Book 2 - Chapter 1

I made it to Dallas.  It's not nearly as cool as Albuquerque, but I have a job to do.  I meet up with the guy in about two hours to see what the dealie-o is.  He runs a signage warehouse and needs to upgrade his POS system and also needs new cables ran.  Something tells me I'm going to regret this one.

Anyways, real quick, my author friend Jeremy Croston has a new book coming out tomorrow, The Wrath of Pan.  Its a sequel to The Cactus Killer (which I haven't read yet, but I'll get to soon).  Congrats to him and I hope it does well.

Last week, I made a promise to you guys that if I finished chapter 13, I'd put up the first chapter of my draft for you to read.  Well last night I put the finishing touches on 14, so it's time to pay up.  Keep in mind this is just my rough draft and I'm sure there are a ton of errors.  If grammar pisses you off, you might want to wait until the edited version comes out later spring/summer.  Also, as always there is sex, swearing, and all that.  You've been warned.

Chapter 1 - A Baby Among Us



“Wahhhhhhh!”
“Roxanne, come get this thing!  It’s making noise and it stinks!”

Walking into the room, “Derrick, it is just a baby!  Come here precious.”  She reached down and took the thing out of my hands.

“Just a baby?  That thing is a terror!  It’s worse than those two Greed demons we put down by the docks.”

In case you’re new here, my name is Derrick Grimm and the good looking lady holding the kid is my sidekick Roxanne.

Getting slapped on the head, “Oww!  What was that for?”  Roxanne’s eyes were flashing red.

“I am far more than just your sidekick!  Don’t you make me sound like some waif who is reliant upon you!

“Wait, how did you know what I was thinking?”

With an evil grin, “I know everything.”  With that, she took the baby and walked back to the kitchen.

Where was I?  Oh yeah, I’m Derrick and that was my business partner, girlfriend, and all around awesome lady Roxanne.

“That is much better!”  Good lord, I need to be careful around her.

Anyways, the two of us run this little private eye agency in south Philly called Death Among Us.  We handle very sensitive cases if you catch my drift.  We’re also a lot more than what we seem, which is a nice way of saying we aren’t human.  Don’t worry, neither was the little kid I was holding.  No, that thing was a lot more than just a baby.

“Have you gotten to the part where you told the people I’m a sex demon and you’re the horseman Death?”

“No I haven’t and you just ruined it for me!  C’mon, why do you always do this to me?”

There was no answer.  That figures, she takes the thunder and leaves me with the small details.  Well, she’s right.  I’m the horseman Death, brother of War, Conquest, and Famine.  Those three hang out in Eden, the Garden of Eternity while I slum it up on Earth.  As for Roxanne, she is a Lust demon (a succubus if you will) and the daughter of the most dangerous one, Lilith.

So, how did we get paired up?  A very interesting question with an equally interesting answer.  Well she tricked the shit out of me to take care of her former boss, and lover, Beelzebub.  In the process, I was able to tap back into my spirit fire and regained a bit of my former glory.

