 Will had been quite surprised when he followed Apo and Orange to the west side of the city. He had told them to stay away from there, but they seemed to know where they were going. Will knew to keep his head down around here, but Apo and Orange didn't.

Will was wrapped in a brown leather jacket with the hood up, which was hopefully hiding his horns a bit, and hiding him from their brother.

They approached a plant shop, but it had one of those anti-demon signs, so Will hid behind another building until he heard the shop bell ring. They went in anyway. Those idiots!

He quickly walked in behind them, still hiding his horns in the hood. He pretended to be interested in a couple of tulips while he watched his brother from the corner of their eye.

The store cashier had quickly taken notice of the two demons that had entered the shop, and had been fast to make a big fuss.

"You are not permitted to come in here, tieflings." He said, emphasizing the last word.

Will's grip tightened on the seed packet he was inspecting.

Someone rushed out from the door to the back part of the store. "What in the world could be making all of this commotion?!" She yelled angrily. "I was on the phone with a customer, I asked you to be quiet!"

Will risked a glance at the scene. Apo and Orange stood in front of the counter, their backs turned to Will while the cashier looked on angrily. The woman who had rushed in wore a green shirt, and had long, dark brown hair and green eyes. A name card on her shirt read Shaela.

Apo and Orange both reached for something on their necks, and as they did so Shaela's eyes widened and she started laughing nervously.

She came out from behind the counter, saying, "I am so sorry about that! Here, follow me to the back."

She treated them like they were honored guests. And both Will and the cashier were very confused about it.

Orange and Apo followed Shaela through the door.

The cashier banged his hand on the counter, shaking his head and walking out to restock shelves, mumbling, "I don't get paid enough for this crap..."

That was Will's opportunity. He snuck in the backdoor after his brother, being careful to be quiet.

Apo and Orange followed Shaela down a flight of stairs and to a hallway. There were two doors, one labeled EXIT and one unlabeled, which Apo and Orange went through after Shaela. Will pressed his ear up to the door, listening for anything interesting.

"Here, sit down. Again, I'm so sorry for my employee's actions today. The only people who'd let me rent a building for my shop don't let me allow demons in, which is a problem when other mythical creatures would like to visit, as not many would choose to disguise as a human."

Mythical creatures? What is she on about?

"That's fine, it worked out anyway. Back to why we're here," Orange spoke confidently for the first time since Will had met him. "We heard you know some things about a certain group of werewolves..."

Will could imagine Shaela's head shaking as she said, "No. Absolutely not. If they find out that I told you do you know what they'd do to m-"

She was cut off by the sound of metal coins clinking against each other as they hit the table.

Will could hear the smile in her voice. "You've got yourself a deal." A sudden sound of a chair being pushed backwards was heard, and she walked around the room.
