Venno Rapter ~ A Hellish Series ~

Mother's Instinct (Story 10 - Part 4)

With Venno: 

The Velociraptor demoness was barely listening as she sat in the viewing room, she and Jerry listening to the conversation Fiona was having with the Hawk demon. 

The Pomeranian demoness was asking simple questions politely, respecting the Hawk demon’s wishes when he refuses to answer one and will just move on to a different question. 

So far, Fiona was doing a great job as the new Bounty Investigator, despite the fact that she still seemed a little nervous when speaking to the bounties. 

Jerry took a slow puff from his cigarette before sighing, checking his watch once again to see what time it was. 

“I know I asked her to be the new Bounty Investigator, but does it really take so long to get a confession out of them?” muttered Jerry mostly to himself, the Spider demon starting to get a little impatient with the slow progress. 

Venno managed to snap out of her thoughts, having heard what Jerry said. 

“It does take a little longer than we’re used to, boss, but she does manage to get a willing confession out of them by just having a conversation with them” admitted Venno, agreeing with the Spider demon. 

Jerry sighed once more before getting up and walking through the door into the interview room, startling both Fiona and the Hawk demon. 

“Come on, Fiona, a little faster would you? We’ve got other bounties coming in, soon, that also need interviewing. We can’t be stuck on one for more than five minutes, got it?” said Jerry, deciding to start giving Fiona five minutes with each interview. 

Fiona looked even more nervous now, the Pomeranian demoness’ ears laying flat against her head. 

“Oh, I’m so sorry, boss. I’ll try to do better next time” said Fiona apologetically, bowing her head. 

Jerry hummed in thought before nodding, deciding to leave Fiona to it once more, entering back into the viewing room and sitting back down on his chair. 

“You sure that was a good idea?” asked Venno, watching as Fiona quickly fixed her hair before returning to her interrogation with the Hawk demon. 

Jerry took a quick puff from his cigarette before shrugging. 

“Honestly, Raptor, it’s been nearly ten minutes. Normally it would take around five. Not to mention that your mother is now in Hell, so I assume you want to go back home so you and your siblings could do some catching up with her” said Jerry, tossing his cigarette in the nearby trash bin before swiftly lighting a new one. 

Venno sighed, glancing away. 

Jerry raised an eyebrow in confusion, deciding to ignore the interrogation going on in favor of knowing what was on Venno’s mind. 

“Care to explain why you’re not excited to see your mother again?” asked Jerry, crossing his arms. 

Venno was silent for a minute, trying to think of how to explain it before shrugging. 

“I don’t know, maybe it’s the fact that she probably doesn’t like that I’m a Bounty Hunter, or maybe it’s the fact that she avoided telling us what she did and how she died” admitted Venno. 

Jerry hummed in thought before returning his attention back to the interview. 

“You go on ahead and leave the interrogation to me. Go to the archives and ask Scott to find some info about your mom. I’m sure he’ll be able to find something” said Jerry.
