Chapter 15, some realities are far worst than our dreams

The tarrytown road, 12:00 (7 hours till sundown)

-Hi Gabriel, I half expected you to be dead…as always you succeeded my expectations- Constantine said looking angrily at the face on front of him, it was not going o be a good day after all.

-Hi John, I have missed our little conversations…How is L.A? - Gabriel responded with an articulate voice while holding a gun to his face.

Skylar felt like punching in the gas and duck for cover just like in the movies, but something in John's eyes made her stop, he wanted information from the person in front of them…she wanted to run.

-L.A. is doing great without you! You shouldn't visit at all! - Constantine replied dryly.

-Still trying to buy your way into heaven John- Gabriel discarded John's comment, he had been informed of his duties by Abu-Jaria and he had to left his personal anger aside, but he'll have his revenge soon enough.

-What do I own the pleasure of your company?- Constantine asked while starting to have a coughing fit, he took a handkerchief and put it on his mouth…he didn't have to look…he knew it was stained with blood.

-I am been send here to inform you of your demise, my master want to do things properly- Gabriel asked while getting a small cigar out of his breast pocket.

-Oh my god! Does that means he is going to kill you?- Skylar was now shocked, it was one thing to see action movies and other to be on a real standout…this is so not cool.

-No kid, it means someone is going to collect my soul, he is just a messenger- Constantine responded to Skylar while putting his hand on her shoulder, he wanted to tell her things our going to be all right, but some lies are even beyond his reach…he then added –Who's buying?-

-"Morningstar"- Gabriel quickly replied.

-I hope you get a good deal- Constantine responded, so the devil has put a price tag in his head.

-We did…and all we need now is the key- Gabriel reacted with arrogance.

-Sorry, I don't know where I left mine's, probably in L.A.- Constantine was trying to buy time…to get his head in order, first the angel formerly known as Chas wanted me here and gave me a weapon to kill the humanoid, then I'm a bounty and crazy ex angels keep popping up, help me put here.

-John I'm going to need the girl too, so please tell her to step out of the vehicle-Gabriel's tone was more determine now.

-Why? What do I have to do with this? I was just helping a hitchhiker…- Skylar began to talk, but emotions started hug her for a second not comfort her…he hated when people got caught in the crossfire, this girl was an innocent bystander.

-There are no coincidences, only the illusion of coincidence- Constantine told the girl that was crying inconsolably, -But don't worry…I'll find you- He added while looking with disdain at Gabriel.

-Touching scene… a little dramatic for my taste but you humans seemed to like it…girl, now- Gabriel's eyes started to glow green.

-Ok kid, whatever happened don't…- Constantine started to talk but what cut off.

-Don't open your eyes, I know the drill, read it on the internet- Skylar said while leaving the vehicle, she had cleaned her tears with her sleeve and was walking toward Gabriel.

-Cute kid- Constantine told himself…., he looked at Gabriel signaling…-Now-

He felt as the bullets went inside of him; the explosion of the gun was heard around miles.

-No- Screamed Skylar while closing her eyes, just as he told her to.

Hellboy moved away of the vehicle and Abe and Manning, he needed to discharge the rage that boiled in his interior. How Liz was able to do that to me? Maybe she has met another person, because she didn't call me…is she afraid of me? Please tell me she is not pregnant… John has been away a while to get supplies in town, there is somewhat rare in that man… is a cynic but well he seems tired of living, as if the world would not offer him surprises and emotions, The clash in the morning with Avim went to our favor by pure luck, the next time we should be prepared…I believe that Abe and Manning should be gone, but they'll never me forgive me if I removed them from here.

Hellboy reclines in a tree, He is very tired …has not slept in almost 40 hours…before closing the eyes thinks about its father…as the strange thing, almost without being given account began to dream.

(Dream Sequence))

Hellboy felt that was again in the library of his father in New Jersey, was at late night dark and rainy outside, inside alone one the smell to wood burned and to old books they filled the stay of a family environment…father was at home, himself not as but this here…I feel him.

-Father? - Said Hellboy trying to see among the half-lights.

-My son- answered a familiar voice from the walkway.

Hellboy crossed the stay and got to a weak and slim old man that was behind the statue, he pressed him with force and for a moment felt as a boy in Christmas… he looked at him and quickly he realized that something badly missing…

-Father, where is your cane? - I Ask Hellboy inquisitively.

-Here I do not need it Hellboy- responded the professor Broom while speaking slowly.

-Since when you don't need it? - Hellboy was prying and looking around the outskirts…. there was something missing, the tank of Abe.

-Hellboy we are in the world of the dreams, in the reality I continue a dead person- responded the professor Broom with calm tenor; its voice was clean and without inflections…

-What do we do here? I believed that I could not dream? – Hellboy said looking around the library; he almost could not contain the crying.

-Always you have been a crybaby, but never a coward…interesting dichotomy that is…- The professor Broom smiled while put its arm on the shoulder of Hellboy.

-Father I am confused…- Hellboy began to speak.

-Is Liz my son-, Prof. Broom started to talk in a tone that resembles a story… the day that I carry her here for the first time you hid under a table because you were afraid to frighten her, she was still a little girl and played with your horns, you have shaved those horns every day since then.

-You recall it- Hellboy blushed alone to recall the emotion of that day… it seemed that God had blessed him al to send him an angel.

-Clear as that is, I am your father- The smile of the professor Broom was dispelled quickly and led to a serious face. –You should be ready my son, many forces are aligned in against yours- Added with a little worry.

-Father if you refer to the monster with wings…- Hellboy began to speak.

-Not that H.B, before that morning comes back you will have to see inside the heart of men- The professor began to hurry the step, as if something felt his presence.

-To see inside the heart of men? - Hellboy repeated for its innermost thoughts.

-Yes- answered the professor.

-But if this is a dream is possible that nothing is real? - Hellboy replied and began to doubt of what he felt at that time.

-Your heart has the answer- Said the Professor Broom while the dream itself faded.

-Father- Said Hellboy before the blackness of the dream threatened to swallow him.

Hellboy heard a gun shot and an explosion in the distance almost at the same time and he woke seeking The Samaritan in his inner holster…something bad just happened…and I believe that it has to he do with Constantine.

Hope you enjoy it, please review
