***************************That same night at Chris Tanner's mansion, A.K.A. Burnaman,Chris was sitting down on a long couch that was in the middle of his large living room. He activated four different arrows in the air: three red arrows and one purple arrow that was on top of his right hand. His demon was hovering in the sky next to him."What do you think is the most effective way to use these three wings and arrows?" Chris asked in a low tone as he gazed at the purple arrow on his hand."Red arrows don’t allow you to tell someone to kill themselves, and you can’t tell someone to commit murder either; that means I have to be very careful with my use of the purple arrow. It’s the only thing I have that can kill someone else," Chris stated in a calm tone with his gaze still fixed on the purple arrow. All the things he was saying, he was saying them for his demon to hear."However, what if someone starts out urgently wanting to die? Or even wanting to kill someone," he added."I unde
They were multiple women that were busy practicing their aim as they fired arrows across the target boards that were on the other side of the field.Chris and his friend were both sitting down on a bench at the side of the field as they watched the beautiful women shoot arrows."All these women are so cute, but some of them look three years younger than us," Desmond said in a low tone."Women their age are the prettiest; their bodies and minds are pure," Chris replied in a calm, nonchalant tone. With the expression on his face, it was like he doesn’t want to be there with Desmond atall."But still, I wish I could date a young girl like that," Desmond said."Listen, if you would be willing to die in order to sleep with one of these younger babes, I could make one of them fall head over heels for you," Chris replied."Seriously?" Desmond asked in confusion. He was wondering how that could even be possible for Chris to do."But there is a catch; you will definitely die for real after the
His focus was still on the news."We have this breaking news: what’s believed to be a declaration of criminal intent by fugitive girl C has been released to the public. The note reads….." Before the news presenter could continue, Kevin interrupted."What did I just say, unusual behavior, who let that girl escape? She even left a note," Kevin said."Wait a minute, wings and arrows can they be given over to humans who aren’t devil candidates?" Kevin asked as he turned around and looked at Mordecai and Revel."Yes, but only with conditions," Revel answered."This means that Burnaman could have given them to that fugitive girl," Brianna said with her eyes wide open."Yeah, but one to three of C’s murder victims were stabbed to death with a knife," Trevor replied as he stared at Brianna."Hey, if she has gotten hold of a knife, she won’t need a purple arrow," Kevin said.They were all trying to figure out if the fugitive girl had been given wings and arrows or if she was just killing peopl
**********************At Brianna’s apartment,"Alright, let’s review everything we know so far," Revel said with his hands folded together. Trevor, Brianna, and Kevin were all sitting down on the floor around the center table in the living room. Revel and Mordecai were standing behind them."Burnaman currently has three sets of wings and arrows that he picked up from the devil candidates he has been able to eliminate to date. He has also found out that it is possible to share wings and arrows with humans who aren’t devil candidates; however, he can’t just hand them over unconditionally; to give them to someone, he must first shoot the human with a red arrow,"Once the tools have been shared, the humans can use the wings and arrows as they please until the initial red arrow effect wears off after thirty-three days," Revel explained in a rumbling tone to ensure that everyone hears what he is saying.But there was a detail that they missed about the wings and arrows Burnaman has: Burnam
"Hey, what's wrong?!" Kevin and Brianna both shouted in unison."I can’t do it; I can’t kill Burnaman with a purple arrow," Trevor replied in a shaky voice. Kevin saw the pain that Trevor experienced just thinking about killing Burnaman; he moved closer to him and placed one hand on his shoulder."Alright, that is enough for today; don’t think about it again," Kevin said in a calm tone.He will have to find the courage to kill Burnaman at some point, Kevin thought.Kevin was leaving the apartment; he was wearing his suit jacket and carrying his black briefcase in his hand as he walked towards the balcony."Well, I will come by again tomorrow and we will talk some more; in the meantime, you guys should keep your guard up. If Burnaman is trying to lure out more devil candidates, he would send out a clear signal," Kevin said as he opened the sliding door that leads out of the balcony."Okay, we won’t do anything reckless," Mordecai replied.Kevin turned around and looked in Trevor’s dir
"Huh?" Trevor and Brianna both gasped. Brianna’s cellphone started to beep."Give me a second, guys," she said as she carried her cellphone and looked at the notification."Hey, there is an update about a dead victim on the grand tower," she said in a high-pitched voice."What?!" Everyone in the room gasped, including all the demons.Brianna began to read the news about the deceased victim, who was also a high school girl. Then she showed everyone the photo of the victim on the tower."Girl C did that, and I think she posted that photo. She is still up there at that tower; people on social media are saying a girl is flying around the tower," Brianna said, still reading from her cellphone."Damn it!" Kevin yelled as he threw the school uniform on the floor."I figured we could search for girl C and stop her, but it turns out she has been at the grand tower all this time," Kevin said with his lips tightly pressed together."Burnaman is making it obvious; anyone who is not a cop at that
