Chapter 14: Lost without you
A/N: Since Helluva Boss season 2 is right around the corner I thought it would be fitting to have a chapter centered around our favorite foul-mouthed Imp.
I know you guys want to see Blitz and Jenny reunite but trust me they will. They just have to go through a couple of things before that can happen. So, in the meantime, you just get to see Blitz go about his day in Hell.
What has been going on in Blitzo's life while he's been searching for Jenny?
Disclaimer: I don't own Hazbin Hotel or Helluva Boss, I just own Jenny.
Enjoy!

Blitzo opened up the portal that connected Hell to the living world and stepped out. He didn't have a target to kill today but Jenny texted him asking if he would come over to hang out.
If it had been anyone else, he would have told them to fuck off. He knew staying in the living realm for long periods of time was super risky and dangerous. He was even super picky about his clients. He had to make sure that the target wasn't around a busy area where a lot of people were around just in case.
However,...when it came to Jenny, he made an exception. After being friends for almost six years now, it was safe to say she wasn't going to rat him out and sell him to the government to be experimented on. She understood why he had to be sneaky and went out of her way to alter her lifestyle so it would work with his. If they hung out, they would either stay at her apartment the whole time or wait until it was super, super late where there weren't a lot of people out on the streets. If he wanted to try something that he couldn't get down in Hell, she would make sure her fridge was stocked up with whatever he had a taste for.
She was one in a million and he knew he would never find anyone else like her.
Which was why he was risking being seen.
Diving into the nearest bush, he slowly poked his head out to make sure no one was nearby. When the coast was clear, he dashed over to the bottom window of a building and opened it up before jumping in. Landing into someone's room, he quickly locked the window and shut the blinds so no one would see he was inside.
Satisfied with his task, he went to step off the desk he landed on, only to slip and fall to the floor, taking half of the desk's contents with him.
A door opened up to reveal Jenny standing there. The red head sighed as she looked at her best friend.
"And this is why I don't buy expensive things" she said dryly.
Blitzo jumped up and dusted himself off.
"Hey, Jen"
Jenny smiled and walked over to her desk and started picking up the stuff Blitzo knocked over.
"You managed to get here safely, B? No one spotted you?" she asked.
Blitzo joined in helping her clean up and reorganize desk.
"Didn't see anyone, but I'm sure they heard me eat shit when I fell just now. You need to move your desk out of the way or something" he said.
"Hey, do you know how hard it is to find an apartment that rents out the basement? I gotta make do with what I have with the space I'm given" Jenny argued.
That was another reason why Jenny was an amazing friend. Instead of looking for her dream home, she looked for places that would offer the least amount of exposure to the outside. While people looked for apartments that offered the best views of the city, she did the exact opposite so Blitzo and the others could have a place to stay and relax. No one else would do that for them.
"You sure it's okay for you to hang out? I don't want you to get in trouble"
"Oh please, Stolas doesn't care what I do with that book as long as I give it back to him once a month. I use it to prop my coffee table up at home when I'm not using it" Blitz joked.
Jenny snorted and put the last of her things back on her desk.
"So, what did you want that you called me up topside?"
The red head had a Chesire grin on her face which freaked the Imp out. Whatever she was thinking couldn't be good.
"You gotta close your eyes to find out" she said.
Blitzo narrowed his eyes and took a step back.
"You know that I don't like surprises" he warned.
Jenny rolled her eyes, not fazed by him at all.
"Just humor me this one time, okay? It's a good surprise, I promise"
Blitzo growled a little but complied. He always become a big softie when he was around her.
"This better be good" he said as he closed his eyes.
"It will. I'm sure you'll get a kick out of it"
Grabbing his hand, she led him out of her room and into the living room.
"Okay now open!"
Slowly opening his eyes, the Imp was shocked by what he saw.
The whole room was covered with decorations and various take-out bags on the table. Off to the side of the couch he saw a package wrapped up with a bow on top.
"Surprise!" Jenny cheered.
Blitzo looked at Jenny, then back at the room then back at her.
"W-wha?"
Jenny laughed and playfully slapped his arm.
"Did you honestly think I wouldn't figure out when your birthday was? What kind of friend do you take me for?"
Blitzo was completely floored. He completely forgot that today was his birthday. He really didn't celebrate it since he didn't have a lot of good memories of it growing up.
Jenny grabbed his hand and pulled him over to the couch.
"I didn't know how you guys celebrate birthdays in Hell so I thought we could do your favorite things" she said.
