The Young Harpy Demoness (Story 9 - Part 4)

With Jerry: 

The Spider demon was sitting at his desk, having just picked up the phone and was currently speaking to one of the front desk staff. 

He had debated whether he wanted to call ahead and tell the two Harpy demons that they had found their daughter, having even thought of dropping her off at their casino without telling them, but had decided against it. 

“Grand Harpy Casino and Hotel, front desk speaking, how may I help you?” answered a different front desk worker. 

“Jerry ‘Sniper’ Rifele, Overlord of Bounty Hunting. I’d like to speak to one of your bosses. Doesn't matter which, and make it quick”  said Jerry impatiently, crossing his bottom two arms while his top left hand held his cigarette. 

“Oh! Yes, of course, sir. Please wait a moment” said the front desk worker. 

Jerry sat in silence as he waited, wanting to get the call over with so he could try getting more answers out of the young Harpy demoness. 

“Hello? This is Mrs.Harpins, what would you like?” asked Mrs.Harpins, startling Jerry out of his thoughts. 

Jerry cleared his throat as he regained himself, taking a quick puff from his cigarette before speaking. 

“It’s Jerry ‘Sniper’ Rifele, and I just wanted to inform you that we found your daughter” said Jerry, getting straight to the point. 

Jerry heard the sound of the Harpy demoness gasping in shock. 

“Is my little girl alright? Did she get hurt? Where did you find her?” asked Mrs.Harpins frantically, sounding both excited yet worried about the well being of her daughter. 

Jerry sighed, deciding not to answer most of the questions at the moment, knowing the two Harpy demons would be on their way the second they end their conversation. 

“Yes, she’s alright, and no she is not hurt. I’ll explain the rest when you come pick her up, which I assume you’ll be doing anyway. We’ll continue this conversation when you arrive” said Jerry, the Spider demon doing his best not to burst out in anger and yell at the two Harpy demons for wasting his time by posting a bounty on their daughter. 

“Of course! We’ll be there as soon as we can” said Mrs.Harpins excitedly before quickly hanging up. 

Jerry raised an eyebrow in confusion before shrugging, glad that he didn’t have to talk to them at the moment. 

Just as Jerry was about to get up and leave his office, he was startled by his phone ringing. 

Confused as to who it was, Jerry picked up. 

“This is Mr.Rifele, what would you like?” asked Jerry, getting impatient. 

“This is the Pentagram city hospital. One of our patients would like to speak to you” answered a demoness on the other end.

Jerry perked up, knowing exactly who it was. 

“Put him on” said Jerry, wanting to know if his Bounty Investigator would be alright and when he’d be able to for work so they could start bringing in more bounties.

The demoness did as he said, handing the phone over to the Falcon demon who was sitting up in bed. 

“Hello Mr.Rifele. I’ve been told that I’m going to be fine and that I should be well again soon” started the Falcon demon. 

Jerry smiled as he took a quick puff from his cigarette. 

“That’s great news. Can’t wait to have you back here so we could continue bringing in more bounties. When do you think you’ll be able to return to work?” asked Jerry.
