"This is going to be awkward." Moxxie groans as their face was pressed against the table. Their glasses resting on top of their head.

"Oh, lighten up Mox. I bet she saw it eventually." Millie giggles as she sits down with them to eat her breakfast. "Have you eaten?"

"Not hungry."

"All right grumpy head. Look just tell her. You're going to reassign soon. But you'll still finished this week." Munch into her eggs. Then reach over take a sip of her drink. "Just like we talk about."

"Aka quite."

"Correct." Stood up to put her dishes. Glance over to see they still haven't moved. Walk on over to pat their shoulder. "Come on Mox. It won't be bad."

Silence until a sigh could be heard.

"Would you like me to come if she does for some stupid reason poison you?" Millie asked them. Can't see Ivy do that? One Maria would not like that at all. Two, neither would she, and would bring her wrath down.

"No, no. Plus, you got that hair appointment." Lift their head till their left side of the face is on the table. Somehow the makeup did not come off as he did that.

"Okay if, you're sure."

Moxxie slowly lifts their head up while Millie is getting ready to head out.

It was a situation Moxxie has been thinking about for a while now. The website business has been up for like close to four years now. It was, somehow, doing well online. Plus, we would still be selling material for the Nightshade Café. It'll give him time to put in extra work. Along with his other job on the side in space. It's not like money was an issue either.

Ivy, Millie quite honestly doesn't know how they were able to put so much time in. Even when they put a notice on the website when their 'break'. While also working part time, do clean up, and being able to do a few of their hobbies on the side.

Simple no sleep.

Not like they need to know.

Close their eyes then take a small breath.

All right time to move.

"So, should I say I'm leaving? Quit? Tell me you'll fire me?'' Moxxie asked Ivy as she gave him an amused look.

Come on just say something then that look. Right now, just the two of them in the café.

"Probably one of the other two so your mom won't strangle me."

"But you got vines with thorns around your neck."

"She'll find a way."

"Right her gloves."

Ivy chuckles. She pats his shoulder. "I'll say this you're the best employee I ever had."

"Let's see how long that last till you hire someone else."

"I'm picky who I hire."

"True. You pick me."

They both laughed and talked. Figure out a few things about how he'll usually bring the orders here. How he'll finish up this week of work. Then he heads off. Relax a bit. All right, that wasn't tooo bad at all.

Moxxie phones dings and checks it. It was a photo. Look it over as he let out a hum. Sent a text back

Like the haircut Millie.

Thanks! I love it too! Millie photo shows her once long wild raven hair. Is now a messy bob hair cut style.

Well, it suits you very much.

Thanks Mox!

No, problem Mil-Mil. I told Ivy today.

How it go?

No, tears of fireworks or being poison. So, I think it went well.

Good! Friendship is still there!

You were going to destroy her property if one single tear happens.

No, comment. I'll see you back in a bit!

No, work tonight?

Nope, but I will do tomorrow night.

Want me to cook something or order tonight?

How about some pizza? Give us aka you a break.

Ha ha. Order the pizza, your highness.

I gladly will Fluffy Head! See yeah soon! ^w^.

Moxxie put his phone up as he let out a sigh.

Things been looking up alright. Well, alright as one can be in Hell. Moxxie, Millie friendship grown being roommates. It was a friendship Moxxie wouldn't want to get rid of now. Sure been a few rare awkward moments. Like if Millie brought someone over. Then thrown out the window for being a rude ass.

The rats love it as they drag the 'victim' into the apartment room. The only complaints about that a possible dead body to stink the floor up. So, try to be somewhat careful about that.

Yep, the little jerks still live in there. Along other areas of Pride Moxxie very suspicious about. Then let it be since they don't bother them. Millie on 'hold' getting rid of them. She fine where she staying at with Moxxie.

He was fine with that too. The two spend time together. But also give the other space if they have their own stuff and business to do.

It was enough.

"What you about to go do?" Millie asked Moxxie. She was in her work out outfit. Right now, a bit sweaty after coming back from a run.

"I'm going to go to the range. Want to test out a few things." All ready finished the rest of the orders last night. Along with packaging to be shipped out. Just relax for a bit till I was time to go out to the range.

"Gotcha."

