Venno Rapter - The Hellish Series Returns - Series Two

From Bounty to Hunter (Story 1 - Chapter 2)

With Venno: 

The Velociraptor demoness was sitting in her seat, formally Jerry’s, at the large round table. 

Venno had shut her eyes and was patiently waiting for the other Bounty Hunters, minus Barry, to exclaim as to why they didn’t like the idea of Dexx joining the Bounty Hunter Agency after she had told them. 

It was mostly along the lines of Dexx being a former thief and bounty, which Venno knew would be the reason why the other Bounty Hunters wouldn’t like the idea. 

Venno sighed and opened her eyes, the Velociraptor demoness sneaking a quick glance over at Dexx, the Anglerfish demon standing beside her seat with his arms behind his head, a worried look on his face. 

Venno then glanced over at where Barry was sitting, the Wolf Hound demon sitting with his arms crossed and an annoyed look on his face, most likely from everyone speaking too loudly at the same time. 

Barry perked up when he saw Venno had glanced over at him, the Wolf Hound demon frowning and shrugging. 

Venno sighed once more before the Velociraptor demoness quickly stood up from her seat, the chair scraping along the floor and startling everyone silent. 

“Ok, I get that you’re all mad and annoyed with Dexx, but he’s not a bad guy anymore. He gave up on being a thief so he could use his skills for good” said Venno, the Velociraptor demoness glancing around the table to see if anyone had any objections. 

And someone did. 

“Or maybe it’s because you just want to work with him since he’s your boyfriend” muttered someone off to Venno’s right. 

Venno snarled as she quickly turned to see who had spoken, but everyone remained silent in shock from Venno’s sudden anger. 

“Well, never mind that. It wasn’t my idea to invite Dexx to come work with us to begin with. It was Jerry’s” said Venno, the Velociraptor demoness adjusting the hem of her jacket before crossing her arms. 

Everyone was in shock, minus Dexx and Barry. 

“Why would Jerry ‘Sniper’ Rifele, our former boss, want a former thief to join the Bounty Hunter Agency?” demanded the same voice that had spoken before. 

Venno glanced over and spotted who had spoken, the Velociraptor demoness shooting them a quick glare before explaining. 

“Because Dexx has got the skills and agility necessary to be a Bounty Hunter. He has what it takes, and he can get into the mind of a bounty and know their every move because he used to be one. He can escape any situation he can get himself into. If he can outsmart a Bounty Hunter, then surely he can outsmart a bounty” said Venno, the Velociraptor demoness banging her first down on the table when she said the last part. 

The Velociraptor demoness didn’t even want to mention the fact that it was Slendithera and Rad who had gone to Jerry in the first place and convinced him to let Dexx join, but she had a feeling the Bounty Hunters wouldn’t ask. 

This got most of the Bounty Hunters thinking, some of them muttering to themselves while others smiled and nodded when they realized Venno was right. 

“Did he take the training test like everyone of us had?” asked the same Bounty Hunter, his arms crossed as he tilted his head to the side. 

Venno frowned and shook her head, the Velociraptor demoness taking a seat once more. 

“No, but I know what he can do. I know what he’s capable of, and that’s why I didn’t do the training test for him” explained Venno.
