Death Among Us

Her beauty took my breath away. “You look amazing.”
“Thank you Michael, this is a wonderful gift!”
He inclined his head towards her. “You have love in your heart. That’s what made this possible.”
“Hey, what about me? What did the Almighty decide for me?”
“For you, I give this.” He reached into his suit jacket and pulled out a tiny scroll. “This is a release from the deal you were bound to when you left Eden.”
I held it like it was a piece of gold. “You’re not screwing with me are you?”
“No, I am not. Next time you see Veronica, you may want to thank her. This was her idea.”
“Veronica survived?” That was fantastic news.
“Yes, and she is ready to come back to Earth.” He looked at his watch. “It is time for me to return, but again, thank you both for all that you have done. Until we meet again, God speed.”
And with a flash, he was gone.
Epilogue
Roxanne and I landed on our feet in the city of Brotherly Love, Philadelphia. We even opened a detective agency that specializes in some of the grittier cases in the city. Our first few clients came to use just based on what happened with Beelzebub.
Roxanne is kicking ass, especially with her new power. She’s as horny as ever and some days she wears me out to the point of almost no return. I’m not complaining, I love the sex. We even have a bit of an unspoken truce. Turns out she likes women too and on some nights we go out and find ourselves a new date for the evening.
Veronica is still around doing her angel thing. She pops in from time to time and asks for help. Last time she came in, she gave us an ominous warning that we should expect a visit from Dante. I had no idea what that crazy dude was up to, but I knew it probably wasn’t in our best interests.
Other than that, life’s good. Now if you excuse me, I can’t keep my little sex pistol waiting. Last time I did, she used handcuffs on me…
The end… for now
