"So, should I say I'm leaving? Quit? Tell me you'll fire me?'' Moxxie asked Ivy as she gives him an amused look.

It was a situation Moxxie has been thinking about for a while now. The business was doing well online. Plus, what he sells here at the Nightshade Café. It'll give him time to put in extra work. Along with his other job on the side in space.

Yet, it feels weird. Off? Awkward? Ivy is a good boss to him and watch out for him. Along with became good buddies with his Madre. Not like they will not see each other after he quits.

"Probably one of the other two so you're Mom won't strangle me."

"But you got vines with thorns around your neck."

"She'll find a way."

"Okay?"

Ivy chuckles and pat his shoulder. "I'll say this you're the best employee I ever had."

Moxxie snorts and nudge her. "Let's see how long that last till you hire someone else."

"I'm picky who I hire."

"True. You pick me."

They both laughed and talk. Figure out a few things how he'll usually bring the orders here. Next, model shoot with the clothes if she available or not. Small talk. Then he heads off. Moxxie phones dings and checks it. It was a photo He chuckles and text back. "Like the haircut Millie."

"Thanks! I love it too!" Millie photo shows her once long wild raven hair. Is now a familiar messy bob hair cut style.

"Madre will think you did this. Just because she cut her hair."

"Lies! I was planning it! Just needed the right style!"

"Well it suits you very much."

"Thanks Mox!"

"No, problem Mil-Mil. I told Ivy today."

"How it go?"

"No, tears of fireworks or being poison. So, I think it went well."

"Good! Friendship still there!"

"You were going to destroy her property if one single tear happen."

"No, comment. Oh! Will be working tonight so don't worry about me."

"Don't have too."

"Bye, bye!"

"See yeah." Moxxie put his phone up and let out a sigh.

Things been looking up alright. Well, alright as one can be in Hell. Moxxie and Millie friendship grown being roommates. It was a friendship Moxxie wouldn't want to get rid of now. Sure been a few rare awkward moments. Like if Millie brought someone over. Then thrown out the window for being a rude ass.

The rats love it and drag the 'victim' in the apartment room.

Yep, the little jerks still live in there. Along other areas of Pride Moxxie very suspicious about. Then lets it be since they don't bother them. Millie on 'hold' getting rid of them. She fine where she staying at with Moxxie.

He was fine with that too. The two spend time together. But also give the other space if they have their own stuff and business to do.

Like right now.

He has done a few jobs as a shooter. Really it was testing out weapons for Blood Drop for her weapon shop. Guns Day. Finally, found the name of the place. He went back and forth a lot to the flirty yet vicious Imp. A few talks about either certain Spanish shows or about weapons. She was very impressed. Next, thing he knows he got to shoot a few weapons for her.

Along with his suspicion were right. She was the one who order the rat plushy. Got a buddy too he seen when Blood Drop wasn't looking. A big rat he saw and told was name Carmesi. As long Carmesi leaves him alone. There won't be any issues.

So, far seems they are good. Even if he has to hold back Millie to not go after the rat. Blood Drop responsibility in this area with them. Not them unless an issue.

Now Blood Drop will do some shooting as well but only on days she doesn't need the place open. Did make sure he knew his stuff as she will wanted a few written detail reports. Any problems, issues, or need to be sent back. Doesn't get paid but will get some free ammo or certain parts for his weapons. It was a win/win.

He was heading at one of the gun ranges right now. Blood Drop got two new guns in and see if it's worth it. The gun ring in Pride, depends where you go, is alright. Went to range in Imp city. Could be better. Could be worse. Once you actually clean up all the bullet casing and maybe get a dummy not fully destroy. Not that many and far away to not be bothered.

Got one of the guns ready. A Dragunov Sniper Rifle.

Check out everything so far with the gun. Then place the ammo in.

Target sighted.

Took a few breathes and look in the scope.

BAM!

BAM!

BAM!

Two chest shot and one head shots at the paper target dummy.

Excellent to anyone else who saw it.

