Chapter 18: So close yet so far

A/N: I'm sure you guys are getting tired of the whole Jenny and Blitzo missing each other when they're close by but that'll be over soon. Just have to get a few things out of the way before they reunite.

Jenny's quest to find Blitzo continues. The question is who is going to stop her today?

We also get to start entering the Helluva Boss timeline! Just so no one is confused or think I'm not following the timeline from the show, in the La Vie timeline, Blitzo has had the book for years and has been doing this arrangement with Stolas for a long time as opposed to a few months. This will be important later in this story.

Enjoy!

After Alastor and Jenny made their truce, the human realized that maybe it wasn't such a good idea. The radio demon was constantly following her around the hotel-more than when he did before. Every time she left her room, he would be there. It would range from him talking about classic music to asking her to sing to just random things.

At first Jenny thought maybe he just wanted to be on better terms but now she was starting to think he was being annoying on purpose. For the record he was annoying before, but he took it up a notch or two now.

While some thought it was nice that they were getting along it was actually annoying for her. She was trying to reach IMP city and every time Alastor caught wind of her going out, he would want to tag along.

And of course, if he followed her around town, there was no way she could go to IMP City. She couldn't make up a reason why she wanted to go there without revealing that she was a human. She thought about pretending that she was going to see Blitzo so he could kill someone for her but then she would have to come up with a crazy story about why it didn't clash with Charlie's Hotel idea.

She was starting to run out of ideas of how to ditch Alastor when fate smiled upon her for a change.

Charlie mentioned that all of the Overlords and Hellborn royalty had to go to a mandatory meeting with the higher ups over the upcoming 'cleanse'.

Jenny still had no idea what this cleanse was, but she really didn't care. If that meant Alastor was going to be out of her hair for the day, then she was going to take it.

When she heard Charlie and Alastor leave, she sprang into action. Map in hand, she quickly left the hotel before anyone could stop her. She didn't notice that it was oddly quiet as everyone else seemed to be running errands too. She didn't care because she had an Imp she needed to reunite with.

Blitzo was having a hard time trying to sympathize with his latest client. Today he had a scorned teacher who found out her husband was cheating on her with another woman. So, in a fit of rage, she killed her husband and the woman he was sleeping with, only to realize her students had saw the whole thing on the computer so she decided to end herself as well.

He really wanted to sympathize with her, because Jenny was a schoolteacher as well. If he had found out David had been cheating on her, he would for one be happy that she had a reason to dump him but he would also make it so no one would recognize his body when they found it.

He tried to pretend that he cared about this teacher's sob story, but from how she was describing everything, he could see why the husband cheated on her.

"I mean, was she hotter?" he asked.

"Cause I had a hard time understanding the unprompted melodrama you spat at me tits"

The teacher, Mrs. Mayberry growled in annoyance. Blitzo just rolled his eyes showing he wasn't fazed by her.

"Anyway, I don't think you understand how we operate down here. You see, we take our revenge out on the living and it sounds like the core cast of your sitcom of a death are all down here with you"

"Not all of them" Mrs. Mayberry said.

"That whore survived. Now they all call her a hero. Between the talk shows and donation bullshit, she made so much goddamn cash that getting shot was the best thing that could happen to her! She's not a hero!"

Blitzo backed up in his seat when he realized she was starting to get crazy.

"Ok, ok, she's not a hero" he said.

"So, I take it you want this bitch to be dead?"

"No, I want you to go target my husband that I killed-yes I want you to kill her!" Mrs. Mayberry snapped.

"Come down, it's not my fault your shitty life ended a similar way while your enemies didn't" Blitzo argued.

"I'll get it done, just give me the information about this bitch and everyone will be happy"

Mrs. Mayberry grumbled the woman's name and where to find her. Blitzo grimaced when he saw the location. It was still in the same town as Jenny's, but it was way far off. He was going to have a bitch of a time looking for clues. Whatever, this was his chance to go top side so he would take it.

