Chapter 7 - Chapter 7: The Soulless

Knock! Knock! Knock! Someone's at the door, "room service." the voice sounds of an old women. Lee opens the door and is shocked to see Andrew who's standing in the hallway with a huge smile on his face and says in a calm tone "hello."

Lee's eyes widen in shock, but the shock only lasts few seconds and turns into fury, he punches Andrew on the face.

Andrew didn't expect that punch and stumbles back upon the impact of the punch, he holds his nose in pain, he says in a furious tone "what the hell?!" different from his usual calm demeanor.

Lee, furious, takes a step forward, he is out in the hallway aswell with Andrew, he replies with a pissed off expression "you son of a bitch!" he clinches his fist again, about to throw another punch, he says in an furious "you sent to that fucking bar knowing there were demons there!"

Andrew's eyes widen as if he has heard the most shocking thing in his life, he keeps holding his now broken nose, he says in a concerned tone "demons?" he looks like he didn't even know aswell.

Lee, confused, still has his fist clinched and says in a sarcastic yet furious tone "am I speaking in 4-D, bitch?" He's about to throw another punch but stops as he hear Louie call out to him.

"Wait Lee." calls out Louie in a concerned tone. Louie gets up from his bed and makes his way to Lee and Andrew, he stops by the doorway and says while keeping his voice down "not out here, the walls don't have motherfucking sound proof barriers, I don't know but nothing is stopping demons from being in this hotel too and the last thing we want is another herd of those syringed up fuckers... Now, Both of you, Inside."

Lee sees the point, he was too blinded by his anger to remember that they are chased by the demons and they needed to lay low, especially after that fight. Lee nods and walks back into the hotel room.

Louie watches Lee go back inside then turns his attention to Andrew who is standing there hurt, he glances at Andrew with a emotionless stare, he signals him inside too.

Andrew sighs, he doesn't wanna be alone with two angels in a room even though he had been speaking to them and was in a car with them alone but somewhere where he has no control is not his ideal idea. Andrew reluctantly walks into the room, still holding his nose.

both Lee and Andrew are now in the room opposite to eachother, Louie closes the door of their hotel room and locks it.

Louie locking the door made Andrew even more uncomfortable, he doesn't like that they are in control.

Lee stood by the window, he looks at Andrew and says in a furious tone while trying to keep his voice down "explain."

Andrew sighs and says in a frustrated tone of his own "I don't know either, I was for sure that was a safe place for you two."

Lee scoffs, he doesn't believe a word that Andrew is saying, he believes it was a trap and says in a sarcastic tone "oh yeah, I believe you, Demon."

Andrew is frustrated himself, he doesn't understand why there were demons in the bar at the first place, he says "I know, you don't trust me but I'm upset too."

Lee chuckles in sarcastically and says in a mocking way "ofcourse you would be, becuase we are still alive."

Andrew points at Louie's bed and asks Louie "is this your bed?"

Louie is confused by his sudden change of topic but doesn't pay too much attention to it Because there was a bigger picture to look at. Louie nods to Andrew's question.

Andrew asks Louie in a polite way "may I sit down?"

Louie replies in a frustrated tone "just fucking sit down."

Andrew quickly sits upon hearing Louie's tone, he's a little startled but gets a hold of himself. Andrew says trying to keep a calm tone "I don't understand this either... This shouldn't have happen." He's confused too and it was making him concerned aswell.

Louie Walks around the room, he's thinking, he knows that Andrew is a Demon but believes him, he stops and realizes, he takes a deep breath, frustrated.

Lee notices Louie's concern and asks "Louie, what?"

Louie sits down on Lee's bed, opposite to Andrew and faces him, he says trying to sound calm "this is not good."

Andrew becomes even more concerned, he says "what do you mean?" he knows it not good.

Lee takes a forwards, curious of what Louie is about to say and listens quietly.

Louie has got a serious look on his face and says "there is a chance you are being conspired against. Who did you tell about the bar, besides us?"

