastards a dead look, her gun unwavering.
"You all will suffer a witch if any of you bastards touch her, now shut the fuck up and let us do our job." The minister gulped and shook his head; Lady smirked and then walked off towards the store. I shared a glance with Patty, she caught it and shook her head, and I returned it and followed after the others into the store.
"Okay, the manager told me that they were all towards the pharmacy, so split up and looks for them." Lady says then racks the slides on her pistols.
"What is the exact number?" Trish says, copying her fellow huntress with Dusk and Umbra.
"Unknown, but the guess is that there are more than six of them."
"Then we may not split them up evenly among us." Says Lucia with her Klyamoor's in hand.
"Well tough look, I just need to relieve some stress." Oh crap, I am not going anywhere near her, lady that is.
"Okay, I'll take the frozen foods and fresh meats." I say then produce my speaker and Ipod.
"Fine, hey what is that?" Lady says intrigued and annoyed.
"Music, figured we'd need something to brawl to." They seemed to think about it then shook their heads. I strolled down to find the perfect music, metal would be good, but I was in the mood for something more subtle, hey here we go. I selected 'Sanctuary' by Hikaru Utada and hit play. "That work for you?"
"For now, nice melody to it." Trish says. Lucia nods her head to.
"Okay, Adrian has claimed meats, Lucia take the cooking wear isle next to it, Trish you go for sporting goods on the far right, I'll take up electronics in the back. Meet back up in the clothing section in the middle at the end of the song got it." we all nodded our heads and went off, I left speaker and my Ipod in a cart and pushed it towards the middle of the store, it hit a stand of clothes and stopped, the music still going.
I and Lucia stayed together for a little bit, noticing that the music was still being able to heard quite well, great speaker. The lights overhead lights where off, but the small emergency lights over each isle were on, and a small collection of lights radiated from my section. I had Guepe and Frelon out and fully extended, each where by my sides loose and ready.
The layout of the building was pretty much like every other kind of store I've been in, it was as big on the inside like Wal-Mart, so that explains why there were so many people in the crowd surrounding the picketers.
Lucia raises her hand to signal that she's going to her section, which runs in 20 isles that were perpendicular to my single long isle on the far right. I shook my head and walked further to my section.
I could see the lights getting brighter and brighter from the meats as I got closer, and then I hear maniacal cackling coming from the middle of it. I speed up and turned at the end of the aisle to see two scarecrows standing in an open bid in between the far left meat section and Lucia's section of isles.
I bring up Guepe and Frelon and jog towards them, ready to strike with the essence of surprise, but I lose that option when another scarecrow comes flying out from one of the isles and goes sliding into the bin that lies in between me and the one the other scarecrows are in me.
I spy a throwing dagger in the shape of an arrowhead poking out of its chest, beetles seeping out. I look up to see the other scarecrows, arms both of them, are looking at the body, then to me, they let out a chuckled and start to stumble about. Even more chuckles and laughs let out from across the store, more and more join up and soon the noise is echoing across the store and drowning out the music.
I let out a growl and run forward towards them, passing an isle I see in the corner of my eye that Lucia is fighting off three more scarecrows, cutting up shelves as their arms go wide with swings. Gun shots rang out, multiple ones rapidly as I jump up onto the edge of the open bin and start to run forward faster.
One of the arm scarecrow jumps up slightly and over to me, it swings its arm at my feet, I push off as it goes through the swing and miss my boots. I flipped forward and landed on my left hand, kinda difficult with Guepe in it; I then spin around with Frelon stuck out and hit the scarecrow in the head.
It falls forward and smacks itself on the edge; I hear burlap rip open and then the sound of scurrying beetles. I flip backwards and balance on my boots to look at the other scarecrow that had fallen over the side of the bin.
I smirk as it scrambles up onto its peg legs, and then feel a tingling rush going up my spine. I side step and then flip off towards the isle behind me, slipping on a puddle of spilled liquid, and slam into the end of the isle. I see a leg scarecrow come by doing a sideways cartwheel and then embed its leg into the bid where I had been previously standing.
