day time around 3pm. It's been three days since Louie and Lee's massacre on the demons, they both are still on the drive to get to a place of worship. Louie still the one driving while Lee is on the passenger seat again, Louie prefers to drive becuase he feels a sense of control, Lee doesn't care becuase right now he just wants all of this to be over. The both of them have gotten a new suit on, they are alot more clean then they were 3 days ago, Louie has a red two piece suit with a white shirt and a white tie. Lee has a Black two piece suit, also with a white shirt but his tie is black. Lee still has the briefcase cuffed to his wrist.
They both sit quietly minding their own business. Lee is wondering what if Rick truly is working with the Devil, he knows it's wrong to think that, he can't help but think about 'what is the Devil planning?' 'Is Rick truly working with him?' Is God in danger?' The last thought has him disgusted with himself, 'how can he doubt the creator of everything!' 'he can't be killed becuase he made everything, he's unkillable... Right?', the thoughts have him stressed, he tries to get a hold of his faith and shakes the thoughts off. Louie who's looked pretty calm so far notices Lee's stress, "you good?" asks Louie with a concerned look. "yeah, I'm fine." half heartedly replies Lee. Louie sighs and figures out what was happening, he says in a comforting tone "it's ok, we all go threw that phase."
"what do you mean?" Asks Lee trying to act like nothing happened. Louie chuckles and says "you know damn well what I'm talking about. There was a time even I had 'questions'. Believe me, it's better to talk to somebody about this, try me."
Lee awkwardly smile and shakes his head, refusing, he says "I'm fine, really."
Louie rolls his eyes, annoyed, he says a bit aggressively "motherfucker, I'm giving you a free therapy lesson here. You have any idea how much mankind pays for this shit?"
Lee sighs and says in a tired voice "we are not mankind, we are angels."
Louie shakes his head side by side and a grin forms on his face. Confused Lee asks "why are you smiling?"
Louie says in a calm tone as if he is speaking to a child "if that's the case, if we truly are different from mankind, if we were made to be different then why are we still feeling this sensation? I know the answer, becuase we were made this way."
Lee wants to disagree but sees Louie's point and begins to question his teachings. Louie sees the expression on Lee's face and smirks, he says "tell me, who taught you those things?"
Lee hesitate but says "it was Rick."
Louie scoffs, even his name annoys him, he says, annoyed "i know we shook hands but doesn't that feel suspicious, it's almost like he taught you to be a cardboard cut out and not who we angels actually because a cut out will never question and always obey. Now, shall we begin our therapy session?"
A whole new world opened in Lee's mind, things begun to slightly make sense but still not enough to where he questions Rick's loyalty to God, he reluctantly nods and says "yeah, fuck it."
Louie's face lits up and a grin forms on his face, he says in a excited tone "alright, let's get to it then."
the warm heat of the sun shines on the Mini Van As it drives on a dry and rough highway in the middle of nowhere. The Mini Van begins to shake and a puff of smoke comes out of the hood of the Mini Van.
Louie and Lee are caught off guard by it. Louie says in a annoyed tone "son of a bitch!"
He begins to pull over to the side of the highway...
It's night time, Louie and Lee side by side standing on the highway, hitchhiking, their Mini Van broken on the side of the highway, it seems they have abandoned all hope of fixing the Mini Van. They look to be hitchhiking for quite while now. Two headlights which looks to be of a car coming from the distance towards Louie and Lee, both of them notice the two headlights and put their thumb out in sync, asking to get a lift. The headlights come closer and closer to reveal a 90s white RV, The RV stops right next to Louie and Lee, the door of the RV open to reveal the driver was the old manager from the gas station. Louie's eyes widen in shock as he recognizes him.
Lee senses that he's a demon and his expression turns serious. "you angels looking for a ride?" asks the manager in a calm tone. Both Louie and Lee take out 9mm pistols, they seem to have acquired new guns in the 3 day span, they aim the guns at the manager who is still calm and not afraid at all, he just doesn't care. "you following us?" asks Louie in a aggressive tone. "I'm just driving." says the manager. "shut the fuck up, demon. Answer truthfully and we might let you live" says Lee, annoyed. "is that what you said to the other demon aswell?" says the manager in a almost mocking tone. Both Louie and Lee are caught off guard, they don't understand how did he about the demon and the promise in room 666. "who are you?" asks Louie in a serious tone. The manager smirks and says in a cheerful tone "I'm Andrew."
