"So, you expect this ransom to work because?" Blitz looks very bored.
Thirty minutes passed. Tied up. Now in a cage with Fizzarolli. Yeah, not going to make any business deal at the moment.
"Have you seen how those two sickos interact?" Crimson snarled as he looked at the pair in the cage. Just arrived at the warehouse. A few of their goons working or lounging around.
"Sadly, unlike everyone else here in this room. I have a life outside of him."
"Mmph! Mmmphmp!!" Fizz rolling around in the cage.
"For the last holy time! You aren't the center of my attention! I have a life!"
"Hey boss man. Stu just called. He said the others are waiting at the warehou-Hey! Blitzo!"
"Fuck you, Chad!"
"It's Chaz!"
"Chaz focus here. The report." Crimson snapped at the shark. Why did he bring this one to the warehouse? Oh right. Don't trust him on their property.
"Right. Stu, along with the others are back at your home and turf."
"Finally."
"Hey! What about me in all this shit?" Blitz demanded. Still in the cage tied up.
Crimson stopped to look at him. "Hmm what to indeed. This is a slightly awkward situation. I don't have use for you at the moment. Same with your company questionable money position."
"Wow."
"I could let you go." His eyes narrowed. "But your closeness to this one might be troubling."
"How so?"
"Bad blood or not. You two are 'friends'. How I know you won't try to get in the way? Hmm? Save his life."
Blitz wanted to retort back. How Fizz means nothing to him. He doesn't even want to be part of this shit. For peak sake they actually want to try to trade with Asmodeus. A royal. A sinless person who can get anyone he wants. Not tied down! Even if their interaction that day at the bar was just questionable.
But.
Glance at Fizz who just looks actually terrified a bit. Shit Fizz really should have had an escort on him. Now look where the pair of them are at.
"Your silence says it all."
"Wait. Wait. Wai- "
"You'll stay with us until we get what we want." Crimson eyes glowed as he scowled. "But if you cause any trouble. Well, our little business favor will go out to the waters."
"What that supposed to mean?"
"Will kill you. Swim with the fishes. Do I need to really explain? Heck one the contract deals is to have Fizz on head on the wall. If Asmodeus is paying attention."
Well, shit. Blitz groans. How does he get in these situations? He just wanted to pick up some shit. Why did he have to fight Fizz on the street? Now to top it off might have a client after his ass because of some other assassin!
Shit he is not going to pay attention! Fizz eyes widen in horror. Asmodeus can do great when it comes up with ideas and certain contracts. But when it gets very personal. He will want it over. Done. Fast. Just even sign away without reading. That is why he and sometimes like one the secretaries have to be close by when their certain deals to read over. He really hopes someone close by to make sure he won't do that!
"Now let's get to work." Ready to send the video out.
Ring!
Ring!
Ring!
Crimson pulls out Blitz phone. Rolls his as he turns it off.
"Who was it?" Chaz asked curiously.
"Someone name. Four eyes I would Smash or threesome?" A look of disgust. Toss the phone to Chaz. "Turn everything off. Going to send the video."
Uh oh.
One hour ago.
Moxxie sighs tiredly as they arrive at Greed.
Why?
It was to meet up with Blitz. A last-minute thing to be honest. They would have preferred to stay back home. But their mind started to go a bit heavy, dark and just remembering their time with Striker. Touch their neck and shoulder. That had the necklace, along when he bit him.
Jeez they're getting so pathetic about this.
So, here they are in Greed. A little confused as they look back at their phone. He did say in this are right? Ransom whatever. Walk around a bit. Sigh as he pulls their hoodie up. It just looks like it'll rain. Toxic rain yippee last thing they want. Kept walking as they just mind their own business. Kept going till they reach another area with a few buildings downtown. Stop to see those fly-bugs eating a corpse. One of them is in a wheelchair. It's nothing new there but notice the leashes. The leashes were the same colors. One of the leashes had a handle part but the rest looked like it was torn apart for all of them to move together. Seven all together.
Did someone lose their buddies?
A little sad buzz bark as the albino one seems to struggle with the wheel chair. It looks damaged. The others stop trying to help them up. Worry sounds. Along with looking around for someone.
Stare as they let out a sigh. Send a small text to Blitz, they'll be a little late. Walk over to the pair and kneel down. A small whistle.
They all turn to look at them.
"Can I?" Motion to the albino one in the wheelchair.
What? He may not like being a free babysitter but not that cruel. Plus, it seems like someone lost their pet. These things can be fast from what he says. So, probably let go on accident.
Right?
All of them look weary. But the albino one slowly limped over. A little sad buzz whine as they look at their wheelchair.
"Did that one step on it?" Glance at the eaten body.
Mix happy and buzzing growls.
"All right. All right. Just asking." Goes to sit down against the wall. "Let's get that fixed. Then fine your buddy."
Happy buzzes at that. All of them jump on them.
