Smoke rose past Fidgets eyes, the cigarette burning low as it fit snug between her lips. She took the moment to take a long pull before snuffing the stick into the ashtray beside her laptop. Work had piled up, which was never a simple task considering the family that lived under her roof. “ ‘ey Fidge’, wha’ ye say ‘bout goin’ out tanight and catchin’ some new talent?” Waylon strutted into her office, his hands moving to pull his long, black hair up into a pony tail. “I don’ know if ye realized, but in order ta get new talent ye need ta have a place o’ employment fer ‘em.” Her response was snarky, leaving Waylon to stand in the middle of the room with a wary expression. “An’ ye have infinite money ta keep said place o’ employment open fer tha’ next hundred years. Tha fuck crawled up yer back end?” He scrunched his eyebrows, moving to the window seat to the right side of the room. Fidget scratched her scalp rather hard, wincing in the process, “Gotta find a new place ‘cause some yuppy thought it’d be a blast ta shoot some o’ the girls up.” She leaned back in her chair with a huff, arms thrown over to the side, “ ‘m considerin’ callin’ Bune in fer tha’ favor.”
As if on cue, the demon appeared. Waylon had to catch himself as he let out a girlish scream. “Really? And I thought Fidget here had the lovely singing voice.” Bune quipped as he moved his hands to smack off bits of flaming clothing. “Ye gone tell me why ye decided ta show up now? I didn’ call ye up fer a visit, mate.” Fidget had no time for the demon’s games, her stare on the green eyed bastard leveled. Before Bune could open his mouth, sirens began to blare throughout the entire house. “Marco! Visitor!” Fidget sprung up from her seat, Waylon hot on her heels as they pushed past Bune. What Fidget loved about her second Marco was how ready he was for anything. The male in question tossed her, her rifle. Cocking his own and testing the scope, Marco tilted his head towards the female, “Haven’ had any action fer a hot minute, aye? Think this’ll be bloody?” It was almost as if he was hoping for a bloodbath. “I worry ‘bout ye sometimes.” Fidget muttered as she pushed her feet into a pair of her boots.
As they all stepped out of the house, they instantly started to sprint out into the yard, lights flashing as they tried to look for a face. That was until Fidget caught sight of a familiar form. She stepped forward cautiously, shined her light once before stopped all movement. “W-Warren?”
Bunch of waving flashlights. “Tisk. “ He couldn’t help feel like a canine that was about to get shot just for rattling the chicken coop. Then again, what’s new.
He stepped back, his shape melting with the shadows of the trees. Enough to stay out of sight unless a flash light was pointed directly at him. When Fidget’s light caught him, he slunk behind a tree. Nice big sturdy one that could catch at least a few bullets. His behavior was, cautious. Unlike his usual happily-dee-doo-da open arms approached.
“Yes-” He responded to her calling him by his human name, peeking out from behind his cover.“-if it means you won’t shoot.” His bright teal eyes swept over Fidget and her little crew. Demonic looking serpent eyes which pick up on their energy signatures. ( Closes thing Warren had to night vision if you will.) “Otherwise, nope. Just a talking tree.” He smiled and leaned back, rested his head against the rough surface of the timber, weight shifting as he adjusted his jacket. “Who’s the lackeys?” He questioned a little louder. An unnecessary poke, but he didn’t know Waylon or Marco. The second looking very eager to make his day just that much more difficult. On a normal day, a welcoming challenge,… but not today.
