It was nightfall by the time the gang decided to call it a day.

As Balin and Loona were still doing their grocery shopping, the entire gang of Bee and Tex, and the three imps, and Marijiana & Neptune walked out of the mall socialising and laughing. 

Blitzø meanwhile approached the two hellhound girls as they were laughing at funny videos on social media.

"Hey there ladies..." he greeted them awkwardly at first, but then he cleared his throat and got a better hang of it. "I gotta say, I was honestly super impressed with your skillsets in that laser tag game back there."

"Oh, well, thank you." Marijiana said. "Hang on, didn't you say you were Loona's dad? Before she screamed 'adopted?'" Neptune asked him next.

"Well, yes, Blitzø's the name, the O is silent." he extended his hand in friendship. "What O?" the two hellhounds tilted both their heads in confusion. "Yeah, I know." he replied before circling back to the conversation. "Anyway, I just wanted to ask, do you two have jobs at the moment or are considering employment perhaps?"

"Well, we're actually in the middle of college at the moment." Marijiana replied. "But I guess, two people living together nearby, the rent is still pretty dicey."

"I see." Blitzø scratched his chin. "Well, I run this assassination business with Loonie and my associates called the Immediate Murder Professionals." he handed them his business card, which even though was still poorly spelt, had the company logo spot on.

"Before you girls freak at the title, just hear me out." he continued. "What we do is with the help of... some very valuable resources, we handle our targets in Earth, and..."

"Earth?" Neptune interrupted him, as her puppy eyes widened and her fluffy border-collie tail started wagging. "You mean, THE living realm?" she then got a smile.

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

As Blitzø started explaining how the crew operate I.M.P by killing targets their clients would want dead as revenge for being screwed over in their human lives, Loona and Balin walked out of the mall with their shopping bags and caught up with the rest of the gang.

"What's up with them?" she asked Millie. "Looks like Blitzø wants to recruit some new trainees. ...And Balin might be seeing his biggest fans everyday." she said pinching Balin's cheek to make him giggle.

"So, it's not much, but uh... what do you girls think?" the boss 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." added Marijiana. "But..."

"You're slightly against the idea of murdering humans, aren't you?" Blitzø finished for them, as they both nodded slowly.

"Well I think you two would love it." Balin said to his two new demon friends. "I was told I.M.P is like a job for superheroes."

"You think so, kiddo?" asked Marijiana. "Yep. I'm against the killing part too, but it's really fun." "Awww." Moxxie awed at the boy's compliments.

Marijiana and Neptune looked at each other thinking the same thing. "Then, yeah." "We can consider."

"Ha-Ha! YEAH! SPLENDID!" cheered Blitzø. As he was celebrating, Loona walked up to them with an eye-roll and said; "He's always like this. Anywho, if you two do end up considering, hit me up. I'm the receptionist." Loona air-dropped her number from her phone to both Neptune AND Marijiana's phones and gave them a wink. "Will do." they both said.

"But for now though, I think it's about dang time this little guy went to bed." Loona picked up the boy in her arms, who was right now yawning and trying to keep his eyelids from shutting. "Tex, can you take our bags to the van?" she asked Tex as she started walking to the I.M.P van.