Lee sits down next to Louie, anticipating a answer.

Andrew looks surprised and is caught off guard by what had Louie said, he thinks for a bit then his expression softens as he realizes, he frowns, furious, he is so mad that he forgets that he has a broken nose, he says trying to maintain a calm tone "Precious."

Louie and Lee glance at eachother and exchange a confused look, they both look back at Andrew. Lee frowns and says "who the fuck is that?"

Andrew stands up, frustrated, he walks back and forth, annoyed that Precious would betray him, he keeps walking back and forth for a few seconds Then he mumbles to himself in an angry tone "fuck sake!"

Louie's eyes following Andrew back and forth, he says in a sarcastic tone "yeah great, we know you're angry. Who is that bitch?"

Andrew, still trying to comprehend that he got done over by one of his, he let's out a frustrated sigh and says in an annoyed tone "it is my pet."

Lee frowns, confused, he says in a sarcastic tone "a pet demon betrayed you... Have you tried keeping it on a leash?"

Andrew stops at looks at Lee like he's an idiot, he says I'm a offended tone "it's not a demon, it's something else, something more complicated."

Louie stands up and knows what it is, he says to Andrew in a confident tone "it's Soulless?"

Andrew's eyes widen, he is shocked that Louie is right, he says with a concerned look "how do you know?"

Louie chuckles and says in a cocky tone "I've been around longer than you think, I've came in contact with these motherfuckers."

Lee is still confused, he asks with a clueless look on face "what the fuck is a Soulless?"

Andrew is still a bit spooked about how Louie knew of the Soulless, he shifts his attention to Lee and answers in a calm tone "it's a thing that doesn't have a soul or a mind of it's own, it lives on pure instinct, high rank demons hunt it down in it's natural form and give it the illusion of life, then train it to be submissived to us. Once a Soulless is submissived we can do whatever we want becuase it's a handy weapon if used correctly."

Lee is shocked to hear what a Soulless is, he can't believe such a thing existed until now that he has been told about it, he asks in a curious tone "what so you mean by weapon?"

Andrew thinks for a second to remember their usefulness and says in a casual tone "they are very stealthy pricks, good at giving right answers, they can shapeshift into humans but since we are not humans, we are safe from having a doppelganger of our own running around the hotel and pulling stunts behind our backs."

Louie picks up 'running around the hotel' Part, he gestures Andrew to stop talking and asks with a concerned look "what do you mean 'hotel', is one of those assholes here?"

Andrew realizes his slip up and sighs, he was trying to keep this a secret, he says with a defeated look "yes... Precious."

Lee stands up, he stares Andrew down with anger in his eyes, he asks Andrew with a aggressive tone "I'm assuming it is not good?"

Andrew stays silent for a second and nods reluctantly, he knows this is a really bad situation with now the angels involved.

Louie and Lee exchange a quick glance and both walk to the doorway, they will hunt this thing down which caused so much trouble for them.

Andrew sees this and quickly hurries Infront of the doorway, blocking their path.

Both Louie and Lee stop.

Andrew can't believe they think they were stupid enough to just hunt down a Soulless, he says in a panicking tone "wait, just wait... You may be angels but that thing is a Soulless and a Soulless might not be stronger physically but it is smart, really smart and Precious happens to be my pet, meaning it has learned from me."

Louie and Lee realize what Andrew is saying and it is true, they couldn't even figure out what Andrew's intentions are and were about to take on something which even outplayed him. Louie and Lee glance at eachother, they know it's dangerous but they can't sit around and do nothing, they stare down Andrew.

Andrew realizes they have made up their mind and looks like he's about to explode at their idiocy, he says in a harsh manner "fine. Go ahead, you angels are too stubborn to listen anyways." he moves out of the way

Lee grabs the doorknob, he twists it and opens the door...

Louie and Lee both walk down the hallway of their hotel room, they are going to the elevator, they are ready to hunt this Soulless but they are also concerned because they don't have an idea what this Soulless looks like.

