Deadly Shadow

Chapter 4

As the old woman slowly set the food on the table, she smiled. What the hell. How did she know what I wanted? As I slowly looked up from the plate, I asked,

" How did you know?"

"Know what honey?" She replied after a few moments of silence.

I had nothing to say, so I slowly picked up the fork.

As I looked down at the plate, my stomach growled. The aroma overwhelmed me, I had to take a bite, so I raised my fork.

Slowly chewing the food, a feeling of satisfaction came over me. It was the best I've ever had. When I finished, I cleaned up the table because there was syrup everywhere.

After cleaning the mess, I thanked the woman and went to search my bags for the keys. Unable to fulfill my wish of finding my keys, I looked into the black duffle bag I never looked in. It held my weapons including nets, a machine gun to kill any demons, and holy water, blessed by the almighty witch, Ulga.

I picked up my bags, and slowly walked to the door. I slowly reached for the knob and it opened on its own.

"Hello there, sexy lady," said someone. As I looked up, it was Jake, not only my boss, but my biggest crush.
