Luck!

E/O Drabble Challenge. Challenge of the week: use a foreign word.

A/N: This would've been such a lovely opportunity to throw in some German words – but I had already a Southerner in mind, so: Pech gehabt :-)


The man whose neck had just been spared a terrible divorce from his body knew better than to move. It took him some time to connect the image of the ragged figure crouching in the shadow with the Armani-clad King of Hell.

"Zut" he breathed.

"Nice to see you too mon amie," Crowley purred. "Business's running well I see..."

He eyed the young woman by the fire.

"New trainee? Or a delivery?"

"Listen, it's..."

"No, YOU listen. What if Death would learn about your little side job?"

The rogue reaper winced, terror in his eyes.

"Yeah. That's what I thought."
