"Exactly whose bright idea it was to disguise Millie as a deer!?" Moxxie berated the group while adjusting the cast on his wife's newly shattered arm. She had a look on her face like she didn't even feel the pain in the bone. She was just stifling her amused laughter at seeing Blitzø mockingly lip syncing what her husband was saying. She was still wearing the deer costume, except this time it was stained in human blood.
"All she needed to do was hide under the pelt and shoot the poison dart at the target...it's really simple." Loona said, never looking up from her new phone. "Not my fault she attracted unwanted attention." Moxxie scowled at the hellhound.
"She was in the woods! In hunting season!!" The Imp screamed. Millie placed her good hand on her husband's shoulder.
"Sweetie calm down" She tried calming him. "It's not that big a deal, I'm fine aren't I?" Moxxie sighed.
"When's Blitzø supposed to get back, again?" He asked. Loona glared at him again.
"Taking care of the job neither of you can finish." The hound mumbled.
Suddenly the window behind Moxxie' seat burst open, glass flying everywhere and knocking Moxxie's chair over. Blitzø landed with a thud on the large table covered in blood and holding the head of a grown human male.
"Hey Mills" Blitzø happily greeted Millie. "How's the arm?" She smiled and stated it was nothing that won't heal, appreciating her boss's concern. The taller Imp held the severed head up for the group to see.
"Good thing I always got a backup plan for these things" He said. Loona stared at the head for a second before going back to her phone.
"What'd this guy do anyway?" Millie asked. Blitzø was about to answer before he was interrupted by Loona.
"Sex offender of 40 years and he was a human trafficker back in the 1940s" She stated. "Whoever hired us was one of his victims and she wanted revenge for murdering her and her sister."
The Imps (including Moxxie) stared at her as if she was speaking a whole different language of curses.
"What?"
"Since when do you actually look into what the clients have against the targets?" Moxxie asked, shocked. Loona immediately took offense.
"Since when do you wear a bow tie that's bigger than your d&#%!?" She shouted. Moxxie growled and was about to say something else but Blitzø stopped him.
"Guys come on that's enough" the boss said. "Loonie, how about you go out and blow off some steam? Moxxie you sit there and center yourself, got it?" Loona growled and got up from her seat, flipping Moxxie off as she left. Millie patted Her husband on the back and whispering in his ear to calm him down.

Loona stalked through the streets, kicking strangers and punching windows in. She didn't care if she was bleeding or how much the property and assault damages it would cost.
Stupid Moxxie! Always sparking her anger when he can obviously tell she was tense. She didn't even know why she lashed out like that. Understandably he was simply asking her something that shouldn't have triggered her.
The hellhound pulled out her new phone and turned it on. Her begrudged expression began to slightly soften when she once again saw the heartwarming photo on her lock screen. Then she remembered what Blitzø said:"You know I love you right?" The imp continued. Loona nodded. "This picture always reminds me of that, no matter how crazy you get."
What was wrong with her? Loona had been moodier than usual this past year (not that anyone noticed a change, of course). But Loona had noticed and she had to get it back under control before she ended up doing something she knew she'd regret.
She decided to begin taking deep breaths to calm herself down. It was a technique that Blitzø taught her when he first began to notice her behavior. She had never used it before because she thought it was stupid and pathetic, but now maybe she should at least try it while she played this weird dating game. It was like a ghost detector except it detects your "newest sweetheart". Bullshit, Loona knew this but she had nothing better to do right now so she gave it a shot.
The beam actually led her to multiple turns and crannies as if it was actually taking her somewhere. When the pink beam said in a female voice: "Darling Detected...!" While pointing at a brick wall, Loona growled angrily and turned around about to delete the app when—Crash!!
Loona had crashed into a strange looking demon girl wearing a green dress and a purple masquerade mask. Loona suddenly felt hooked to the sight of this girl..."darling detected" indeed.
