In Tex's badass car, Cody was riding in the shotgun seat and looking at the random things in Hell on the sidewalk. "So, Tex," Cody looked at the burly hellhound as he was still driving. "I'm sorry about what Loona did at Bee's place."

Tex frowned and glanced at Cody. "No, don't worry about that. I understand what happened that day."

"At least you guys know the truth." Said Cody as ue was looking at some recent photos of him and his adopted sister on his phone. "At least Bee didn't squish her to death."

"Heh. Yeah, thank Satan for that. I'm sorry Loona went through all that stuff when she was younger."

"At least she has me." Cody smiled.

"And Blitzo, even though she doesn't outwardly admit it." Tex rolled his eyes. "I've known plenty of other people like her. Someone so internally closed off like that."

"And you're not mad at Loona for being in love with you at first, right?"

"Nah. I've known plenty of other girls simping over me before Loona came along. And yeah, i know, i'm a very handsome guy. But i'm not Satan."

"Well you're still a cool guy." said Cody. "And i'm one of the best things that ever happened to Loona."

"Right you are, Cody. Right you are." It was silent in the car (minus the thumping heavy metal music blaring), then Tex said: "must have been crazy against that crazy grasshopper. The way you sliced him with those axes."

Letting out a small laugh, reminiscing about that, Cody said, "Yeah, i never really get what was wrong with Thumper in the first place. Why he is so crazy."

"Heh. Beats me. Some things are better left unanswered." Tex rolled his eyes. "Probably don't even wanna know. But anyway, do you know what the wedding cake will be like for your brother?"

"Tommy was thinking a chocolate cake since Celeste loves chocolate so much."

"Good pick." Tex nodded. "It'll be a fine wedding. I know it."

"Me too."

"To tell you the truth, Cody," said the male hellhound, "it wasn't the first time Loona made Bee angry. When she first went to one of her parties, Loona insulted her and didn't even care if she would go toe-to-toe with her. Not even in her giant form. But she calmed herself down and apologized."

"Huh. I'm glad I wasn't there." Cody admitted.

Letting out a small laugh, Tex said "right? But how is your relationship between you and Misty?"

"We went out on another date a little while ago. Just hung out at the park nearby and played with the animals. Misty even got covered in mud after falling in Chop's mud pile!" Then he began laughing as he was looking at one of the pictures with him ajd his girlfriend that day. "Here, i'll show you."

"When i'm not driving." Tex smirked at him.

"Oh yeah, that's right." At last, they made it to Blood Burger, and the boy showed Tex the funny yet embarrassing photo of his muddy girlfriend.

"Hahaha! Poor Misty." Tex laughed. "She really needed a bath after that."

"I sprayed her with the hose to help out." Cody pointed. "Misty was so embarrassed though." The boy chuckled some more

"Heh, i bet she was."

Coming inside the restaurant, some of the patrons were happy to see Cody, and said hello to him since the child was rathwr a celebrity around these parts. Vortex walked up to the counter to order the usual for Cody while he got himself a quadruple cheeseburger to enjoy.

Sitting in a nearby booth near one of the two windows of the joint, Cody was looking out and someone approached him. "Excuse me, kid. I wanna show you something." He looked like a lizard kind of demon. Like a monitor or a komodo dragon.

Looking a little unsure, Cody asked: "what is it?"

Then the creepy demon pulled out a bowie knife and said: "this! Now, be a good kid and hand over your money."

"I don't have any money on me!" Said the human kid. In his brain, he thought "gah, i should have brought my gun with me!"

"Then I guess i'll have to skin you alive." Said the creepy mugger. Before he knew it, he felt his right arm being grasped by Tex, making him drop his knife.

"Leave him alone, man." Said the male hellhound threateningly. "Deal with him, then you'll have to deal with me."

"Let me go, you fat chickenshit!" The lizard strugglied. "Before i gouge your eyes out with my fingers!" The next thing he remembered was feeling a big, beefy hand in top of his head and the male hellhound ripped his head right off like a doll. Tex then tossed the head aside and the body was thrown out the window.

"Nice kill, man." Said one of the Blood Burger employees. "Have a free drink on the house." Then he gave the male hellhound a free extra large cup.

"What about Cody?" Said Tex. "The kid should het something free too."

"Right right, of course. What would you like Cody?"

"a free sundae." The boy smiled

"Hahaha! Good call. Let us know when you're done eating the main course."

As the two sat down in the booth together, Tex said: "can't believe Mammon wanted you to work for him."

"I'm never going to do that, Tex. Fizz already told me about how Mammon is a liar and a cheater."

"Thise words are an understatement about him." Said the male hellhound. "I could tell you whay he really is, but you're a kid and I don't want you to hear very dirty things about him."

"Well i hope to never aee him again." Cody had a look of disdain about the Sin of Greed. "Sounds like an evil ringmaster or a corporate manager."

"He would make those people look like Abraham Lincoln."

Meanwhile in Greed

Slasher was sitting in an old chair in an office with his arms crossed. "So who are you, and what do you want from me?" He finally asked the demon in the shadows, smoking a cigar.

"I've heard about ya." Said the mob boss demon, "your cunning, your talents, and ways of combating your enemies and fucking them over to brown town."

"Like my brother before me." Said Slasher proudly. "I always know how to get the job done, and put then in their place when my clients want me to."

Letting out a small chuckle, the shadowed demon said: "good. Good. You got yourself into a run-in with the human kid, haven't ya? Quite the jackshit crazy shit he put ya through."

Slasher let a small growl of hatred escape him. "In ways you cannot fucking imagine! I am fuckjng sick and tired of being beaten by a kid!"

"Now now, cool your cocks, cowboy." Said the mob boss. "I feel your pain. For instance, i have a shitty excuse for a son that made a fool out of me once. We can work something out together. I'll be willing to pay you whatever j can provide ya."

"Normally," said Slasher, "I wouldn't say this, but when it comes to Cody, the money doesn't mean jackshit to me! All i want is to have his head mounted on my wall."

"That's perfectly fine, sir, i can have a big use for you. He're my card if you need any work. And i'll let ya know if any shit needs to be taken care of.

"It would mean more to me to kill that little shit."

"Not just yet. We have to wait at the right moment, bucko." Said the mob boss.