"Mr. Burnaman told me that if anybody with wings shows up, I have to stay with them. So, I don’t have a choice," girl C stated as she stared at Kevin with a creepy look in her eyes. Kevin pulled a pistol from one of his suit pockets and pointed it at girl C.Suddenly, the entire grand tower erupted in flames. Kevin and girl C was still on it."Mr. Keviiinn!" Trevor screamed in a lot of pain as he saw the explosion. The explosion shook the entire city; everyone started wondering what had happened, vehicles that were passing by all stopped and looked toward the tower.What just happened? I thought that Burnaman was supposed to show up? Trevor reflected as he hovered in the sky next to the tower, his eyes wide open. He couldn't believe the tower had just exploded while Kevin and Girl C were on top.He saw Kevin’s body falling from the tower at extreme speed. He flew after his body and caught him as they both landed on the roof of a building."Mr. Kevin! Mr. Kevin! Don’t die! Please don’t
They were watching the news. They saw that Grand Tower had exploded, and the news presenter told them that Girl C was on the tower when the blast occurred."Trevor and Mr. Kevin were also on the tower; do you think they might have died?" Brianna asked with her eyes wide open as she turned to look at Revel."I am sure they are both fine," he answered in a calm tone."But that was their destination," she said as she turned to face the television. She saw Mordecai flying past the news camera that was at the grand tower. She let out a sigh of relief.This means they're fine, she reasoned.************************Back at the building that was next to the grand tower:Trevor and Kevin were both tired of trying to talk to Burnaman. They both spread their wings and flew off the ground slowly."Can you fly?" Trevor asked in a low tone as he looked towards Kevin."Yeah, I can; I think I’m fine," Kevin answered."But I have no intentions of ending this by just running off; we will have to fight
"Yeah, you do need answers," Lucifer said softly.**********The following morning,Trevor arrived in front of Ezekiel’s apartment door. This is it, he gulped as he pushed the doorbell at the side of the door. He had called Ezekiel and told him that he wanted to come over and visit him, which Ezekiel agreed to.Suddenly, Ezekiel opened the front door with a bright smile. "Trevor! It’s you; welcome to my apartment," Ezekiel shook his hand."Come on in," Ezekiel said as he turned around and attempted to walk inside.Seeing that he had turned around, Trevor saw it as the perfect opportunity to grab Ezekiel. He swiftly walked closer to him as he wrapped his arm around Ezekiel’s neck as he held him tightly, and they both fell to the ground with Trevor still holding him tightly."What is wrong with you?! Why are you holding me?" Ezekiel asked under his breath; he couldn’t speak properly."I know who you are, Ezekiel, you are an angel of a special ranking, and you have been the one behind al
"What happened, babe? Why is your face like that?" She asked, raising an eyebrow."It’s nothing," he responded softly."Did something happen during your walk?" She inquired."Nothing happened; I need some alone time for now, babe," he responded as he stood and walked towards the balcony.With his reaction, Brianna could tell that something was bothering him, but she didn’t want to add to his worries, so she stood up and went into the bedroom.Trevor arrived at the balcony; he placed his hand on the iron bar as he gazed in front of him as the cold breeze blew through his hair.So all this while Ezekiel got close to me, he was an angel, and judging from the amount of haloes on his head, he is a special-rank angel. How was he able to hide his wings and halo from me? I mean I saw Jordan’s halos all the time and also saw Uriel’s halo, but why didn’t I see his own or get a clue that he was an angel? Trevor wondered."He probably has a special power that can make him hide his powers from oth
“Oh my, after everything that happened to you, you let the restaurant get away with what happened, you would have gotten damage control for what they have done to you,” Ezekiel said in a surprised tone.“I know that, but I don’t want to get any money from them or try to make things difficult for them. What has happened has happened and it is now in the past,” he replied.Wow, it seems Duke is now out of prison and Trevor doesn’t want to pursue any legal actions against him or the restaurant. It’s either he has a kind heart or he is just stupid. But either way, everything worked together for my good, he thought.“I feel you on that. You know something, you are a very kind-hearted person, if another person were to be in your position, they wouldn’t have let this all go that easily,” Ezekiel said.“Yeah, but I am me and I will handle the situation however I want,” he replied.Why is Ezekiel saying all this? What’s his concern if I don’t want to pursue any legal actions on the incident? I