He ushered Mrs. Mayberry out of his office just in time for her to see Moxxie shot off his crossbow. The arrow bounced around the room and knocked Blitzo's eel tank over. Next thing anyone knew the whole office started on fire.

"Damnit, Moxxie. I just bought those eels!"

/

"Don't worry, we'll get that skank in less than 24 hours or your first kill is free!" Blitzo told Mrs. Mayberry as she left the office.

Behind them firefighters were coming out of the building after putting out the office fire that Moxxie accidentally started.

"Since when did we offer that service?" Moxxie asked.

Blitzo slowly turned around and gave him a creepy smile.

"Since when you set fire to my office in front of a CLIENT YOU FUCKING DICKSHIT!" he yelled.

"Now someone please tell me that fancy book is still intact!"

Loona lazily pulled it from her back pocket.

"You mean our only ticket to the other side? Got it"

"And that's why you're my favorite, Loonie" Blitzo cooed.

Lonna rolled her eyes and opened up the portal to the other side.

"Just get out of here already"

She headed off to do some shopping around the city. Since the building was blocked off it's not like she was able to work.

"Alright gang, let's go lick some ass!" Blitzo said.

"The expression is 'kick some ass', B" Millie corrected.

"Mine's better"

The two of them jumped through the portal while Moxxie stayed behind for a few seconds.

"Why do I have a bad feeling about this job?"

With that he jumped into the portal and had it closed behind him.

Not even a second later, Jenny came bolting down the sidewalk and made it in front of the building.

"Finally! I'm here!"

She was so excited that she finally made it to Blitzo's building that she didn't realize firefighters were there as well. When her excitement died down, she did notice them and panicked. She thought something might have happened to Blitzo.

"Blitz!"

She ran to the building but was stopped by a firefighter.

"Sorry ma'am but we can't have anyone inside"

"My best friend works here! He's probably inside"

"Trust me, ma'am everyone left the building. I saw a group of IMP's leave not even a few seconds ago. Think they said they had to go to their next assignment or something"

Jenny felt her heart drop. She just found Blitzo's office, and he was in the living realm doing work. They just kept missing each other by a tiny bit.

Feeling the shock finally go away, she leaned her body against the building and slowly slid down. She pulled her knees to her chest and curled into a ball.

"We're never going to see each other, are we?" she said quietly.

If she didn't feel like she was in Hell before, she was now. Having to stay down here without the people who loved and cared about you was torture.

"What the fuck are you doing over here, toots?"

Jenny looked up to see Angel and a woman with one eye standing over her.

"Angel? Why are you here?" she asked.

"I just asked you that question, tits" Angel said.

He went over to her and offered her one of his hands.

"Sinners don't really venture to IMP City" he said as he pulled her up.

Jenny brushed off her skirt and ignored the stares that she was given.

"I…had my reasons for being here" she said.

"But you didn't answer my question. Why are you here if Sinners don't come over here?"

Angel gestured to his companion.

"Cherri came up with a new explosive that she wanted to try out and there are a lot of abandoned buildings in this part of town" he said.

Cherri Bomb twirled one of her bombs on the tip of her finger.

"I can't wait to see that little steampunk bitch's face when I throw this at his airship" she said.

She pocketed the bomb and held her hand out.

"I'm Cherri Bomb, but you can call me Cherri"

Jenny offered her hand and shook it.

"I'm Jennifer but everyone calls me Jenny"

Cherri's eye lit up with she saw her face better.

"Hey, I know you! You're that woman who called Katie Killjoy an STD riddled cunt on live TV!"

Angel cackled as he remembered that day.

"I told you this broad is a bad bitch. She may not look like it, but she's got a mouth on her. You should have seen what she did to Alastor the other day"

Jenny glared at him.

"That was all your fault. I almost got eaten because you were redecorating. And for the record that was the ugliest shade of pink I ever saw. It looked like Strawberry Shortcake had an orgy in your room and she didn't bother to clean up after herself"

Cherri cackled and slapped Angel in the arm.

"Oh, I like her. And she's staying at that hotel with you?"

