People can have interesting jobs, from doctors to lawyers to middle school teachers. Depending on who you are, having a job has its ups and downs. Some jobs would be considered absurd by most people. But one teenage boy's new job will change his life, for better or worse.
On a warm day in hell, at an office building, a new start-up company named 'I.M.P.' The founder/boss was having a meeting with his employees in the conference room. The boss, Blitzo (the 'o' is silent, by the way), stands in front of a conference table.
"Alright, now you guys wonder why I gathered you all here?" said Blitzo
Blitzo weapon expert imp Moxxie raised his hand and said, "Not really, sir."
"Moxxie I knew you were slow, but you can't be that slow."
Moxxie rolls his eyes as his coworker/wife Millie answers Blitzo's question, "It's Danny's first day on the field."
"That's right, Millie. Danny, how are you feeling?"
A unique imp as tall as Blitzo sat next to Moxxie; he had purple skin with a few white spots, black hair with large white streak in the middle of his hair, toxic green eyes that looked like a spirals, a long tail, and black horns. He wore a dark brown leather jacket, a white collar shirt, a red tie, black running shoes, white socks and black pants.
"I'm ecstatic," said Danny sarcastically.
"Eh, don't be a bitch, Danny; you should be excited about going out in the field with us," said Blitzo.
"Yeah, but I'm not into killing."
Blitzo waved his hands. "Yeah, yeah, you told me that already, but you do have to pop the killing virginity like Moxxie and not fuck up a job."
"I say I'm sorry," said Moxxie.
"So who are we killing today, boss?" said Millie with excitement.
"We're killing some jackass brother who killed our client over some piece of ass," said Blitzo.
"That's it?" said Danny.
"Yep, we're going to Arizona and killing this prick at his luxury mansion."
"Great, I'm getting the lever-action shotgun," said Millie.
About thirty minutes later, the imps arrived outside the mansion. They sneaked into the backyard, hid in the bushes, and peeked through the window to see the target: a buff man in his bed robes smoking a fat joint in the living room.
"Oh, Lucifer, he looked like a total douche," said Blitzo.
"At least he's easier to kill," said Moxxie.
"And how do we get inside?" said Millie.
"Danny, can you do the honor," said Blitzo.
Danny sighed. He sneaked to the backdoor and put his hand over the door handle. A dark shadow came out of his hand and went into the lock. The door unlocks, and the imps sneak into the mansion and hide behind the couch. The target started to sing Candy Shop but stopped when his cell phone went off, and he answered it.
"Yes, hello, no, I don't want the blue one; I want the dark blue one with the black rims." "Get right," said the target as he threw his phone down.
Then he heard guns cock, and he turned to see Millie, Moxxi, and Blitzo with their guns aimed at him.
"What the fuck," said the target.
The three shot up the target, spraying blood and guts all over the room until the target's dead body dropped to the floor.
"Now that was satisfying," said Blitzo. Then something catches his eye: "Holy shit."
"What is it, Blitz?" said Danny.
Millie, Moxxie, and Danny looked to see their boss amazed at the crystal horse figurine in a glass display. He broke it with the butt of his gun and grabbed the figure.
"This is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen," said Blitzo.
"What is with you and horses," said Moxxie.
"I have my reason now. Let's get out of here, Danny."
Danny made a portal back to the I.M.P. headquarters, and they all headed out of the mansion. Danny was the last to leave, and he thought.
I just have to get used to this.
Later in the day, Danny was in the break room. He was ready to go home, but he needed something to drink. Danny went to the fridge to see a ton of booze.
Man, who needs all this alcohol? Danny thought
He found a bottle of strawberry juice in the fridge and grabbed it. He closed the refrigerator only to be startled by Loona, the boss's daughter, and Hellhound.
"Do you have to sneak up on me like that," Danny asked.
"Only when it's not funny, which is never," said Loona.
Danny rolled his eyes as Loona moved him out of the way and grabbed a bottle of rum from the fridge. She asked while taking the cap off the bottle.
"So, did you kill anyone yet?" said Loona
"No, I didn't," said Danny.
"Why not?"
"Look Loona, I'm just not comfortable with it even if whoever we kill deserves it."
"Danny, you have a job in hell working with demons, so stop acting like a goddam pussy or something fuckup is going to happen?"
Danny frowned and asked, "Like what?"
"I could list a million fucking things, but I don't have time for them."
"Whatever," Danny started to drink strawberry juice and made a digestive face, "this is crap." He threw it into the trash can.
"Yeah, that's like a six-month-old."
"You could have told me."
Loona merely shrug
"Ah, forget about it. I'm just going home."
"Hey maybe you'll find your balls there."
"I'm not even going to respond to that."
Danny made himself a portal, left the office, and ended up in some dark back alleyway. Danny looks around for anyone near the alleyway; he changes from an imp to a human. His human form had raven hair, normal skin, blue eyes, and demon features. He wore a white t-shirt with a red circle, blue jeans, socks, and red and white shoes. The now human teen walks out of the alleyway and walks a couple of blocks to a strange building with a large chamber on the roof and a sign saying 'Fenton Works.' Danny walks into the house. He sees or hears that nobody is at home.
He heads upstairs, goes to his bedroom, flops onto his bed, and looks up at the ceiling.
Danny thought, How long before this job affects my life
