No one's gonna take me alive Who: Jonas and Bubbles (OH SHIT SON) Where: The streets of Scarlet Oak When: Afternoon Warning: Probably gonna be violent
You're lost.
Jonas rolled his eyes, reaching down to pet the little spider monkey currently hiding in his messenger bag. "I am not lost, Asher. I've just not been down this road yet." It was bound to happen, because for all of his years in living in the Great Lakes region, he did not know every town like the back of his hand, and he was still new to Scarlet Oak. He was a fast learner, but it didn't happen overnight. One should expect a few excursions like this, and the next time he came through this way, he'd know exactly where he was going.
Pulling his car to a stop, he reached over into his glove box to grab the map he'd left there. Anyone else would have used a GPS or a cell phone, but Jonas did not have either of those things, and the storm outside wasn't helping him figure out his location. Normally the weather didn't bother him, and he loved to watch the rain come down even though Selena hated it, but right now it was more than a little inconvenient. He rolled down his window to see what the nearby street sign said, and that was when it hit him - he could feel a demon nearby, the sensation making the hair on the back of his neck stand up and one of his hands clench into a fist.
Asher squeaked and crawled further into his bag. What was THAT? I have never seen you do anything like that before and it's kind of scary-
Without waiting for the monkey to finish talking, Jonas got out of the car, trench coat flapping in the wind. "Stay here."
But Jonas-
Asher never got an answer. It took everything he had not to summon his ax right away, but to find where the danger was first. Jonas had not crossed paths with a demon since before he'd gone to Celestia, and he'd hoped he could avoid doing so for a little while longer. He was not afraid, though. He was simply prepared.