"I'm one of the staff members. I'm supposed to be a life coach so to speak" Jenny explained.

That made Cherri even more happy.

"Shit, if you're going to be teaching Sinners how to better themselves then Heaven is in for a rude awakening. I might have to check in to see how this unfolds"

Jenny raised an eyebrow and turned to Angel.

"You told her about the hotel?"

Angel shrugged like it wasn't a big deal.

"She's, my bestie. I tell her everything. I even told her about that loser fiancée of yours that you left behind"

"He is not a loser, and I didn't leave him behind!" Jenny snapped.

"He doesn't sound husband material from what you said so he's a loser" Angel corrected.

"So, care to explain why you were here? You never said why"

"I never said I was going to give you an explanation" Jenny corrected.

"But my reasons for coming here got ruined so I'm just going to head back to the hotel"

"Come hang out with us! We'll be much more fun than sitting around in some old hotel" Cherri insisted.

"No no, that's fine. You guys look like you were doing other things, I don't want to interfere" Jenny said.

Angel wrapped one of his arms around her shoulders.

"Come on, toots. Let's go shopping! You need new threads, and this is our last chance to have fun before the cleanse starts"

"I've been hearing everyone talking about this cleanse thing and I don't know what that is"

Cherri raised her eyebrow in shock.

"She's still new around here" Angel clarified.

"We'll explain about the cleanse while we're out. So, what do you say? Feel like hanging out with us?"

"If I say no, will you let me go back to the hotel?" Jenny asked dully.

"Nope!" Angel and Cherri said in unison.

They dragged the poor woman away from Blitzo's building. Jennifer sighed as she thought about her friend.

'I hope Blitz is having a better day than I am'

/

Blitzo clutched his arm as he ran through the forest. The sound of gunshots behind him echoed in his ears.

This woman that they were supposed to kill for Mrs. Mayberry turned out to be a very tricky target. They were expecting some dumb bitch but instead they were dealing with a mad woman. This would have been a different story if Moxxie had let him do the killing shot. The smaller Imp saw that there were kids in the room, and he panicked. He may have killed others for a living, but he didn't want to traumatize the kids. At the last second, he pushed Blitzo's gun to the side, so it hit the wall instead of their target. Instead of freaking out that she almost got shot, the woman did the exact opposite and she and her own family grabbed their guns and started hunting for them. The three Imps spread out so it would be harder to be caught but he could hear the woman getting closer.

He hid behind a tree and tried to catch his breath.

"I know you're hurting, little devil!"

Blitzo covered his mouth so no one would hear him breathing. He heard the woman walk past him a few away.

"I can make it end all quick" she called out.

"Just come let momma Martha put a bullet in your pretty little skull"

When she walked past him, he quietly sighed in relief. That peace was quickly short lived as his phone went off. He quickly grabbed it and turned it on, not needing to see who was on the other line.

"Stolas now is not a good time" he hissed.

"Hmmmm, when is it a good time, Blitzy?" Stolas cooed.

Blitzo growled in annoyance. He knew it wasn't really the prince's fault, but he blamed him for what happened to Jenny. If he didn't have to do the whole seeing each other on a full moon once a month, he would have seen Jenny off work and made sure she was safe.

"What do you want?" He hissed.

"I just wanted to talk about our theme for when we see each other again this month. Since it's December, why not go with something a little festive to match the holidays?"

Bang!

Blitzo ducked when a bullet went through the tree, he was standing behind seconds ago.

"I can hear you, darlin" Martha taunted.

"Shit!" Blitzo hissed as he ran away.

Stolas of course was oblivious to what was happening on the other line.

"Anyhoo, I thought it would be fun if you dressed up as Santa since you'll be visiting my home and I could dress up as a reindeer that you get to ride. Doesn't that sound exotic?"

Blitzo dove behind another bush and growled in annoyance. He had a weird mind but even he could admit Stolas was a whole other type of weird.

"I don't have time to listen to your weird, sick fantasies, ok? I'm trying not to get fucked in my A"

Just then another bullet zipped past him, inches from hitting his face.