Moxxie tsk and lower the gun down. Too slow when he pulled the trigger. Grab the notebook and wrote down the scenery, thoughts, and should be taken apart. Spun quickly bringing the gun to someone face when he heard running towards him.

"Woah! Put the long gun down! Want to talk oh firecr-Moxxie?"

Moxxie eyes confused at first not recognizing the taller imp. Then slowly began to go wide as he pick up familiar features along with his memories. Wore just a back jacket, white open up shirt and black tattered jeans. The narrow head. Black and white curved horns. A heart-shaped skull mark that wasn't on his forehead before. A large white mark, sees lots of them, on the right side of his face. Black spines on his back and tail that was now noticeable. A red skull charm wrapped around his neck. A pair of shock turn to happy yellow sclera with red iris.

"Blitz?"

"You remember me!"

"Wait Bl-"

Blitz tackle down Moxxie to the floor and hugged him. Did forget the hug contact as Moxxie scream. Do you blame him? It been so many years!

The gun fire off in the air.

Oops.

"Jeez I thought you were better than that now." Blitz pouts but wasn't too close to Moxxie as he calms down.

Moxxie sent a look. "How the heck you remember me?"

"No, damn hello."

"Hello Blitz. How the heck you remember me?"

"Well it has been many, many years but I can forget a face like yours!"

"It's the marks wasn't it?"

"Can't I remember my first little fan? With your teary cheeks and big eyes behind those nerdy glasses."

"Your head was smaller."

"Right to the heart. Saw you shooting." Blitz let out a whistle. "You are really good."

"The gun not great."

"Don't care you shoot good and smart."

"Look as good as it is too see you again." Which is really his second time now. Since the last time was a kid. Didn't even compare young Blitz to the one he is seeing. Till right now. "But what you need?"

"Well." Blitz smile way to big and point a finger at Moxxie. "I want to hire you. To work with the greatest boss, which is me. One of a kind and different! It'll be amazing! Bloodshed! Probably some hotness on the side. Moxxie how you like to in my assassin business!"

Moxxie drop the gun and it went off again.

He forgot IMP.

Two hours later and Guns Day.

"No." Moxxie said with a deadpanned look.

"What!" Blitz yelled and almost drop the glass of alcohol.

The two at Guns Day mini bar. Too talk and figure out this whole business deal. Along with return the guns back to Blood Drop. Who didn't look to please right now with the mess on her counter?

"Blitz while your ideas to kill human in the living world. Is different. I just can't sign this contract." If you can count it as one. Push th paper away. A bit wrinkle plus were a few doodles of horses.

"Oh come on Moxx what the issue? You're a good shot. Will be paid well. We won't be hold back by anyone else. Plus, I got it taken care of how to be transported to Earth. And we get to spend so much time together!" Eyes big and sparkle at the thought.

"I won't kill children."

"What!" Look gone.

"As ridiculous as it sounds Blitz I do have some morals." Can try to have some redemption back by not killing kids. Even before was very unsettled to do it.

"Oh you got to be shitting me!"

"No, deal to that."

"Anything else to complain about?"

"No, pregnant person."

"Are you for real?"

"Yes."

"What next teenagers."

"It's 50/50 on them."

"Touché." Blitz groans and rubs his face.

"Plus, your business isn't out yet. You have no place we would run this place. This contract really in its rough draft form to be final. You haven't told me about what the payment will be. Or at the matter how you will get us to Earth that won't affect us. If anyone found out Imps were allowed throu-"

"Geez you sound like a business boring consultant." Rolled his eyes and got finger snap to the face.

"I'm just helping you out Blitz. I'm not going to blindly do this." Wait a minute? He not seriously going to do this right?

"Okay, okay." Took a deep breathe. "Will throw out the kids off the list. The pregnant bitch will wait like a week or two. Have baby moment-"

"A year or two."

"I'm the boss here!"

"I'm the non-employee here who can walk out."

"Okay a damn year! Actually could pay extra for that." Blitz tap his face and wrote out the notes of the side. "Will come back to that. Same with the teenagers. Will you sign now?"

"How you getting us through."