"You going in early tonight?" Recheck what they are carrying.

"Yeah. The manager getting extra bitchy lately when their now ex boy found out they are cheating." She rolled her eyes. Start to stretch as her tail grabbed her belt with her running bag that held her bottle of water, along with dagger. "I'm going to go clean up. I'll see you later."

"You too."

After all good starts to head off. It was a bit of a walk but able to avoid any trouble on the way. Along with short-cuts. The shoot rang was a bit out the city limit from Imp City. Only because of the open land outside the city. The place is all right to Moxxie was it was open, and lack of city atmosphere. Even if it is just behind him once you're out those doors. So Moxxie can't complain unlike many dumps he saw around Pride. Or wasn't allowed in.

Nod their head at the owner who just grunts as he messes with a crossword puzzle. Point at the very end without bothering to look. Knew how they like to be alone from everyone. Along with one of the few that actually clean up their messes.

Arrive at the last stall. Got settled in as he gets ready check. Pulls the Sako TRG 22. Still on safety as stare through the scope to look at the dummies. It'll do. Lower it down to double check. Then prop it on the stand. Took a few breathes as he left the gun back up and stare through the scop

BANG!

BANG!

BANG!

Two chest shots and one head shot at the paper target dummy.

Excellent to anyone else who saw it.

Moxxie tsk and lower the gun down. Too slow when he pulled the trigger. Grab the notebook they laid by them. Wrote a little note what to look. But will give it another shot.

BANG!

Finger about to pull the trigger again. Then their other hand slipped under the sleeves back, out with to pull out a pistol. Arm reach over to the side as the approaching figure was too close.

"Woah! Woah! Put the gun down! I'm not here to jump you! Unless you're into that?"

Moxxie eyes study the imp that was bothering them.

The imp was taller than them. He wore just a black jacket, a white open-up shirt and black tattered jeans. The narrow head. Black and white curved horns. A heart-shaped skull mark that wasn't on his forehead before. A large white mark, sees lots of them, on the right side of his face. Black spines on his back and tail that was now noticeable. A red skull charm wrapped around his neck. A pair of happy yellow sclera with red iris.

About asking if they needed something. Or if they indeed were going to jump them. Until he just started to speak.

"Okay, not much of a talker, are you? I can work with that. Il get you speak in no time. I'm Blitz, the "o" is silent. I'm sure we're going to get along just fine. So, what's your deal? What'd you do? Who'd you diddle? You look like someone good with a gun. You look like someone who could shoot up an office? Want a job? Oh! Can you shoot father than that? Like let's say the targets are in the bed about to do some pretzel looking position and then- "

Moxxie starts to pack up.

"-Hey! I'm not done talking that considered rude. I should know since I can be a rude ass- "Stop with the barrel at their face.

"No."

"Come on! I came down here a lot, and all over, and you great for the job!"

"I said no."

"Well, how about we- "

RING!

RING!

RING!

"Hold that thought." Blitz pulled out their phone. "Ello Loonie! Yes, yes, I'll be over soon! ... I know it's still messy but the furniture is great. A tank of eels! Will be good! I'm just search.... All right on my way Loonie Toonie!"

Moxxie face was covered with a piece of paper.

"I got to go! The future boss got to check the office! If you know anyone else who bad ass ill does an interview! See yeah future employee of the month!" Blitz is already running out.

Look down at what they thought was a job application, pamphlet or even some indication of this business. It was badly crude drawing with horses, what look like the imp, a number and the words that show IMP.

Ready to just throw it away. Maybe post it on that bulletin board? It would kind of show they help out. Whatever this business is that involved well killing. Then he felt their phone vibrate. Pulls it out to see a message from Millie. Wait. How long have they been out here?

That jaded bitch fire me!

Stare at the messages that a was mix of venting. Then about to start a bar fight. Then on to angry emojis. Look back at the paper, to let out a mental groan.

Can't believe they're going to suggest this to Millie. No, wait will suggest to look at it after he get the whiskey. Better get home to get the treats later. Look back at the new emojis.

Make that extra whiskey.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Done!

Twist and turns in every angel!

We got to see the Blitz'o'!

Any questions?

Until next time.

Bye, bye!