"I got take-out from all of your favorite places here and rented out every single horse themed movie that the video place down the street had. And I got you an ice cream cake since you always joke that you can't have it at home"
Blitzo couldn't believe that she did this. She remembered things that he would randomly mention and went out of her way to make sure he was able to have them.
No one had gone out of their way to do this for him...not even his family.
When he hadn't said anything, Jenny grew a little worried. Did he not like this? Was this to basic for a birthday dinner?
"Blitz?"
The Imp looked at her and pulled her into a bone crushing hug. His tail wrapped around her waist-something he did whenever he felt vulnerable. Jenny didn't see it but he had tears well in his eyes. It had been so long since anyone genuinely cared about him.
"Thank you, Jen" he whispered.
Jenny didn't say anything and just hugged him back. She could tell he was getting emotional and just let him without bringing it up. That was why they were friends for so long. They always felt safe to let their guard down around one another.
"Anytime, Blitz" she said softly.
The imp quickly wiped his eyes and regained his composure.
"So, what kind of movies are we talking about? Please tell me you didn't rent My Little Pony again"
"Nah, I only make you watch that when I'm pissed off with you" Jenny teased.
"Oh! You gotta open your present too!"
She went over to the side of the couch and picked up the package. Skipping back, she handed the box to him.
"It's nothing serious but I thought you could use a laugh"
Blitzo looked at the present. He didn't know what she put in the box but he was curious to see what she found.
He slowly grabbed the bow and -
/
BEEP BEEP BEPP
Blitzo jolted awake as his alarm went off. Growling, he reached over his head and turned off his phone. Stupid alarm! He was having a really nice dream!
Looking at his phone he saw that it was time to start the day. He noticed that the battery was almost dead. Guess he forgot to charge it last night. Whatever.
Sitting up, he yawned and got the kinks out of his back. Sleeping on a couch sucked but it's not like he had a bed he could sleep on. Since he lived in a one-bedroom apartment, he let Loona have it so she could have her own room. And being the ever-doting father that he was, he sacrificed the chance to have a good night's sleep by making the couch as his bed.
Rubbing his tired eyes, he looked at the phone that was on his side table. Pulling the charger out of it, he carefully picked up Jenny's phone and made sure it didn't get scratched overnight. Ever since he found her phone, he took care of it and made sure it was always fully charged and protected. It was the only piece he had of her at this moment. He felt like if anything happened to the phone, then something would happen to Jenny as well.
He didn't care if his phone wasn't always fully charged but hers had to be.
He carefully ran a clawed finger down the screen.
"Another day of you not here" he whispered.
It was slowly going on two months since she disappeared. He tried looking everywhere but he still couldn't find her. It was like she really did vanish.
He shook his head. No! He wasn't going to give up. She needed him and he was going to find her.
Today he just had to try harder in his search.
/
It was a slow day at work. No one really wanted anyone killed today which annoyed Blitzo to no end. Everyone told him that they could do their search for Jenny in the living realm only when they had to go up there for work. They wanted to find her but they couldn't risk being seen by going up there so many times.
Loona even kept the grimoire hostage so he couldn't sneak off on his own.
So now Blitz was spending his day locked up in his office going over the clues he had gathered from his searches.
The school she worked at didn't notice anything strange when the teachers were leaving for the day and didn't see her leave her classroom. It was a small building so each teacher was in charge of a certain hallway which meant they hardly saw each other.
Since it was also Halloween then, the streets were busy with children trick-or-treating so no one would notice anything weird happening. If they saw someone kidnapping Jenny, they would have probably thought she was pretending to so she could scare people.
None of this helped him but something bothered the Imp.
David.
For someone whose fiancé was missing, he was acting a little weird about it. He didn't know how to describe it but it was almost as if the guy was pretending to be worried. Yeah, he was on the news begging to whoever kidnapped Jenny to let her go and that he'd give them whatever they wanted and would post about it online (to which Blitzo spammed his account by posting rude and inappropriate comments).
To anyone he acted like someone who was scared to death and wanted their loved one back. But to Blitzo he could tell he was faking it. If he was really worried about Jenny and wanted her back safe and sound, he wouldn't be posting stuff online. He would have been out searching day and night for her. He was just acting worried so no one would notice something was off.
And the biggest red flag was that not once did he try to call her phone to see if he could track her. Hell no one had tried to call her.
When Jenny went missing, he immediately thought David was behind this. It made sense: he was going to pick her up from work to surprise her for their anniversary, she didn't tell anyone about her plans, it just so happened to be on Halloween where everyone was out celebrating and wouldn't see anything. He had to be behind this.
