Inside the IMP office nothing was really going on Loona was relaxing on the couch going through her phone, while Millie and Moxxie were doing maintenance on their weapons. That was until Blitzo barged into the office with a young imp in toe.
"Welcome back Blitzo," Millie said.
"Sir who's the new guy?" Moxie asked, pointing at the young imp with his boss.
"Everyone this is Dante, our newest employee!" Blitzo said excitedly, gesturing to Dante. Dante smiled and waved to everyone in the room.
Blitzo brought Dante over to the two small imps each with a weapon in hand.
"Dante this here is Millie and Moxxie our husband-and-wife team,"
"Nice to meet you Dante, I'm Mille, I can already tell it's gonna be lots of fun working with you," the black hair female said enthusiastically, shaking his hand.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Moxxie let's hope your skills are up to the test," said the short white-haired demon.
Blitzo grabbed Dante by his shoulder and led him over to the hellhound sitting on the couch.
"This here is our receptionist, and my amazing daughter, Loona," he said with no small amount of pride in his voice.
Loona looked up from her phone.
"Hey," was all she said before she went back to her phone, Dante just smirked and said hey back.
"Alright now that we've got introductions out of the way let's find a job for you to do," Blitzo led Dante over to a desk at the other end of the room, on the desk were several files.
Dante looked through the files all were assignments that IMP was hired to take on. As Dante looked through each one Moxxie grabbed one file and held it up.
"I think this one would be a good start for someone like yourself," he said, handing it to Dante.
Opening it up Dante read through it was a simple assassination, kill a husband's cheating spouse. Dante closed the file and through it back on the desk.
"Oh, come one, give me something challenging," he said in an annoyed tone. Blitzo and Millie looked at him confused while Moxxie gave him an annoyed glare at this newbies arrogance.
Picking up another file he looked through it and smiled.
"Ohh yeah this one should be good," he said. The others looked at the file and their faces went wide with shock.
"A mob boss and his capos are you nuts, that job is way above your pay grade noobie, hell even all of us together probably couldn't pull that off! That's why I was planning on calling the guy and telling him no deal," Blitzo said, rubbing the back of his head.
Dante just smirked.
"Hey don't worry Blitzo just leave it to me," he said, patting Blitzo on the back.
The car pulled up in front of the restaurant, a large burly man stepped out of the drivers side and walked over to the back passenger door and opened it. Out stepped a middle-aged heavy-set man with finning gray hair wearing a black suit. Closing the passenger door and locking it the burly man followed the older gentleman into the restaurant. Unbeknownst to the two they were being watched from an alleyway by a couple of mysterious beings.
"So, is that the guy?" Moxxie asked looking back towards Dante who was holding the file containing all the information.
"Yep, that's him alright, Anthony Ratti, capo of the Corcetti family," Dante said, closing the file and tucking it into his jacket.
"Alright we found the guy so how do we get him; the place looks packed and the bodyguard looks pretty tuff?" Millie asked, Dante contemplated the question,
Walking down the alley he looked around the corner to the back of the restaurant and saw a waiter smoking a cigarette. Smiling he turned towards the others.
"Don't worry just leave it to me," he said assuredly.
With a flick of his wrist Dante dawned a human disguise. His red skin turned a swarthy tan, his horns vanished along with his claws, the only thing that remained the same was his black hair and his black and red eyes. Pulling a pair of sunglasses out of his coat pocket he put them on and approached the waiter. Whistling the waiter turned in the direction of the noise only to be punched in the face, knocking him unconscious. Stripping off his uniform Dante put it on and headed inside.
"Wait here in case Ratti has back up," Dante said to the other imps as he walked through the door.
The Imps stood in the alleyway surprised at the situation.
"Who the fuck put him in charge!" Blitzo asked annoyedly, putting his hands on his hips.
"He seems to know what he's doing," Moxxie said confused by the amount of professionalism the new recruit was showing.
"Think he's done shit like this before?" Millie asked, looking at both Blitzo and Moxxie both of whom just shrugged.
Dante walked into the restaurant and saw if it was quite busy all the tables were occupied and waiters were going about taking orders and bringing patrons their food. Dante scanned the restaurant until he found his target, the target was sitting alone at a table by the far side of the restaurant with his back towards the wall and facing the door.
"Smart," Dante thought to himself.