They both still have their guns pointed at Andrew. "you know quite alot, don't you, Andrew?" Asks Louie in a clam tone. Andrew smirk fades away and he says "you haven't made your visit very quiet to say the least."
"you know something we don't, Andrew?" asks Louie in a curious tone. Andrew remains quiet for few seconds, thinking carefully about the answer, a welcoming smile forms on his face, he says "I know you need a ride"
Louie scoffs, he sees that Andrew knows something and is being careful with his words for a reason, Louie is a bit annoyed by it. A devious smile forms on Lee's face and he says in a calm tone "what's stopping us from killing you and taking the RV?"
Andrew chuckles and says "nothing actually. So, what will it be?"
Louie thinks hard then sighs and lowers his gun. Lee is shocked by Louie's action and lowers his gun aswell, reluctantly.
Andrew says in a cheerful tone "Shall we?"
Louie enters the RV cautiously. Lee sees this and hesitantly follows.
The RV is fairly clean for a demon and looks pretty normal. Louie and Lee are surprised to see this, they haven't seen a demon living in a clean environment on their own and not making a mess. "would you mind?" asks Andrew signaling to the open RV door. Louie gives Andrew a mean stare, he's not gonna be bossed around by a demon. Andrew maintains eye contact but knows he shouldn't push his luck too far, he turns to look at Lee who rolls his eyes and knows that nothing is gonna happen until the door is closed. Annoyed, Lee sighs and slams the door shut, he says in a annoyed tone to Andrew "well, get moving then."
Andrew starts up the RV and begins to drive. Louie looks away from Andrew and walks around the RV then sits down on a bed in back of the RV. Lee chooses to stand and begins to walk back and fourth, tightly holding the brief case. Louie says to Andrew in a hostile tone "head west."
Andrew smirks and nods in agreement...
Night time, Andrew's RV stops infront of a big church, a place of worship in the middle of a forest exactly where Louie and Lee wanted to go. It seems they were driving for quite while. Louie and Lee cautiously get out of the RV, Lee still holding the briefcase tightly, they both are a bit surprised that Andrew actually delivered them to the church, They both still don't trust Andrew even though he listened to them and didn't attack them, they both turn around and look at Andrew who smiles at them. Curious, Lee asks "why did you help us?"
"whatever you do is your buisness, even if it's a poor choice, it's on you. Demons, humans, angels, I have no interest in your little battle." says Andrew in his usual calm demeanor. The door to the RV automatically closes and the RV drives off.
Louie and Lee left on the side of the rough dirt road, left confused and a bit uneasy. Lee sighs of relief that its over, he says in a relaxed manner "let's go and never think about this."
Louie nods in agreement and says in a quick tone "yeah, let's get the fuck out of here."
They both hurry to the church entrance...
Louie and Lee enter the church still holding their guns, they can't help but feel this feeling of being cautious. Lee is not holding the cuffed briefcase becuase he was safe at church, but can't help but feel cautious. There is Priest in the middle of the empty church with a lit candle, he is a old man, with a black cloak on. Covering his body, he turns around and notices the two angels, he says in a welcoming tone "welcome, God's soldiers, welcome. I had gotten the word of God that you will be coming. Such brave act you have done to retrieve a soul of one of our sinner, it is true that God forgives all."
Lee notices something strange, he thinks 'the Priest is in the middle of the church with a candle and not where he is supposed to be at where the candles are infront of the Jesus statue and also the candle he has is lit but only half the candles infront of the Jesus statue are lit, it looks like as if he was trying to light the other candles but why would he be standing in the middle and not next to where the candles are, couldn't have ran out of flame becuase if he did then he could've just relit it with the flame of the other candles, there was no point of him standing where he is'. this whole thing is confusing to Lee and he grabs the briefcase again. Louie notices Lee's expression change and becomes more cautious himself, he whispers "what happened?"
