//Melissa POV//
After what I told Anna, she told us to follow her back to her apartment. She and her husband were leaving on the far side by the pool. The pool glowed blue due to the lights. And the lights at the stairs barely work so Anna tripped while she climbed them. We finally reached the door; Death was carrying her basket while she slowly opened her door. We all walked in only to see Detective Connors sitting at a chair across from them, he had a shotgun in his hands and it was loaded, we knew that. Anna quickly moved out of the way and pointed a pistol at us. All we did was stand there and waited for them to talk. But they didn’t so Death started.
“uh…What are you doing?” he asked them. He began to walk forward but stopped when the detective cocked the gun at him. Death let go of the basket and playfully put his hands up.
“W-Wait! Mr. Connors! We have to talk to you! We need your help.” I quickly said.
“And why should I help you?” he said angrily.
“We told you that we protect humans from ghosts…and that a Demon is planning to eliminate all the humans. It’s going to happen soon!” I yelled out.
“What!” he lowered his weapon as well his wife did too. “It’s going to happen…”
“He has an army, he is going to attack New York…we need to tell the mayor or whoever to evacuate the island.” Death told him.
“How is he going to believe this? He wouldn’t believe me!” Mr. Connors exclaimed.
“Then…” I had an idea. “We show him, we show them what we Demons are real.”
“I can do that…but you’re not going with me on this, ok?” Death told me and I pout angrily.
“What! NO. Fucking. WAY!” I told him.
“Melissa-“
“I’m not going through with this!”
“Yes you are!”
“No…I’m going with you all the way. I am your partner, ok. And I will be by your side all the way.” I told him. He just looked at me confused; he must have been shocked by what I said so I forced my lips on his. I quickly pulled away to look at his face. He was smiling.
“Fine…but you’re staying at a distance, no excuses.” He said. I was fine with that as long I’m with him. I nodded agreeing.
“So it’s a plan then?” Anna asked them. We nodded to conformation.
“The Mayor is going to give a speech tomorrow in the afternoon. You can show up during the speech. If you have a leader with you-“ I cut Mr. Connors off.
“My father!” I told them. “He is a leader with others like him. Demons call my father Satan Gregory.”
“Can you convince your father to come?” Mr. Connors asked me and I shrugged.
“I don’t know…Death?” I asked him and he nodded.
“I’ll head back to Satan Gregory and tell him. See if he agrees and I’ll come to tell you later that day. Sounds like a plan?” Death told me. Then he looked at Mr. Connors. “And you come up with the best way to evacuate the people.”
