He looked angry as he tried to stand from the chair.He growled and lunged forward.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, Lucifer raised his weapon and pushed the button.

A wire shot out and hit the man who had seemingly lost any good sense he had.

ZzzzAAAAPPP

Zapper’s body jolted as if he had a full on seizure happening.Screaming, with an odd high-pitched sound, he dropped to the floor.His hands rose up and curled into arthritic like fists as his body shuddered.

Everyone there stared down at the now unconscious gang member.

“Damn,” Turbo muttered.

They all looked up at Lucifer.

Shrugging, he turned and handed Dax the taser.“I took that off him earlier in the woods.So that explains his gang name anyway.Zapper.We wanted to use one of his own weapons on him.So, I thought that was as good as any.

The men in the room all laughed.

“So, we get ready for a battle,” Lucifer announced as he pulled his phone out.“Gonna call Demon for more men.”

Della stared at him.“Demon?”

Saint nodded at her.“Yeah, that’s his VP.”

“And your name is Lucifer?”She stared at him.

He raised his head and said, “Yes.”

“Of the Hell’s Guardian Warriors?”she asked.

Again, he nodded.“But we’re not all bad.”He motioned to his little brother.“I mean his call name is Saint and his wife’s name is Pink, of all things.So they are angels for sure.”

Saint shook his head and snorted.“As if...”

“I want a name,” Della replied excitedly.

Lucifer stared at her and cocked his head.“We will call you ...Switchblade.” Then he tapped his finger on his cell screen.

Again, the men all laughed.

Smiling, Della looked up at Snake.

He gave her a nod and whispered to her, “You earned Lucifer’s respect.And believe me, that’s a hard thing to do.”

Turbo and Phantom heard him as they both gave her a respectful nod.Then they knelt and grabbed Zapper under each arm.

“Take him to the barn cellar,” Saint instructed.

They dragged him out through the front door.

Bucky came running in from outside and he made a B-line for Della.

Keeling down, she grabbed him and rubbed his ears.“Where were you, Buck?”

The dog dropped something from his mouth onto the floor.It clanked when it hit the wood.

Snake knelt and picked it up.“It’s a cell phone.He raised it and tapped the screen, swiping his finger along.Pausing, he then growled beneath his breath.
