Zack Barnes, a world-renowned Demon hunter has helped many families and businesses with their demonic problems. He is an Instagram and Snapchat sensation because of all of the facts about the spiritual world, and his good looks. The platforms help him with this, often dangerous, world. He always works his hardest to banish the demons back to Hell, but sometimes during the exorcisms, the demon goes from the object or person that it was previously attached to, to Zack himself.

Now the 33-year-old man always cleanses himself and his best friend Aaron before and after every job that they do. Yet the demonic buggers still stay attached.

On this eventful night, the duo was in Nevada at a haunted pizzeria. The demon that keeps itself in the basement refuses to be removed. The demon has caused two fires on two separate occasions after different priests have tried to exorcise the demon out of there. The demon has been scaring customers and the family staff.

The demonic entity has to go.

Zack and Aaron were called in, and after 6 hours of straight exorcisms, the demon detached itself from the basement and followed Zack home.

The worst part is that Zack has constantly been on the road for the past three weeks. Helping people, killing demons, it's what he does.

So more than one demon has attached itself to Zack. His dog, Gracie, and his personal assistant Cece have been suffering as well. Cece has been staying in Zack's mansion for the past two weeks, receiving his calls and emails for help, and taking care of Zack's property. And Gracie too.

"I'll see you after Monday, okay Cece? You deserve a break." The dark-haired man said to the woman standing in his kitchen. Her almond eyes and black hair make her serious, businesswoman persona work.

"If you say so, Mr. Barnes. If you need me, beep me." She smiles at her boss of three. Zack nods his head back to her and walks into his living room to greet his puppy. The collie jumps up on to his lap as the man sits down in front of his large TV.

"How is ya doing Gracie? Did you scare anyone this week while out on your walks?" The docile dog sits in content as her owner scratches her neck around her bright pink collar.

Zack takes a moment of silence to sit with his dog. The only constant in his house. Sure, he has Cece and his mom, but no one understands him like his little girl.

"I have to go and shower Gracie, I'll be back." Zack rubs the black spot around his dog's eye.

The man stands up from the couch, pads through his house in socks, locks his front door, and goes up the grand staircase. Zack takes a shower and falls asleep for 12 hours. Zack's health has been deteriorating over the next few days and the only person that does anything about it is Cece on Tuesday.

"Boss," She scolds, "I won't have a job if your dead. Go and rest while I call the Father to come and cleanse you and your house." Cece scolds Zack like a child. Zack has his messy hair in a black beanie, his red and irritated eyes stair back at his assistant.

Cece and Zack held a stare off across the counter. The tall man is sitting down in the tall stool as Cece has wedges on. Zack's already pale body has just completely blanched as he ran to the nearest garbage can and threw up the water he just drank.

"That's it, you're going to bed. Now." She rushes over to her boss and rubs his back. Gracie just sets her head on Zack's lap.

"C, I'm always in my bed." Zack knows that he is getting very sick too. Cece then leads Zack to one of his guest bedrooms so that she can clean his master bedroom.

The man lays down, his black pajamas stick out like a sore thumb against the cream-colored sheets. Zack is asleep in minutes, and Cece gets to work. She first calls Zack's go-to priest for cleansings. The next priest that specializes in exorcisms was able to get on a plane that day and arrive at Zack's house in mid-morning the next day, Wednesday.