I'm a little bit shocked to see it really, because it wasn't a normal scarecrow, it had a big blooming red flower on its head, tendril snaking into the burlap sack. In the middle where small tentacles that poked up, and it had two arms that stuck out and where long and flexible with large blades on the ends, and they were swinging around wildly.
"Infested scarecrows, REALLY!" I shout, and duck down as the arm of the tendril swings at my head and swipes at the metal isle end. "Fuck this." I say, then drop Frelon to my lap and pull out the sig from its holster. Lady had told me that it held eight rounds, nine with one it the chamber, and was already to go. I flicked off the safety and aim at the infested scarecrow, or for more technically correct people, chimera.
"Goodbye." I say then pull the trigger four times. Each of the bullets hit the chimera in the chest or in the head/flower. It goes down and lets out a dying chuckle as the beetles exit its body. I take short time revealing in my handiwork before I notice the arm scarecrow standing back up. I quickly stand up, grabbing Frelon with left hand and holding both of the batons in it.
Bringing up my arm and aiming with one swift motion I pull the trigger two more times and hit the arm in the chest in close proximity of each other. A big whole starts to spread as the beetles come pouring out of its chest, then crumples to the floor slowly.
"Nice shot." I jump at the accented voice of Lucia says, I turn quickly to see her standing at the end of her isle, the disappearing bodies of three scarecrows behind her. "But what was that second one?"
"Chimera, well more like an infested scarecrow, the flower was a demon known as a chimera seed, once it attaches to a scarecrow or assault it fuses and becomes a chimera." She gives me the 'aw I see' look.
"Come on, the songs over, and I don't hear any more cackles." She says then turns around and walks off. True, the song was now 'Simple and Clean' by the same singer of 'Sanctuary'.
I follow her down her isle when I spot some bottles of vodka, hey those could be useful. "Hey Lucia wait." She turns and cocks and eyebrow, "Lets take these bottles of alcohol, they could be useful against those demons." She shrugs and reaches for one, I take one after collapsing Frelon and putting it in my pockets, I then shove two bottles in my coat pocket, and they are really big. I then spot some glass lemonade bottles on a shelf underneath. "Hey Calypso."
"After we are done please." Lucia responds, ugh what a downer.
"Fine, lets go." We walk off towards the clothing section and look for Trish and Lady.
"Hey over here." I hear Lady say, we turn to see her and Trish standing next to the guys jeans rack. We jog over, the bottles clinking, and met up with them. Both have guns out and pointing towards the floor. Lady seemed more relaxed than before, good that makes dealing with her easier.
"So how'd you guys do?" Lady asks, and then eyes the bottles of Vodka. "What's up, going to a party?"
"Hardee har har," I say rolling my eyes, Lucia laughs a little. "We ran into some scarecrows, three each I think," I look to Lucia and she nods her head yes, "But I had to deal with a chimera, and the vodka here is for those in particular."
"Chimera?" Lady asks.
"That one scarecrow you shot with the flower on its head." Trish informs.
"Yeah, I used your gun to shoot the one I had, it was too close for me to use my batons properly."
Lady smirks at me it said 'I told you so.' "Good, well I ran into about two of the regular scarecrows, and that one chimera."
"And I took care of two scarecrows." Trish adds.
"So that means that we took down eleven all together, think that's it?" I ask.
"Maybe, I couldn't find any more in my area." "Same here." They say to me.
"I checked most of my isles, but I didn't sense anymore." Lucia adds.
"Well, my area was one straight line to view, and I saw nothing."
"Then I think we are done here boys and girls." Lady says happily, and then a crash comes from behind me and Lucia.
We all whirl around, Trish, Lady and I pulling up guns, Lucia bringing up her Klyamoor's. We see three more scarecrows, all of them legs, and all of them have chimera seeds attached to their heads.
"Spoke to soon did you." Trish taunts. She raises her guns a little more and starts to squeeze the trigger, but I stop her. "What is it?"
