I get up, and I start to walk back to Lucifer to get him to send me to the real world. I stand in front of him and he asks me." What do you need from me, more weapons, more time?" He asks.
" I need you to send me back." I say.
" What."
" I have an idea on how to beat him."
" How?"
" I'm gonna use Nina as leverage so I can get him to give himself over to me, and I can kill him."
" That, is the worst Goddamn plan I have ever heard in the thirteen billion years I've been alive."
" Okay, maybe, what do you think I should do?"
" I don't know, how about focusing on anyone else on the damn list."
" Well you shouldn't have told me his whole damn backstory then."
" I didn't make you do shit."
" Just send me back!" I shout.
He steps off of the throne, and slowly steps down. He smacks me in the face a as I fall back, reality warps and I fall into the doors of some kind of restaurant. One of the waiters runs over to me and helps me up, and I can see all the patrons are scared as hell.
" Are you okay sir?" He asks.
" Yeah, I'm totally fine." I say back.
" There's a shard of glass in your back."
" No shit Sherlock."
" Sir there are children here."
I look him in the eyes.
" Does it look like I give a singular shit."
" Sir, I'm going to have to ask you to leave, do you want me to call an ambulance?"
" Nah, I'm good."
I walk out of the place and I steal the first car I find, it's a minivan, like mine except it's a deep navy blue. I get in, jumpstart the car and drive off, and I take out the list. I tap on the name Aeron Quill and the compass points north, so I make my way down town, driving fast, faces past, and I'm home bound. I arrive at another restaurant, probably not from the same chain I came from. I walk in the doors and I see them, Aeron and Nina getting some food and laughing with the cashier. Suddenly there's a flash of white and, I can't remember anything. I'm in some kind of restaurant, and I don't know why. I go up to the cashier and ask some questions.
" Did I order a table?" I ask.
" No, you just walked in." He says.
A man with a black, gold, and silver robotic arm turns his head to me and raises his brow. His robotic arm is interesting, it's almost all black, but where the wrist vein would be is gold, and his shoulder is silver. It's all coupled in with metallic accents here and there. The kinda tall white woman next him, who I assume is his girlfriend is wearing a fitted black dress, and I see her slip her hand around part of the skirt and I see the barrel of a glock, but he lays his finger on her smooth hand, and she puts it back.
" Cole." He says.
" Who are you?" I ask.
" You don't remember me?"
" Or me?" The girl interjects.
I look them both up and down but I just cannot seem to recognize them, I don't know them.
" No." I say.
" How the fuck?" The girl whispers to herself.
" What's your guys names?" I ask.
" Nina." She says.
" Aeron." He says.
" I don't know anybody named that."
" That's strange, you came here for us but you can't remember us." Aeron says.
" I came here for you guys?" I ask.
" Obviously." Nina responds.
" Well, I gotta go do some shit anyway, so yeah." I say.
I awkwardly walk out of the restaurant and try to ignore that whole situation. I get in what I think is my minivan, and I drive away, and I bring out my compass, and it's pointing forward, so I follow it until it points to one guy in a business suit, pinstripe and long black hair. The suit is blue and new, and his hair is combed behind his ears. It's kinda spiraled back and he’s walking down the street looking at a newspaper, so I park and start following him, but he might notice me, so I match my footsteps in with his. He turns around and reaches his hand out for a handshake.
" Hello Cole, nice to finally meet you." He says in an American accent, but more smooth, and calm.
" What?" I question.
" Sorry, I didn't introduce myself properly. My name is Kai, Kai Yojun."
" How did you know my name?" I ask.
" I know everything about you Cole, your run in with Luci, why you're following me, your powers, your family."
I refuse to shake his hand and he lowers it to his pocket.
" Rude." He says.
There's a bit of a crowd surrounding us and walking past us, but he snaps his fingers, and they all stop and stare me down.
" Isn't it great, all the things money can buy." He says.
Four guys come up from behind me and grab my arms, but they're just enough to keep me down, he waves and smirks as he gets in a red lambo and drives off and the people let go of me and they walk away, along with the crowd.
" The fuck was that?" I say to myself.
I get back in my minivan but the Lamborghini is already gone, so I kinda sit in my car and slam the damn steering wheel. I know his name now, so I can find him even easier. I take out the paper and tap on the name Kai Yojun. I follow the way and I'm taken to an enormous mansion, it's white and has multiple visible floors. I get out and I step up to the door and I hear a click, so so hide back away from the door, and I kick it down, but something else triggers.
