Andrew

Thump

“I si in the palm of your hand…”

Thump

My fist connects again with his body and this time it elicits a muffled screech That tends to happen when soe, for such vital organs, the body sure didn’t keep them hidden inside somewhere safe

The screaainst the other kidney If I was a gablood for a week if he wasn’t destined to die pretty soon

“You were a part of the inner circle You had your olden teat! How the fuck could you betray Lucifer?” I ask

Standing in front of Bart, I shake my head at him His eyes are ith terror, and if I’m not mistaken, he pissed himself recently

“All you had to do was tell Lucifer the Japs had approached you You could have told hi to pay you off You know for a fact he would have fixed you up He always takes care of us!”

I don’t mean to scream that at the end, but Bart has to have known that

Loyalties have been tested in the past with souys, and every time Lucifer was there to make sure we followed him To make sure we kneas as loyal to us as we are to him

The shrill sound ofat his eyes My fist is inches away from his nose when I stop myself

I grin at him

Wagging a finger in his eyes, I say, “Not just yet, be right back You just hang out for me”

I pull the phone out of the suit jacket I left hanging on the back of the shitty chair in this roo way past its priain, if it wasn’t an abandoned old motel out in the middle of nowhere it wouldn’t be so shitty

“This is Andrew”

“Andrew, my friend!”

“Harrold, I was going to call you soon… How’re things going?”

“Busy, as you well know Mr Lucifer infor my services today I wanted to see if you had a time frame…”

Winking at a terrified Bart, I say, “Can you meet me at the old er”
