Devil's Game: An Alastor and Lucifer Tale

Gullible Fool

                     It was getting rather late, the trip to the station hadn't been pleasant not to mention the loss of a friend and he didn't even do it by his own hands, the Police had no one else to put the blame on and so Alastor was arrested for killing two women.  He didn't speak much as he was taken, not that they would believe him anyway but even so, the Dapper fellow kept his smile as Lu made his way inside to stand before the other while in his Cell.  The Devil in human disguise was something no one could ever fathom, only Alastor knew the truth for the moment while looking up at Lu's smug grin.

"Well, this is a surprise, I would have never thought you'd get caught, silly on your part."  Alastor felt something then as he stood up to walk towards the bars and hold onto them while looking at Lu,

"She's gone... you took her soul, what's going to happen to her in Hell?  What will you do to her?"  Confusion appeared on Lu's face as it was odd to see Alastor caring for another in any way, very odd indeed, clearing his throat before fixing his bow tie a bit.

"Well, life in Hell is much like earth only everyone is a Demon and you'll all dead.  Cursed to roam for the rest of your after life to suffer in the pits of booze, drugs, sex and well you get the idea.  As for Mimzy, well, I'm sure she'll do just fine down there."  Of course, Alastor looked confused as he didn't understand what he was hearing but looking around for a moment, even he wasn't sure how to get out of this and it wasn't even planned by Vincent or Lu.  The Devil tilted his head to the side looking at the other as he was smiling and yet it would seem he was sad on the inside,

"Are you, alright?  I can understand the predicament you are in, I wonder, how will you ever get out of this?"  Alastor's gaze locked on the other's, for a moment he could see Lu's eyes shifting to appear as a snake's eye, yellow with black slits, the Radio Host never felt this hopeless and he hadn't fathomed this mistake.  Things were not going according to plan and something told him that if he wanted to get his freedom, he'd have to make a deal,

"Circumstances as they are, Mr. Magne, if you're here then perhaps you want to make a deal with me?  After all, if I'm sent to prison then this little show of yours can't go on?  So what can I do for you to let me out of here?"  The Devil's eyes tinted red then as he could sense the desperation within the other, for the moment, no one else was around and although this was an excellent situation to where he could make the other give up the one thing he was after.  Now was too soon.

"You wish for me to get you out of here scott free?  Hmm, let me think about it~" he rubbed his chin while rocking side to side, Alastor's smile cracked a bit as he could see the other was enjoying this but he remained quiet.  Lucifer snapped his fingers to create the contract from before this time it was in gold print,

"I want you to sign this, this contract stating that you will work for me within the Tavern.  Performing as you would but you're still able to do your Radio Show, sign this and I'll get you out of this Cell.  We can even do a special show together to clear your name up, well what do you say?"  He passed his arm through the bars, Alastor looked at the paper with a sigh, looking at the other as if waiting for a pen but Lucifer grabbed his hand and bringing his finger to his lips to sink a fang into the tip of his finger.  Alastor flinched but seeing the blood well up at his fingertip, he'd go about signing his name to the contract after reading it, sure it seemed that he'd given in so easily but he wasn't done yet.  He wasn't out of the game and he would rise against Vincent and the Devil if it was the last thing he'd ever do, once the contract was signed and Lucifer grabbed his hand once more.  The Devil slid his serpent tongue out to lick around his finger, the feel of his tongue made the Radio Host shudder while Lucifer snapped his fingers and his powers influenced all who were in the station.  They knew of what happened but no longer held Alastor accountable, the Cell was opened and the two gentlemen left the station, walking side by side down the streets of New Orleans until they came upon his home.  A simple manor, nice and homey next to other homes, even with Alastor's other activities, he had been able to play the nice Radio Host and allowing the Devil to enter his home while he removed his coat and slumped onto the couch.  Head hung down with his hair hiding his eyes as he removed his glasses, one probably thought he was sadden by Mimzy's death, maybe guilty that it had been his fault but all in all, the Radio Host didn't like to lose and this had been a set back.  Now he was bound to the Devil again, as Lu entered his home to walk about and take in the decor, there weren't any photos besides those of Alastor and his hunting prizes or working at the Radio Station.  So normal and cozy, it was hard to believe such an interesting mortal lived in such a normal home,