"Oh, come on, Blitzy. Think of how cute and ironic it would be if we did this? A couple of Hell born beings making fun of a Christian holiday in such a vulgar way. It'll be fun"

"Fine. Whatever!" Blitzo snapped.

He didn't really care. He just wanted to get Stolas off the phone so he could focus on not getting killed. He would deal with the prince when he got to it.

"Oh, Blitzy, I'm so excited! I can't wait until you shove your- "

Blitzo dropped the phone when Martha appeared behind him and jabbed the back of her rifle into his throat.

"Got ya!" she cried.

"So, you're a little devil. Come to drag me and my kin to Hell?"

She jabbed the gun harder into his throat. A crazy look appeared in her eyes as she did so.

"Well not today, Satan! Gonna send y'all back where you came from"

Blitzo struggled to get away, but he was pinned down.

Today was not a great day for him.

/

Back in Hell, Jenny followed Angel and Cherri around the city looking at stores and what they had to offer. She noticed a lot of places were having huge sales dule to the upcoming cleanse. She could see Sinners and demons carrying bags full of supplies and hurrying around.

"I guess everyone is doing last minute shopping before the holiday season, huh?"

Angel and Cherri looked at each other before making a face.

"Nah, everyone is getting ready for the cleanse. Everyone wants to stock up before that happens, so they don't have to venture outside" Cherri said.

"What is the cleanse? No one will tell me what it's about" Jenny said.

Angel looked around for a moment before he spotted a bar.

"Let's go inside here, toots. You're gonna want to sit down for this"

The three of them went inside this small bar and took a seat in one of the booths in the back. Angel made sure no one was nearby before he began his story.

"The cleanse is another word we like to call for Extermination Day" he said.

Jenny felt chills run up her spine when she heard that.

"What's…that" she asked slowly.

"You know how humans celebrate New Year's Eve with parties and celebrations? Well, it's the exact opposite for down here" Cherri said.

"Every day, people die and they either wind up here or in heaven. 99 percent of the time they tend to come down here and as you can imagine, that makes things a little crowded. There's not enough space to house everyone, Sinners are fighting each other for lands and souls. It's a huge fucking mess" Angel added.

"Anyway, since a lot of people end up here when they die, that means less room for everyone. And since everyone in Heaven are such pricks, they decided once a year they would help us with traffic control and thin out the heard so to speak"

"Y-you mean they…?"

"That's right. A special group of angels known as Exterminators will come down to Hell and for the next 24 hours kill any demon or sinner, they can get their hands on. And you don't just die and regain conciseness like with what happened with snake boy a few weeks back. You die, die thanks to their fancy weapons"

Jenny felt bile raise up in her throat. How was this even allowed?! Everyone who wound up here was already paying the price! Why did they have to suffer any more than that?

"And Charlie's dad is letting this happen?" she asked.

"He doesn't really have a choice" Angel said.

"I mean, as the ruler of Hell he kind of does, but at the same time he knows it's the only way to keep power in balance. No one likes it but that's just how it is"

Jenny suddenly felt angry. How dare Heaven do this? It's not like Lucifer was shoving Sinners up to Heaven because Hell was getting full.

"That's not fair!"

"Since when was anything fair down here?" Cherri asked.

Now it made sense why Charlie wanted this hotel to work. She didn't want to see others get killed simply because Hell got overpopulated every year. She wanted to spare them from a cruel fate.

The somber mood was interrupted when a waiter came up to their booth.

"Welcome! I take it you three want to get your last drinks in before the big day?"

Everyone gave the waiter a nasty look.

"Anyway, just so you know we have a special event going on for such an occasion! We're having a singing contest and whoever wins gets their drinks for free!"

Angel perked up at the mention of free booze. He was tempted to sing but he didn't want to risk the chance of being spotted by one of Valentino's men.

But he knew of another way of getting his free booze.

"Toots, you've gotta participate!"

Jenny made a face at him.

"I'm not singing for drunks" she spat.

