"We're back." Chan announced, walking in with the whole unit.

"Any luck with finding Felix?" Seungmin asked popping up his head from a book.

"No luck at all, it's like he just vanished! Uh.. who's this?" Lee Know asks eyeing Changbin.

He was reading a newspaper in a spiny chair with his legs crossed on the desk.

Jeongin popped his head out the mini fridge.

"Well uh.. it's a lot to explain."  Seungmin says awkwardly.

{Vhrrrr} goes the vending machine.

"Hey! Where's the drink?" Han growled as he kicked the machine.

"Ugh. This is hopeless. Everything feels so dull without seeing Minho's pretty face. I should probably go back but need to have some valuable information.." Han paced back and forth.

"Aha! I know what everyone wants, Felix's whereabouts! If I find out where he is then maybe I can make a sweet deal with Minho." The demon giggled to himself.

"A what..?"

"I'll convert you back into a demon." The lifeless entity repeated.

"No! I'm trying to get rid of all of you! If I turn into one then that destroys my whole purpose of being in the task force! Speaking of, they must be worried about me right now, I have to get back." Felix got up and attempted to run.

Hyunjin got up as well and held his arm out. Felix stopped running in an instant and fell to the ground.

The fallen detective tried to get up but he suddenly felt too weak to move a muscle.

Hyunjin slowly approached him with a tiny smirk on his face. He kneeled down to his level and held out his finger in front of Felix's forehead again.

"This won't hurt. ..much."

"Are you sure you can trust him?" Hatsu asks giving puzzled glances to Changbin.

"We made a promise." Seungmin rolled up his sleeve, revealing the symbol that was drawn on his wrist earlier. It was engraved onto his skin like a tattoo.  "If he breaks it then I kill him."

"It's not hard to understand, Chopsticks." Changbin scoffed.

"Chopsticks?!" Hatsu repeated in a surprised tone.

"But where did Han go?" Lee Know questioned.

"Ah, you see, he wanted everything to go his way but it didn't so he left. What an absolute idiot." The long horned demon replied.
