"We arrived to the trailer where Lucifer was suppose to get all TAI's team members gathered but there was only four of them standing behind the trailer. Lucifer, who was picking on Jikininki and the two angels, Hael and Isralfel.

"Where are the others?" Deven asked. Hael shrugged, "No one else got signatures for leave besides us." He said softly. I raised an eyebrow. 'Two demons and two angels. Joy.'

I looked over at Deven who was, how do I put it? Captivated by the female angel, Israfel. I could understand why. Under the dirt and grime, she was down right beautiful. Her voice was smooth like a springs sun but right now she was nimble and thin all though her rich blonde hair still held it golden luster.

At times when we were in the dark, damp cells, I honestly believed that her angelic voice healed some of my wounds.

"Oi! We going some place or we gonna sit here start preening our wings?" Lucifer shouted in annoyance.

"Deven, I sware to God I'm going to kill him soon." I mumbled to my friend. He gave a small chuckle and headed to load the divine beings.

The ride home was... rather interesting. Lucifer rocked the trailer back and forth almost making Deven veere off the road. Cops pulled us over and everything went down hill from there.

"Officer?" I watched as a well built young male walked up to the window, most likely about to start the boring process of license and registration but he abruptly halted with wide eyes. Immediately he reached for his gun as my defensive instincts started to knaw at the corners of my mind.

"There's a divian in your vehicle!" He shouted. I was ready to go through the window until Deven burst in a fit of laughter, both of us were lost for words. "I am not blind son! I can see a massive half-breed sitting next to me." I twitched at the title. The officer nodded and looked at the trailer with a raised eyebrow. "What's in the trailer?" He jerked.

"Nothing but demons without a leash. I'd suggest you not go back there unless you'd like to loose a couple of limbs." He smirked. I resisted the smile at seeing the officers face going white with fear. "I-I need registrations for them then."

Devens perspective

'Oh shit.' I breathed. I gave Lucas a look saying that we're screwed if this doesn't go down right.

"Officer." I said, "the members in the trailer belong to TAI and I am transporting them to the Anderson manor by the orders from the Divine Court." He rolled his eyes, " then give me the paper work." He glared. 'This guy is ticking me off.' I growled.

"Thought so." He started towards the rear. "Damn it! Lucas stay here." I ordered and jumped out of the truck, chasing the officer. "Sir! Please don't open that door." I pled. He turned, eyebrows knotted with anger. "I suggest you get back in the truck or I'll have to use force." He threatened. I refused to let him intimidate me. whats the worse he could do? Kill me?

"You're here by under arrest for the suspension of smuggling divine beings!" he grabbed my shoulder and shoved me into the metal side of the trailer. If I struggle against him then surely I'd be tried with treason.

"Ya hear that Jin. Some scum bag of an officer human is concerned for our safety." Lucifer laughed from inside the hitch. The officer shoved me harder, handcuffing my wrist and dragged me to the back.

The door was locked with a thick chain and metal lock. One of which needed a key, one that I currently have in my possession. "Open it." He whispered with a hot breath. I sighed, "the keys in my pocket." And the officer started to dig in my pants, making me very uncomfortable.

He was so distracted from searching for the key he failed to notice Lucas on the roof, peering down at us with his piercing blue eyes.

I mouthed the words, 'wait till he goes to open it.' The half-breed nodded with understanding. The officer finished his search and shoved me back. I smiled at the rude awakening he was about to receive.

The door opened with a groan and two sets of blood thirsty eyes stared at him. The suns rays seeped into the trailer revealing their owners as the black angle jumped behind the officer. Ultimately he was cornered.

"Well isn't this coincidentally delightful. Jin here hasn't eaten in ages and you seem to be perfect for him." The officer screamed, a pitch which shouldn't come from a mans lips. His cry sent the hairs on the back of my neck on end.

"Jin, don't do it." Lucas said, spreading his wings in a defensive position. I scrambled to my feet and moved around the massive feathered appendage to get a better look. "Please, don't eat me!" He cried while Lucas took a step forward. "I promise you will eat Jin, but not right now. Please hold on a little longer."

The demon nodded and headed back into the depths of the trailer, darkness consuming his form. "Your going soft." Lucifer pouted and followed Jin.

The officer crawled away then bolted to his car, screaming in terror. I was lost on the conversation the two TAI members had and looked at Lucas with a questioning glare.

"Your a warlock I tell you!" A yell raced with the wind. Then the police car sped down the highway. 'Well that was rude.'

Lucas perspective

After we secured the trailer and freed Deven from his handcuffs, we started over the bridge where Cody's house was.

The silence was heavy and it made me uneasy. "So." I turned to look at the body guard. "Why is it Jin has to eat a person?" He asked.

I sighed and looked behind me incase the demon was lurking but it was a silly action.

"Jin or actually Jinikikin, was once a priest. Though his title ment nothing. He only did it for the clothes, free housing and the money from prayer wells." Deven stopped at a red light and looked at me amazed.

"Did he actually know the stuff a priest should know?" I shrugged.

"I don't know but Jin is a corpse eater. He eats everything left from the dead, including offerings, flowers and prayers. When he feeds, nothing but a giant black mass consumes everything in its path."

Deven visiblely shivered as he continued to drive. "He won't harm Cody. Will he?" I shook my head, "No it's Lucifer we have to watch out for, but Jin  Hael and Israfel will watch over him too."

"Well that's good to hear, but how exactly are we going to feed Jin again?" I sighed in annoyance.

The gates to the manor opened and we rolled into the long driveway. "What his master usually did was take him to the prison and allowed him the feed on the people who had the death penalty." Deven nodded in agreement and both of us jumped out, getting ready to let loose the demons and angels.