I hold up my two bottles with one hand and shake them. Trish and Lady smile at me and Lady accepts one from me, Lucia picks up hers.
The three of us fold back our arms and then pitch the bottles at the chimeras; Trish had sent lightning into her arm and was aiming at the cluster of bottles. We watched in slow motion as the bottles spin end over end towards the group of infested legs. The bottles get right above the center of the three when Trish sends the bolt of lightning at them, it strikes the bottles and almost instantaneously they explode into fire.
We cover are eyes as the light from the explosion engulfs the legs, dying cries of laughter comes from them. A siren blares in the background as water is soon spraying the entire room.
"CRAP! My Ipod." I yell then race off to the shopping cart I had put it in, the others laugh and run after me as I reach it. I grab it and stuff it into my pants pocket making sure that it doesn't get wet; I stuff the speaker in my pocket and race towards the door.
We get out, partially soaked; after all you get wetter when you run, so my coat would have to dry a little. I expected for people to be in an uproar on behalf of the gunshots and explosions, but instead they are all silent, then I see why.
A really tall guy in a suit, with grey hair and glasses was staring down at Patty, who seemed to be royally pissed off, and it was the calm angry pissed off, not the I'm going to kill you screaming pissed off.
"I take it that he is Conneling." I state, and then see some reporters and a news van.
"Yes." Trish groans then does a face palm.
"Oh goodie, I get to piss off the head asshole." I say gleefully and rub my gloved hands together.
"Please do." Lucia responds, she suddenly looks tired, I don't know if she is being sarcastic, but I just skip over to Patty and Mr. Asshole.
"Hey Patty, whose your friend here?" I ask cheerfully, playing the annoying, oblivious idiot, you know if I spiked my hair I could pass for Axel from Kingdom hearts 2, no wait I'd need a longer coat, and some chakras.
"We aren't friends." They both stated at the same time, Conneling's voice reminded me of Kelsey Grammars, snooty and pompous.
"Oh, well the mistake." Then they both stopped their staring contest and looked at me with shocked expressions.
"What happened to you, you're wet?" Patty exclaimed.
"Well, the recipe calls for three demons, three bottles of strawberry vodka, one bolt of lightning, and you end up with an activated sprinkler system." I say enthusiastically.
"Vodka?" they both ask confused, I just nod my head with a happy smile.
"And who, pray tell, are you?" Conneling asked darkly.
I just give him a great big ol smile, "Adrian Black, it's not a pleasure to meet you sir."
He sticks his hand out, "Nice to- hey wait." He growls. Patty snickers, as does the woman with the microphone and the guy camera on his shoulder, does the flashing red light mean that they're recording?
"So anyway Patty, you ready to go? I'm hungry." I was still keeping up the whole happy idiot act, though truthfully it wasn't much of an act at the moment.
"Yeah, you guys take care of the demons?" Conneling and the news people all gasp.
"Yep, all dead and some are extra crispy." I respond happily.
"Wait, are you a demon hunter?" the woman asks her microphone now pointed at my face.
"Well actually I-"
"This is what I have been talking about." Conneling interjects and steps in front of me to hog the camera. "These people are using children like this young lady and this young man here to battle against the monsters that they created." He gestures towards me and Patty, whom I'd stepped towards after Mr. Asshole had so rudely interrupted.
"Excuse me." I hear Lady growl out, I turn to see her being held back by Lucia and Trish.
"They are extremely violent people that corrupt our youth and our citizens, that woman there," he points to Lady, "Even pulled out a gun on a minister that was peacefully demonstrating outside this store."
"I don't know what your definition of peaceful is, but threatening people with bible quotes isn't mine." I interject. The camera moved away from Conneling to me.
"Excuse me, did you say threaten?" the woman asked, going past Conneling.
"Yeah, the minister threw out an insult that doubled as a threat towards Patties life." I motioned towards her; she gave an innocent face and started up some tears, good girl.
