A month has passed on another day in Hell itself.

Sure, while in Pride it is hectic as it's now five months away from doom that should be normal by now.

Everyone else, including the other rings, goes about their day. Which can be chaotic in its own way like Pride. Their own issues. After all, got bills to pay. Business to run. Heirachy nobles to despise as they show off. There are business contracts with other rings too to get shipment supplies. Even if you're a Hellborn, Goetia nobles that live and work in Pride just got to keep going.

They have to worry about their life 24/7. This isn't their issue. This isn't their problem. Well, as long you're not stuck here on that day.

Even for sinners they really can't lose it. Got to have some kind of routine back in place. Control. Gotta pays for annoying bills, stuff they want, fun, drugs, business to run, hookups, or exchange souls as a last-minute deal. Just got to survive like before even if it is a little rougher than usual.

The tower doesn't help to remind you of a closer countdown towards your doom.

Anyways!

Let's see how our current IMP business is doing on this grand day as they are quite busy at the moment. Busy, but still having enough time to put in a, unwanted, phone call.

"No."

"Moxxie please! I'm begging on my knees here!"

"Only because you're taking cover on the job." Moxxie not phase while they were putting the piece together on the mannequin. Phone on speaker on the table. Glasses were on at the moment. What? They actually don't mind wearing them while they work.

"Are you a mind reader?"

"Lucky guess."

A photo shown on the phone of the notification that Millie sent.

"Creepy but hey can't judge."

"You pick it up."

"But Mox I can't go tomorrow! We're booked the team needs me to lead in badass style! Hold on a second. Millie to your left tit!"

"I see them B!"

"Awesome girl! Back on my emergency."

"No."

"Moxxie they already sent me reminders and notifications they'll throw it away if I don't get it!"

"How cruel for giving you so many warnings." Took a step back while walking around the outfit.

It was off the shoulder crop top with a bell like sleeve style. The look with the coloring almost gives you a mix of underwater vibe but also sorcery with the designs hidden in. Were very clear with what kind of designs hidden like it was underwater. It's was coming along well. Same with the shorts with a over skirt to give it a similar vibe.

"I don't ask for much."

"That's funny."

"I know I am stop bragging about me. Just can you do this for me?"

"If I continued to say no?"

"Shit I didn't get this far."

BANG!

"IM IN THE MIDDLE CONVERSATION YOU RUDE ASS! Seriously no respect anywhere. Living or dead."

"I'm going to hang-up."

"Wait! Just ill um. Buy you chocolate?"

"..."

"Five chocolate bars?"

"..."

Next, I will raise the chocolate bar price to 12 quantities.

BOOM!

BANG!

BANG!

"You fuckers!"

"How are you all terrible at this?"

"Want me to shoot you again?"

"Shoot them!"

BANG!

BANG!

BANG!"

"You shot me."

"I was aiming for the little shit!"

"Well, you suck at it! Do I look like a pipsqueak wearing a scarf?"

"I'm sorry!"

Moxxie kept running while all this arguing was happening. Along with holding the suitcase. It wasn't even their suitcase. They only came to pick up the package.

In the blasted Greed Ring!

Blitz needs to stop ordering stuff here to be picked up.

Everything was fine this morning.

Did what they needed to do. Striker was still going to be out for a while. Went to the elevator. This time they had to use a taxi to get to the destination area to pick up the package. Drop off. Then the taxi zoomed away after paying. Got inside to pick up Blitz package getting a nasty look. Didn't think too much about it besides giving Blitz a heads up to not order here again. Put the package inside his jacket for the time being. Left to find another taxi or spot with no eyes to open a portal.

That's when the mess happens that they walk into by accident. 

It was a standoff. One rival team pissed against another team. Really Moxxie wasn't paying attention. Even with all the gun firing. It was really normal to see in the part of Greed. Expect all this was over a briefcase that got stolen. The other rival group was pissed as they were planning to grab that suitcase too. Some point during the fight the briefcase got thrown in the air.

That landed right in Moxxie arms.

The imp was very confused why they were holding a briefcase. They were on the other side of the raid when all this was happening. Lift their head up to see many guns in every direction pointed at them. Yells, threats and lots of yells to put the briefcase down.

Logically they could have done that.

But another part of them knew they would just get shot no matter what.

So, they ran.

Ran and being chased by these demons. Can't even tell you what part of Greed they are in as they have been running for a while now. Of, course it didn't make it easy for them. Either going through alleyways, kicking trashcans, ran in another street and some got hit by another rival team car.

It was hectic.

It was stupid.

They need to get rid of this suitcase. Why are they even still holding it?

"Where they go?"

"You take that side. I go this way!"

