Bluey led Blitzø, Moxxie, and Millie through the yard, her tail wagging with unbridled excitement. Bingo, her younger sister, had joined in, her eyes wide with wonder as she listened to Blitzø's exaggerated stories of their "adventures" in Hell.

"So, you really come from a place with lots of fire and big, scary...sinners?" Bingo asked, her voice a mix of fear and fascination.

Blitzø nodded, his grin widening. "Oh yeah, and that's just on a slow day. But don't worry, we can handle anything that comes our way." Biggest lie ever.

Moxxie shot Blitzø a warning glance. "Blitzø, maybe we should tone it down a bit. These are kids, after all."

Millie, meanwhile, was happily playing along, her maternal instincts kicking in. "So, what do you two like to do for fun around here?"

Bluey's eyes sparkled. "We love to play games! We can show you our favorite one called 'Keepy Uppy!' It's so much fun!"

Just as they were about to start, a new voice called out. "Bluey! Bingo! What's going on out here?"

Blitzø turned to see a blue heeler and a red heeler approaching. Bandit and Chilli's faces were a mix of horror and alarm as they took in the sight of the three strangers standing with their children.

"Who are you?" Bandit demanded, his papa bear instincts flaring up as he positioned himself between the newcomers and his daughters. "And why are you talking to our kids?"

Chilli stepped forward, her eyes narrowing. "Bluey, Bingo, are you alright?"

Bluey nodded eagerly. "Yeah, Mum! Dad! These are our new friends! This is Blitzø, Moxxie, and Millie. They're from... um, where did you say you're from again?"

Blitzø took a step forward, holding up his hands in what he hoped was a reassuring gesture. "We're from a place far, far away. We didn't mean to scare anyone. We're just... uh, here on business."

"Business?" Bandit echoed, his eyes narrowing suspiciously. "What kind of business?"

Moxxie sighed, stepping up beside Blitzø. "We're, uh, from Immediate Murder Professionals. It's not as bad as it sounds, I swear. We usually deal with... well, complicated situations."

Chilli's eyes widened in alarm. "Murder? You're here to hurt someone?"

Millie quickly shook her head. "No, no, nothing like that! We're just... exploring new opportunities. Honest!"

Bandit and Chilli exchanged a glance, their concern on high alert. Bandit crossed his arms, clearly unconvinced. "Look, we don't want any trouble. This is a peaceful place. If you're here to cause problems, you can just turn around and go back where you came from."

Blitzø's grin faltered slightly, but he quickly recovered. "Hey, we're not here to cause any trouble. We just ended up here by accident. But now that we're here, maybe we can help each other out. We're good at solving problems."

Chilli placed a protective hand on Bluey's shoulder. "We don't need your kind of help. Just leave our kids alone and go back to wherever it is you came from."

Before Blitzø could respond, Bluey tugged on her mother's arm. "Mum, they're really not bad! They were just telling us stories. Can't they stay for a little bit?"

Bandit sighed, running a hand through her fur. "Bluey, I know you're curious, but sometimes strangers can be dangerous. These... folks don't seem like they belong here."

Blitzø's eyes gleamed with a mix of defiance and charm. "We're not here to cause harm. Maybe we can prove it to you. How about we help out with something? You must have something we can do to show we're not all bad."

Chilli looked hesitant, but Bandit's stern gaze didn't waver. "Alright, but you're on thin ice. One wrong move, and you're out of here."

Blitzø nodded, giving a mock salute. "You got it, boss."

As the tension eased slightly, the group slowly made their way back to the house, the children's chatter filling the air. Blitzø couldn't shake the feeling that this world was going to be a lot more complicated than he initially thought. But if there was one thing he thrived on, it was indeed murder, that is his fucking job.
