“Thank you, and... please trust me as I’m going to be playing this by ear but I know this person very well. So well I fear I might be the only one able to help.” He admitted with a pause, “We are headed to Cincinnati.” It didn’t take much effort for Kane to summon the flames that swallowed them up as the rain poured down on them loud and sudden. It was like being in a full blast shower and he hadn’t expected that he as spotted the phone booth. “I will cast a spell so you can hear everything we say, if I say ‘please Abbaddon’ go ahead and step in.” He said finally approaching the phone booth as Drake stepped out. He looked wet and tired, as Kane came near they paused across from each other. “You came.” Drake said not able to even muster any anger as he stepped closer to Kane.<br/><br/>“I did, what is it you need from me?” Kane asked cautious as he could see the state his ex friend was in was poor at best. He had never seen the other so at the end of his rope. Usually it was Drake pulling him out and fixing him up but Kane stayed in control making no fast moves or assumptions. Drake seemed to shift his stance as he let out a sigh, “It’s good to see you Kane. I’m... I’m ready.” Kane paused, “For what?” Drake seemed to get himself together, “I mean you always threatened it, said how easy it would be. So I’m ready now, I’m volunteering for you to eat my soul.” Kane was dumbfounded his eyes a little round but he didn’t react for a moment.<br/><br/>“No.” The demon shook his head, “What do you mean no? Kane I can’t go on as I am... I’m falling apart I can’t eat, I can’t sleep, I can’t fill this void inside me that’s aching. As a human I have lived a long enough life. Maybe it’s time to pack it in. Make the fucker who made it all worse not have to suffer through another shitty incarnation.” He said looking all the more desperate as Kane shook his head, “Goaddman it! HELP ME!” He grabbed Kane’s coat but the demon didn’t get mad like he used to, he just felt pity and he knew he had to do something. Kane slapped Drake hard across the face, hard enough to leave a mark and suddenly. He had to trust his instinct that he knew what Drake needed it. The vampire was stunned as Kane said, “Focus. I said no boy. You are too precious and important to me.” Drake looked like he was almost in a trance as Kane touched his face, “I know you just want the pain to stop boy. That’s why you need to let your Sir help you. You trust me to know what’s best for you?” It felt like Drake was floating in mid-sub space as he nodded. Kane looked over to where Abbaddon was to wave him over knowing Drake is not a threat in his current state. “I will take care of you.” He told Drake gripping his hair and guiding the other down to his knees on the wet ground and Drake went so willingly. “Yes Sir.” He breathed out like he was relieved.
