Chapter Three: Murder Family Part 1

Xandar's P.O.V:

Three days working for the Immediate Murder Professionals. Three grueling days of judging looks, being yelled at and scrubbing the toilets. The gross, dirty and fucking disgusting toilets.

Was I grateful for this? No. Was I glad I was being helped? No. Would I still honor Stolas' deal? Do I even have a choice? Was I pissed off beyond all fucking belief? What do you think? If the answer was yes, very much so and absolutely. You would be correct.

As I'm scrubbing the last toilet, I can't help but think of the deal that was made. I know that, in all technicality, I did make a deal. But the troubling thing? Why would I make a deal like this?

Was it something in my life? Was it something that I wanted but didn't have? Was it-

I hear a scream and jump. As the scream repeats again and again, I realize it was the watch they provided me. Fucking stupid alarm. I guess-no, I know that they enjoy the sound and are used to it. As I press the off button, being greeted by the familiar pained grunt noise, I collect my basket of cleaning supplies and the toilet scrubber and head out of the bathroom.

As I make my way out, I see a demon looking around. "Um, excuse me...ma'am?" I ask and she turns to me. She looks surprised momentarily, but I'm used to it. She then sighs in annoyance and lights a cigarette. She seemed impatient. Was she-

"Can I HELP you?" She asks in annoyance before taking a drag of the cigarette and exhaling it. I sigh and decide to be nice. Kill 'em with kindness.

"Actually ma'am," I begin politely and she scowls. "Can I help you?" I ask with a kind grin. This only seems to aggravate her more, if her response was anything to go by.

"Can you tell me where the damn Immediate Murder Professionals are for fucks sake?" She demands. I take a deep breath, and blow out the air. Remember Xandar, kill 'em with kindness.

"They're in the office down the hall first door on the left," I explain. She pushes past me and I almost lose my footing. She doesn't thank me. That's fine, it's Hell after all.

I sigh dejectedly and put my stuff in the closet and walk to my office. As I open the door I sigh. It's a closet. There's a cheap flip phone for taking calls, a computer made entirely out of cardboard, and a small desk. At least there's an actual desk.

I look at the demon watch and it reads:

Get the fuck back to work!

I sigh and go back to my cleaning. The mirrors were next on the objective. There's a sink with stained crimson. I already know what went down the sink. Fighting my urge to vomit, I grab my gloves and my cleaning supplies and scrub the sink.

ZZZ

After five minutes of cleaning the sinks and stifling my vomit repeatedly, I decide to take a quick five minute break. I enter the I.M.P office and see Moxxie and Millie. Moxxie is holding a bow and arrow type gun and aiming a picture of a family. Moxxie seemed hesitant.

When Moxxie noticed me, he scowls and continues aiming. I say nothing, and go sit down. "Stop shaking Moxxie!" Millie says. "Your gonna hit our only hellhound!"

Loona in question, was lying down holding the picture up in one hand and holding her phone in the other. "Wow. I feel so loved here," she says sarcastically.

Moxxie sighs. "I'm not so sure about killing an innocent family," he says timidly. I look at him surprised. Does he second guess his work? Almost constantly?

"I mean, if that's what the client wants," Millie replies with a shrug. Moxxie takes notice of me sitting.

"Aren't you supposed to be cleaning the bathroom right now?" He scolds. I roll my eyes and look at him. "Don't roll your eyes at me," he says angry but not really scary. "You are helping us-despite me being totally against it-do the stuff we can't when we're busy." He finishes matter of factly, a smug grin and crossed arms.

"Leave him alone Moxxie," Loona says not looking up. "He's helping us at least." I look at Loona in surprise. Did she just stand up for me?

"Thank you Loona," I reply with a smile.

"Whatever," she replies. And that just went out the window.

"Loona!" Moxxie scolds. "Do not encourage him! He's just a dumb human-" he is cut short by by Blitzo slamming open the door.

"Guys I want you to meet-" he starts. Moxxie, freaked out, pulls the trigger for the arrow. It bounces along the room, even hitting the desired picture target before Blitzo catches it. He smirks. "-Our newest client!" He finishes as some cords fall and an eel tank topples over causing the room to be set on fire. Blitzo of course...didn't take it well.

