Andy's Apartment

Nica was sitting at the table, crying over the revelation that Andy had killed Alice. She couldn't believe he would keep a secret like that, but then again, what else was he hiding? As Nica had finished wiping away her tears, she heard the door behind her open. Knowing that the door was locked, Nica grew worried, and bolting up, she grabbed a knife on the table and threw it while turning around. Fortunately, the knife just bounced off the man harmlessly.

"Is that how you treat all your visitors?" Lucifer asked, amused.

"Only if they don't call ahead." Nica replied dryly. "What is it, Lucifer?"

"Andy is in trouble." Lucifer said. "He tried taking on Anuboll by himself."

"Yeah, I know." Nica said. "I also found out he killed Alice four years ago."

"I heard about that, and I don't fault you for being angry." Lucifer said. "But you have to put that aside for now. Because Andy has been dragged to Hell." At the mention of Hell, Nica winced, remembering that she screamed at Andy to go to Hell before he left.

"Oh God." Nica said, starting to cry again, but stopped. "But why should I help him? After what he did to Alice, maybe he deserves Hell."

"That may be, but did you ever hear Alice's input on this?" Lucifer asked, pouring himself a glass of scotch. "No, I don't suppose you did. Amenadiel whispered it to me before he died. He told me that just before she was kidnapped, Alice told him that she doesn't blame Andy. She knew the monster that Chucky really was. She wanted you to know that." At this point, Nica broke down in tears, realizing she indirectly condemned someone to Hell.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Nica asked while crying.

"I didn't think Anuboll would bring it up." Lucifer said. "But it doesn't matter. We need to bring Andy back."

"But how?" Nica asked.

"With this." Lucifer replied, opening his palm. Levitating off his fingers, was a coin. On one side, it showed a goat's head. On the other, an upside down pentagram. "This is my Pentecostal coin. I used this to get out of Hell once. I also once planned to get back to Hell, but I went via a bullet to the gut."

"I thought those were one use only." Nica said, remembering a story where he faced off with a crooked cop who came back from the dead. From what she heard, Lucifer had used the coin to come back to life after getting shot, and then the coin disintegrated.

"Oh, Father, no." Lucifer laughed. "That was just to mess with Malcolm. Now, before we go, are you ready?" Nica armed herself with a few guns, before saying, "Ready."

"Alright, hold on. It's going to be a bumpy ride." The devil grabbed Nica's arm, and then, flipping the coin in the air, they both teleported to Hell in a circle of flames.

Hell

"Ah!" Andy said, as he plunged the knife into Alice's chest, over and over again. "I'm sorry, it won't stop."

"It?" Alice said, surprised. "As if you had no part in this."

"No! I didn't want this!" Andy yelled, starting to panic.

"Look at you." Alice sneered. "You're weak. Funny, you're stuck in one these cells directly across from Charles Lee Ray, trapped by your own guilt. And while we're listing off how stupid you are, you didn't even listen to Anuboll. You know, what she said right before this became your permanent home."

"What?" Andy asked, before remembering. "She has other plans for Alice?"

"Duh! She has other plans for me."

"But I thought that was what demons do. They bullshit and try to fuck with people." Andy tried to piece together. "Unless she's saying this was her plan, in placing you here with me, where we'd be in an endless cycle of killing you?"

"You really are dumber than I thought." Alice sighed. "Anuboll always has a plan for everything. She even said you'd take Janice's place in Hell. So why would she need me there?"

"How do you know this?" Andy asked, afraid of the answer.

"Because I'm just in your head, as a figment of your guilty conscience." Alice explained. "I'm part of your personal Hell, which was designed by Anuboll in the first place. Speaking of which-" The knife reappeared in Andy's hand, and once more, he stabbed Alice's body again.

"I hope you didn't leave any unfinished business back on Earth." Alice said as Andy, crying, pulled away. Then with a grin, she added, "Because you're going to be here forever."
