.Lucifer.

Wallet slammed full of cash, suitcase filled to the brim with food and essentials, I met with Harry on the ground level of my apartment building. His jaw was set, shaven clean, and tensed. Nothing about this was funny, he must've been thinking. Macy was missing, therefore the balance of everything was thrown off.

"Come on, Durante," he said, terse.

I did 'come on,' but when we got to the parking garage, I halted in my tracks. Harry's hand was outstretched with a remote in hand, and as he pressed a button, the taillights of a car lit up in reaction.

"What is that horrific beast?"

"It's a minivan," he said dryly.

"Nah, that's fucking Lucifer after he fell to the cold, hard earth and landed on his ass."

For the first time that day, he smiled. It was smug, just like Harry had always been. "You won't believe how much it smells like Satan's ass."

And alas, the stench was so bad that even when the wind and cold were a brutal combination, we rolled the windows down just to ameliorate the issue of the stink. 

As we pulled onto another street, which bulged with public transport vehicles, I piped up. "How are we going to find her without getting lost? We have nothing to go off of except a Tweet."

We came to a stop in traffic, and he turned his whole upper toward me, looking me square in the eyes. Even though his stature left something to desire, his attitude held more testosterone than anyone I'd ever known, so he looked more intense than most lightweight MMA fighters.

"Getting lost is the goddamn goal, Durante."

"What?"

He turned his eyes back to the road as the taxi in front of us began to move.

"Macy is lost somewhere. If we get lost, then we'll likely wander the same way she does. Anyone could tell you that all that is lost shall be found, so once we find her while we are all lost, we can then return."

It took me a minute to process it all. Wind howled in my ears, blew my hair all around on my head, and organized my thoughts. Or perhaps made them more conflicted with that image of Macy's mouth on mine.

"Then let's get lost."