"Oh, come on! You told me you wanted to perform and what better way than at a bar. That's where a lot of good performers get their start!"

"And it's free booze! How can you say no to free booze?" Cherri insisted.

"If you two want freeze booze then you guys can sing" Jenny countered.

"Uh uh, it has to be you! Everyone's heard you sing but I haven't. I feel left out" Angel pouted.

Jenny's eye twitched in annoyance.

"Do you really think giving me the puppy dog eyes will make me do it?"

"If you don't want to do it, you could always tell us why you went to IMP City" Angel countered.

Jenny got up and grumbled.

"If they throw shit at me or make crude remarks, you're getting a beer bottle shoved up your ass" she warned.

"Ohhhhh, kinky"

Jenny stomped over to the counter and put her name in for the contest. She saw a few Sinners eyeballing her and whispering behind their hands.

'I'm whoring myself out for booze. Look how low I've fallen' she thought.

The bartender held out a clipboard with song choices to pick from. Jenny didn't like any of the options and came up with her own song to sing. The bartender just shrugged when she mentioned what she wanted to sing and walk away. He probably had heard so many bad songs that he just drowned them out.

When it came time for the contest to start, all of the contestants went to the mini stage in the back of the bar. Some of them sang pretty good while others were either bad or too drunk to sing properly. Jenny came up next after the last Sinner staggered off. She could feel a bunch of eyes staring at her. It seemed like they weren't expecting a whole lot out of this messily looking Sinner.

Well, she was going to show them. Grabbing the mic, she started her song.

Shadows in lights

Will lead me to the blue again

I'm longing, so longing for them

To lead me to…you again

Shine sun…burned my eyes

Been so long, so long, they want to cry

I'm in my room, ask me why, oh deepest blue, can be satisfied

My longing, my longing….

Will lead me to the blue again

My longing, my longing…

Will lead me to you again.

Dark is the night

But then…

We begin to dream again

It's dawning, it's dawning

And then…

It leads me to breathe again

Shine sun, burned my eyes

Been so long, so long, they want to cry

I'm in my room, ask me why, oh deepest blue, can be satisfied

My longing, my longing…

Will lead me to the blue again

My longing, my longing…

Will lead me to you again

My heart breaths blue

My heart breaths blue

My heart breaths blue

My heart breaths blue

My heart breaths blue

My heart breaths blue

My heart breaths blue

My heart breaths blue

When she finished singing, she was rewarded to the sound of everyone clapping.

"Looks like we have a winner!" Angel cried.

Jenny rolled her eyes and got off the stage. When she made it back to the booth, Angel and Cherri were grinning ear to ear.

"Well, well, well. Looks like Charlie wasn't lying when she said you could sing" Angel said.

"This just proves you shouldn't have listened to that pecker that you call a fiancée"

Jenny waved him off and sat further in her seat.

"Who's got a pecker fiancée?" Cherri asked.

"Songbird here" Angel gestured to Jenny.

"When I first met her, she told me about how she wanted to become an actress when she was still alive. And instead of her fiancée being supportive of her dreams, he told her that it was a better to have a real job instead of a childish one"

"What a dick! I can blow him up with my new explosive if you want!" Cherri offered.

Jenny made a face at the thought of David being blown up. He could be bull headed but that didn't warrant him being killed.

"No thank you" she said slowly.

"Besides, he's not down here, he's…. still alive"

If she was expecting these two to be sympathetic, she was very wrong. They seemed happy by it.

"Then now's your chance to fulfill your dream, toots!" Angel said.

"We have a couple theaters down here. Just because it's Hell doesn't mean we don't like being entertained"

The waiter came over with their drinks at that time.

"Here are your winning drinks. Everyone seemed to enjoy your singing, Ms. Nightingale"

"Well would you look at that, there's your stage name" Angel teased.

"I can just picture it now: 'Tonight's special guest at the Pentagram Theater: Jenny Nightingale! The songbird of Hell!'. That would work as a stripper name too"

"Cute" Jenny said flatly.

