memories.
    N ow was not the right moment for anything hell related. His adopted family were inside the house and two of his followers were circling the property on lookout. There were too many potential witnesses and he couldn't afford for any of them to start asking questions about hell beasts or question why one of them might want to bend his ear.
    He didn't know what the beast wanted, but he knew it was friendly. He knew that because he was Lucifer, the greatest being to ever grace hell or earth. No hell spawn would dare fuck with him.
    This creature was probably bringing news and Lucifer's curiosity got the better of him.
    He told his men to take off, shaking each of their hands and thanking them for their service to the cause.
    When they finally left, he took a walk around to the back yard and stepped behind the garage. He knew the beast would get the hint and follow him back there.
    The beast was larger than most, but Lucifer recognized him. He was eight feet tall with the lower body of a gargantuan ant and the head and torso of an old grey bearded man.
    Jack had called him the Karl Marx ant but that was only because the bushy grey beard looked like the famous Leftist's.
    The Karl Marx ant approached carefully. He held up his human hands as a sign of good will and surrender.
    Lucifer smiled and beckoned him closer. This had better be good or he'd rip the monster limb from limb and cast him back into hell forever. And when he returned to his rightful home, he'd inflict even more punishments on the ant. No one wasted his time, not even his closest allies.

The Band's Back Together
     
    Jack stared at the thin young woman, unconscious on the sofa. They'd brought her back to their hideout for safe keeping. She hadn't stirred yet even though they hadn't exactly been gentle with her. The werewolf had crushed her against the side door the entire drive back and Jack had accidentally bonked her head as he pulled her out of the car. She'd have probably been better off if they'd just left her alone.
    She looked young, maybe early to mid twenties. Her hair was auburn but it was matted in angel blood at the moment. She was slender and fit, and pretty enough for a girl who'd been living like a vagrant for the past month.
    Dick-eyes was busy setting up perimeter sweep shifts for the hell spawned creatures that had recently become a part of Jack's group. They'd found him and Dick-eyes as they searched the city streets of Chicago for the rape victim to be.
    At first, the sight of them put him on edge and he was certain he was in for a fight, but then he remembered some of them from his past life; they were here to help. They'd helped him in his past life rescue his son and he not only owed them a debt of gratitude, but he knew he could trust them with his life.
    They had all died for his cause then and they'd do the same for him now. It was reassuring to know that.
    How they'd found him without drawing any unwanted attention to themselves was nothing short of a miracle because they looked exactly like what they were: Beasts from hell.
    Getting them back to Wisconsin was a problem but Dick-eyes stole another vehicle and they each brought a load back with them. Each vehicle was packed like a clown car, but with hideous hell borne beasts and one skinny unconscious girl.
    They were lucky the cops didn't spot them and pull them over. Or was it the other way around?
    The werewolf was there and the pig, and the hyena too. The small bat-mobiles (bats with wheels for legs) rolled lazily along the ceiling, fast asleep.
    They'd had to house the white tiger in the bathroom because of its blow-hole on its back that spewed out a thick blood-like substance all over the damn place.
    He put the stupid goatraffe in the tool shed out back but only because it was a frickin' douche bag. All it did was say fuck off and spit at you. It was basically useless in battle.
    The clones were absent, which made sense because why would he need them on this mission?