"I don't think this is it. The Priest..." replies Lee in a serious tone. The Priest notices them whispering to eachother but can't make up what they are saying, he says trying to stay calm "you are safe in this place of worship, my friend, no need to be on your toes, it's all alright now."
"sorry father, but I think we'll be taking our buisness somewhere else" says Louie in a calm tone. The priest's expression turn sour, he says stuttering "but-but there I-isn't another church near here, it will take you a long time to get to another church!"
Lee quietly cock his pistol, he prepares for the worst. "yeah? I did hear there was a Buddhist temple close, I think we'll go there." says Louie with a smug smile. The Priest takes a step forward and says in a desperate voice "you can't."
Louie sighs and is annoyed, he says in a hostile tone "motherfucker, you got caught."
The Priest scoffs and sighs, a creepy mischievous smile forms on his face, he says with a annoyed tone "fine, I guess no point hiding it then." the Priest lifts up his cloak to reveal two SMGS, he takes them out and aims at the two angels. Louie and Lee see the SMGS and their eyes widen in shock, Lee yells "what the shit!". The Priest fires at them with a sadistic smile then laughs like a maniac. Louie and Lee dive out of the way just in the nick of time and crawl their way to take cover behind two pillars at the front door of the church, opposite to eachother.
Lee says to Louie in angry tone "we could've shot his ass but you decided to run your mouth!"
"how the fuck should I have known that the motherfucker would have SMGS up his ass!" replies Louie, he really didn't expect this. "how the fuck does a demon even get into a church?!" Asks Lee, confused.
"they can't. This asshole isn't a demon!". Replies Louie, trying to get a shot at the 'Priest' but failing to peak and taking cover everytime. "then what the fuck is it?!" asks Lee in a high pitch tone. "I've been around these fools long enough to recognize them by their smile." says Louie, he gets ready to shoot back. " you don't mind telling me what it is?" asks Lee, he also gets ready to shoot back. "a fucking shapeshifter" says Louie loud enough that the 'Priest' hears it too. The 'Priest' stops shooting as he needs to reload, he goes to take cover behind a Pilar to his left, he then says loudly "bingo!" and begins to reload.
"what did you do to the real Priest, you son of a bitch!" yells Lee. The 'Priest' chuckles and yells "why would I tell you?"
Lee gets frustrated and scoffs. Louie takes aim and looks around to see where is the 'Priest' hiding, he loudly says "I know you freaks don't get yourselves involved in our business. So, who put a leash around your neck and made you their bitch?"
The comment stung the 'Priest' and he scoffs, he looks annoyed and mad, he yells "fuck you!"
Louie scouted where the sound of the 'Priest' came from and shoots the pillar which the 'Priest' was behind. The shots catch the 'Priest' off guard and he gets startled, debrie falls on him. "too close?" yells Louie in a mocking tone. The 'Priest' loses his mind over Louie mocking him and peaks out about to shoot but then Lee shoots the pillar making the 'Priest' fall back into cover as debrie falls in his eyes, he mutters to himself, angry "motherfucker!" he knows he messed up trying to take cover becuase now he is stuck.
Louie and Lee are in a more superior position, they outnumber the 'Priest'. Lee sees an opportunity and decides to sneak around, he slowly and quietly makes his way to another to his left with a better angle, he reaches the pillar and peaks to see the 'Priest's shoulder.
Louie keeps the 'Priest' distracted with his words, he loudly says "what was so bad that your ass agreed to get involved, money, love, lust?"
"you don't get. You never will " says the 'Priest' as his voice cracks up.
"if not money, love, lust, then what?" asks Louie trying to act curious. The 'Priest' tears up and says loudly "a escape from nothingness"
Louie is confused by the comment and says "nothingness?" he then realizes and laughs, the echo is loud enough to that the 'Priest' hears it. The laughter hurts the 'Priest' mentally who says "I knew you wouldn't get it"
Louie controls his laughter and loudly says like a nursery rhyme "somebody got promised a afterlife."
