The one good thing about me working at peter pipers is that its right across my apartment.  The downfall is everything that comes along with it. The kids, the co workers,  the drama. Not to mention i have to do that during the day ,then hunting killers at night.
    I get to work its the same old same old annoying customers, kids being kids, telling kids not to run in the store, then secretly trip them and letting their parents apologize because they think they fell on their own. How i love my job.
The day go by fast me busing tables, and washing dishes, then doing oven and game room ,because we are always understaffed, yet over staffed at the same time. Ugh. Something i never understood.
    Oh well, i get out and quickly go to Ez pawn to cash in my contract. (yes, a pawn shop is where I go to get jobs and news where else would i go?) i walked in waved at one of the store workers and go into the employee only room.
  "hey, Devon your alive and heard about a house on fire so i believe you did ypur job." derek the store owner he's an imp a small little prankster fairy that resemble a small demon with horns. Who has a good taste in small kids suits(yes who else would be in charge of a store that buys and sells other people stuff at high price for it not to work) "well heres your reward" he snickered pushing a brown bag towards me
"so help me derek if this dog shit again im gonna stabbed you" i said reaching for the bag
    "okay ,okay then i see you dont want to joke around then well you get this knife set-"
   "i already got a guy to give me cutlery."
   " ugh fine here's 400$ and my rituals books then. " he said angrily "so what was doing the murders? " he asked
   "the weaver from Greek mythology"
   "WHAT! but ,but do you know why she was here?. " he asked nervously
  "i don't know there was a guy who stabbed me and was the one who burned the house down.  He told me i ruined his recruitment and left me with this mark. " i said lifting up my shirt to show the symbol
    "OH NO" he said running to a shelf and opening a book.
    " that doesn't sound good" i said looking at the book
   " You need to sit down my friend we have a lot to discuss.