"He… he said that, *hic* I shouldn't live… *hic* and called me a witch." Patty then broke off a sob that wrenched my heart, this girl is good. I pull her into my side and rub her arm in a comforting motion.
The news woman turned to Conneling, "Mayor Conneling is this true, did this minister you speak of actually threaten this little girl." She then stuck the microphone in his face.
He glared at me and Patty, we just stuck our tongues out at him, Trish and the others snickered.
"Reverend Phillips may have said something like that but-"
"He quoted Exodus at her, 'thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.'" I told the news reporter. "Verse 22 paragraph 18 if I remember correctly."
"You read the bible?" the newswoman asked as Conneling started to fume.
"Yeah I did once, it was a great story book, though really controversial." Plenty of people sucked in air while Patty and the others were trying hard not to laugh.
"Never the less," Conneling interjected and stepped in front of the camera again. "Despite what happened here today, there is a silver lining to this even."
Another quote from a demotivational poster came to mind so I just blurted it out. "Every dark cloud has a silver lining, but lightning kills hundreds of people every year who are trying to find it." Patty and the others burst out laughing now, Conneling just death glares at me as the camera guy shakes. "You know your face will stick like that if you do it too much." Again more laughter.
"Despite what happened today," Conneling went on ignoring my comment, "We have insight into-"
"Insight- when the going gets tough, the tough get going, the smart left a long time ago." I quote another demotivational poster, man I had to buy some of those; they are great for pissing people off.
"The quality of-"
"The race for quality has no finish line, so technically it's just a death march." Man I am good at annoying people.
"ARE YOU DONE YET!" he yells at me, everyone else is laughing at his expense.
"I've got one more, 'Quitters never win, winners never quit, and those who never quit AND never win are idiots.'" I'm really busting a gut with these quotes.
"I think we have enough." The camera guy says.
"Great, go send it back to central." The newswoman said to the camera guy, he nods and goes off. Conneling is speechless with rage as she turns around and beams at us. "Thanks, this is going to be a great broadcast."
"Ooh, can I get a copy." Patty asks puppy dog eyes.
I jump and down like a kid on Christmas, "Me too, MEEE TOOOO!"I whine.
"Sure, no problem." The newswoman laughs, and then walks away.
"You will pay for making me look like a fool." Conneling growls, I turn to him and just look into his eyes and give him a warm smile.
"Politicians are like diapers, they need to be changed often and for the same reasons." I quote again through my smile. He lets out a cry of anger and storms off. "Geez, what crawled up his ass?"
"That was great." Lady tells us with a big smile.
"Indeed, we are definitely taping tonight's broadcast." Trish says wiping a tear from her eye.
"I agree, but I think we need to get something to eat." Lucia says, then her stomach growls.
I just laugh, "No problem, and I agree with you Lucia's stomach." I get odd funny looks but I ignore them and head to Carol. But an old man stops us; he's wearing a suit and looks kinda rich.
"Hello, my names Robert Parsons, and I'm the owner of this store." He then takes Lady's hand and shakes it vigoursly, "I can't thank you enough for taking care of those demons, anyway I can repay you, ask for it."
"Where's the money." Lady asks, straight for the jugular.
"Here it is." He pulls out an envelope and gives it to her; she snatches it up and starts to count it. "And anything in the store you want, just ask."
"Um, well how about twenty or so of those Calypso lemonades." I suggest. They all look at me funny, "What?"
"So what should we have for dinner?" I ask after they all pile in.
"Well I need to get to the shop in about an hour for mommy to pick me up." Patty says.
"Then I suggest something simple." Lucia says.
"Pizza." They all said with disdain.
"Or McDonalds." I throw out, but they just give me blank looks.
"Nope, just head home, Dante's probably already ordered it by now." Trish instructs, probably right.
"Fine, but first." I pull out my Ipod and speaker and scroll through my playlist, I'm in the mood for something with a beat, oh how bout Rihanna.
"You listen to this?" Patty asked shocked.
"Yeah, I listen to just about anything, why?"