"Anyway, I'm not focused on pursuing my dream now that I know that I could be killed a second time by a group of angels that come down here once a year"

"As long as you're not out, you'll be fine. The Exterminators don't like attacking in close spaces" Cherri said.

"Oh, that's reassuring" Jenny said sarcastically.

"Don't think we'll let this go toots. Once Extermination Day is over, we're taking you to a theater to perform"

'My hope is to be back home by then' Jenny thought.

A song started playing that caught Angel's attention.

"Holy shit, they're playing our song, Cherri!"

He grabbed the girl's arm and dragged her to the stage in the back.

"We gotta sing thing!"

Jenny watched the two friends singing. Seeing them made her miss Blitzo even more. They would always do things together like this.

She looked at her drink watching as the condensation dripped down the side of the glass.

"My longing, my longing…will lead me to you again" She sang quietly.

/

After a long crappy day, things were finally looking up. Blitzo and Millie almost got burnt alive thanks to Martha, but they were saved when Moxxie put a bullet through her head.

The little Imp saved the day but at the same time it was his fault this even happened so technically he didn't save it.

But the worse was over and the target was killed so Blitzo was able to look past that.

"Alright gang, I think we've had enough fun here for one day. Let's head back before someone else tries to kill us"

"Um, just one moment, Sir. I left something back at the cabin and I want to get it" Moxxie said.

Blitzo rolled his eyes. Normally one would say leave it, but they didn't want anyone to know that Imps were able to enter the living world.

"Make it quick, ok?"

He pulled out his phone to tell Loona to open up the portal while they waited for Moxxie to return.

The imp really didn't leave anything back at the cabin, but he wanted to make things right by the target's family. Thanks to him that family lost a mother and a wife all at once.

When he reached the cabin, he saw Martha's husband trying to console their kids.

"Don't move" he ordered. He was trying to be nice, but he was not taking any chances with this family.

Ralphie scoffed at him.

"What are you going to do, little guy? Shoot us?"

"I should, you people are monsters" Moxxie admitted.

"But you should have a chance at a life. Look at your kids, they have their whole future ahead of them. You are going to face your crimes justly. I will call your earthly authorities and they will make sure you are dealt with fairly"

He grabbed what he thought was a phone, only to see that it was the remote to the tv.

"Ummm, do you have a phone to summon 9-1-1?" he asked.

"Yeah, it's in the kitchen" Ralphie said.

Moxxie nodded and went into the kitchen to retrieve the phone. He found it and was starting to dial 9-1-1 when he noticed a bunch of papers scattered around the counter. Some of them were photos and character sheets of someone. When got a better look, his blood ran cold.

"No" he whispered.

Grabbing the papers, he held one up to see that the person in the photos was Jennifer. Forgetting the phone, he stormed back in the living room and confronted Ralphie.

"This woman! How do you know her?!" he demanded.

Ralphie looked at the photo before shrugging.

"We don't know her. Someone paid my wife and I to use her for our yearly Satanic sacrifice. Don't know who it was that talked to my wife on the phone but all I know was that in order for the ritual to work we needed her"

Moxxie wanted to throw up. All this time that Jennifer was missing, it turned out she was dead.

He felt tears start to pool up in the corner of his eyes. Why would anyone want to harm Jenny?

"S-she was a good person. Why would you do such a cruel thing like that to her?" he said quietly.

Ralphie scoffed in disgust.

"It's not like we tore her away from her family or anything. Bitch didn't even have one to begin with. No one is going to miss her"

Something in Moxxie snapped when he heard that. Crushing the photo in his hand, he glared at Ralphie.

"She did have a family…hers just looked a little different than others" he hissed.

He pulled out his shotgun and undid the safety.

"You know what? I changed my mind. I'm not going to let your earthly authorities take care of you…I will"

He aimed his gun right at the three of them. Ralphie panicked and held his kids close.

"W-what about that whole my kids having a future speech you just said moments ago?!"

"That woman you killed had a future too, but you didn't care about it" Moxxie spat.

When he put his finger on the trigger, the rest was a blur to him.

