The Hellhound Nextdoor (A Helluva Boss Romance story)

Chapter 26: A Quick Drive to Stolas

As Trent was riding shotgun in the I.M.P. van, with Millie and Moxxie in the backseat and Blitzø driving, M&M was playing back what Trent told them, "So," said Moxxie, "You are a hybrid of some mythical sub-race of Hellhound and the legendary Hounds of God? Am I getting this right?" Trent nodded, and Millie scoffed, "That explains why you didn't become a skidmark the first day we met." Trent and Blitzø didn't say a word to each other after Blitzø went and called Stolas for Trent. Tension was still high for them.

"Look, I know I'm asking a lot out of you two," Trent started, "But if you want, Blitzø will pull over and let you two out of the van, this is my fight, and Blitzø already said he has to fight" for Loona's memory." A few seconds passed, Trent was certain that they would ask, even beg for the van to stop, but instead, he felt a gentle hand on his shoulder, as Millie defiantly said, "Nah uh, we are in this together! Like the Three Musket-Queers!" Joining Millie's hand was Moxxie's, who was equally as defiant as Millie, "It's Musketeers, not Musket-Queers, but other than that, I second that Trent, you mess with one of us, you get all of us!"

Trent smiled a little, all of them was willing to fight for him... For Loona. "Thanks guys, it means a lot to me." He looked to Blitzø, but he noticed Blitzø was staring at the road, gripping the wheel tighter, "S-She would be so proud, wouldn't she Trent." Trent sighed, he new Blitzø ment Loona, but the tears in Blitzø's eyes wasn't from rage, but grief. But when Trent placed a gentle hand on Blitzø's shoulder, he felt him stiffen, afraid almost, "I lost her too Blitzø, but we will let her soul have peace by punishing those who hurt her."

Blitzø sighed and kept driving, and after 45 minutes, the four made it to the Goetia Palace.
