The Evil Spawn

     A thud came from the front of Helio's shop. He quietly put down the dagger he was sharpening and grabbed the gun attached underneath the table that was placed there just this morning.

The shop owner hid next to the doorway with his hands ready to cock the gun and shoot.

Just as a person walked through, he slightly cocked the gun without looking and was about to cock it all the way and shoot when a hand grabbed the gun and flipped it on him.

"I don't feel like getting shot at today thank you."

Helio let out a relieved breath. "Goddammit Alexis. You scared the shit out of me."

"Because of my beauty?" Alexis placed her duffel bag and the gun on the table.

Helio side eyed her before answering.  "Sure—" He walked towards her and placed the gun under the table again. "What do you want?"

"I need you to go to Azkaban. Watch it and tell me as soon as there is any movement from there that is unusual."

"You do know you're talking about Azkaban right? the fortress that no one has ever escaped from? and is also highly guarded?" The guy looked at Alexis like she was crazy as the girl simply opened her bag with a nonchalant face.

"I'm not mental. Of course I know what it is."

"You probably are mental deep down. It's starting to show on the surface."Helio said waving his hand over his face.

"Say that again, I dare you." Alexis pointed her dagger at his face , causing him to put his hands up.

"I'm only telling you to watch it. Not break in. Here—" She placed a notebook and a weird looking pen in front of him.

"What am I doing? Making a collage?"

"Shut up and let me finish. Take this—whatever you write in it will appear in here." She shakes a similar book. "And vice versa. The book can only be opened by its owner or in this case, owners. Which is you and me."

"Wait so no one else can open it?"

"No. Unless they cut your thumbs off and placed it onto the notebook—I doubt they will want what's in this notebook if you just say it's your collage."

Helio gave her a side eye and took the notebook.

"Why the weird looking pen?" He said with a disgusted look.

"Because, in case someone really killed you and wanted to see your collages. This pens ink will explode whatever's written in here, since you would have to press a button on the pen that I hope only you and me will know about before opening the notebook."

"Oh. Okay got it."

"Do not write any stupid shit and only stuff you believe will be useful to me."

"Wait, do you have the same pen? what if they try to kill you and look at my collages?"

Alexis furrowed her brows and looked him up and down. "Have you not seen me in action?"

Helio gulped and pursed his lips together. "Right. So where is this button?"

"You have to prick the tip of the pen onto ur finger."

"Till there's blood?" His eyes grew in shock.

"Yes."

"You love seeing me suffer."

"No comment."

Helio looked at her with a 'really?' face and was about to say something when she interrupted.

"I opened up a job for you. You're one of the guards, don't make yourself noticeable to any of Voldy's goons and don't create trouble."

"How did you—"

The lady took a deep breath in and gathered her things. She picked up the bag and turned towards the door. "I have to go. Don't ruin the shop again."

"It was nice to see you too," Said Helio with a roll of his eyes.

"Toodles."