"Well you don't seem to be the type to listen to this stuff." Lady counters.
"Well, looks can be deceiving, though I think it's all the black that gives me the look."
"Maybe." Trish says, her head bobbing to the beat.
We get back to the Devil May Cry at around 8:30, and find a deep red Rolls Royce in front.
"Hey Mommy is here." Patty says gleefully. I pull up behind the rolls and pull the e-brake.
"Well, get your stuff out of the trunk and you can go see her." I say getting out of Carol. I head towards the back of the car. I open up the trunk and get my bags of clothes and then pick up my crate of lemonade, all black cherry.
"I still don't see why you wanted all of that." Trish says while retrieving her bags.
"I'll give you a sip and you'll see why I like them."
"Alright, oh and don't think we aren't done with our discussion from earlier." She says over her shoulder while walking into the shop. I just stop and stare at her; the others smirk as they walk past and leave me outside.
"Are you freaking kidding me?" I stare at the door, now fixed, for a few more seconds before I sulk into the shop. Patty was jumping into her mother's arms and giggling like a maniac.
"Ugh, how much money do I owe now?" Dante whines from his spot on the couch, eh throws down the playing cards on the table in front of him. Nero and Vergil threw down there's and stood up.
Lady just gives him a wistful smirk and turns to me; she reaches into her pocket and pulls out a few bills. "Here," she says and shoves them towards me, "Your cut from the job."
"Sweet! Thanks." I say joyfully, and then place my stuff next to my bag in the corner next to the juke box. I turn around and snag the money from her hands, four hundred bucks is what I count.
"No problem, and good idea on the vodka bomb." She then pats my shoulder.
I notice that the guys seemed to be a little bruised, even Vergil.
"What the hell happened to you guys?"
"We had a little disagreement shortly before Patty's mother arrived." Vergil said, disagreement my ass.
"Okay, I'm not going to ask." Vergil nodded his head then eyed my stuff.
"I see you bought some clothes." I just gave him an odd look.
"Are you making small talk?" I ask disbelieving, he glares at me. "Alright, I'm sorry just thought it was weird."
"Whatever you say." He replies.
"Hey Dante turn the t.v. on to channel 7, you gotta watch this." Trish says while grabbing a slice of pizza from the box on the table. Ooh, pizza, I hurry to the box and grab two slices, they were lukewarm but I could care less.
"What for?" he ask while turning on a 20 inch t.v. in the corner.
"Just watch, Shhh, it's on." Patty says. We all crowd around the t.v. till we get a good view as the 10:00 news comes on.
"This afternoon, demons attacked a supermarket on Hogan road in downtown Capulet city, the demons where dealt with, but what happens afterword will make you laugh or make you angry." The newsman soon disappeared and the newswoman we saw earlier was standing outside the store we worked at today, the crowd behind her.
"Hello, Susan Kent here with a breaking story, just two hours ago a undisclosed number of demons invaded this store behind me. About five minutes ago group of demon hunters, locals from the shop 'Devil May Cry'," pictures of Lady, Trish and Lucia flashed in the corner of the screen. "Arrived on scene with an unkown stranger," a picture of me showed up in the screen, hey I do look good in the coat. "the group was instantly meet with hostility from the protesters outside, behind me, and a confrontation started."
"Yeah, because they started it." I scoffed, they shushed me.
"The confrontation between one the demon hunters and the group was resolved and the demon hunters went inside, and I'm told that shots have been heard from inside the store, we recently heard a loud explosion a minute ago, followed by the sounds of a fire alarm." The camera then pans out to show that Conneling and Patty where having there staring contest. "As you can see, Mayor Richard Conneling is here supporting the protesters, and is now in an intense conversation with a member of the demon hunters that was told to wait outside, oh wait look." The camera then swept to where Susan was pointing and it showed the four of us, slightly drenched, walking out of the doors. "The demon hunters have emerged from the store unharmed."
The rest of the video showed my little smack down with Conneling, which everyone was rolling around and laughing at immensely.
