"Alright, what do we need to know about Lucifer's play?" Lute asked Adam across the kitchen table. "That way we can get the ultimate revenge." They both had their laptops out for stalking. They had their notebooks for written plans, and of course, they had snacks.

Adam had Lucifer's play website and social media pulled up. It appeared to be about a hotel in hell that rehabilitated sinners. It sounded absurd and blasphemous to Adam. "From what I'm gathering, the play takes place in hell and they rehabilitate sinners."

Lute's face scrunched up in disgust. "That's so disgusting. Sinners can't be rehabilitated; they're in hell for a reason." Lute couldn't wrap her head around the odd concept.

"We need the script so I can get an idea of how to destroy the play. Maybe we can sneak into the theater beforehand and get some ideas." Adam was a little lost on what to do. This was going to be a huge task. He and Lute could also not get caught.

"We should put laxatives in their drinks," Lute wrote some notes down.

"Hmm, I don't know. We need the play to have accidents, not them. That way, Lucifer looks like he doesn't have his shit together. He needs to look incompetent for Broadway." Adam knew this was no time for juvenile pranks.

"Fair point." Lute quit writing. "Let's sneak into the theater tonight. I have my lock-picking kit." Lute had been itching to use it. She had purchased it a few weeks ago, knowing it would come in handy.

Of course she does. Adam thought to himself. Lute was always prepared for anything.

The day flew by, and they were now out back at the theater building. It was a community building repurposed into a theatre. The schools would use it for plays, and citizens of the city could rent it out. "Hurry up, Lute, I don't wanna get caught." Adam kept glancing around. It was 9 pm, and the city was dead still. Adam didn't want to risk it.

"Shut up," Lute grumbled. She kept tinkering with the lock. After a few clicking noises, Lute slowly opened the door. "Got it." Lute stood up and walked in.

"Thank god." Adam followed behind her. It was pitch black when they entered. Once again, Lute was prepared, and she turned on her industrial flashlight.

"Ready?" She shone the light onto Adam.

"Get that out of my face." He swiped at her. "You could light up a stadium with that flashlight."

Lute set the flashlight down in the middle of the backstage area. "That's the point." Lute walked around trying to find anything to tamper with.

Adam found a table with some papers. "Found the script." Adam flipped it open and started to read aloud. "Sinners should be redeemed!" Adam acted all dramatic. "They're innocent souls who don't deserve to be eradicated." He said mockingly.

"Eww, you're making me sick, sir." Lute walked up to Adam. She took a script off the table. She read some of the character bios. "Adam." She was now quiet.

"What?" he was now concerned.

"I think your brother put us in his little self-insert fanfic." Lute was surprised, but after reading the character bios, she knew it had to be her and Adam.

"Read it aloud," Adam demanded her. "I need to know."

"The head exorcist is named Dante." Lute kept reading. "He is in charge of keeping hell's population under control, when in reality, he just likes killing for fun. He's a womanizer and is the reason his first two wives are in hell. He is worse than any of the sinners in hell and is the reason heaven is corrupt." Lute thought it was ridiculous how Luicfer was writing a fanfic on Dante's Inferno when that was already a fanfic. Lute moved on to her character. "His 'sidekick' is named Beatrice. She's a moody bitch who will do anything for Dante." Lute rolled her eyes. "This is so stupid." She threw the script on the table. "I am no one's sidekick." She mumbled.