Lee sighs and frowns, he glances at Louie and asks with a concerned look in his eyes "So, what the fuck are we actually gonna do about this thing?"

Louie shrugs and says in a calm tone "shoot it?" he doesn't sound convinced himself.

Lee stops for a second and looks at Louie with a confused yet annoyed look, he walks quickly and catches up to Louie, he asks with a bit of an aggressive tone "why the fuck did it sound like there was a question mark at the end of that?"

Louie clears his throat, avoiding eye contact, he knows it was dumb for them to head in blind but they weren't gonna fight alongside a demon, he says trying not to sound unsure "we'll see what happens. We are fucking angels."

Lee can't believe this, he blindly agreed with Louie thinking he had a plan, but there is no going back now, he says in a serious tone "fucking everytime shit like this happens. You are trying to get us killed." he turns to face ahead.

They both stop at the elevator. Lee pushes the button and calls for the elevator. They both stood in silence, trying to devise up a plan.

Louie looks at Lee with a 'maybe' plan and says "there are two of us, let's just tag team this bitch, you take the front and I take the back."

Lee looks Louie dead in the eyes and says in a bit of a aggressive tone "first of all, that sounded weird. why the fuck do I have to be in the front?"

Louie replies with a straight face "becuase, you are a one suspicious looking motherfucker."

Lee says with a offended look "what do you mean I look suspicious? You look more like a thug than me."

Louie becomes offended now, he says with a aggressive tone "and what the fuck does that suppose to mean, motherfucker?"

Lee realizes how bad it sounded considering Louie is black, he clears his throat and looks ahead forward, wishing to God the elevator arrives soon, he stands there quiet.

Louie isn't gonna let him get off the hook that easy, he says still sounding agressive "no, what you were gonna say, you racist motherfucker."

Lee remains quiet, wishing this conversation were to end.

Louie begins to calm down and looks ahead, he is still offended "congratulation, in all of my life, you are the first racist angel I ever met."

Lee sighs, a bit ashamed even though he didn't mean it that way, he isn't very pleased to be the founder of such a title but there is nothing he could do about it now.

Ting! The elevator arrives and the doors of the elevator opens. There is a lady standing in the middle of the elevator, she's in her Thirtees, she's got a long coat on and has a hair bun.

Louie and Lee enter the elevator, they don't wanna visit that conversation again. Louie and Lee stand across from eachother with the lady in the middle. Louie by the buttons presses the ground floor button. The elevator door closes and it begins to move. Louie and Lee both stand there, strangely quiet.

"come on, I know you naughty boys aren't that stupid." says the lady in a teasing tone.

Louie and Lee both take out their guns and aim at the lady, they were suspicious of her the moment the elevator door opened.

Louie has his finger off the trigger and says in a authoritative tone "you are Precious?"

The lady chuckles and asks in a flirty tone "why, wanna take me out on a date? Yes, I'm known as Precious to some."

Lee scoffs, his finger is on the trigger, he says in a agressive tone "bold of you to think you could take on two angels."

Precious remains calm and looks at Lee with her seductive eyes and says "it would've been but thankfully it wasn't my plan."

Louie keeps notice of which floor they are on, he asks in a calm tone "then what is your plan?" he sounded a bit demanding.

Precious turns to face Louie, she has a feeling to be careful around Louie, she says with a mischievous smile "follow and you shall see."

The elevator reaches ground floor and as the door begins to open, both Louie and Lee quickly put their guns away and tuck them into their holders.

Precious casually out of the elevator and into the main hall, she stops and turns to look at Louie and Lee, she gestures for them to come out.

Louie and Lee hesitate for a bit but then follow and walk out of the elevator too, cautiously looking around, they don't want another situation like the bar one.

Precious smiles as she sees them walk out and begins to walk again.

Louie and Lee once again reluctantly follow Precious but keep their eyes out for anything suspicious. They keep following Precious but stop as she enters the hotel bar, they both exchange a confused and reluctant look.
