Chapter Twelve

*Here's Where We Are*

A black cat swiftly bounded along the stairs of the fire escape, stopping at an open window. Peering inside the unlit room, the cat rubbed its nose slightly with its paw before listening intently.

Dark, velvety ears twitching, the cat stayed a moment outside the window before finally entering, seeming to be satisfied with the noise, or lack thereof that had been detected from inside the room.

"Took you long enough," a voice called out to the cat, who had jumped onto the couch and was curling into a comfortable sleeping position.

The owner of the voice, a brown haired girl with glasses on, stepped over to the couch, and before she had reached it the cat had transformed itself into a short young woman.

"'Ay, Gyps, What's the matter with you?" The girl with glasses asked, poking her friend in the side.

"Go away, Jester," the girl on the couch replied swatting Jester's hand away defensively, "I'm just thinking…"

"Don't hurt yourself," Jester snickered, a smirk falling upon her features.

The silence that continued afterwards slowly scratched away her smile, and soon a look of puzzlement took its place; confusion over her friend's silence etched onto Jester's brow.

Jack rubbed his hands together, grinning mischievously at Spot, who held a newspaper clipping tight in his grasp.

"This it?" Jack asked, tilting his head slightly towards a tall office building.

Spot looked down at the paper in his hand and then back up at the building, "Yeah," he affirmed, "This is definitely it."

They shared a devious smirk and headed in the front doors.

* * * * *

The stygian triplets sat on a couch, pretending to be relaxed and calm as Azrael paced angrily before them.

"You say the girl has already met the Prophets?" He snapped, mid-step.

One of the three boys cleared his throat before answering with a shaky, "Yes…."

"The best course of action is to insure that our parcel is not found," Azrael muttered to himself, "And being that I can't even trust you enough to kill a girl, I'm left with no choice but to seek outside assistance in guarding our package."

He sighed heavily in annoyance and faced the boys, stating simply, "I'm going to have to summon the Golgothan."

Rufus sat on a park bench, idly picking pieces of fuzz off of a pair of pants and a shirt he had found in a nearby dumpster.

"It's amazing the shit people throw away," he remarked, flicking a large particle of dust off the shirt.

"I appreciate the loan," Rufus said to Mush, handing him his coat, "You can have this back."

Blink made a face at the coat, "Lucky you…." He muttered sarcastically.

Tori rolled her eyes, "Alright Rufus," she said, and his head perked up at the sound of his name, "How about you start explaining things to me."

"Like what?"

"Like, for starters, who the hell are those kids that keep attacking me?" Tori questioned in an irritated tone.

"Ah," Rufus nodded knowingly, "Nasty little bastards called the Stygian Triplets."

"So they're brothers?" Blink asked casually, stretching his arms above his head.

"They're not really related," Rufus informed him, "When they were alive they were a trio of kids that snatched some little kid off the street and smashed its skull in. 'Just to see what it looked like,' I believe was their brilliant defense. They were killed in a car wreck on the way to the detention center."

Tori's face paled considerably as she envisioned the act described.

She gulped, "So they're dead too?"

"You'd be surprised at how many dead people are walking around – We're stubborn bastards," Rufus replied calmly, "Thing is, those kids are supposed to be in hell. Which means that someone wants you out of the picture so badly they're willing to summon demons."

"Is it those two angels I'm supposed to stop?" Tori asked.

"Couldn't be," Rufus told her thoughtfully, then added, "They're not evil – they're just stupid."

"Wait a minute," Blink cut in, waving his hands at Tori, "Are you going to listen to this shit? For all you know, he's in with those fucks! They both showed up at the same time."

Tori chewed her lip for a moment, before saying, "As much as I hate to say it, he," she gestured to Blink, "Has a point. How did you know where to find us?"

"You know what the dead do with most of their time?" Rufus asked rhetorically, "They watch the living. Especially in the shower."

Blink looked at Mush, "I can't wait to die."

Tori glanced back at Blink before turning to Rufus, "And why are you watching me?"

Rufus sighed, "Because you're the one who's going to help me get some changes made in that book you all hold so much stock in."

"And that would be….?" Tori prompted.

"The Bible."

She stared at him for a moment, waiting for him to laugh and to say the actual name of the book he was talking about. His placid face was enough to tell her that it was not a joke.

Her eyebrows narrowed in a skeptic expression. Leaning back into the bench she crossed her legs and drummed her fingers on her thighs.

"What do you have against the Bible?"

An indignant look graced his dark features as his neck straightened considerably, holding his head higher as he scoffed at her.

"I'm not in it."

* * * * *

She brushed her long light-brown hair one final time before turning away from the mirror, facing her companion.

"Smile!" She commanded lightly, shaking the hairbrush threateningly.

The other girl cracked a large showgirl grin and let a high pitched squeal escape her mouth.

"Okay…." The first girl said, shaking her head, "Not that smile."

She tugged a chin length strand of curly red hair.

"Just kidding."

"Thank god," the brown haired girl muttered.

Another red lock was pulled as she stuck out her tongue.

"Ugh, I don't want to think about the g-word…..thank someone else."

A pair of shoulders shrugged slightly, upsetting the flow of perfectly smooth chocolate hair.

"Can't…..don't know anyone else to thank…"

Green eyes crinkled at the corners in a smile and a mischievous fire lit up brightly behind them.

"All out of ideas?"

Blue eyes matched the green and a mouth twitched into a very grimace-like smirk.

"Imagine that…."

AN: Wow……I did it……I finished this chapter and revamped the whole story in one night. So do me a favor, press that little review button and tell me your opinion of it! Really really truly anything is welcome, because I can't get any better if none of you tell me what I'm doing wrong! Though I won't say I don't love it when someone tells me they think my stories are funny……I just love that! I try to be funny at least…….hyuck…..oh, and don't worry if you're confused by the ending, it might make more sense if you know dogma, and it will make sense by the next chapter or two……so yeaaaaah…..

Comments:

Mondie: YOU FINALLY WERE PUT IN! Okay okay…..so I neglected to mention any names……..BUT THAT WAS STILL YOU!!!!! I'm so amazingly sorry that it took this many……err……months to update……I luffle you!

Falco: I finally did it! I finally wrote more! I really really really did it! Sorry you're not in this one, but I think you'll be in soon again!

Skittles: Of course I feel special! How could I not feel special?! Well…..here's more……finally…….eh heh……*ducks head in shame*

Ali: HA! I bet you'd totally given up hope on me! Go on! Admit it! You did! Yeah well…….PPHHBBTTT!! *sticks out tongue* Just kidding! I wuv you!

Tiger: You are in it! Yay! I swear your name will come up eventually, lol……if not in the next chapter then the one after, I swear it, even if I have to write a 50 page chapter just to get to it!

Pyromaniacal Llama: You know what? You're RIGHT! No one updates anymore! Well…….for at least ONE day I am breaking the mold! So here is your update! Enjooooooooooooooooy!

Rumor: Yes! I have an explanation for everything! Well……sort of……My ending is really super twisted. I'm not even sure how I'm going to make it all work, but I'll manage. I'm adding in more characters of the mythological sense, but they aren't somebody else's or mine, they're just specific beings from mythology. See if you can guess which ones! Lol, I had to add them in to make all the other characters I'd added work……it's so sad……..I think that you'll sadly find some of the characters belong to their own subplot, so not everything has some amazing connection to a brilliantly thought out conspiracy web-like plot line……because I'm just not that skilled……but I hope you like it anyway! *cheeky grin* oh! And yes, chris rock is still rufus. *sigh* I love that movie……

Bess: Thanks you much, m'dearie!