Yet with all this evidence, he found that his alibi was squeaky clean. He managed to hack into his phone to see if he had called anyone shady and found nothing. It was shown at the time Jenny vanished that he was still at work and was on the other side of town. He made a police report the moment he didn't see her when he went to pick her up from work. He couldn't have been the culprit but deep in Blitzo's gut he knew he had something to do with this.
Maybe he felt this way because he hated the guy for taking away the woman who meant everything to him but he knew he couldn't ignore this. If he truly loved Jenny, he would have been searching for him like he was doing.
"And this is why he's a dickless wonder" he thought.
"Blitz, you have a client!" Loona called out.
Finally! Now he had a chance to go to the living realm!
Telling Loona to let them in, he made himself look professional. He couldn't let them see him being excited at the idea of going topside.
The door to his office opened to reveal a sinner wearing a cop uniform. Blitzo frowned he saw him. Ugh, he hated dealing with law enforcement. They clashed with his line of work.
But he was desperate to get topside so he had to make do.
"So, what can I do for you today?" he asked.
The cop looked grumpy and miserable. It was obvious he had seen a lot of shit in his line of work.
"I need you to take someone out for me" he said.
Blitzo raised an eyebrow.
"Well now, a cop asking a hitman to kill someone. You don't see that everyday" he joked.
"So, who exactly am I killing?"
"My partner" the cop said.
"That bastard backstabbed me and killed me off so I wouldn't tell anyone what we were doing"
Blitzo knew where this was going and rolled his eyes.
"Oh great, you're one of those dirty cops, aren't you? Let me guess, you two were helping the mafia or something get drugs out on the streets and turned a blind eye on the drug dealers am I right? And in return you got paid for keeping your mouth shut but your partner got greedy and decided to off you so he could take the money"
"Hey, I wasn't getting paid enough for keeping these streets safe!" the cop argued.
"I risked my neck and my life trying to keep the citizens of Salem safe and all I get is a messily paycheck! If the city wouldn't pay me for my services, why should I bother keeping them safe? I was getting tired of the abuse and I-
"Whoa, whoa, whoa back up! Did you say Salem? As in Salem Massachusetts?" Blitzo said.
"Yeah? I mean is there another Salem?" the cop asked confused.
A shit eating grin slowly spread across the Imps face. This cop came from the same city Jenny was from. That meant he had to have been part of her search and had more clues of what was going on.
"Well, what do you know? It's your lucky day today!" he cheered.
"You just so happen to be my 69th customer which means you get a free kill!"
The cop raised an eyebrow. That was a random number to win something.
"Don't you usually safe that for the 100th customer?" he asked.
"You want a free kill or not?" Blitzo snapped.
The cop quickly shut up at that. Now that he had the cop's attention, Blitzo could get more information out of him.
"You'll get a free kill...but I'm going to want something in return for it" he said seriously.
"What exactly do you need?"
Blitzo pulled out his phone and brought up a picture of Jenny.
"I need you to tell me everything you know about this woman"
He showed the cop the picture. Recognition dawn on the sinner's face when he saw her.
"Hey, that's that woman who went missing two months ago" he said.
"Why do you want to know about her?"
"She's...a target for another client" Blitzo lied.
"I was supposed to kill her but when I went to do the job she went missing. I can't get paid until I kill this person so if you know anything about her that would help me out a lot. I kill someone for you and you help me find my missing target. Deal?"
The cop scratched his head. He found it fishy that an Imp wanted to find someone that he was looking for himself. But then again, he was in Hell so why would it matter?
"Not much is really known about her. Has no family except for a grandma that raised her but that's really all we could find about her. No one knew her except for her fiancée. Had no criminal records or anything interesting. She was basically a nobody"
Blitzo's claws dug into his desk and left marks as he heard the cop talk shit about her.
"I'm not interested about her background I just wanna know what happened to her so I can find her!" he snapped.
"Hmmm, from what my department had gathered so far, they found security footage at the school she was working at" the cop admitted.
Blitzo perked up when he heard that. Finally, some useful information!
"Yeah, and what did you find?!"
"We saw some figures dressed all in black carrying her body out of the school and threw her into the trunk of a car. We were able to get the plates off the car but found out it was a rental and that they used the name Jane Doe when they sighed off for it. We have no idea where the car went and it was never returned. It was like she really did disappear"
Blitzo bit his nail. This really didn't help him. If he couldn't tell who kidnapped Jenny then he wouldn't know where she was. But now that he knew there was a video, maybe he could see who did it.
"Did you take that video as evidence?" he asked.
The cop nodded.
