Chapter 6

When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose. Then the LORD said, "My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years." The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown. (Genesis 6:1-4, English Standard Version)

Wake up! A recognizable voice screamed and John Constantine who woke up, he looked around the taxi cab and the scenery has change, it was a forest or at least is what they called this, since he was from L.A. we wasn't used to the outdoors…and frankly he hated it…no tacos or Italian coffee…just woods and squirrels...he knock at the drivers glass.

-"Yes sir"- the happy taxi driver asked.

-"Where are we?"- John asked while getting his stuff on an army bag.

-"We are barely 10 minutes from your destination­"- he replied with a neutral tone.

-"Stop"- John had a hunch, the bad kind.

-"Are you sure sir? This place gives me creeps?"- The driver responded.

-"Right"- Thanks for your service he said while leaving the car with the bag and running into the woods. "Thanks for bringing me here", he added

The driver morph into the seraph humanly known as Chas….the game has just started.

The current was strong and on a downhill drop…it was getting faster so it was possible to assume that it ended somewhere fast and deep like a fall, Hellboy was a strong swimmer but even him had problems staying on top…he could only guessed what happened to Lowe…

A couple of minutes later he found a rock in the middle of the current and used the right hand of doom to absorb part of the hit, a normal man would have dislocated his shoulder at the speed he collapsed against the water, but he wasn't a common man… he was Hellboy.

Hellboy tried to used the whip to grab a branch outside the river and tried several times without any result, persevere he told himself…Dad always said to keep trying to get it right, and then do it again just in case the first time was luck…and then he saw him, a couple of yards away…the body of Lowe was dangling in between a couple of rocks…he could see him breathing hard maybe he broke a couple of ribs but he was alive, Aquaman made it, lucky kid.

"Lowe" Hellboy screamed to get his attention.

"Hellboy" a guttural voice replied back…"where are you?"

"Behind you, don't worry sport I'll get you out here" Hellboy screamed back, he was a responsible leader now; he couldn't bear to see a comrade fall out of negligence or incompetence.

"Ok, I'm not going anywhere" Lowe replied back with a broken laugh.

Hellboy then tried again to use the whip and got a low branch of a nearby tree…he succeeded on his next try; he might actually pull this one out…

"Lowe, are you capable?" Hellboy screamed trying to get his attention; he knew that if Lowe had any broken bone the risk of hypothermia would increase exponentially.

"Yes" Lowe was just thinking about his wife and his beautiful two daughters; he promised himself if he ever makes it he would resign this crazy job.

"Catch" Then Hellboy let the whip go…for a second he almost expected to Lowe to let go of the whip, but the agent had a strong will to live and grab it with an iron fist…he started pulling himself out to the shallow part, a couple of minutes who was outside the water and threw the whip back to Hellboy, he was happy to have survived and almost let a smile go…his boss came to his rescue, he would be forever grateful.

He never felt the sharp blade behind his back that severed his head from his body… the rest of him felt motionless like a puppet without strings…

A second later a shotgun was heard and the Hessian was thrown inside the river, he almost instantly started to burn, It was white fire…magical fire, the Hessian was trying to escape… it was going to make it away from the shore, little did he know that the hunter was no other than John Constantine and he had already a holy water ampoule to finish the job…a stone hand grab the Hessian by the cape….a strong killer grip…there was no absolution for crazy German spirits that killed Hellboy friends.

-"Stop, you'll get burned"- Constantine shouted to the shadow in the water.

-"Don't worry I'm fireproof"- screamed back Hellboy.

-"You're fireproof?"- Constantine repeated the sentence to himself.

A second later the sun came from behind and the spirit exploded leaving dust and ashes everywhere, they haven't been able to see each other but good reflexes tell you that they were getting ready for anything.

When the ashes cleared John Constantine a man who had beaten the devil, escape cancer and perform every kind of exorcism known to man saw for the first time a full fledge demon in the water…his name was Hellboy.

The Holy shotgun aim and shoots…
