Marc kicked the door down to a house that should have been considered a good starter home for a blossoming family.
Instead, it was owned by a rich man-child who was never told no.
Inside were newlywed decorations, including balloons that said JUST MARRIED and a Roman pedestal with a seashell containing two rings. Surrounding the rings were a few different bracelet chains and a seashell locket necklace to tie it all together.
"He's gonna marry her?" Steven asked through the reflection of the seashell necklace Marc held up.
"Stop!" Marc heard. He pocketed the locket and ran to the basement where he heard the scream coming from.
Dawn was still tied to the chair but this time she was inside a spray painted circle with Hathor's name written in Judah's blood.
Dawn yelling stop was due to Jude trying to kiss her again. She had kicked him to the ground. He got himself up and noticed Marc approaching.
"Marc!" Dawn exclaimed.
"Who is he?" The man, now grasping the knife he had used to cut his finger for the blood writing. "Is that your boyfriend?"
"What? Eww, he's like, 50." Dawn replied.
Marc glared at her, maintaining his disapproval while throwing a crescent dart at Jude's hand, causing him to drop the knife.
While Jude held his hurting hand, Marc snuck up and punched him in the face. This knocked the man down.
Marc made his way to Dawn and used his crescent dart to cut the zip ties binding her hands.
"Where's Anubis?"
"Put-The-Lotion-In-The-Basket-Guy locked him away somewhere." Dawn answered.
"Where?"
"Great question, Marc. Let's ask him over tea and biscuits." Dawn looked at the man struggling to stand "he's trying to get up."
Marc lifted the injured man by his long ponytail. "Anubis. Now."
"I'll tell you after me and Dawn consummate our—"
Marc pulled back on the man's hair.
"Ow! I paid good money for her! She has to love me! She can't refuse me! Look at her! Who else is gonna love her? She has no other choice!"
Marc dropped the man to the floor.
Jude continued "nobody will take her seriously. Nobody. I can help her. I can save her from that life!"
Jake was the one to turn around and face the man. He gave him a grisly smile and grabbed the bloody knife Jude had dropped.
Once again, he pulled on Jude's hair and leaned in close.
"The only one who needs saving is you."
With that, he plunged the knife into Jude's eye.
As the man screamed, Jake held his hand out to Dawn. She took it but stopped walking once the two reached the front door.
She saw all the jewellery on the pedestal and put it in her pocket.
"What? If I'm gonna be traumatized from this the least I can do is make some money from it. I'll be monetized and traumatized. Tronetized."
Jake laughed "atta girl."
"I don't want to leave without Anubis."
Jake looked around the room then reached into his pocket. He found the locket Marc had put in earlier.
"Gross. I bet he was gonna stick his photo in there like some long-lost world war 2 soldier."
Jake placed the locket on the pedestal and used the butt of his gun to destroy it.
Once broken, a puff of smoke emitted from the pieces and began to form the shape of Anubis.
"Newby!" Dawn yelled, hugging the figure once it materialized.
"What happened to me?" The God asked.
"You know in Yugioh where Pegasus traps Yugi's grandpa in a card and later does the same thing to Mokuba?" Dawn replied.
Jake and Anubis were silent.
"Similar to that."
Jake cracked a smile "welcome back, ninita."