"That was great kid, you really stuck it to him." Dante says slapping me on the back, I cringe and reach for another slice of pizza.
"Thank you for looking after my daughter like that." Patty's mom, Linda I think, says with a smile.
"No problem." I smile at her, then yawn. "man I am beat."
"Yeah, you and me both." Lady says and stretches and yawns. "I'm gonna head on home, tomorrow we'll work on you marksmen-ship." Vergil glares at me, oh right doesn't think guns are honorable.
"Here's you sig by the way." I say and hand her the gun and magazines.
"Thanks, we'll find you better ones for your hands." she says then walks off towards the door, "And by the way Dante, you still owe me this weeks debt." The red devil-hunter groans as she cackles while going through the door.
"We better call it a night to." Trish says, then walks towards the doors, Lucia follows behind her, each have bags. "See you tomorrow guys, goodnight Adrian, you did a good job today."
"Thanks." I beam at them, Lucia gives me a smile and a curt nod.
"Goodnight Adrian." Patty says cheerily and gives me a hug, I return it and she smiles and walks out the door. Her mother follows behind her and then close the door.
"Wow kid, you must have made a big impression." Dante says. I just shrug my shoulders.
"So, can I stay here or do I have to go find a hotel?"
"You're staying here." Nero says then gets up and dust off his pants, "There's a bed on top of the loft over there, Dante doesn't use it and I stay in the back in another room."
"You and Verge can share a bed." Dante adds.
"NO!" we both shout, well scream. And cue awkward moment of not looking at each other and blushing.
"Jeez, alright, well you two fight over who gets the couch, I'm going to bed." He gets up and follows Nero through the door into the back. Le gasp, don't tell me that all my favorite pairings of Dante and Nero are true.
"Where are you going?" Vergil ask.
"There's two rooms in the back, I prefer mine back here, anyway night." Aw man, and I got my hopes up.
"You can take the bed." Vergil says.
"You sure?"
"Yes, just throw down a pillow and a comforter please." I shrug and gather up my stuff and head up to the open area loft. I set it all down in the corner and pull out my blanket and tear off the one on the bed, I throw that down along with one of the two pillows to Vergil. he catches it then walks towards the couch.
"Good night." I say to him as I walk to the bed and strip down into my night clothes, though changing the shirt into a better one with less holes and dried blood.
"Good night." He responds, then the lights shut off. I sigh as I lay in the bed under my blanket.
I went over the course of the day, I woke up and got molested by my favorite character from the game, nose bleed, watched said character get pinned to a wall with a sword, met other favorite characters. I then went into a very painful memory/nightmare, met three of this world's worst villains, got stabbed by my favorite character, then went shopping with a bunch of crazy women. I then went demon hunting, firebombing, shooting, and told off a politician in front of a news crew who later showed it to the entire city.
"Today was a good day." I mutter then turn over onto my stomach and go to sleep.
Adrian: okay that was a good one, and two updates in the same day, I'm proud of you. *turns around* what's up with you?
Alucardismaster: *stares horrorfied at computer* *breaks out crying and falls down onto floor* it's horrible, so horrible.
Everyone pulls out weapons.
Vergil: what is it, Mundus, Sanctus, Justin Beiber?
Alucardismaster: no *sobs* its worse.
Adrian: alright just calm down and tell us what it is.
Alucardismaster: *points at computer* it's the new DmC trailer, they've *sob* redesigned Vergil!
*everyone gasp*
Lady: NO!
Alucardismaster: Yes *breaks down crying*
Adrian: cant be that bad could it?
Nero: only one way to find out. *goes to computer, everyone else crowds around*
-2 minutes later-
Adrian is on the ground from fainting, Lucia is having seizures, Patty is dead.
Vergil: where is this 'ninja theory' located. *holds author by shirt* Don't make me stab you again. *holds up Yamato*
Alucardismaster: England! *falls to the floor*
Dante: we'll be back in three days.
Nero: for now, please leave a comment and review at the end of this page. Follow or like the story.