Ratti's big burly bodyguard stood right by his side keeping a close eye on his boss and surroundings. Dante continued to observe them wondering what would be the best course of action.
"Hey!" someone shouted behind Dante, startling him. Turning around Dante saw a gray-haired woman in a uniform looking at him with an annoyed expression.
"Uhh what's up?" Dante asked nervously fearing his cover had been blown.
"What's up? What's up! What's up is that I have a packed restaurant and here you are just standing around," she yelled at him.
"Now grab a tray and start serving some damn tables!" she shouted pointing at the kitchen window where chefs were leaving plates of cooked food for the waiters to deliver.
"What the… Ohh yeah that's right I'm wearing the uniform," he thought to himself upon realizing why this lady was mad at him.
"Alright boss sorry," Dante apologized heading towards the kitchen.
When he arrived at the window, he saw there was only one dish on the counter.
"Where the hell is Martin, he was supposed to take Mr. Ratti his food five minutes ago!" the manager lady said, looking nervously over to Ratti's table.
"Ohh uh he said he was gonna leave early," Dante replied.
"Uhh that's classic Martin, well fine you take it," she said handing Dante the tray of food.
Walking over to the table Dante saw Ratti's bodyguard giving him a nasty look as approached.
"Hello Mr. Ratti sorry for the delay, here is your food," Dante said, lifting the plate of food off the tray and putting it on the table in front of Ratti.
Dante thought about shooting him with the gun hidden under his apron but he determined that Ratti's bodyguard would shoot him before he could even reach his gun. Dante turned to leave when suddenly he heard someone call out behind him.
"Excuse me you forgot my silverware," Ratti called out.
"Ohh my apologies sir let me get it for you," Dante said casually before turning around and throwing the tray like a frisbee. The tray flew through the air and hit Ratti's bodyguard square in the face, causing him to fall back and hit his head against the wall, knocking him out. Ratti startled, shot up out of his chair, but before he could make a run for its Dante pulled out his gun and shot Ratti two times in the chest and once in the head. Ratti collapsed to the ground, Dante watched as his lifeless corpse hit the floor, blood pouring from his wounds. With his work done Dante darted towards the back exit, stopping for a minute to pick up a bottle of wine and a basket of garlic bread sitting on one of the tables.
The rest of IMP sat by the backdoor waiting for Dante. Moxxie was on his phone, Millie was filing her nails and Blitzo was leaning against a wall with his arms crossed looking pissed.
"Who does that kid think he is making us wait for him," Blitzo said, annoyed.
"Ohh come down Blitzo I'm sure he's just nervous and wants to prove himself," Millie said inspecting her nails.
"That kid is pretty sure of himself, where did you find him anyway sir?" Moxie asked looking up from his phone at Blitzo.
"Ohh I was about to be murdered and his sweet ass saved me," Blitzo said casually checking the time on his phone completely ignoring the shocked expressions on Millie and Moxxies faces.
Moxxie was about to ask Blitzo another question when suddenly Dante burst out of the backdoor.
"Ohh fuck!" Moxxie shouted in surprise.
"Let's get the fuck out of here!" Dante shouted running away from the restaurant with the other imps in tow.
The imps ran for another couple of minutes before stopping behind a dumpster to catch their breath.
Blitzo turned to Dante, "is the asshole dead?"
Dante nodded his head, "yeah the fuckers dead,"
"Ohh is that garlic bread?" Millie asked excitedly, looking at the basket in his hands.
"Uhh yeah want some?" Dante asked, moving the basket closer to her, Millie took a piece and happily took a bite.
"Hey I want some," Moxxie took a piece as well.
"Leave some for me guys," Blitzo said, taking a piece too.
Dante set the basket down and lifted up the bottle of wine and pulled out the cork with one of his talons.
"Aw sweet you grabbed some wine let me have a-" Blitzo's statement was interrupted when Dante lifted the bottle to his lips and started drinking.
Dante kept drinking until he had downed the whole bottle, tossing it away Dante wiped his mouth and stood up.
"Alright now that that's done let's move on to the next target," Dante said cheerfully heading towards the next target.
"Did anyone else just see that?" Moxxie asked as he got up to follow.
"Yeah, I did... That asshole didn't share the wine!" Blitzo said, crossing his arms seemingly oblivious to the fact Dante just downed a full bottle in under a minute.
