Damien was very pleased with his progress lately. He had full benefits as a client of the law firm. He had his own company. He had devoted followers in other cities. Ohh! And he had made quite a few interesting new friends lately. He had even gotten a free toy, the muggle named Logan.. the shy, timid, inexperienced eighteen-year-old.. who was gradually becoming the opposite of those descriptions. The human mind was so easy to influence.
A few implanted thoughts disguised as one's own desires, the sense of touch, chemical reaction in the brain, as well as Damien's skilled hands and mouth.. well, it was easy. He had also put something in his head, something that his followers had: loyalty and devotion.
And of course, there was his deceiving of the mind of Sidney Jenkins. Damien knew people, he knew sins.. and as proxy, he knew things, personal things, of those that had committed them. This made it easy for him to make Sid believe he was this Tony, along with the odd situation of looking just like him.
And now? Cassie, a woman from Sid's past, was here. He wondered how easy she would be to lead along. But that wasn't all! Oh no.. it wasn't. Tony. Yes, the man himself was here! Damien just had to meet him soon.. he did so many sinful things before, had great control.. but there was that pesky problem, human emotions, caring for his sister and girlfriend. A pity.
So, telling Logan to stay in the room, with the promise of a good time later.. he left. Five minutes later, there was a ding, and the metal elevator doors parted. Wearing a dark coat over his all-black clothing, Damien walked out into the lobby.
He saw a blond girl who looked lost. Ahh, that must be hear. He smiled at her as he approached. "Cassie? Is it really you.. you're here in California?"