I can’t tell her the main reason I don’t want to press charges, if I do that, she is going to be worried, if she finds out that the waiter that poured me the water was actually under the influence of a red arrow, she’s not going to be able to rest, he thought.“Babe, I don’t want to do that because I don’t want to complicate the waiter of the restaurant’s life. The waiter might be going through a lot, and my face has already been scarred, suing them will just be unnecessary because it won’t take my face back to normal,” he explained softly.Brianna lowered her gaze as she sighed. “I get where you are coming from,” she muttered.**********Three days later,Trevor just got back home from the hospital after being discharged, he was sitting behind a desk that had a large mirror in front of it. He looked at his face in the mirror, as he touched the bandage on his face. Brianna was standing behind him.“The doctor said you can remove the bandage,” Brianna said in a soft tone.“I know, I’m
**********About three hours later in the hospital ward,Brianna was sitting on a chair at the side of Trevor’s hospital bed. She was holding his left hand while staring at him.“How did all this happen to you, babe?” She asked raising an eyebrow.“I don’t know but the police have arrested the waiter that poured the water on me, and they are currently investigating the accident to know whether it was intentional or not,” he answered.“OK, but I hate seeing you like this, how could something like this happen to you? It’s not fair,” she said in a shaky tone.“Don’t worry babe you don’t have to feel sad; I will be fine with time, everything is going to be fine,” he replied as he rubbed her hand.“You know Trevor, somehow this is your fault, if you hadn’t gone out on that lunch or had been cautious like I told you, this would not have happened to you,” Lucifer said calmly in Trevor’s mind.“Don’t blame me for this, I was cautious, and I never imagined that something like this would happen
"Alright then, I trust you. You will have to wait for me to text you; it might not be tomorrow or next week, but once I text you, just know that you will have to be ready," he said calmly."Of course, I will make sure that I am ready," Duke replied.This is good; I believe that Duke will get the job done, Ezekiel thought.***After Duke had left Ezekiel’s apartment, he went into his bedroom and sat down at the edge of his bed as he took out his cellphone and dialed Trevor’s number. Trevor answered the call."Hey, it’s been a while since I heard from you; how have you been?" Ezekiel asked softly."I have been great; things are good, and how about you? Have you properly understood the city yet?" Trevor inquired with a lot of excitement in his voice."Yes, I have; I have taken the time to explore a few places in the city, and I must say Los Angeles is great.""That’s good to hear," Trevor muttered."I would like to know if you would have the chance to grab lunch with me tomorrow." Ezekie
"It has not been easy, but the only thing that keeps me going is knowing that he had a child with Brianna before dying," Gabriel answered calmly, staring into Dalton’s eyes."Tell me, where is Brianna? She is one of the reasons I even came here today," Gabriel said.Dalton swiftly broke eye contact with him as he lowered his gaze. He didn’t know how he was supposed to tell him that Brianna had moved in with Trevor, the former person she almost married before leaving him for Jordan. Dalton didn't know how he was going to break the news to him, but he knew that even if he tried to avoid the question today, Gabriel would still find out the truth in the future, so he gathered the courage as he raised his head to look at Gabriel."Dalton, tell me, where is she?" Gabriel added."Brianna is currently staying with Trevor, her new boyfriend, and the person she plans on getting married to," Dalton answered."What! How could that be!" Gabriel yelled as he stood up from the couch with a huge frow
**********Meanwhile, in Ezekiel’s apartment, he was sitting behind his desktop computer at the side of his bed with headphones on his head. He was listening to Trevor and Brianna’s conversation. After finding out that Josh had been captured, he stood up and dropped the headphones.I can’t believe Josh was so stupid as to get caught; why can’t he just abandon the truck after selling the stuff inside? He must be a real fool for getting caught. One thing I know for sure is that he is not going to tell the police about me; the red arrow will make sure of that, he thought.He ambled over to his bed and laid down. At least Josh was able to carry out the task I gave him; he was able to sell the properties. It’s going to take a while before Brianna would be able to buy back all the things she has lost, thus she is currently very unhappy, and Trevor would also be sad seeing her unhappy. I will have to give them a few days to regroup before I come up with another plan, he thought.***********
Raymond was sitting behind a table in front of Josh in a dark room that had a white bulb above the table. Josh's hands were in handcuffs on the table, while Raymond’s hands were clasped together on the table. A police officer was standing at Raymond’s right side."First of all, I would like to know why you ran away with the truck in the first place? Didn’t you think of the consequences and that we were going to catch you?" Raymond asked calmly, staring into Josh’s eyes. Raymond has been an investigator for years, so he has seen all types of criminals and has even interrogated them. What he has learned over the years is that all criminals have an origin story.I thought I did everything that the angel told me right; I didn’t think that I was going to get caught this easily, and now this detective wants to know why I did everything, I can’t tell him the truth about why I did what I did; I won’t say anything about the angel; I will just have to come up with a lie, Josh thought."I ran aw
