Moxxie knows they are being followed when they get off that bus.

Didn't want to portal. Taxies were being the usual jerk. So, I went to the bus stop. Sat in a very uncomfortable bus rethinking today's choices for this route.

That was fine.

When they got off the bus they weren't, well, wouldn't say angry. Like annoyed some NPC trying to get in the way.

I mean it's nothing new. They get followed a lot when they leave their apartment. Either it to be jumped to get stuff taken. Too be beat up. Random cruel, insults thrown at their face. A threat. A little too touchy. Didn't matter whether it be hellborns and sinners.

It's just this the one who following is doing a horrid job.

The smell was for one thing. Then how would they talk a little too loudly? Moxxie would randomly stop to check something that was on display. Then when they casually turn to look around. Actually, sees them do a fail job blending in, hide behind a random item or flirting a bit too hard with someone else

Worse they figure out who it is.

Millie ex.

Blitz former prison mate.

Chad.

They know it is wrong but don't care.

That foolish shark felt slight pity. Gave them half that winning to survive another day. Look many calls it stupid on their part but that was the close to being generous they will ever be. Sometimes I wonder where this moral, compassionate side of theirs came from. Can tell that boss of them wasn't playing around when they heard that talk. The proof was also the many walls decoration when they noticed it was real. Then those that another encounter and Blitz own.

An idiot who probably doesn't deserved to get kill. Well, not by that mafia boss's hand. I mean the other reason for that is that money to keep that alive had a bigger meaning.

Never said anything about stopping Millie if she ran into him again in the future.

The imp was very tempted to call, text her but decided not to as it was a work day for them. So, instead change up a bit of their routine. Not going to let this creep know their usual places.

Why not make them lose some productive time?

Chaz overheard behind the door about 'IMP" and 'gather intel'. Bright idea popping back up. The Don man still probably want to do business. Or get juicy Intel on the employee to either blackmail or take care of business.

He the man for the job. He did date Millie. That was with Blitz but that was very short. Plus, he is the one who learns about IMP from the TV commercial. Sure, the deal did not go the best way. Besides that, the amount of money showing up in his account this next day. Really, he should have just run away but he learned the lesson last time.

A painful one.

Better to pay up his debt. Get one baggage off his shoulders from the mafia looks. Back to business again.

Then a lot of mess-ups happen. I mean fixable ones. Besides can't go to Lust unless super disguised and want a death wish after that last stunt his boss did. He complains so much about that. He wasn't even there when he sent that video so he should be lucky. But Blitz, and his jester buddy have another issue. If he did run into them. He was lucky it hadn't happened yet on the few free days going to Lust.

Which brought in another problem.

The bit of money he was able to keep, along with the last score kind of going down the drain. Then some mess up on mission happen that weren't all his fault. He was doing his awesome job. Now he is back to sleeping in the car. It is better than no job.

Plus, maybe pressure off his shoulders since he um spent the rest of his money. Along with a few messed up along the way that he about to be back in the car. It is better than no job.

He should get a medal surviving this long. A medal with a hot babe on his lap. Then another medal of that awesome plan to follow one of them for extra details. Sweet juicy blackmail.

So, he thought why not follow the other one to get details. The small runt with that scarf. Notice no glasses this time. Maybe they got contacts or laser eye surgery. The little one that wouldn't give them a problem.

It was genius!

Today either felt like someone after Chaz or this imp as the weirdest errands. Why aren't they going to work? Is it a day off? Skipping? Maybe meeting someone that sounds fun. Yet, so far nothing has given Chaz any ideas about this imp. Besides wasting his time and actually getting aggravated.

First, they went to this store that was a sports store. Not the first place he would have expected to go as they didn't scream sporty. Maybe going to go buy training equipment? Outfits? He did get slightly distracted at some mannequins and went to la la la land to imagine himself as the mannequin. Showing off the goods. He could do it. Then some brat threw a soccer ball at his face. Would have chased after them but had to rush out when he saw them leave. Didn't even buy anything,

Next, when following the imp. Someone dropped marbles. Why is someone carrying a bag of marbles outside! He looks like a circus clown losing his footing and then slams into another a few other demons. One of them he flirted with. Which resulted in a punch in the gut of the hellborn partner.