"You don't need to worry you little ass off."

"I'm not worry." Lean over. "I'm being smart and not risking me life. Or time with this."

Blitz stared at him and glance to see the woman imp was gone. Lean down. "Look I'm taking care of it. Made a small deal with a creepy bird for a book."

"What deal?"

"Will you relax? It's my business deal that won't affect you or anyone else. Just me." Blitz eyes narrowed and see the serious side for a few seconds. Then drop. "Just trust me on this Moxxie."

Moxxie stared at Blitz for a long time. Then a hit with certain memories.

Stolas.

That stupid yet wonderful book.

Family and business drama.

Death

Great he'll need to see how that talk goes. His mind went to the book. Maybe if he could later on-No, that's risking it. But neither one was happy about it later on. Plus, he has his own work. Space. Sure could make time. Or not do it. Glance at Blitz face.

Where Fizz and Barbie Wire? Where your mom?

Questions Moxxie should know. But can't remember. Or want to remember. Questions he doesn't want to ask Blitz right now and the reaction he will get. Questions that probably won't mean anything now or change.

"I want to Blitz. But there too many loopholes. Too many questions. "Moxxie stands up and take a sip of his own drink. Jump off the chair and pull his scarf up. "I wish you luck. I really do. You always had this potential to go big. But I can't follow right now."

"Look. Look. Let's sit down and talk about this. Heck! I'm actually please to have a business talk! Hey Bloody a bottle here!!" Blitz tail grabbed Moxxie and pull back up on the seat. Spin him around on the chair and grinned at the twitchy look.

Music?

Moxxie now in a musical number. One of the few things these can't be change out the codes.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Frick!

"Right here, right now
I put the offer out
I wanna chase you down
I know you see it."

Blitz pointing at Moxxie and catches the bottle Blood Drop throws him. Pours them shots.

"You run, with me
And I can cut you free
Out of the drudgery and walls you keep in."

Moxxie rolled his eyes and take a sip of his drink. While Blitz drank his fast with no problem. Pour another shot

"So trade that typical for something colorful
And if it's crazy, live a little crazy
You can play it sensible, a king of conventional
Or you can risk it all and see."

The taller imp waves his arm outward and gulped the shot down, before getting up and spin around. Then was staring at Moxxie with a huge grin.

"Don't you wanna get away
From the same old part you gotta play?"

Blitz pulling the chair and spin it to look the other direction with Moxxie on it. He was stunned and watch Blitz dance around him. Impressive footwork and spins. Moves with the flow of the beat.

"'Cause I got what you need
So come with me and take the ride
It'll take you to the other side"

Spin the chair back and Moxxie looking back at the bar counter. Then back at Blitz who was leaning against a counter. Like he was posing and grinned big at him.

"'Cause you can do like you do
Or you can do like me
Stay in the cage, or you'll finally take the key
Oh, damn, suddenly you're free to fly
It'll take you to the other side"

Blit spinning around till he was sitting back in his chair by Moxxie side. Resting his head against his hand while his other hand grab Moxxie drink.

Moxxie gap and eyes narrowed at him.

"Okay, my friend, you want to cut me in
Well I hate to tell you, but it just won't happen."

Duck down before Blitz arm could pull him to his side.

"So thanks, but no
I think I'm good to go
'Cause I quite enjoy the life, you say I'm trapped in"

Spin his chair around and jump off. Not turning around to look at Blitz frown at his direction. Then turn back to a smile when he turns back around.

"Now I admire you, and this whole show you do"

Blitz grins as Moxxie points at him. Then began to walk off to head at the door.

"You're onto something, really it's something
But I live among the swells, we don't pick up peanut shells
I'll have to leave that up to you"

Stop and spin around. Rush towards him. Blitz eyes widen and ready to capture him. Thinking he was running to his arms. But maneuver around him to jump on the chair. To jump on the counter. Blood Drop quickly move the cups away.

"Don't you know that I'm okay
With this uptown part I get to play?"

Stare down at Blitz and spins on the couter. His own little dance foot routine. His scarf and small ponytail flowing along. His tail wrapped securely around himself.A bit impressive with having just hooves.

