I'd like to introduce you to Lucy. The biggest issue on her mind is whether she's going to get those college grades she needs. She's short, 5 foot 4-ish, blonde, blue eyed and very pretty.
It's amazing Lucy's still a virgin. It's also unfortunate for us all that she's still a virgin, as she's attracted some unwanted attention.
I've been keeping an eye on the internet activities of the Dark Rose for a few years now. I swear, you'd be amazed the kind of shit you can post out on the open, without any cover whatsoever, and people will just think you're a bunch of nuts, or maybe ever a parody of something. They're a cult that's managed to summon at least a half-dozen demons. They're dangerous, too. They like to summon demons of depravity. I think they're the ones responsible for summoning a possessing demon that took control of a teenage boy and used his body to rape his mother, his sister, murder his father before letting control of the young man's mind.
Did the lad kill himself after having been made to do all that to his family? Did he? No. He pleaded insanity in court. Won. Now, he's got his own radio show.
His sister is his co-host. They've a playful, flirty banter while they're on air. This is a fucked up world. It would be a lot worse with even two or three extra demons in it.
I got the demon, though. It went on to inhabit a black dog. I caught up with it just as it had stalked some young woman into alleyway. It was a big dog, but not immortal. Some bullets and a big fuck-off iron spike was enough to put it down.
It was a bloody fight. Nearly cost me my arm. It did cost me a hell of a lot of bullets. I'd much rather spend my money on condoms.
That brings me back to Lucy. Lucy, who looks very similar to the girl the demon-dog had stalked into alley. Lucy, who has been flirting with a guy on Facebook. A guy, I'm sure, is part of the Dark Rose.
I've also seen the same van outside her appartment for the last three nights. They're keeping a close watch of her.
Tonight's a big deal. She has a date. A date with the Facebook guy. Her talkative neighbour told me that much.
It's not even morning now. The sun's not due up for another hour. I've the whole day to solve this mess. |
