"Are you sure you're ready to go back out there Darlin'?" Dempsey said quietly standing in the doorway of New Model Industries looking down at his heart leaning back on the other side of the doorway. He held her cold hands with his leathered gloved covered hands "I can't lose you again."

"Dempsey...I am your—everyone's enemy. I'm surprised you still love me or want me around." She said softly leaning her head back to look straight in his eyes. "I was supposed to die days ago, I strictly told Richtofen he had to kill me if my..demon..takes over."

"You're not my enemy...you're perfect Love...I'm so happy Richtofen didn't have the balls to kill you I would've gutted that German if he did.."

"I am with The Shadow Man by law Dempsey, we all want to forget that part of me, but it's my reality no matter what dimension Richtofen's demonic book drags me into. I don't want to be one of his minions, it's more tiring than managing the constant fights between you and Richtofen everyday—" she tried to giggle to lighten the mood, though the laugh sounded forced. "..I have mad love for you, Soldier Boy."

"Listen, monster or not, you'll always have a very handsome devil dog by your side to love you forever" he winked at her slightly. Devil Dog is what they call the Marines.

"Oh, smooth soldier boy." She blushed looking at Dempsey raising her hands up to his lips.

"I refuse to lose you, Love." Dempsey said again, his tone is serious and hurt. "I was a mess when you were dead for half a day, it felt like painful and slow years."

". . ."

"Just...just stay with me, or at least be safe and protect yourself whatever happens. Okay?"

"You're my lucky star, Soldier Boy." She said looking at her marine with her sparkling eyes "for you I'll risk it all." Dempsey stared into his favorite eyes to look at, feeling a ache in his beating heart he shook his head leaning forward he lightly laid his gloved hands on the apples of her cheeks and gave her a soft kiss on her lips.

"I love you, Darlin'"

"I love you too, Soldier Boy."

Love is able to walk around now, she did not want to be the burden that cried every time she stood up. She had to suck it up if they wanted to survive and get out of hellcatraz.

"Are you sure you know what you're doing, doc?" Dempsey following Richtofen from upfront asked holding his cigar lighter

"Erm....I hope so?"

"What?" Zia said "you hope so?!"

"Ja."

The group wondered into Michigan Avenue waiting for zombies to show up. The atmosphere is the same as before, except from the hellhound spawns the air is more thick and smokey. Dempsey's lighter is rather very useful right now to see. "Where are we going, German?" Nikolai holding his axe asks