'Cause I got what I need
And I don't want to take the ride
I don't need to see the other side"

Spun around as he crouch down and look at Blitz.

"So go and do like you do
I'm good to do like me"

Swipe his hand in the air and jump down from the counter. Back to the ground. Fix up his scarf and pressed his glasses back up

"Ain't in a cage, so I don't need to take the key
Oh, damn, can't you see I'm doing fine?"

Think back on the good times. Shake his head a bit. Afraid of what new can happen. But a part of him doesn't want to let it go.

"I don't need to see the other side"

About to walk off till his scarf was lightly grab.

"Is this really how you like to spend your days
Tired and misery, with rules to follow?"

Moxxie rolled his eyes and turn around to stare at Blitz. Face slightly softer on his face. Mentally shake his head. Hope to convince he wasn't worth it. Blitz can do better.

"If you were mixed up with me, You'd be the talk of the town
Disgraced and disowned, another looser in your palm"

"But you would finally live a little, finally laugh a little
Just let me give you the freedom to dream
And it'll wake you up and cure your aching
Take your walls and start 'em breaking
Now that's a deal, that seems worth taking
But I guess, I'll leave that up to you"

Blitz drop the scarf and turn around. To take a few steps back at the bar. Moxxie stared at his form. Glance at the door and back. Close his eyes. Thoughts. Plans. Major headaches to come. Turn back around.

"Well it's intriguing, but to go would cost me greatly"

Blitz head back up and turn. Surprise in his eyes.

"So what percentage of the show would I be taking?"

Moxxie walks over and stare up at him. Blitz let loose a smirk.

"Fair enough, you'd want a piece of all the action
I'd give you seven, we could shake and make it happen"

Hand out to shake. Moxxie rolled his eyes and arms crossed. May not care about the money but will make sure for others.

"I wasn't born this morning, 18 would be just fine"

Blitz gap and point at him.

"Why not just go ahead and ask for nickels on the dime?"

"15"

"I'd do eight"

"12"

"Maybe nine"

"10"

"Who paying?" Blood Drop asked between the pair.

"I um where is it." Blitz searching for his wallet

Moxxie rolled his eyes and place the money on the table. "Covered."

"Aww so sweet." Blitz grinned and grab one of the two last shot

"Watch it." Grab his own.

Both took a sip and slam it down together.

"Don't you wanna get away
To a whole new part you're gonna play?"

Both of the dancing in the weapon shop in sync.

"'Cause I got what you need"

Blitz grinning at Moxxie. Moxxie couldn't help but let out a familiar grin as well.

"So come with me and take the ride
To the other side
So if you do like I do
So if you do like me
Forget the cage, 'cause we know how to make the key"

Both of them flipped on the ground and threw themselves back on their feet.

"Oh, damn, suddenly we're free to fly
We're going to the other side"

Dance around merrily in the shop. Both excited and thrilled with their own reasons.

"So if you do like I do (To the other side)
So if you do like me (We're going to the other side)
'Cause if we do like...
We're going to the other side
We're going to the other side"

Spun with each other and slid back in their seats. Moxxie glance at the contract and pulled in over. "We are fixing this contract."

"Yeah, yeah but the doodle stays."

"Whatever sir."

"Sir? You know what I like it. You call me that for now on."

"Don't push it."

"Ha! You defiantly will! Let's work on this bitch ass paper together!" Blitz wrapped his arm around Moxxie. But not in a shoving or fierce manner.

Moxxie rolled his eyes but please to not crash again. Glance at the contract and twitch. "Sir."

"Yes?"

"Remove your tail around my tail. Before I twist your tail like a balloon animal."

"Is it sad I found that hot?"

"What? Why is that hot?"

"Oh gosh you're oblivious too! Got the best catch ever!"

"Huh?"
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Done!

Blitz is now here! Hurray! To be clear and was many chapters back. Moxxie has met Blitz but were little 'innocent' brats back then.

Alcohol barely does anything to Moxxie.
