Chapter Ten
“Didn’t think you would actually come,” Satan smirks. He’s leaning against someone’s grave in his human disguise.
“Liar. That’s why you’re here,” Devi growls.
“Are you all ready to go then?” he asks.
“Yeah, let’s get going already,” Johnny demands.
“Calm down, Johnny boy,” Satan sings and looks down at Squee, “and you’re going to?”
“I wanna go,” Squee mutters.
“Do you now? How brave,” he comments, “very well. Follow me.”
The four of them follow Satan towards the church. He stops short, just in front of the steps. “Go inside and look for the basement. There’s a door there that will lead you underground. I will meet you there.”
“You can’t go inside?” Tenna asks.
“God may be useless, but his holy grounds are not,” he replies.
“Okay, let’s go quickly, before Johnny bursts into flames,” Devi demands as she trots up the steps. Tenna giggles and follows after her. Squee is close behind. Johnny rolls his eyes at Devi’s joke, but is still a little cautious as he enters the church. Satan disappears into dark flames behind them.
“Which way is the basement?” Tenna asks as they enter the dark church.
“I don’t know. Let’s try this door,” Devi suggests and opens a nearby door. Behind it is a staircase, but they go up instead of down.
“Over here,” Squee says as he points into another doorway. The crew quickly runs over to him and peeks down the staircase. They see nothing but darkness.
“That’s not intimidating at all,” Tenna comments.
“Yeah… you guys can go first,” Squee mumbles as he steps aside. Johnny shrugs and marches past them and down the stairs. Devi, Tenna, and Squee follow close behind. It doesn’t take them long to reach the bottom floor.
“Damn, it’s dark down here. Where’s a light?” Devi asks as she feels along the wall.
“Oh, here,” Tenna exclaims and flips the switch. A flickering light turns on, revealing bibles, wooden crosses, tables, and loads of dust.
“I feel very uncomfortable here,” Johnny comments, “I think I’m gonna blow this place up later.”
“Of course you will. Fire is how the devil always punishes people,” Devi mutters.
“Oh, please don’t compare me to him,” Johnny groans.
“I wouldn’t ever do that,” Devi exclaims, “the devil is ten times better than you.”
“Guys, shut up,” Tenna snaps, “I found the door. It’s behind this shelf.”
“Great. Let’s move it,” Devi demands. The girls grab both ends and try to push it over, but it doesn’t budge.
“Jeez. Move over,” Johnny snaps at Tenna. He grabs the side of the shelf and knocks it down, causing dusty bibles to fly all over the room.
“God, can’t you show even a little respect?” Devi barks.
“Me? You’re the one using the so-called ‘Lord’s’ name in vain,” Johnny retorts.
“Would you two stop arguing for two seconds?” Tenna snaps, “this door has no knob.”
