Chapter 9 - The Caseworker

A/N

It has been months, you and Betelgeuse had been doing quite well, although, through all this time you've wondered where Barb and Adam had gone...and you've really missed them too. One day you woke up to find something...a bit different next to you.

Y/N

As I open my eyes and look beside me, I see an envelope next to me, resting on my bedside table. 'A letter? From who? And why is it right here? Maybe BJ brought it in here?' I think to myself. As I pick up the envelope I notice how old it looks; the envelope looks very clearly worn and old with a sort of sepia tint to it, as well as a red wax seal with the letters "NW" on it. I slowly begin to open it as carefully as possible as I don't want to damage it just in case it's important. As soon as it's open I remove the presumed letter encased within and carefully unfold it. It reads "Dear Y/N,    I'm sure you've wondered where your little friends have been all this time, in fact I know you have. And to answer your question, I've put them to some use, and they aren't allowed to leave for quite some time from now, if ever. They have very valuable information, and I must extract every bit of it from them before I can let them go; but rest assured they are safe and in good hands.    From, Juno."

My eye's begin to well up with tears; this person has them in custody for something that I don't know. And on a side note who exactly is Juno? I call out for BJ, and suddenly he appears behind me with his hands on my hips. "Heya babes, ya needed something?" I nod my head "Yes. I got this letter from someone named Juno and whoev-" He suddenly cuts me off "Wait wait wait...babes...did you just say "Juno"?" I stare at him blankly "Uhhh...yeh why?" He takes a few steps back and begins to pace back and forth, suddenly he turns to me and says sternly. "What does it say?" I hand the letter to him and he begins to skim through it, mumble reading under his breath, suddenly his eyes widen. "Babe, we're going somewhere, right now!" He grabs my arm and then suddenly I find myself with him in a place I've never been before. "Where the fuck are we?!?!?" I scream, as people look at me, people who don't look very...alive.

 "Well, we're in The Land of the Dead. No time to explain further." He walks up to what looks to be some sort of check in counter or something "Hey, I really need you to do me a favor and let me speak to Juno as soon as possible." She stares at him quite clearly annoyed "Listen BJ, I've seen you here so many times it's ridiculous, so please just get lost." He starts tapping his foot "Please, listen I won't bother you anymore but this is really important, see; my friend here really needs to speak with Juno, she received a letter from her." She looks at me then back at BJ "She's alive though, why did she receive a letter from Juno?" He begins to start flailing his arms around wildly clearly getting pissed off. "Okay lady, can you please for the last fucking time let her *points at me* talk to Juno?!?!" She sighs "Ugh fine, but you can't go in with her." He nods his head. The lady gives me instructions on how to get to Juno's office, and so I swiftly go head off to find her.

After what felt like forever I finally reached a door labeled "Juno's office", I knock on the door, and suddenly it opened on it's own. As the door opens I see Barb and Adam sitting there in front of her desk. As soon as they see me, they run up to me and hug me. "Okay break it up you guys, this isn't a family reunion." Juno says with a bitter tone. "Welcome Y/N, it sure took you long enough to get here." I look at her confused "Oh well thanks for the warm welcome, but actually I wouldn't have been able to get here without BJ's help." She looks at me, her eyes widening. "Oh really now...hmm...well you see, I was actually interrogating the Maitland's here on that exact subject matter. You see, me and "BJ" as you call him, have a bit of a vendetta against each other so to speak. He used to work for me actually as my assistant, turns out that he doesn't exactly work well with others. One day he left and decided to be what he calls a "Freelance Bio-Exorcist". However, and thing is, he's bound by a contract." I look at her confused "A contract? What contract? I was told nothing about any of this."

She smirks at me and let's out a small chuckle "Oh? So HE didn't tell you about it? Not surprising...I mean, he really isn't to be trusted. But, to answer your question; The contract is basically a way of keeping him out of the world of the living, or to at least keep him from hurting others and causing mass destruction upon the earth. And the rules of the contract are the following; first, he cannot manifest in his full "Human" form unless his name is called three times, and he is not able to say his own name either, since if he could say it he could simply manifest himself without other peoples help, which as you could imagine is quite dangerous and ineffective; as well as when someone repeats his name 3 times again after he has been manifested in his "Human" form, he shall return back to his normal form of which he is normally stuck in. And second, the only way to break the contract is by marrying someone living. "As soon as she says that my eye's widen, leaving me speechless. "So I've been trying to get your friends here to confess about his whereabouts, and come to find out, he's with you. And you've stupidly enough allowed him to manifest in his "Human" form, and not only that but apparently you've fallen for him? Is that correct?" I stare at her in shock, my throat feeling dry and my body slowly getting hotter. "I-I-I uhhh....well you see...I couldn't really help it, he's just so nice and charming, and I kinda love him...and stuff..." I laugh nervously as a bead of sweat drips down my face.

"So they weren't lying, I suspected such to be true in the first place. Now that you're aware that he could very well be using you just to break his contract, do you still love him? Do you still want to follow through with any plans you two had together?" I look at the floor, tears streaming down my face. "He wouldn't do that to me, I know he really does love me, I can feel it in my heart. Plus he hasn't even asked to marry me yet and we've been together for almost a whole year now; so yes I do intend to keep going on with our relationship." She sighs "So regardless of everything I told you, you still are blind enough to see he doesn't love you? You still want to go on with this false "relationship" as you're calling it? Well I've heard enough to know I can't stop you, Maitland's you can go home now. And you, all I have to say is, don't say I didn't warn you. Granted, I could be wrong, but I highly doubt it because I know him, and he doesn't love, or at least he doesn't anymore. Now, go on home."

I stand up and find my way back to the waiting room where BJ was snoring on a couch. I shake him "BJ, wake up, it's time to go." He wakes up shocked "GET AWAY FROM MY PASTA BITCH!!! I WILL CUT YOU IF YOU GET NEAR MY FUCKING SPAGHETTI!!! Oh, hi babes...sorry, I didn't see ya there." He chuckles as everyone turns and looks at him, he grabs my arm as we teleport back to our house, I just stand there trying not to laugh. 

A/N

As soon as you got back you saw Barb and Adam standing there waiting for you, they ran up to you and hugged the fuck out of you. Betelgeuse felt left out so he joined in on the group hug; you all started laughing at talking and really just having a good time. You helped them to catch up on what had been going on since they had been gone and you realize how much you missed them and how happy you were that they were finally back. After a long time of catching up and playing charades, because why the fuck not? You went to your bedroom and had vigorous sex with Betelgeuse, and it was so loud that Barb and Adam heard it, so they decided to have sex too...And then after all the sex was over, you cuddled Betelgeuse to sleep. Welcome home guys :)
