A/N: Part 1 of my attempt to get 20 new installments or stories up for my own birthday (20th). Pathetic, I know, but that's how I choose to spend my free day.
"I'm afraid I can't help you Mr. Miser." The demon sighed. He hated working these cases himself, and if he didn't think his agents could be persuaded. He despised having to go to the upper Echelon powers. Not that the Miser brothers worked for the Powers. "Besides, we don't deal in such petty matters."
"You grant bitter women vengeance. All I'm asking for is a head cold."
"He works for the Powers now, we can't give him a head cold." D'Hoffryn was exasperated. "Were he still demonic, then perhaps we could have swung something. But as you know, Mother Nature fixed that."
"Yes, Mother did, didn't she?"
"I can only reassure you that living in such Northern Exposure, he's most likely to get a head cold." D'Hoffryn grinned slyly. "We might be able to swing the flu."
"It worked last time. I got to reign over the North Pole for one day." The Heat Miser grinned. "I wanna give him another green Christmas."