Did the only thing they could think of on the spot.

Jump in a window that was open.

Well, it works. As the demons ran past by.

Just a little problem.

CLICK!

"Lost a lot of brain cells to jump in someone home."

"I lost them a long time ago." Look up to the demon holding a gun. She was holding a double action revolver. Then look at her eyes watching them closely along with a look she will shoot. Then her eyebrow raised up.

"Wait a minute. I saw you before?"

"I haven't saw you before?" Stare at the woman who just 'tsk' at them. What is true? They don't know this demon. At least they don't think so.

"You were at the 20th Luck a few weeks ago."

"The Luck? Oh, that place." Stare at her a little longer. The hybrid began to look a little familiar until looking at the expression. It clicks. "You're the lady who was ready tearing into that guy."

"That's all you can remember?"

Tilt their head. "Dragon lady?"

A tick mark appeared on her head. "Dragon lady? Seriously? Do I look like I can breathe fire?"

"Is that a trick question?"

"You damn brat!" Cartoon vision appearing of her 'breathing fire' calling them that.

"Yep."

Soon calms down. "It's Lola."

"I didn't ask."

She stared and let out a snort. "Fair. So, why are you in my home? I hate to tell you this. If you here to steal good luck all the stuff that worth anything is gone."

Confused but notice boxes around. "Moving in?"

"Moving out." Still held the gun at them. "What with the suitcase?"

"Would you believe me it's not mine and many trying to kill me for it?"

"Why didn't you drop it?"

"Still would be chasing me."

"Smart. Many don't like to keep witnesses around unless their useful."

"You want it?"

"No."

"Fine I'll go toss it at one of those toxic waste sites."

"Don't want it?"

"Pass."

"Either smart or stupid on your part."

"Been called worse." Stare to see she still had the gun pointed at them.

"But there is something I want."

"Money?"

"No." Eyes look down at them seriously. "That picture that you took from the office."

"The guy said I could, have it?"

"I want it. He shouldn't have let you take it." A tone of bitter disgust.

Startle at the tone she was throwing at them. Along with what they're asking. "Why do you want it?"

"Not your business. But I can say it is not your business to have it either. Unless you're some sick freak."

"Sick freak? What the fuck are you talking about?" A bit confused but another part was actually angry. Even some reason disgust. "I don't know what going in that head of yours. But I'm not giving you the picture. It is mine."

"You shouldn't have it."

"Why should you have it then?"

"Better than you."

"I don't have it with me and I wouldn't give it to you. The picture is mine."

"It should be mine since I know her!"

"Well, she my mom not yours!"

Moxxie has no idea why they let that slip out. Possibly the heat of the moment. The anger? A part of them don't want to lose anything left of Reyna out of respect for her. I mean this isn't this lady business to begin with.

So, why is this woman giving them this look?

"What did you," Couldn't finished the rest as they are staring at them closer now. Took a step forward as the other took a step back.

Stood up to clutch the briefcase tightly. Walk towards the window. "Apologies coming through your window. I'll be going out now. "

"Are you Moxxie?"

Nothing in those few seconds mattered but get out.

Jump out the window and just ran. If they saw their own face would have seen how wide their eyes are. Heart beating very fast. Instincts just told them to run. Even if questions filled their heads how? Why? Along with another part not wanting to murder right now.

The last time anyone seemed to know them without realizing it was Grillo.

Doing their best to ignore their names being yelled out towards them. Get out this blasted ring. Get away.

"Moxxie! Moxxie no wait!"

About to almost there to reach the corner. Never come back here again. This ring brings them too many problems one after another.

"I know Reyna! I work with her!"

Trip over a trashcan.

~ ~ ~ ~

Done!

What do you all think?

What shall happen?

Yes, Moxxie should you should start putting chocolate price limit.

A point for the trashcan.

Oh, those criminals have lost Moxxie. PS. These aren't Crimson goons.

(Goon 1: YOU LOST THEM!
R. Goon 1: SO, DID YOU TOO!
Goon 1: WANT TO FIGHT YOU SASHIMI ASS!
R. Goon 1: BRING IT ON BETTER GETTING KILLED BY YOU THAN BY MY BOSS!
*Both sides fight again like before while anyone smart enough in the groups still search for their life's sake. *)

Apologies for the slow updates on this one. (Well, all of them. ) One just been doing a lot request and drabbles as I do enjoy them. Two, well chilling and random breaks. Three, after learning about Helluva Boss Upcoming episodes. I'm just on the edge of my seat XD. So, looking back and forth a lot. But eventually might see at a certain time frame a lot of chapter updates being prepared. So, be prepared!

Any questions?

Until next time.

Bye, bye!
