Horns to Hold Her Halo

   Lilith slammed the large warehouse door with a resounding *KLANG* She stormed across the concrete floor, her heavy boots making clunking noises as she went. Serge looked up from the blade he was grinding. The cigar that hung in the corner of his mouth fell to the floor. Cyrus turned from the screens he was so intently at and watched her walk angrily towards the table. Lilith threw her stuff on the floor and banged her fists on the table cracking it down the middle.

     "Wanna tell us about it, missy?" Cyrus said taking his reading glasses off and leaning back in his chair. 

Lilith slumped down in the chair across from Cyrus. She leaned forward causing her long red hair to fall in front of her face. Serge had made his way over to the table and knelt down next to her. He slid his large finger under her chin, pulling her face upward so she was looking at him. He could see the anger flashing in her eyes. 

     "Did that piece of shit hurt you?" Serge said brushing a piece of hair back from her face. 

Lilith smiled and cocked an eyebrow.

     "Of course not."

Serge sat on the ground next to her as Cerberus came wandering over from the couch where Aleks was still snoring. 

     "My brother asked me where my allegiances lie, he also claims he has no idea where the demons we've been dealing with are coming from and why they are so strong. Then Michael showed up, that asshole, being protective as usual."

Cyrus nodded and picked up the large, old book from that morning off the table and began flipping through it, 

     "I guess I am just trying to make some sense out of all of this. None of the pieces fit. If my brother has no clue about demons, where the hell are they coming from and why are they so strong? Cy, you wanna work on this?"

Cyrus nodded and waved her away not even looking up from the book. He turned back to the computer and began furiously typing. 

     "Come on Lil," Serge said jumping to his feet. "Let's get those babies clean."

He placed his hand on her back. She stood up and kicked off her boots and walked towards the large open area in the back of the warehouse. 

    "Make sure you heat up the water Sarge. Almost froze them off last time."
