Delays were something, Vox hated with all his heart.
Standing here in the parking lot , waiting for the damn company car , to finally show up , is getting on his nerves.
The business deal outside the V-Tower , had gone to his complete satisfaction, and yet there were supposed problems with the engine of the Car. What a bullshit!
He would have to fire someone later!
If only because it should be a warning , not to just keep the boss waiting.
A smooth process is fundamentally important.
The parking lot was deserted and even though, Vox wasn't afraid of the other criminals and less successful inhabitants of Hell, he didn't want to spend any more time here than necessary.
He felt completely at home in the V-Tower. It could be because of the many cameras and the highly complex security system - or because of the proximity and presence of the other Vees. He appreciated the communication and direct connection to Velvette and Valentino.
Even though it could often be chaotic, loud, annoying and brutal...they were the Vees. So powerful and so popular. A very powerful team.
Vox wanted to check the car's current location again via the app - 3 minutes left - at least something productive.
Vox was just about to send a message to Valentino, that he wouldn't be attending the premiere of the producer's latest film later... Valentino would probably be annoyed and pissed off by that, but all Vox wanted now... was to finally fall into his bed and sleep. The day and the meeting had drained him.
And then suddenly two figures ran across the parking lot. Drunk, armed and shouting a loud demand to a demon in a suit. Vox just pulled a disgusted face and tried to appear inconspicuous. He had no desire for stress and the problems of lower society... where was the fucking car?
"Give us the damn money!"
"Fuck you!"
"Come on! Or else..."
"Or else what?"
"You'll die!"
"THE MONEY!"
The shouting went on for quite a while until a shot was heard and the businessman fell to the ground in the parking lot.
One of the criminals immediately looked for the wallet of the wounded businessman, while the other noticed Vox and pointed the gun at the Vees member.
"Hey asshole! Money, come on...", the safety of the gun was released and a few steps later Vox was inadvertently... in the middle of this situation.
The criminal had his finger on the trigger and was about to fire a bullet into Vox... but a hissing little noise made the man stop. Something seemed to be behind Vox and put the man into a state of Anger.
"Fuck you, you little Shit!"
A small Toddler noise echoed through the tense situation and a few moments later, a fox kid scurried past Vox, running on all fours and the hairs of the red and white fur on the back of her neck stood up threateningly.
Not towards Vox...but as a warning signal for the criminal.
Then the child jumped towards the man and kicked the gun out of his hand before she started scratching the man's face with her hands and repeatedly growling softly and threateningly.
Until the man grabbed , the child by the arm and threw her away - the little fox landed under a poorly flickering street lamp and shook herself once before , she snorted and started another attack , attempt when the man tried to attack Vox, now without a weapon.
"Pretty bow...no!", the little Kid was growling and was running around the Criminal in Circles , before stealing a small Knife from his pocket, wich caused the Criminal to run after the Fox Girl.
The last Thing Vox saw from this...weird little Demon Girl, was a soft clicking sound that...maybe was meant to be for him? Before the Girl was running closer, to the in Pain Buissness Men and the other Criminal.
What happend after that, Vox didnt care about, the Company Car finally arrived and as fast as his legs could carry him, he got into the Car and told the Drive to pull the gas and drive away.
Vox didnt glanced back and was happy, that nothing directly happend to him. What happend to this Child and the Criminal and the hurting Person...not his damn Problem.
He forgot about the incident and a few Days later, was totally back into Buisness and Work. In the safe Walls of the V-Tower.
Until he came across an very interesting Rumor. An former Experiment that could put an Demon, Hellborn and Sinner into the emotional State of an Toddler for a few Moments...and just like Fate is giving him a Hint, this Experiment-Demon is a small little Fox Girl.
Just like the one, who safed his Life many Days ago in the Parkin Lot.
How very Interesting.
And if the rumors are to be believed, this demon is in the possession of a criminal money launderer near Cannabil-Town. No one of importance or influence. Presumably the girl escaped from him during the night...or was she sent to assist in the robbery?
And the more Vox thought about it, the more clearly a question manifested in his mind.
Did the Vees need a little lucky Charm... a mini-Vee or not?