"IM NOT GOING TO BE YOUR BLOODY BABYSITTER!"
Ten minutes later.
"All right let's try now." Put their small weapon kit down. Just finished fixing up the wheelchair. They used a bit of their healing string just in case the rest of their body was sore.
The albino one moves around. A happy bark buzzes. Comes over to nuzzle their arm.
"Yeah, yeah you're cute."
Buzz!
"All of you are you manipulative bugs." Stood up to gather up the leashes. Tilt their head to see gold lettering on the Leash.
From Ozzie with 💛
"Ozzies? Hmm that doesn't help much." Look around for a number.
Then they all started to bark wildly. Twirl around them in a circle. Clutch onto the leash tightly as they fly in the air as the animals move fast to a building across from them. Land on their back as they let out a little groan. Lift themselves up to see the pets scratching some door.
What?
That makes no sense. If this is their home. Why are they alone? Glance at the four-store building. Was it an apartment complex? Or just one of those normal office buildings. Glance when they hear worried barks at the door. But then a few looked out an open window. Their eyes narrowed as they went to the door.
KNOCK!
No, answer.
KNOCK!
KNOCK!
No, answer still. In fact, they hear nothing. So, far at least. Goes to the doorknob.
Lock.
Turn a bit too harshly. A click can be heard. Push the door open. Held tight on the leash this time to not let the dogs move fast. Watch how they sniffed a lot. Going back and forth towards either the stair case. Or to the area of the back of the room they see a door or two.
This place felt empty.
Guns slid out their sleeves as they were about to take the stairs. Stop looking at the leashes they're holding. Small sigh as their tail picked up the albino. Soon all of them go up to the second floor. Nothing there. They even broke down a few doors.
Just look like a business room being used. The flies weren't interesting. Pull them out to go stumble up their stairs. Soon, move to the third floor. Go straight to the door. Not bothering to go back to the stairs to reach the fourth floor. The pets even went wild to claw the door open.
Lock again.
Did the same thing as before. Now inside the room.
It looks like an office of sorts. A desk. Two bookshelves. A lamp. A random pool table. A fire places. Another random storage desk with books and papers on it. The windows open up. Oh, and the decoration of heads, jaws and horns on the wall.
"This seems oddly familiar." Close the door behind. Let go of the leashes and put the other one down. Let them scurry, run around the place to sniff. Goes to walk over to the random storage desk first. Open it up around. Even check a few of the books. Frown. Kept moving. Sees a pin board goes up to in.
CONCRETE SHOES FOR SALE!
The post shows a pair of concrete shoes underwater.
Frown as they walked to the desk with the fireplace behind them. Look at a very of the Knick knacks. Then back to the wall decorations. Reach out touch the horns in the center.
Real.
Okay this is going a little too far to find their owner. Maybe he can find a name or number here. Open the center drawer. Sees a few papers but stops. Reach out to pull out one of those pocket watches on a black chain. The lid was closed. It looks simply but gives off an old relic vibe of sorts. Dark metal coloring. Notice a small dark green gem in the center. Their thumb traces over it.
Tick.
A pocket watch tick shouldn't be that loud. Right?
The door suddenly slams open. A panting vivid pink skin succubus leaning against the door. Push her tinted glasses up to see three freckles on her cheek. Pale pink hair that style almost like Millie but not as wild. She raises her finger in their direction.
"Hey you! Why you have one of my bosses' dogs?!"
"Found them." Did she run in those ankle high heel boots?
"Interesting story. Or lying!" She stomps over as she slams her hand on the table. "I saw you come inside this place with all of them. So, where my boss?"
Tick.
"I don't know. I thought they lived here." Arms crossed staring up at the taller demoness.
"Live Here-Are you crazy? In the dump? Wall paper? Decoration?" Motion around the place.
"I'm just following them with their noses." Points at the animal sniffing a certain spot on the wall for a long time. Worry whines as they scratched the ground and started to look around.
The young woman huffed with her hands on her hips. "Listen up you, you thief!"
"Thief?"
"Yeah Thief!"
"You?"
"I'm Simone. I ah formalities later! Just tell me where he is. My other boss will likely let you off the hook. Unless you just stole them." Look down at him sternly.
"I didn't steal them. I found eating some corpse. The albino one wheelchair got busted. I fix it. I tried to find the number but the only one I got was Guzzi? Fozzie? Something like that. Now were here in this room." Motion around. Open the drawer to see a few papers. Pull them out. Scan a bit. Their eyes narrowed as they placed them in their coats. Go to another drawer while she kept speaking.
"Sureee." She huffed but she looked at the dogs. They were very jumpy. Concern whinnies. She frowns a bit as she looks them over from their behavior. A look of doubt on her face now. "So, you didn't see them with anyone else?"
"No."
Tick.
"That's not good." She frowns a little. Pick up one handle of the leash. "They're all right. Even the sweater for Precious can't be mistaken. He wouldn't leave them like this. I got to call my boss-"
Tick.