A bakery. Nothing should happen when going into a bakery. He got hit by a piece of pie. Then they got attacked by crows outside that tried to get the piece of food. Plus, some shark hair and meat for bonus.

Should have probably stopped but he didn't! He had to get something!

Anything!

Instead, a lot of pain, embarrassment and running with his tail between his legs of the crazy distractions.

It's like someone was purposely making sure he couldn't get close to the imp.

He saw him. He knows he did see them come in this direction.

The shark growled as he looked around. Jacket dirty. A random banana peel in his hair. His tail looked like they had lost a piece of flesh. Many new bruises around. Eyes a bit unhinged, twitching to find this little shit now!

Kept looking till he picked up a scent. That got to be it! Follow the scent until he makes it to an area. Come on, he saw the blue scarf. Spot a group and rush over.

"Hey kids!" Chaz in front of three hellhound pups playing on one of those kiddie rides. "Have you seen an imp that is a shorty, looks bored and wears a blue scarf?"

All three point inside the convenient stores.

"Thanks!"

"Don't we get something?"

"Don't lick the pavement!" Chaz shouts as he runs inside the store before the kids could ask for money for candy. Ignore the employee who passed out. Goes to the short hallway and sees a door about to close. Runs over to grab the door knob and jumps inside. Grab them

Finally!

He may be a little unhinged but at this point doesn't care! He got them to where they were at. Going to get as many answers as possible. If he has to show his teeth and threaten so, be it. Don't worry he'll make it up getting them a drink and then...He grab a mop.

SLAM!

Spun around and reached for the door nod. Why the fuck is he lock in here? Shouldn't it be the other way around? Wait, what is he hearing?

SQUEAK!

SQUEAK!

HISSSSS!

SQUEAK!

HISSSSS!

SQUEAK!

SQUEAK!

Slowly turned around as he looks up. Chaz eyes widen at the number of rats, squirrels glaring down at him on the shelves. Turn around quickly to hit his fist against the door. "LET ME OUT! LET ME OUT! LET ME OUT!"

Nobody isn't opening the door.

Moxxie hums as they pay the kids for misleading Chaz to the room. Money for the employee I mean they did see them walk past the room. Nothing about going inside. "Thanks for the distractions cachorros."

The hellhound pups saluted the imp.  Look at the door that was banging with screams of pain. "Is he going to survive?"

"Sadly yes. It's just a lesson he needs to learn." Wave it off like it was nothing. Not their problem to know the full reason. "Now go along. I give that door other minutes until it crashes down."

"Okay!"

"Thanks again!"

"Awesome doing business!"

Moxxie watches the three heads off. Once they are sure out of the store and farther away. Press against the wall and reach out to the 'unlock' the door. Let it swing open fast. When they fell back into the wall, they made a portal back to the apartment. Close quickly before anyone could have seen it when the door flapped. A small hum laying on the couch as they swing their legs in the air.

That was productive.

"Repeat that again Chaz?" Alessio blinked as he listened to what he said again. He finally got in touch with him. He was supposed to be in to do a few rounds. Nope, miss out. Finally, he answered. Well, the answer to the question that he had to ask again. Also, hoping for a different answer or misheard him.

"I'm getting rabies shots, bandage up." He sounded a bit shaken up.

Nope, he didn't mishear him.

Alessio took a deep mental breath. Crimson wanted him to deal with their crew right now along with their other responsibilities on side. Which he is but sometimes he questions how much patience he can take with idiots like Chaz. Sure, his debt cleared but it doesn't mean to drop their guard. Could ruin another bank heist like before. Hopefully this time no help. "When you done return back here and we can-"

"Those rats, squirrels are demons! They are going to run us out!"

Great another fanatic about those blasted vermin.

"That one eye rat was going to claw my eye out!"

"...Chaz I'm going to hang-up now. Be back here in two days or else." Hang up to not hear another maniac ramble. Debate to tell Crimson but even he has been a little unhinged, then normal, of not getting the answers he wanted right now.

He needs a vacation.

~ ~ ~ ~

Done!

What do you all think?

Welcome to the Rat, squirrel trauma group Chaz!

Moxxie a bit too happy with themselves. They 'may' have baited those rats, squirrels with a portal to that room.

Don't we all Alessio.

Cachorros = Pups

Any questions?

Until next time.

Bye, bye!