"DAMN IT MOXXIE! I JUST BOUGHT THOSE EELS!" He shouts throwing the arrow down which, thankfully, misses my foot. By two inches.

ZZZ

It was quite the sight. A ton of fire trucks, firemen and one or two demons who walked by every now and then. I saw a few of them carry off the eels. Blitzo called after the woman from earlier who was currently leaving via taxi.

"Bye! And don't worry, we'll get that skank in less than twenty-four hours or your first kill is free!" Blitzo added cheerfully. A little too cheerfully.

As if reading my thoughts-then again Stolas did so who knows-Moxxie looked at Blitzo incredulously. "When did we start implementing that deal?" He inquired in utter disbelief.

Blitzo looked at him with a seemingly innocent smile. Knowing Blitzo attitude...this wouldn't end well. Blitzo grabs Moxxie's shoulders. "When you set fire to my office in front of a CLIENT YOU FUCKING DIPSHIT!" He shouts pushing Moxxie away.

I stood quietly. Moxxie looked at me in anger and muttered, "This was your fault. Making me lose my focus..." he finished. Moxxie can be such a dick. I mean, he's polite to others but...he's a dick to me. Thankfully, Blitzo wasn't focused on that.

"Now someone tell me that fancy book is still intact!" He seethed. Book? What book? One of the books on the shelf?

"You mean...our only ticket to the other side?" Loona began pulling out a book with a moon on it. "Yeah. Got it," she finished. Wait...didn't I see that somewhere before? As if Blitzo read my mind, again who knows, he turned to me with a warning glare.

"Don't you DARE ask Xandar," he snarled at me. Why would he...OH. Now it made sense. It belongs to Stolas. However Blitzo wasn't angry for long.

"Thank you so much Loonie!" He said using a sickeningly sweet voice. Why he is so kind to her? "You get a treat now!" He adds in a babyish voice pulling out a dog treat.

"Ew. Stop," Loona pleaded in disgust. Yeah. Please stop. Blitzo threw it up in the air, caught it with his tongue like a frog and ate it. As he chewed it Loona grunted. "You're so gross!" She shouted in embarrassment.

"Aww, stop it. I get enough of that from my therapist," Blitzo replies as the portal opens. Wait. There's therapy in Hell? I guess I know where I'm going sometime in the next few months. Maybe even weeks. Hell, days is more like it. Blitzo turns to me. "And since you fucked up Moxxie's aim, and pretty much set fire to my office as well-" Moxxie jaw drops and I nod, already guessing where this if going. "-You will be accompanying us on our mission."

Blitzo looks at me and smirks. "Think you can handle it? Lee?" He mocks. I glare.

"Move it!" I growl shoving past him and jumping in ignoring whatever they were saying.

ZZZ

Third Person P.O.V:

Moxxie was in shock and Blitzo looked at Xandar with a smirk. He got Xandar angry. He knew that even nice people had their limits. He also knew that the one moment of anger spoke volumes about Xandar's inner thoughts. As if reading Blitzo's mind, Moxxie stated his opinion on the matter.

"Sir. Did Xandar just snap at you?" He asked in complete surprise. Even Millie was shocked.

"You're not gonna allow that are you?" She demanded of her boss. She couldn't believe that Xandar did that. Blitzo continued his smirk.

"Xandar's hiding something," Blitzo stated matter of factly. "And I think we just got a taste of it," Blitzo finished jumping into the portal.

"Come on Mox!" Millie said. "Let's go see how Xandar handles a mission!" She finishes jumping in.

"Aw...fuck," Moxxie mutters following suit.

ZZZ

Xandar's P.O.V:

I was seething and I felt my blood boiling. Damn that Blitzo! He makes me so angry! I just want to kill something-

I stop immediately. Where the hell did that come from!? I NEVER think like that. I'm normally levelheaded and calm. But lately, especially when I first got here, I've been more angry. What's happening to me?

