"There is a killing in a town not far from here." I nodded my head in response. It's been 3 days when Ace appeared in front of me and he never appeared since.
"Thatch and I will go Pops." Pops hummed in approval.
"Take care my sons."
*
"Marco! Seriously! What is wrong with you?" I bit my tongue and looked away from my brother who is currently gripping my collar.
"Marco don't think I didn't notice… you've been off since the incident in the shed." I sighed and shut my eyes. I can't tell him. I can't.
"I'm fine Thatch."
*
"One room please." We reached the town and immediately went to the nearby hotel to rest. Besides it's night time and I wanted to get a shut eye. The cashier gave us the key and we went to our room.
The room has two beds and I dropped my things beside my bed. Thatch didn't spoke that time so I also didn't. We slept with no exchange of words.

Knock Knock
The door opened and an old woman appeared in front of us. She must be in her 60's.
"How may I help you?" I brought the badge out of my coat and showed it to her.
"Good afternoon Ma'am. I'm Agent Jay and this is my partner Agent White. We are from the FBI and we're here to investigate about your son's death." Yes. We lied about our identities. It's normal for all of us especially if we need to gather some information.
The old woman was shocked and questioned. "Uhm… but the cops just came said that it is just a foul play. An accident." Thatch coughed and spoke.
"We just need to make sure Ma'am."

"So the kid's name is Ferguson. He died inside the house after eating a cupcake made by his girlfriend, Mist." I looked through the reports and found that the kid died because his heart got bitten which is… weird.
"It's the witch's doing." We are currently in the autopsy room when Thatch gave a cupcake to me that made me almost puke.
"What the fuck Thatch?" he chuckled while I threw him the pen I am currently holding. He just showed me the bloody cupcake. Shit.
"I'll interrogate the girlfriend yoi. Ok?" Thatch just waved his hand as I stood up and went to the girlfriend's house.
*
"So you just bake the cupcake and gave it to him?" The girl nodded as I continue to looked around for any possible signs of motive.
"Did you feel a cold atmosphere before you handed the cupcake to Ferguson?" I gotta be sure that it's a witch and not a ghost. The girl shook her head. I nodded my head and continued to look around.
"If you don't mind, can I look around?" The girl nodded again and walked away. As soon as I heard the door closed, I started to walked towards the kitchen. I opened the refrigerator and search for any possible witch crafty thingy's. Not here. I closed the refrigerator and continued to looked around.
After an hour, I finally found what I was looking for. It was hidden in the side of the oven so it's hard for me to see it. I examine it is a hex bag. Hex bag's are made by witches and it is composed of the victim's hair, a bone and a coin wrapped in a black cloth and tied with a rope. It brings death to the owner of the hair inside the bag. Bringing out my phone, I started to dial Thatch's number. Two rings before he answered the phone.
"Thatch—"
"Marco, you need to come back to the morgue. Another one died a while ago."
*
"She's the old lady from Ferguson's house. She was found dead inside Mist's house. Guess she was supposed to pay the girlfriend a visit when she accidentally slip while holding a knife and stabbed herself in the process." I hummed in approval as I gazed upon the corpse in front of us. Two are already dead this week and these two are related.
"Marco." That voice. I gasped as I felt the warmness of my suit started to escape from my body as I slowly turned around.
"Ace." I called out his name with my shaky breath and the angel nodded and started to approached me. Thatch immediately pulled out a gun and pointed it at him.
"Who are you?!" Ace didn't mind the gun pointing at him but he stopped walking towards me.
"The raising of Samhain… have you stopped him?" I put my hand on Thatch's gun and slowly lowered it. I sighed.
"This is Ace. The angel." Thatch's eyes widened and his jaw slightly dropped. I returned my focused to the angel.
"No, and we have no idea who that is. Besides, Who's your friend over there?" The Angel ignored my question and asked me another question.
"Have you located the witch?"
"Yeah, we've located the witch—" he cut me off.
"and is the witch dead?" Thatch answered him this time.
"No but—" I cut him off and end his statement.
"We know who it is." He put his hand in the pocket of his shorts and brought out a hex bag.
"Apparently the witch knows who you are." He said as he held out the bag.
"This was originally from the wall of your room. We hadn't found it surely one or both of would be dead. Do you know where the witch is now?" I glanced at my brother and he slightly tilted his head. I returned my attention to the man in front of me again.
"We're working on it."
"That's unfortunate." Wow. Now this angel is getting on my nerves.
"Shut up for a minute. Who the fuck is this Samhain?"
"In raising of Samhain, you need three dead people. And when Samhain will rise, one of the seals will be broken and when all of the seals are broken, Lucifer will break free." Lucifer?
"Lucifer? Your Buddy?" The man who was currently with Ace spoke.
"Lucifer is no friend of ours." I shouted back at the man.
"Who are you and why should I care?!" The man stood there and didn't spoke but Ace spoke in his behalf.
"This is Squard. He's what you might call a specialist." I raised my eyebrow. The feeling that I don't like this.
"What kind of specialist?" The man looked at Ace and nodded his head. Ace slightly bowed his head and looked at us again.
"Both of you need to leave this town immediately."
"Why?" I asked.
"Because we are about to destroy it."
