RLD, 10 minutes ago...
??? POV

I was watching, from the roof of a warehouse, the train leaving the station. To think those two would actually get past here, saying i'm quite impressed would be understandable.

Soon, I heard a beeping sound coming from my pocket. I reached inside, pulling out my phone. I put it on speaker, lowering the volume high enough for me to hear it, but quiet enough to avoid eavesdropping. I placed it next to me, putting the binoculars on my face.

???: "What is it?"

???: "what is the situation?" He asked, with a calm voice. I guess he just woke up...

???: "That plan failed. And here I thought the drug would had been enough to get rid of them, but i guess i underestimated their will." I said, lighting up a cigarette. I turned around, looking back at RLD. The 'sun' would be rising soon.

???: "I'm still suprised that you managed to get those. Didn't Asmodeus shutted the production down almost as soon as it started?"

???: "I have my ways of getting what i want. It always comes down to knowing the right people." I said as i took the phone and walked out the door, going down the stairs of the warehouse.

???: "There were still providers?"

???: "Don't worry your head about it, Phegor! They've been disposed off already..." I said as i looked over, reaching the lab. There were demons scattered across the floor.

This might be Hell, but we still have SOME laws, and we make very clear that you get more than a slap in the wrist for breaking them.

Phegor: "Regardless, If the humans survived, that must mean they met up with Asmodeus."

???: "Yeah, about that: They also took her little science project with them- wait a second, hold on" *supressed gunshot* "sorry, I saw one moving..." I apologized, putting the gun away inside my jacket.

Belphegor: "...I'll try to ignore that just now."

After I checked to see if anyone else was still alive, i sit down on one the tables, placing the phone in front of me, before reaching inside my pockets.

Belphegor: "Do you plan on going after them?"

???: "I'll keep a close eye on them, but I won't get TOO involved just yet..." They might have gotten out of RLD, but I'm still unsure if this could make a good hunt.

I pulled a silver coin from my pocket. I tossed it in the air, grabbing it and slamming on the back of my hand. After that, I checked what the result was.

...I guess I'm not joining on the fun just yet. In the meantime, though...

???:"Hey Belphegor. I need you to do me a favor."

Belphegor: "I depends: what kind of favor?"

???: "You were in charge of the reform of the train tracks after The Fly was banished, right? Are the old tracks still there?"

Present time, 3 hours after the train left...
Asmodeus POV

This cannot be happening!... this has to be a joke! I was looking down at a small device. It was tucked away, beneath my desk. Someone must have planted it this morning, while the reunion was happening.

But that wasn't the worse part about it. I saw the yellow light, forming an emblem I knew very well about who it belongs to.