"Xandar!" I hear someone shout at me. Oh shit. I turn to Blitzo and started to blush heavily. I pushed past him and snapped. Oh God...what's he going to say...

"That was impressive!" Blitzo says. Wait a fucking minute. I look at him, jaw dropped in shock. "I knew you had some anger in ya! I just didn't think you'd actually use it!" He gave me a playful jab on my stomach, since he's not that tall. "Now, let's get that bitch!" He said running up to a house.

Before I can go, Millie runs by me, laughing wildly. I look at Moxxie, his ever present scowl still present. "Don't think you're out of the woods yet, Xandar. I still think you'll be nothing but a liability," he says and pushes past my bumping my leg. Seriously...what was this imps problem?

We make our way up to the house. Blitzo looks through the window. He smirked. "That's gotta be her! This is too easy. Moxxie, do you want this one? Cause Mr. 'I don't know how to fight,' might fuck up." Blitzo looks at me with his cruel grin. "Full offense."

"Yeah sir. I agree-" Moxxie begins before stopping to think about it. "Wait...me??" He asks happily. Despite what Blitzo said to me, I'm actually glad he's letting Moxxie handle it. Plus...Moxxie being in a good mood might make things better. If not a lot, a little bit at least.

"Yeah, this one's simple enough for you to handle," Blitzo explains. I smiled a bit. Moxxie saw my smile, and he didn't scowl for once. This is good! As Moxxie goes up to the window, he stops suddenly and has a freaked out expression. Wait. Is he hesitating? Why is he hesitating? He has a good chance!

"It's just a happy mother who just got out of the hospital," Blitzo finishes. I take a look and see an innocent looking woman with curled blonde hair. She was in a fancy looking dining room. There were four others. A burly man with a cowlick wearing a plaid shirt, two kids, one with a raccoon hat and a girl with two pigtails. Oh God, it's a family.

The family, and the woman's innocent face immediately told me everything I needed to know. If it was me? I'd hesitate as well.

I hear a gun cock and see Blitzo pointing the gun in the window. "You snooze you lose Mox!" He says readying his aim. Oh no! "And I got ya bitch."

I look at Blitzo. "Wait!" I say in shock. "Are we actually considering killing a family?" I ask in horror.

"No! Of course not!" Blitzo says in defense. Oh thank-

"We're only killing a mother...we're ruining a family!" He says. Oh shit, shit, SHIT!

"Blitzo, can we just-" I start. I'm trying to say, 'can we think about this?' But before I can say anything Moxxie pushes the gun away right as Blitzo pulls the trigger. It breaks the window and as I duck, I see it break a mirror next to the woman's head.

"What-the-fuck was that you guys!?" Blitzo says in anger. I am breathing heavily. Moxxie seems like he's having a panic attack. Can demons have panic attacks?

Moxxie exhales making a weird sound. "I'm sorry sir!" He begins tears flowing down his face. "They just-looked so happy! I-p-panicked!" He stuttered out. Blitzo looks at me in anger and I nod.

"Oh lighten up you too!" He scolds. "When you're born you're already a parasite leeching of your mommas tits!" He says lifting up the chest area of his suit for emphasis. "So get over over yourselves you pathetic, dick PRUNES!" He shouts. We hear a gun shot. Blitzo grabs his arm and says, "Agh! A new hole!" Realizing the danger, he says the first thing that comes to mind.

"SCATTER!" He yells as he and Millie run. Before I can run too, I see a hand grab Moxxie.

"MOXXIE!" I shout in fear. I hear a crack and suddenly feel very light headed. I place my hand on the back of my head and see that my hand is covered in blood. Did someone just-

I fall to the ground. The last thing I see as I look up, is the little girl. She smiled at me evilly and I swear her eyes turned red. Then everything went black...

Author's Note: Oh no! A cliffhanger! What will happen next? Can Xandar and Moxxie get out of this unscathed? Find out next time!

Also, to Reading Beta, while sex won't be explicitly written, I will say that there WILL be pairings. But who can it be? Well, I do have a majority of this planned out. So let's just say...you guys will see it eventually. I hope you guys are liking this! See ya next time!