"Yeah, it's in our evidence room as well as a few other things that a couple of the guys gathered"
That was all he needed to hear. Now that he knew where to get more clues, Blitz could continue his search.
"Thanks for the info. Now I can find out what happened to my target and I can finally get paid" he said.
He got up from his desk and lead the cop out of his office.
"Just send me a photo of who you want killed and I'll have it done"
The cop looked at the Imp oddly.
"Why go out of your way looking for a target? I'm sure missing one isn't going to break the bank for you"
Blitzo gripped the door handle tightly to the point where it dented. The glare he gave the cop sent shivers down his spine.
"She's special"

Jumping out the portal, Blitz, Millie and Moxxie appeared a few buildings away from the police station.
"This has got to be the worst target you agreed to take on!" Moxxie said.
"You want us to kill a cop?!"
"No, our client wants to kill a cop" Blitzo corrected.
"Why should it matter what the target does for a living?"
"Because it's a fucking cop!" Moxxie shouted.
"They're meant to protect others from criminals! Make sure the streets are safe! That crime is low"
"Well, if they did their job right, they would have found Jenny by now, wouldn't they?" Blitzo countered.
"Who cares that the target is a cop? No one is fucking perfect. You see shady people working in respectable jobs all the time and no one bitches about it. When he's off the clock he's just another random face in the crowd"
"He's right Mox, as long as we're getting paid to kill someone it shouldn't matter who it is" Millie pointed out.
Moxxie looked torn over what to do. Yes, they were getting paid to kill someone but at the same time it was someone who stopped people like them for a living. This was as bad as when he shot that child by accident...even if he was a target.
"If it makes you feel better, we won't kill the target at the station" Blitzo offered.
"Our client told me the targets schedule so he should be heading back to the station soon. Once you see a cop car driving by just shoot at it and we're good"
"And what are you going to do while this is happening?" Moxxie asked.
"I will be sneaking into the station and stealing something from the evidence room" Blitzo replied.
"Sir!"
"Hey, it relates to our target and I'm better at not being caught. Sneaking out of Stolas' room all the time has its perks"
Moxxie made a face at that. He did not need to hear about his boss's personal life.
"That has to be the worst place to sneak into. You're bound to get caught there"
Blitzo went over and grabbed his face hard.
"Which is why you're going to make a big scene when you kill our target" he cooed.
"Just kill the target and all the cops will come running. While they're distracted, I'll sneak in and go to the evidence room. Don't argue with me over this anymore, okay?"
Millie and Moxxie slowly nodded. They learned a long time ago never to argue with their boss when he got serious.
"I'll text you when I find what I'm looking for and well meet up back here" he said.
He snuck off down one of the alleyways and made his way to the police station.
/
Blitzo hid in the bushes as he stared at the police station. So far, he didn't see a whole lot of cops inside the building but he had to wait until Moxxie made a scene.
Moments later, he heard gunfire followed by a car crashing into a building. Like clockwork, the police station heard this and a bunch of cops rushed out to where the crime scene was.
Sneaking behind some cop cars, he made his way towards the back of the building. Pulling out his gun, he shot at the security camera that was stationed at the door and quickly slipped inside. Following his client's instructions, he went down a set of hallways and found the room that had 'Evidence' written on the door. He quickly went in and locked the door behind him so he wouldn't get caught.
"Ok, he said it was in the current cases section"
Going down one of the aisles, he found the file box he was looking for and pulled it out. Flipping through the folders, he found the one with Jenny's name on it and pulled it out. He opened it up to see all the notes and statements that the station gathered and tucked them into his jacket. He would read those when he got home.
He next went over to the computer that held all the surveillance footage that they gathered. Typing in the code the cop gave him, he got in and typed in Jenny's case number. Sure enough, he found the video the cop mentioned and pressed play.
The video started with Jenny reaching the back door of the building and had her phone out as if she was going to talk to someone. She stopped what she was doing when she heard something behind her and turned around. When she didn't see anyone, she went back to her phone and went to call someone. Seconds later, a masked figure came up behind her and struck her in the head with a pipe. Blitzo flinched when he saw Jenny dropped to the ground like a sack of potatoes. The figure pulled out their phone and called someone. When they hung up, they grabbed Jenny's body roughly and dragged her out of the building.
The second video was of outside the building. A car pulled up and popped the trunk open. The person who was dragging Jenny brought her to the back of the car and flung her body inside it and slammed the trunk shut then quickly hopping into the car. The vehicle speeds off and that was the end of the video.
Blitzo felt his throat close up as he watched this unfold. He should have been there! He should have waited until she got out of work so she could get home safely. He should have told Stolas he couldn't be with him all night.
