LJ Havok and Chris Mancini found the run down bridge with no problem at all. There was a sign that said "dead end ahead". They figured it was a good place to start. And they weren't wrong this was the place.

As they walked up on the place, they saw a glimmer of fire coming from under the bridge.


Someone is definitely under there.

No shit, Sherlock.

LJ Havok grins, and Chris looks at him like he could kill him.

What do we do? Ambush him?

They hear the a man clearing his throat behind them. Both Chris and LJ relunctantly turn around.

It was Brother Thompson--or Tom Stevenson.


Did Lou send you?!

I'm not telling you anything.. until you answer one question for me.

Why should I do anything you say?

Well...

LJ Havok raises up his shirt exposing a gun tucked into the front of his pants. Then he lowers his shirt back down.

I trust that got your attention now.. So now you tell me where the Devil comes into all of this..

The man is refusing to make eye contact, and he is trying to gain his composure. He slowly begins to speak.

I got so drunk one night that I attempted suicide. Bein' homeless and jobless I didn't have a job. So I jumped off that bridge over there. I couldn't bare livin' anymore. I cause serious financial issues for my favorite liquor store.

Needless to say, it didn't kill me just hurt me really bad. From that moment on I promised to turn my life around. I met a girl..She was married, but I loved her. I had never loved before.

One night I went over to her house while her husband was away on business, and my friends had followed me with out me knowing it with intent to steal anything of value they could find. Well the shit hit the fan then. The husband came home early. I was scurryin' to get my pants back on. My friends heard the car pull up they rushed into the bed room and shot the girl..Then they escaped out the window

Their intent was to frame me with murder. I don't think they counted on my knowing their identity. I dropped the dime on them and after much heartache I got off. They put me in witness protection/


The whole time he is speaking there are tears streaming down his cheeks.

And when does the deal come it.

I'm gettin' to it!

He snaps at LJ Havok.

I met the person in charge of my name and where I would live to ensure my safety from the two assholes that caused all of this.

I was so depressed that I just agreed to everything. The man in charge of me was named Lou. He was a middle-aged man with a kind smile. He offered me the world. He asked me what I really wanted out of life.

I said that I really wanted a wife. I wanted to be a preacher, and be financially comfortable. He said he could do that if that's really what I wanted. I agreed. He placed a contract in front of me, showed me where to sign. He said it was for my soul. I signed anyway. I figured he was joking. I also thought that if he was, me becomin' may be a good thing. I thought I could do enough good to negate the contract.

From that point on I never really thought about it. And then I started getting these unholy urges about a year ago. I was stealin' money from the church and committing infidelity. The he revealed himself to me.


Lou?

No.

His voice had changed drastically.

Me.

I'm Sven, gentleman. This hillbilly fucker was taking too long getting the story out.

So long story short, Lou sent me to inhabit Tom's body. I like it here, and I am not going back.


He changes shape to demon form. His horns slowly came out of his head, and his wings sprouted. His teeth were sharp and eyes were as red as blood.
He goes after LJ Havok. Chris splashes the contents of a canister at the demon. The demon starts sizzling. It drops to it's knees and slowly starts changing into human form.


What the fuck was that?!

Chris smiles.

Holy water.

]Where'd you get Holy water?

I stole it it from my grandmother's church. I was going to drink it to become more like you.

I read about it online. It said it can expell evil for wherever it dwells.


Oh. Neat. Isn't there a phrase that's supposed to go with that? You know something that may or not be true...It's worth a shot.

Ummm.

The power of Christ compels you!


Like something out of a movie, a smoking substance creeps out of the man's nose and mouth. It starts to rain as this is happening.

Holy shit! It worked!

Tom, you okay?


Tom grunted and moaned as he slowly gets up to his feet again.

Yeah. I just need some water I think.

Hey the voice is gone--


As he finishes his sentence he is struck by lightening. He hits the ground with a thud. Then the body disappears. Then Lou creeps in from a distance clapping his hands.

Good job, boys!

Why the fuck did you do that?! We were going to do it.

Oh bullshit. You bought into his sob story like I knew you would. This was the plan all along. Thank you for that

He smiles and rubs his hands together like a mad man. The rain stops.

So who wants to throw back a couple cold ones with Uncle Lou?

Blow it out your ass. I'm done with you.

Havok storms past Lou, and Chris follows. Chris pats Lou on the shoulder apologetically.. Lou looks at the two like they are morons.

Lee, you and I are not done. You still have to look after my son. Remember?

Havok turns back around.

I thought it was a one time thing.

You thought wrong, bud. You help him until he is all powerful. Once that is done we will be done. It will not be a moment sooner, if it is you will be in breach of contract. And that means I can start hunting your sheep.

Lou sticks his hands in his pockets and chuckles. LJ and Chris continue walking away to the car across the road.

Do you still want to stop and get those beers?

No. I'm starting to feel sick.
