Heaven, Hell, and Earth

Chapter 62

"Are you alright?" Angel asked Alastor when the two met up.

"I have a few scrapes and bruises, my back might hurt for while, but shockingly I have no burns." Alastor answered.

"Really? You go inside a building that's completely on fire and you come back with not one burn. How is that possible?"

"I don't know. But now that I think about it, I don't think I've ever been burned. I mean in the past I've had flame related accidents with the oven and on the job but I never sustained any burns."

"Not even when Charlie had her episodes?"

"Not even then. Closest was when she singed off all the clothes on my body, but my skin and hair was perfectly fine."

"Weird."

"I'll make a note to bring this to Solomon's attention at some point."

With that said, the two continued with their mission. Their destination was the museum but unfortunately it was full of people working to remodel the place after the previous damage had been done. They'd be exposing themselves, but they suspected that and brought along hazmat suits to change into. Dressed in full gear, they marched into the lobby, drawing the attention of a lot of workers.

"Suck in the gut Angel, we're supposed to be professionals." Alastor instructed his friend when he noticed everyone staring at them.

When the museum manager saw them, he hastily tossed down his paints and brushes, rushing over to the door in an attempt to stop their entry.

"No! No!" He blurted. "The museum is not yet finished! No one is permitted to enter! You must go! Go!"

"Tight ass alert." Angel whispered to his partner. "Metaphorically and physically. May I?"

"Not yet Angel. We'll see how he responds to the easy way." Alastor answered. "Good day to you sir I am Dr. Radius, and this is my assistant, we work for a company that disposes of toxic waste and we have reason to believe that some may have leaked in from the recent explosion. We would be most grateful if you all would exit the building and allow us to do a sweep."

"No one informed me of this." The manager said.

"We just received the call today and in matters of toxic waste and poison, we must act fast."

"I have seen no trace of toxic waste or poison since the incident."

"Well you're not a trained professional. Now kindly remove yourself and your workers from the premises."

"Not so fast. I'd like to see some evidence of this toxic waste. Show me where it's coming from."

"I'd love to but you are not wearing any proper protection, therefore I cannot."

"Then I can't let you do your little sweep, and I'll have security escort you out."

"I see. I guess this means we'll have to do this the hard way." He turned to his partner. "He's yours Angel, sic him!"

Angel smiled excitedly underhand is mask and quickly approached the manager.

"Well hello there handsome!" He greeted in his most seductive voice and leaned in real close toward the manager. "Forgive my boss here, I would be more than happy to show a devastatingly sexy man like yourself where the leaks are coming from."

The manager took a step back, visibly disturbed by Angel's words.

"Our monitors say that they're in a deep, dark, hole in the ground." Angel was now running his gloved hands up the mangers arms, further scaring him. "Why don't the two of us just go down there and check out? Alone."