/

When he could finally think clearly again, Moxxie rushed back to where Blitzo and Millie were. Part of him felt horrible for killing a whole family but at the same time he felt like he did the living world a favor. That whole group was a bunch of monsters and if he had let them live, they would have harmed others.

He looked at the papers he stole from the cabin. He didn't know how he was going to tell Blitzo about this, but he needed to know. He needed to know he was looking for a woman who had been dead for a few months now.

When he reached them, he saw them waiting for him.

Blitzo pulled out Jenny's phone from his pocket and made sure it wasn't damaged or burnt from the attack. He sighed with relief when he didn't see a single scratch.

"Jenny would have my head if she found her phone banged up" he told himself.

Moxxie gulped when he saw his boss fawning over the phone. He didn't want to break the news to him, but it had to be done.

They all entered the portal where Loona was lazily waiting for them.

"That took a while" she said dully.

"We had a tricky target to kill" Millie admitted.

"No thanks to Moxxie" Blitzo added.

When he saw the sad look on the smaller Imp's face he frowned.

"Don't take it so personally, Mox. We got the job done in the end"

Moxxie bit his lip and slowly pulled the papers from his jacket.

"Sir…I think you need to see these" he said shakily.

Blitzo raised an eyebrow but took the papers. When he saw who was on the photos, everything went deadly still. Millie and Loona peaked over to see what had the guys so freaked out and they had similar reactions when the saw Jennifer's face.

"No way"

Blitzo ignored them and just kept staring at the photos. They didn't seem like out of the ordinary but considering who took those photos and who they were fighting with just hours ago, it didn't take him long to realize what Moxxie was trying to tell him.

Moxxie bit his lip to keep him from crying.

"I think I know why we've been having a hard time trying to find her…it's because she's not here anymore" he sniffled.

Tears welled up in Millie's eyes when she realized what was going on.

"Oh, Jenny" she sobbed.

Loona looked at her dad to see his reaction. She was expecting him to freak out or cry like Millie and Moxxie but what she saw freaked her out a little. It wasn't the expression he was wearing that bothered her, it was the fact that he had no expression on at all. It was as if he was just a statute frozen in place.

Slowly, she reached over to touch his shoulder.

"Um, da- "

Blitzo pushed past her and stormed into his office, locking the door behind him. He pressed his back against the door as he looked at the photos. The days events played in his head and filled in the empty gaps of his search for Jenny.

Martha was the one who kidnapped Jenny from her work. That was her voice he heard on the phone. She tried to sacrifice Millie and himself in a satanic ritual…something she mentioned on the phone.

The sound of his heart beating and a loud ringing buzzed in his ears.

Jenny was used in Martha's ritual as a sacrifice.

Jenny was dead.

Like a switch, Blitzo snapped. In a blind fit of rage, he flipped his desk over and trashed his whole office. Anything he could get his hands on; it was torn to pieces. When he couldn't break anything else, he fell to his knees and screamed until his throat became sore. He pressed his head into the carpet and slammed his fist to the ground.

"No, no, no" he whimpered.

Jenny couldn't be dead! She just couldn't be! The only person who he truly cared about was taken away from him.

Pulling out her phone, he looked at it and sobbed. He curled himself into a ball and let his heart bleed for the woman he loved.

"I'm sorry, Jenny" he sobbed.

"I'm sorry I couldn't protect you"

If Blitzo wasn't living in Hell before, he sure did now.

A/N: Poor Blitzo! He thinks Jenny is dead! I feel horrible making the I.M.P gang think that, but it had to be done. But everything will be fixed soon though.

So now we know who kidnapped Jenny that Halloween night. It was crazy Martha! I thought it would be a fun way to tie in the first episode of Helluva Boss into the story like this.

Looks like Jenny might have added a new friend to her group. I know we didn't see Cherri Bomb a lot, but she'll appear a lot more soon.

And now we know how Jenny got her Overlord name. Nothing like getting your start at a bar.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter! Please tell me what you think!

Take care!
