Helluva Boss: ''Helluva Human Kid''

Ch.40 - Balin's Bad Dream(s)

Meanwhile, it was nightfall by the gang decided to call it their day at the mall.

As they socialised, waiting for Loona and Balin to leave the grocery store, Blitzø approached Neptune and Marijiana as they laughed at some funny social media videos in puppy-like barks.

"Hey there, ladies..." he greeted them awkwardly at first, as usual, but then cleared his throat. "I just gotta say, I was super impressed with your skillsets in the laser-tag game back there."

"Thanks." smiled Neptune in response.

"Hang on, didn't you see you were Loona's dad?" Marijiana then asked. "Before she yelled 'adopted?'"

"Yes, that's me. Blitzø is the name, the O is silent." he extended his hand in friendship to each of them, as confused as they looked. "Anyway, I just wanted to ask, do you two happen to have jobs at the moment or are considering looking for employment, perhaps?"

"Well, we're actually in the middle of college right now." explained Marijiana. "...But I guess the rent of two people living in a dorm is still pretty dicey."

"I see." Blitzø said scratching his chin.

He soon handed the two a business card for IMP, which even though was poorly spelt, had the company logo drawn on it spot-on.

"Well, you see, before you girls freak, I run this company with Loonie and my associates called the Immediate Murder Professionals. What we do is with the help of some... valuable resources, the targets we handle are those on Earth, and..."

"Earth?" interrupted Neptune. With a smile, her puppy eyes widened and her border-collie tail started wagging. "You mean, THE living world?"

"Yep. That's the place." smirked Blitzø. "You see, what we do is..."

As Blitzø started explaining his company's slasher yet fundamental business model, Loona and Balin walked out of the mall carrying their grocery bags and caught up with the rest of the gang.

"What's up with them?" she asked Millie, seeing the three's socialising.

"Looks like he might want some new trainees soon." she said, before pinching Balin's cheek to make him giggle. "And Balin might be seeing his big fans everyday."

"So there, it's not much, but uh... what do ya girls think?" the boss then asked them.

"Well, I've always wanted to see what the living world was like since I was a puppy." Neptune replied.

"We both have babe." said Marijiana. "But..."

"You're slightly against the idea of murdering humans, ain't ya?" finished Blitzø.

"Well I think you two might love it." Balin walked up to the two hounds, who then crouched down to him with warm smiles. "I was told IMP is like a job for superheroes."

"Awww." Moxxie blushed and smiled at the boy's compliment.

"I'm against the killing part too, but it's really fun." the boy then continued.

"You think so, sweetie?"

The two hounds then looked to each other and nodded, thinking the same thing.

"Then yeah." said Neptune. "We can consider."

"Ha ha! Splendid!" cheered Blitzø.

As he celebrated, Loona walked up to Neptune and Marijiana with an eye-roll and said: "He's always like this."

Before long, she grabbed out her phone and airdropped her number to theirs.

"If you do end up considering, hit me up." she explained further. "I'm the receptionist."
