A Hellish Situation

Chapter 12: Making New Moves

(Carmine's POV)
"...So...a military, Raven, is trying to kill you?" John said sitting down trying to comprehend of what I told him. "Uh yeah, basically." I said. "Jesus Christ Carmine" John said. "Sorry you are the only person I thought of" I said. "No no it's fine it's fine" I said rubbing his eyes. "You can stay here as long as you want" John said. "Thanks" I said. "Oh shit I just remembered something" Charlie said. "What?" Vaggie said. "My father said to go to this man if I was ever stuck on earth" Charlie said. "Well, where?" I said. "He said the pier and Ace? What pier?" Charlie asked. "Goddammit we were just there!" I said. "Well what does he look like? Where do we find him on the pier?" I said. "I don't know he didn't tell me." Charlie said. "Well that helps us a lot" Angel said sarcastically. "Fucking hell. Ok. Ok it's just the pier it's not that big. We'll find him eventually in no time" I said making Charlie smile. "What's the pier tho?" Charlie said. "You remember that long pier that went out to the bay at the bay?" I said. "Oh you mean the one with all lights?" Charlie said. "Yep. That's the Santa Monica Pier. A amusement park. And it appears we gotta get there" I said in a happy tone trying to get Charlie happy as well. "Well I'm hungry. You guys want pizza?" John said. "Hell yeah!" We all said and Shlonky barked.

(SOMEWHERE ON EARTH)
"Sir. 5 of our soldiers died." The girl said. "WHAT? HOW?" The captain yelled. "1 died in a car crash and the other died from getting hit by a car, 2 two of the soldiers that were going back to the house got shot, another got stabbed, and one got knocked out but is fine now." The girl said. "Who killed them?" The captain asked. "Well most of it appears it was from the guy, Carmine" the girl said. "...he's still alive?" The captain said. "Surprisingly" the girl said. "...huh." The captain said. "The soldier that survived say anything to them?" The captain said. "Yeah all he told them he said was who was after them" the girl said. "Mm can't say that's bad" the captain said. "Well send more out. If Alpha Team-4 doesn't survive or complete this task, I'll have no choice but to send out X4." The captain said. "Captain if you don't mind me saying but do you really think X4 is ready for combat again?" The girl said. "Of course I am. He's always ready" the captain said. "He's always ready" the captain smirked.

THE NEXT DAY
I was driving and arrived at the pier and I parked my car. We got out and looked around. "Well welcome to the Santa Monica Pier" I said. "Well what now?" Angel said. "We look for him I guess, oh I forgot." I said as I went in the trunk and got out 3 white jogger jackets. "Here wear these so people don't freak out" I said. "Ok" they all said. They put all their jackets on and put the hoodies over their heads. "Nice you blend right in. Ok let's go" I said making Shlonky bark. We all walked to the pier. There was kids running around, little stores, and a lot of people. "Now where do we find this dude?" Vaggie said. "Look for something that says ace or something?" I said. "Uh I think I found it" Angel said. We all gathered around where Angel was and looked at the store named Ace's. "Huh that was easy" I said. "Lets go inside" I said. We went inside and looked around. There was a bunch of collectibles, toys, posters, nicknacks, and other stuff. "Hey! Welcome to- oh. You gotta be fucking kidding me" some black man said who was behind the front counter. "You own this store?" I said. "Yeah I do and I'm done with that hell, devil type shit man I'm a changed man my dude." The guy said. "Look dude we need your help I think." I said. "Help with what?" The guy said. "Do you know how to make a portal to hell." I said. "Yeah but why in the fuck would you want a portal to hell" the guy said. "So I can get back" Charlie said taking off her hood. "You look familiar" the guy said. "Well that's cuz I'm the princess of hell" Charlie said. "Oh shit. I'm sorry my bad I didn't know." The guy said. "Don't worry about" Charlie said. "Sorry it's just my father said to me that if I ever get stuck on earth was to find you." Charlie said. "It's good don't worry about it. It's cool he remembered me" The guy said. "So we need your help to get her back." I said. "Yeah yeah of course. But there's a problem" the guy said. "What?" I said. "I need the right stuff to do it." the guy said. "Ok what do you need." I asked. "I need some hell pearls they are these kinda tiny ass red pearls, and some lamb blood and I have the rest of the stuff just get me that stuff" the guy said. "Sure where exactly can I find some of those things?" I said. "Uh, here" the guy said getting a small piece of paper and writing something on it. "Here these are the addresses." The guy said. "The pearls really had to be down in the projects?" I said. "Just try not to get shot" the guy said. "What was your name again?" I said. "Oh it's Ace my man." He said. "Oh you are Ace. Nice to meet you. I'm Carmine." I said. "I'll come back with the stuff." I said. "Be quick about it!" Ace said. "We went back to the car and drove off. "Well where now?" Charlie said. "We are gonna go get some lamb blood baby!...I did not like the way that sounded." I said.
