Chapter 20: Oh. Hungry Godfather

John did as he could, got through the ins and outs if classwork. His studies didn't falter, yet he was unnecessarily drowsy from being drained by that blasted tone of the red lord's. If Roky at one point had created those tomes to hide his story, then why was this big bad vamp leaving the book to lower his defenses? Did he have –
"EARTH TO JOHN."
Zee snapped her fingers as she seemed herself. He could say the same about himself.
"Drooling on a desk after classes during lunch? The great John Constantine is napping on the job, now? Come on. I want you to meet someone."
Some…
~ She had marks on her, Johnny. I don't like where this is heading. Be careful, mate.~
He nodded at the flashback, then at Zee. "Show me your mystery caller..." He muttered and wiped his bottom lip.

The face was nearly too much of a falsehood as Atticus swapped to his daytime attire. He was a night crew kind if guy, yet to share his body was…
~ I'm only here to drain those that might revitalize my true form.~ Lothos hissed inside the older magi'sake skull. ~ This new side if your youth will entice the woman, get not Constantine. That, will become my task. See to it, puppet.~
"I'm doing this to be rid of them both. If you rid me, I may react to summon the –
Atticus was given a zipper over his lips as the demon in his head was still a corpse back up in the tower. His spirit and powers were not inside of Atticus, and if he overshadowed the dark sorcerer, gods help them all…

Michael slinked about the halls while the teachers abd professors processed before a new class after lunch. He was not peckish in the slightest as Amber watched over her quarrelsome- or soon to become , Jack and Jen, in the dining hall.
Michael found that the janitor was coming out of the men's restrooms. How peculiar that he was dressed out of uniform?
There was a strict policy that permitted zero dates among staff on campus. An old rule to be upheld as Michael kept his phone on silent and waited.
"Zee, is this –
John?
The other teacher whose name escaped him?
"This, is Anderson. Anderson? Meet, Professor Constantine."
The air was thick with an aura that had Michael sagging into the wall he was hidden against. There was a demon, he could taste the odor of death –
Upon all three, touched by a dark power as the boy sped off.
Zee turned her head, yet she was about as hungry as a ghoul in a graveyard for unfortunate souls. Her attention was on the charming man that had swept her off of her feet.
"Shall we have a walk about, ah…if that won't at all trouble you?"
Anderson had dimmed red highlights and his eyes were brown today to mask Lothos's real face from the previous evening. Zee took his hand as John gawked. "We're still –
"Come on, just for a few minutes?"
She was pining him in, the man making his eyes wary to see his ex pupil. …
John knew it was possibly him being jealous. He got abstract standing there, until he cut that attitude to save her. If this man was why she was so forgetful and out of sorts, he had reason to banish the bloke back to hell. If he belonged there or not. Simply put , Zee was still his fear friend after the fights, disappointment.
He wanted this, for Raku's sake as well.
~ Guard your mind, Constantine.~ John blinked. Ignito –
"What say we three go to the one place I know any historian would fancy?" Anderson was more than British, yet Zee cling to him and he knew. This, wasn't a natural crush going here.
"Sure, mate. Lead the way."
The one thing that had Anderson grinning, had a rock of worry form on the pit of John's gullet.
"If you insist."

Raku lay as motionless as a poisoned Snow White. Chas looked into John's books and was disappointed that the only book that would open was a tome on the side table inside a cloth wrapping wad. As if it had to be discarded. "I'd take it you're to blame for the child's state and my mate's absence." Chas muttered as he went to looked for an item to pick the book up with without touching it. "I have Jen in the next room. If you'd rather-
He blinked at it, then reaching to pick up the spine it, reacted.
Chas bit hit tongue abd dropped the time flat onto its face. "That…that's a living entity?? –
He jerked his eyes to see Raku, and for the first time, the boy was roused by a groan at his lips. "N…"
Chas stood still as the kid was sleeping, really this time. Alive!
He took a minute as the boy went to kay on his side away from the door, cozy in his curled-up frame.
Peaceful, a ruse.
Chas tip toed out the door to find Jen wkth the man's cell phone in hand.
"Jack told us to be careful. John and Zee need us."
"Raku is awake." Huffed Chas within whisper. "Tell Johnny that I can't leave the lad all alone like this. Neither should he."
"I…" Jen bit her lip. "I'll tell my adult self to hurry along with the message." They nodded and got to work reformatting the wards all around the man's apartment complex. Top to bottom.
While they toiled, another was boiling red as the sun.

Who is as red as what now? Michael is peeping tom? Raku woke up. But , is he ok? Jen is worried and Zee us under the spell of another handsome face. John, is a skeptic, bit not for long! Find out!
