"Our quota sir, it's low!" The small nerdy demon squeaks as they follow their boss.

"People have been turning to religion lately...worshiping my f-...my fuuhhh" Lucifer dry heaves at the word trying to escape his lips as he clenches the census papers in his muscular fist.
"Father?" Like the speed of sound Lucifer grips the small demon by the throat.
"DONT YOU EVER...don't you ever. He is no father to me. Not anymore." He drops the now trembling demon to the floor and begins to pace back and forth.
"S-s-sir...I don't mean to stress you even more but...word from the archangels is that we only have 3 seals left on the scroll before the apocalypse... our soul count is at an all time lo-AGH" Before the last sentence is finished the poor secretary is launched to the other side of the room.
"THEN WHAT? WHAT DO YOU SUPPOSE WE DO ABOUT THIS?...do you have even the smallest sensical idea in yoUR TINY SKULL? I DO NOT HAVE THE TIME TO REAP SOULS!" Lucifers hand slams against the hard glass table and cracks it.
Just as he's about to rampage, a voice comes from the corridor.
"Damn it's hot as hell in here" a younger man comes in stretching and then with a chuckle proceeds to approach Lucifer.
"Oh cmon you just got that table. We can't keep working our slaves to death on the mansion we will have none for the garden or the torture chambers."
"Teradious.." Lucifer turns to his son. "I haven't got the time for your smart comments, I am in the middle of very important business."
"WAIT SIR!" The secretary exclaims. "HE COULD BE IT! WE COULD SEND HIM!"
"What on earth are you- wait a second... you could be on to something." Lucifer turns back to his son. "Teradious, my son. Walk with me."
He walks his son down the hall. "Now you know that one day you will be the heir to my throne son." He starts.
"Yeah yeah I am aware of this now what tedious task do you want me to do before you continue your pathetic kiss up game Father." Lucifer attempts to use his powers to launch Teradious across the floor but he deflects it near flawlessly only sliding two inches across the floor.
"You're going to have to do better than that Father. After all, you are the one who trained me."
Lucifer sighs and continues walking.
"I need you to go on a mission. This mission is the most important mission there will ever be I can assure you."
"Then what is it?" Teradious drags his feet across the marble floor.
"We have three seals left."
Teradious chokes
"Y-you mean..until the apocalypse?"
"Yes.. and our census here is not where it needs to be for this to be happening right now. We need to collect souls. I sadly don't have the time to do this because of the way business is here."
Teradious Sighs "So you want me to go to earth and collect..."
"Precisely." Lucifer beams "I knew you would understand son"
"Who said I understood you?" Teradious says, folding his arms and leaning back on one leg.
"You won't be alone on this mission. I've called up some colleagues of mine to be your unofficial legion. You will meet with 3 of them tonight and you will be transported to earth and inserted into a family as their child. Yes this does mean the actual child is dead."
Teradious raises an eyebrow. "And about this family? How sinful are they?"
"Athiests who have a gay son, pornography, basically broke every commandment the man upstairs ever made." Lucifer says as he filed his nails and blows on them.
"Mmm delicious.. okay it is settled." He reaches his hand out and shakes hands with his father.
"Then it shall happen tonight"