Lee is caught off guard as he hears what Louie had just said, he feels kinda bad for the 'Priest' even tho it's a shapeshifter, he then focuses again on the 'Priest's shoulder again. The 'Priest' says loudly "you try living as a monster with no religion or hope for your kind. Live in the darkness which I have."
Louie rolls his eyes and says in a mocking tone "if you really think you'll be given an afterlife by killing angles? Then you deserve nothingness for being a dumbass."
Lee contemplating his next move, he knows he has to take a shot but there is something which is holding him back and telling him not to, he sighs in frustration and puts his gun down, then slowly walks out from behind the pillar with his hands up.
Louie is confused to see this and yells at Lee, angry "Lee what the fuck are you doing?!"
"I'm coming out, no weapons." says Lee in a calm tone to the 'Priest' as he slowly walks forward. The 'Lriest' is Startled to see where Lee was and how vulnerable he was, he aims at Lee and says like a Warning "stay the fuck back!"
Lee stops in his track still with his hands up and the briefcase dangling from being cuffed to his wrist, he says in a calm tone "it's alright, I get it."
Louie sighs in frustration and sneaks around to where the 'Priest's pillar is.
The 'Priest' still aiming at Lee says "give me the fucking briefcase!"
"I can't do that but I can take you out of the darkness. I don't know who promised you the afterlife but they are lying." Says Lee trying to calm things down. Louie reaches the 'Priest's Pillar and sneaks behind the distracted 'Priest's and stands behind him, he aims his gun at back of it's head.
The 'Priest' has no clue that Louie is behind him, he slightly lowers his gun and asks Lee with a hint of sadness in his eyes "then can you show me the afterlife like... They did?"
"I... can't. But I promise there is a afterlife for you." says Lee as calm as he can.
The 'Priest' chuckles and says "you can't prove it to me but want me to take your word?"
Lee begins to grow nervous but keeps his tone calm and says "who would you rather trust, a real angel or a third party with a high chances of them lying?"
The 'Priest' thinks for a few seconds, he sighs and says "give me the briefcase."
Bang! Louie shoots the "Priest" in the back of the head, he falls one the floor, dead.
Lee sighs, he feels sad that he couldn't convince him, he looks at his corpse with a look of sadness, he felt bad for him and knows that it was just another lost soul, misguided into doing horrible thing, Lee says in a serious tone "the Devil will pay for this."
"get in line then" replies Louie in a sarcastic tone. Thud! Thud! Thud! A loud banging noise come from the confession booth. Louie and Lee walks over to the booth cautiously. Louie stands infront of the booth and takes aim, Lee slowly grabs the curtain slides to the side to reveal another Priest but this one is tied up with rope and has his mouth covered with a piece of cloth, this Priest looks surprisingly young to be a Priest. Louie and Lee look at the Priest confused. The Priest mumbles something which Louie and Lee can't understand. Lee takes the piece of cloth off of the Priest who says "thank you, thank you"
Louie and Lee glance at eachother confused...
It's been an hour since what had just happen with the shapeshifter, Lee stands outside of the church holding the briefcase, thinking what he could've done to prevent the death of that shapeshifter. Louie walks out with the Priest, Louie says "thank you, father. Are you sure you'll be alright alone?"
The Priest chuckles and says "I'll be fine, you two get going."
Louie nods and walks towards Lee as the Priest walks back inside the church. Louie stands next to Lee and says "lucky us, the nice Priest offered us his car." Louie sees Lee's serious expression, before he can say anything else, Lee speaks and says "I could've saved him. If only I had just... Maybe been more open."
Louie sighs and says "he didn't wanna be saved, he had made up his mind. The real question is who used him."
Lee sighs and looks Louie with determination and says in a agressive tone "I know i said we focus on the mission but if it is true that the Devil is causing all of this and one of ours is helping him then I wanna stick around here for a bit and find them."
Louie sighs and nods, understanding Lee's emotion, he says calmly "what's the plan?"
Lee looks at Louie dead straight in the eyes and says "we kill the Devil."
