Venno Rapter - The Hellish Series Returns - Series Two

The Inner Hound (Story 5 - Chapter 3)

With Venno:

The Velociraptor demoness got out of the vehicle, her personal driver having just dropped herself, her fiance, and Scott off at the train station, the Possum demon opting to sit in the passenger seat so that Venno and Dexx could sit alone in the back together. 

As Dexx closed the door, having quickly jumped out to open it and help her out, Venno was able to quickly spot the team of five Bounty Field Team members. Two of them were Wolf demons, one was a Lion demon, another was an Imp, and the last one appeared to be a Golden Eagle demon. 

They hadn’t even made an effort to not stand out, all five of them wearing their full on field team uniforms with the heavy armor and weapons slung on their belts and over their backs, two of them even holding their rifles as they casually looked around and waited. They were all wearing a pair of shades, as well. 

Some denizens who were walking by were giving them confused looks while others looked away as quickly as they laid eyes on the five, unsure as to why they were there in the first place and who they were waiting for. 

“Seriously? I thought you would have changed into some disguises to look like regular denizens with luggage so you wouldn’t draw too much attention to yourselves. We don’t want word about five heavily armed Bounty Field Team operators getting off a train in New Strip City, otherwise those three bounties will know something is up” said Venno quickly, the Velociraptor demoness walking over to where the five were standing. 

The Field Team leader, who was the Golden Eagle demon and wearing a red beret to help distinguish himself, bowed his head in understanding. 

“Understood, we just didn’t have enough time to prepare ourselves when we got the call to meet you here. I apologize for not being more prepared” said the Golden Eagle demon respectfully, ashamed that he hadn’t assumed that Venno wanted them all in disguise. 

Venno sighed and shook her head, her arms crossed. 

“No, it’s my fault. I should have told you when I made the call. This is the first time I had to ever organize a rescue party to get back one of our Bounty Hunters” said Venno, the Velociraptor demoness glancing over at Dexx as he and Scott walked over. 

Dexx just smiled and wrapped a comforting arm around Venno’s shoulder. 

“It’s alright, that just means you’ll learn for next time” said Dexx. 

Scott chuckled, the Possum demon causing Dexx to now frown. 

“Oh, there will be plenty more, just you wait. I’ve been quite a few with the old boss, so we can only assume that you’ll have to go through maybe the same amount” said Scott, the Possum demon shrugging. 

Slung over Scott’s shoulder was a backpack, the contents most likely being his laptop and the wanted posters for the three Plant demons. Hanging from the side of his backpack, he had his walkie talkie. The Possum demon was also wearing a pair of sunglasses and a baseball cap, the hood of his hoodie having been pulled up despite the fact that he was wearing a hat underneath. 

Venno and Dexx had chosen to just wear what they were already wearing, the two having no time to head home and change. Venno was wearing her black maternity dress with a simple dark red women's blazer while Dexx was wearing his Bounty Hunter uniform. 

Venno quickly shook her head, the Velociraptor demoness hearing the final boarding whistle for the train. 

“Ok, let’s just stop wasting time and go before the train leaves. We should be able to board with no ticket since this is official Bounty Hunter Business” said Venno, the Velociraptor demoness leading the group over to the nearest train car, which happened to be one of the emptiest except for the few denizens sitting in a few random seats.
