Helluva Boss: I.M.P'S Newest Employees (18+)

3. Fight For Love

One morning, Loona's foot was hurting like never before. She had to limp everyday and was stuck behind a desk or in a chair. "Loonie, I think we have to get you to the... Doctor for Hellhounds." Blitz said one morning at the office. "What?!?" She was stunned with fear knowing what happened last time she was at the vet's office. "Now listen, I know you hate the guy, but don't worry, because DeeDee, you are coming with me!" The I.M.P manager replied, DeeDee shooting a glare at him. "The fuck you mean I'm going with?! I ain't never had to-" Blitz grabbed his snout and pulled him aside. "Listen, just sit in the back and keep her calm, that's all you'll need to do and then you are free to go." He said, "Wait, what if I took her, you did say we were a team after all, and Rhys needs a partner on this trip." DeeDee said after a little thinking. Blitz looked over at Rhys, who was starting to think about something. "You got a car?" He asked the Hellhound, "No sir!" He replied, "Though I do have my license!" "WHOO HOO HOO HOO HOO!" DeeDee laughed as the two hellhounds sped down the road. "I don't get why you're so happy! We're going to... to... the vet." Loona pouted. "Because I can't legally drive! Also, I get to hang out with someone that... that um, ya know, isn't like me. Rhys is the best person in hell, don't get me wrong, just, I don't really have any friends besides him, and then I met you guys, you were different from all the people I worked with before, you all cared for me." The hellhound replied. "Wait, you what?!?" She replied as she looked over. "Yeah, well, unless you have your license." "Oh, well why can't you- I'm getting off topic, you don't have friends?" The gothic hellhound questioned. "Besides you guys, yeah. I do go out and party, but I give out my number to guys and girls, but no one cares. So I smoke weed at these parties, I drink whiskey, I get high off perks and lean, but that's not me, not the me I wanna be." He said as he then saw the Veterans office. A few minutes later, they pulled into a parking lot, the vets office loomed over them. Before they went in, DeeDee grabbed her hand, "Hey, if you wanna hold my hand, you can, I want you to feel safe." Loona looked at him, nodded, and got out of the car. As they walked towards the doors, Loona tried to look at her phone, but she couldn't, and then she looked next to DeeDee, staring at her hand. "No! I mustn't, it's gonna be embarrassing!" She thought to herself. But then she looked at DeeDee again, and noticed how shaky he was, but he looked straight along as he walked to the door. "So you're scared too?" She asked him. "No, no, umm, oh boy! It's cold, you feel that breeze?" He chuckled nervously. She then walked closer to him, grabbing his hand and squeezing it tightly. "Not so scared now, huh?" Asked DeeDee as he began to loosen up. "You know, yeah, I am." Loona said as they walked in.

Loona was laid down flat in on a table, and the vet looked her over. "Well the good news is it isn't infected, but the bad news is that you need to be in bed rest for two days, and someone should stay with you as you'll be unable to get up and out." He said finally. "I presume your boyfriend here is going to be-" "Oh I'm not her boyfriend sir! I'm her friend." DeeDee cut in. "Oh, why I thought you two were very cute together, holding hands and all, but anyways, you should remain here with her so she won't be so scared. Also take these starting tonight, it will help with the healing." The vet said as he handed her a bottle of pills, "Now then, we will get someone to help escort you to the care room, don't worry now, I'll only be a bit."  He then walked out to find someone that would help. "So... are you single?"  Loona asked him. "Why- um, I mean, yeah, I'm just, well, by most of the people I meet, I'm not their standard. What about you?" He responded. "Yeah, me too." When they got in the room, they were told there was another patient in the room, and seeing as care rooms were part of a normal hospital, an Imp was in the other bed. He was being treated for a gun shot wound. "He was in last night's shooting, one of, 'The Mentals' he says he took out all twenty but we looked into his background and he's safe, also there really aren't any rooms to go into." The vet explained. "Right, we won't be too rowdy." DeeDee laughed. He sat in the chair next to Loona, the news was on. They listened until the news spoke about the gang fights. "Tonight, three more people found dead, stuffed in an alleyway next to a sign that says, 'The Hellhound is next' The identity of these people are unknown." She said as it switched to the weather. "You don't think it might have been the guys, right?" Loona asked. "No, Rhys just texted me a photo of them on a mission, look, see?" He said as he showed her a photo of Rhys holding the phone with a big smile on his face, Blitz throwing a propane tank at some women, and Moxxie and Millie Making out on the side of the photo with a caption that read: "Wish you guys were here!" Loona giggled at the photos, "Well I hope those fuckheads are having fun." "Yeah, I bet they are." DeeDee said. "Alright, call me if you need anything." He began to walk out. "Wait, I don't have your phone number!" Loona said, "Oh, here." He said as he gave her a pre written sticky note. "Thanks." She said as DeeDee walked out, "I'll be back in a few."
