Deven's POV

"You've got to be shittin' me!" I yelled slamming my fist into the table making it rattle.

The president of Japan is wanting a special military branch of Divine Beings and he's asking us to provide them to him.

In the past year, Japan has been under pressure from western countries to side with them. We've remained a neutral trading country for both sides of this world war but it seems as though were being dragged into it slowly, but surely.

I leaned back in my desk chair, lighting a cigarette. "I'm getting to old for this crap."

It's been 6 whole years since Lucas was taken by the Arc Angels, almost 7. In that time, the Anderson's estate grew triple in size. Buildings have been placed on the land for housing other Divine Beings that we've rescued or bought.

TAI has been with drawled only 2 moths after Lucas left. The team could no longer function. Especially with Lucifer not in play anymore and lastly... there's the young master.

For a week he didn't eat, sleep or leave his room and when he finally did come out, it was like looking at an empty shell.

Years slipped by and he slowly returned to his former self. Now that he's older, he drowns himself in his work. Saving Divine Beings and advertising his cause.

Now he's 17 almost 18, and already he's paving his own path.. No he did that long ago.

I smiled at my reminiscences. "Hey you wash out excuses as a guard dog!" My eye twitched in annoyance.

"What was that you useless one winged demon?!" I barked. Lucifer strutted in, anger clearly evident on his face.

"Tell me, why isn't the manny watching over the rich kid?" He leaned over my desk barring his teeth.

"What the hells that suppose to mean?" I blew smoke in his face, he straightened himself glaring at me with sinister blood thirsty eyes. I've grown acustomed to it in all these years.

"You're suppose to be fucking watchin' the kid!" He roared.

"Huh, he's in his room taking a shower."

"Is that so. He must be fucking invisible then and only you can see him because when Hael went to check on him, he wasn't there."

I face palmed myself. "Ugh... did he run away again?" I sighed rubbing my temples.

"Why ask me when you already know the damn answer." I got up and grabbed a set of keys to an SUV. "I already sent Jin and 3 other demons to search for him."

"Thanks." I said walking out the office and down the stairs. On my way however, a group of angels flew overhead almost knocking me down,"hey, what have you been told about flying in the house!"

One of them, around 9 years old, turned and hovered in front of me. "Yeah, yeah.. What are you going to do about it old man?"

"You want a foot in your ass?" Lucifer threatened making the angels face pale. I chuckled but turned when I heard Israfel behind me, "you must remember that this is not your house. You are a guest here and must show respect to the people that protect you. You are not some demon that can do as he pleases." She glared at Lucifer, her features softening when he turned and walked to the door. I knew she felt sorry for the demon because he cannot fly until his wing is to grow back. He once he told us that it could take a couple hundred years for that to happen because Nicholas called a curse on him when he ripped his wing off. In order for it to grow, he'd have to wait a very long time, or kill Nicholas. It was looking gloomy for him.