So the two of us stuck together after that, settling in Philadelphia and opening this little agency.  So far, most of our clients were humans who’d dabbled in something they shouldn’t have and brought a demon over.  Those were the easy jobs that paid well too.
Unfortunately with our current case, it seemed something a bit more was happening.  I guess we should take this story from the top.
**Two Days Earlier**
“AHHHHH FUCK ME!!!!”
Good night she was loud, but it’d been a few days and Roxanne was horny.  I hadn’t even made it to the bedroom before she jumped me.  Not that I’m complaining, trust me.
The Lust demon was mounted on me, my pants still halfway on, and giving into her inner desires.  “Impale me with your scythe!  Ughhhh!!!”
She was a bit campy when she got into this state, but I was too caught up in the actual physical acts to care.  It had been a few days for me too after all and I was enjoying the extra special care I was receiving.  The best part is when she was totally gone like this, she did most of the work.  Granted in a few hours or so, I’d be expected to pay back, but que sara.
She ripped my shirt away and grabbed my shoulders for leverage.  It happened before I could do a damn thing about it.  She tightened up around me and a few extra gyrations for my benefit.  She looked me directly in the eye, “FILL ME NOW!!!”
That always does it.  I don’t know about you, but when a hot girl commands me to do something, I tend to go along with it.  I finished up well before her, but she kept working and coaxed out another, smaller, orgasm from me.
When she finished, she collapsed on the floor beside me, the sex minx gone, replaced by the sweet Angel-Friend the Arch-Angel Michael had bestowed her as.  “Phew, I needed that!  You shouldn’t keep me waiting lover boy!”
I was insulted.  “Umm, you were the one saying I needed to take on more clients.  I do believe you told me the rent doesn’t pay itself.”
She poked me on the nose.  “You’re so cute when you’re riled up.  Oh yeah!”  She jumped up and hiked her skirt back up, “Veronica called and is on her way over.”
“Roxy, you’re killing me, you know that?”
She just winked and scattered off to get ready for our visitor.  Veronica was an Angel and a particularly cool one in my book.  She got me out of a bad contract I once signed with a traitor named Yuri.
I too got myself presentable and went out to the front office area of our apartment/agency.  We got a great deal on the office front and the one bedroom pad right behind it.  And by ‘we,’ I mean Roxanne.  She charmed the pants off the landlord, literally.  It was quite the embarrassing scene, especially in front of his wife.
“Hey, you made dinner?”  I walked in to the kitchen full of wonderful smells.  Tonight it seemed meatloaf was on the menu.
“Of course, I thought it would be rude to at least not invite for to dine with us.”  She bent over and popped open the oven.  In one swift motion, she pulled out a perfectly cooked meal.  “Stop gawking at my ass and set the table.”
“Yes dear.”  Caught again!  None-the-less she wasn’t wearing any underwear and my curious nature was rewarded.  Doing as I was told though, I got three places settings in order just as the office door bell rung.  Our guest was hear.
“Rox, Derrick, you two here?”
“Yeah, come on back to the kitchen.  Roxanne made you dinner.”
It only took a few moments, but a beautiful blonde Angel walked in.  As always, she was dressed in a business suit and had a brief case with her.  She smiled as she walked in.  “Rox, you did not have to go to the trouble.”
“It was nothing, besides what you don’t eat, the garbage disposal,” she pointed at me, “will take care of.”
The three of us gathered around the table.  Sure enough, I put away quite a few pieces of meatloaf, plus two baked potatoes.  Neither of the girls ate that much, which gave them ample time to talk about way Veronica was here.
“I have recently received a disturbing request in this area.  I know the agreement is no longer in place, but I thought I might try to bring you in on this one Derrick, if you are up for it.”
My mouth was full, so Roxanne answered on behalf of both of us.  “For you, we will do anything.  Tell us more about this request darling.”
She grabbed her briefcase and pulled out a file.  “About three city blocks from here, a woman and her child are apparently being pursued by Greed demons.  Obviously the woman does not know this, but the local guardian reported it.  When he went to investigate, he disappeared.”
Well that didn’t sound good.  “How long ago did this happen?”
“Last night.  At first we were tempted to handle this on our own, but after a meeting with Michael, it was decided to reach out to you.”
“Hmm… where did all of this happen?”
She handed me the report to read while she talked.  “Down by the docks of the Delaware River.  If possible, would you be able to go down there tonight and see if we missed anything?”
As I nodded, Roxanne broke in.  “What of the woman and her child?”
Veronica’s face got all red.  “This is where it gets a bit sticky.  We do not know exactly where they are.”
I would’ve said yes just to get rid of the Greed demons from the city.  But, as soon as Roxanne heard there was a missing woman and a child, she jumped to her feet.  “Derrick, you’re done eating.  We must find help immediately.”
“But I’m still hungry…”