He closed his eyes tightly, trying to get rid of the image of Jenny getting knocked out. This was his fault.
His eyes shot open when he realized something about the video. She was in the process of calling someone when she got knocked out!
Going through his pockets, he quickly pulled out her phone. Typing in her passcode, he opened it up and looked at her call history.
She was calling him! Of course! She always called him when she got out of work so he could talk to her while she walked home! He then pulled out his cellphone. Since his Hellphone didn't work with human phones, he got a regular phone so he could stay in touch with Jenny. Unlocking it, he saw that he had a missed call from her. Pressing play, he heard the kidnapper talking on their phone.
"Babe, I got the target! Hurry over here before anyone sees!...Yes, I know we gotta hurry to the spot but I heard this whore is worth it! Once we offer her up to Satan, we're sure to be given honor and glory!"
With that the message ended. Blitzo looked at his phone in shock. That was a woman's voice he just heard. He for sure thought it would have been David but this just threw him for a loop. Was he really innocent in this?
And what ceremony was this woman talking about?
Just then, he heard voices on the other end of the door. Some of the cops were coming back from the scene! Turning off the computer he made sure looked the same. Once that was done, he pulled out his Hellphone and told Loona to open up the portal so he could escape without being seen.
He leapt inside just as the door started to open.
/
After a long mission, Blitzo and Loona returned home. The Hellhound headed for her room. She needed to be by herself after being around imps all day. Her hand hovered over the handle when she reached for it. Looking over her shoulder, she saw her dad kick off his boots and take his jacket off.
She could have ignored him but she just felt the need to talk to him.
"You find any more clues about Jenny?" she found herself asking.
She tried to tell herself to ignore all of this, that this had nothing to do with her so why should she care? She should have acted like she usually did with everything else but she couldn't on this one.
She didn't want to admit it but she missed Jenny too.
Blitzo made a face but held up the file he stole from the station.
"Found something but I just ended up with more questions" he admitted.
"I'll get to the bottom of this. I'm not giving up"
Loona bit her lip. She may have thought her adoptive dad was a goofy idiot, but deep down he had a good heart. If he cared about someone, he didn't give up on them.
"Let me know if you need help with anything" she muttered.
Once Jenny was found, she knew things would go back to normal.
She turned around and opened her bedroom door. Before she went in, she said something that shocked Blitzo.
"She's lucky that she has you in her life"
With that, she shut herself in her room.
Blitzo sighed and flopped down on the couch. He opened up the folder containing Jenny's case and started to read what the police gathered. He frowned when he felt something under his pillow and reached behind him to grab it. He froze when he saw what he grabbed.
In his hand was a simple horse plushie. It may have seemed like nothing to anyone but to Blitz it meant a whole lot.
This was his birthday present that Jenny gave him that one time. It was just a simple silly gift but it had a special meaning behind it.
He had a huge, creepy strange obsession with horses. He loved them and collected, followed and talked anything that had to deal with them to everyone. He used to be made fun of for liking them and for a while he was embarrassed for liking something random. When Jenny found out, he thought she would act the same way but instead she accepted it. She told him it was alright to enjoy something and it shouldn't matter what others thought of it. If he found something that brought him joy and didn't harm anyone then what was to be embarrassed about? Her giving him that plushie was her way of saying she wanted him to be happy.
He dropped the file to the ground and held the plushie tightly. He silently cried as he held it close. How could he be happy when she wasn't there?
He remembered the dream he had and thought of what happened after he was given the present.
Instead of opening it right away. He looked at it for a moment then pulled the bow off the package. He then stuck it on Jenny. Jenny was obviously confused why he did that and asked him what he did that for.
What he said next he remembered to this day:
"Out of all the gifts I've gotten, you're my favorite" he whispered.
He didn't need anything else in life. The world could offer him power, Stolas could offer him money and all the expensive things Hell had to offer, he could have been offered his dream job and become a star. He could have been offered these things and he wouldn't take them because they wouldn't be what he wanted.
The only thing he wanted now was having the woman who made him feel loved back in his life. That would be the best gift he ever received.

A/N: Awww man, that ending might be just as sad as the ending of episode 7 of Helluva Boss.
Damn Jenny, forget David! Blitzo seems like the ideal guy...or Imp lol. He will stop at nothing until he finds her! He was even willing to kill someone for free if that meant finding more clues as to what happened to her!
So, if David wasn't the one who kidnapped her then who did it?
Hoped you guys enjoyed seeing Blitzo! Now you're starting to see why him and Jenny are a duo.
Please review and tell me what you think!
Take care!