Moxxie stop to open a drawer at the desk. Eyes narrowed. Crouch further down. It was the desk. Look down as he touches the wood. Press their fingers. The wood was very loose. Push it back. Eyes widen.
A bomb with a timer.
15 Seconds.
Tick.
"Where is-Hey! What you doing?" Simon picked up the shorter one with one arm.
10 Seconds.
Tick.
Grab the pets with their tail. All of them quickly went away from the spot. Ran to the open window
5 Seconds.
Tick.
Jump on the window rail.
3 Seconds.
Tick.
A few random demons crossing. Along with what look like a car that probably the girl.
2 Seconds.
Tick.
Then jump out into the open. Swing the dogs at the couple. The dogs landed on couples passing by with no trouble and no injury. Moxxie about to land on the ground while their other arm still held her waist.
"Let me g- ""
0 seconds.
Tick!
BOOM!
Moxxie move quickly to take the heated impact. Grunts as they both landed on the ground as they rolled away. A few breaths as they take a few seconds. Slowly lifted themselves back up. Their hood got back over their head, horns messily. Even with the added weight.
The added weight clinging to them.
Glance to see how her eyes were wide and shaking. Look at the dogs jumping on the groaning couple. All of them, even the wheelchair one, seem okay. Look at the burning two story building. Green fire wrapping all around the inside. Stare at the sight as they let Simone cling to them. Kept an arm wrapped around her while they put the pocket watch they were still holding in their coat. Pull their phone next. Push a number.
RING.
RING.
RING.
"Come on where are you?" Moxxie whispered as they still looked at the fire. The dogs leave the couple to come over towards them. Loud yipps, cuddling close to their body or worrying about whines as they looked at the burning fire.
Nothing.
Blitz didn't pick up.
Their eyes narrowed as they opened a few settings on their phone. Ignored their fight and flight mode as she still held on to him. How they can hear fire engines. Or some demons looking at the fire.
Open the map.
Why Blitz in that area?
Then it vanished.
Stare a little longer as their hand clutch the phone tightly. Then tense when he heard a few voices around.
"Jeez they were lucky."
"Didn't star Fizz and some scar face drag up inside that room? Some street fights."
"Yeah, I think those were his dogs when he was showing off around the city."
"I think it still going crazy on the live stream."
Swipe their phone quickly. Go to one those apps they are kind a glad they let Millie put on. See one that's one the highest view. Play it.
That Blitz fighting whoever that is. Look like that robot from last year. Frizzle? Prizlle? They even spotted a few of those fly-dogs. Then a rope caught the pair and brought them towards an open window. Second floor building. After that it just ended as they never came out.
The same one they were in and now on fire.
"Is that your car?" Moxxie muttered to her. Their tails grabbed the leashes. Eyes scanning the area.
"Y-yes."
"Don't start anything." Stood up. A bit awkward as she was clinging. But able to get her off. Grabs the leashes for her. She holds them.
"Why? Another bomb?" Stayed back a bit now with the seven pets. All buzzy and still a little wild after what happened.
"Maybe." Does a quick work around. Under the car, open the hood, check the trunk and just anything. Open the door as they start to grab the pats and them inside the back seat. "You're good. Now go. Best not stay in this ring right now."
"But- "
"Whoever put a bomb in there might be watching us? Or paid someone to watch the place to set off. Maybe on their way back too. We. You and I. Are casualties that are here at the wrong place and wrong time? Probably the wrong demon." Moxxie hissed at her. Slam the back door shut. Grab her wrist to start dragging her to the front driver seat. Open the door and usher her inside.
She looks back at him. "You don't understand. My other boss. If he learns that the other might be around and I just- "
Moxxie showed her the video. "This is your boss, right?"
"Y-Yeah?" Her eyes widened as she stared at the video. The area. Then then building. "Oh, man what if he was in there."
"It was only us. Look just go back. "
"What about you?"
"Going to find them?"
"Why?"
"The other one owes me big time." Seriously Blitz, what situation you got yourself in now.
"Well, um thanks for you know saving me back there. Just be careful you know. Whoever they're already in big trouble taking Mister F."
"His name Mister F?" Point at the video on their phone.
"No! He is Fizzarolli! A superstar! He is popular here, in Lust, Pride and some other rings too."
"Never heard of him."
DOUBLE HEADSHOT!
"Fizz what the fuck are you doing?"
"I feel like I was hit again!"
~ ~ ~ ~
Done!
Another headshot to Fizz.
Simone isn't her canon name but we're keeping it for now. Unless the name is already out and will change it. She was the one we saw bringing packages those first few seconds of the 'Oops' episode.
Only reason Moxxie didn't screech is because they initiated the touch first. To get them out of that building.
Here a art doodle of the scene I done.
Any questions?
Until next time.
Bye, bye.
