Hours slowly began to creep up into the afternoon and throughout the day nothing much exciting had happened. Having been so caught up in work he had almost completely forgotten about the demi-goddess. Mostly he was just sorting out paper work and conversing with his coworkers about a few things here and there. Boring paperwork was inevitable, just like any desk job, and piecing things together for a few cases heâ€™s been working was about as tedious as watching paint dry.<br/><br/>In the past few months there have been a few murders and several kidnappings that all have a similar MO; it seemed to be a serial killer or maybe some gang since it didnâ€™t seem like just one person committing the murders. Deziel was a killer but these were not his doings and it made him wonder if there was another demon in the area that he would have to deal with. This was his city in a sense and he wasnâ€™t going to let someone just waltz on in and do whatever he or she pleased. However, there was nothing preternatural about this case so he could cross that off his mental notes much to his relief. Dealing with another demon would mean risking exposure, something he would much rather avoid fro as long as possible even if he knew he seemed suspicious at times.<br/><br/>â€œKane,â€ he heard a man named Lucas Morbane call to him, throwing a file down on his desk. Kane was what the humans called him, what he told every human he came across his name was, helped him keep a low profile. â€œI need you and Lars here to head out to a house in the slums. Might be connected to the murdersâ€¦ apparently some neighbor called in and said they heard screaming. Normally Iâ€™d just brush it off and let someone else deal with it but the neighborhood happens to be where these murders have been taking place. Maybe itâ€™s another lead, or maybe youâ€™re right and the case is cold. Either way get your ass out there and get to the bottom of this. Sander is your partner today since Zane called in sick.â€ Lucas was not that high up on the food chain but he was high enough to bark orders.<br/><br/>Deziel was not a fan of the guy but the occasions that they had worked together they had seemed to work well and get along. It was rare for him to get along with people, especially when he didnâ€™t really like them that much, but Lucas, you could say, was someone he had a bit of a love-hate relationship with from time to time. Heaving a sigh he gave Lucas a nod and stood from his seat. Another file to look through, he thought as he glared at the file and picked it up, this was turning out to be a fun day. It was better than just sitting around indoors doing absolutely nothing, kept him entertained assuming there was entertainment to be found. He was still in a pretty bad mood thanks to his bad morning and he really didnâ€™t want to do much socializing today.<br/><br/>â€œFine, Iâ€™ll get to it.â€ Without even waiting for a response he gathered a few things and met up with Sander. The man was more prepared than he was, and he apologized to him for it. He hated when things were thrown on him at the last minute. They discussed a few things about the case, Sander filled him in on essential details and then they were off.<br/><br/>However the moment Deziel stepped outside he caught the scent of the demi-goddess; there she was sitting across the street in all her glory. An irritated sigh left him, leaving Sander confused. The good thing about working with Karl Sander was that he didnâ€™t ask questions or pry into oneâ€™s personal life. He kept to himself and did his own thing, even looked like a big nerd depending on what he was wearing that day, today being one of those days. And it looks like, speaking of attire, that the demi-goddess has found a change of clothes. Good girl, he thought, now he wouldnâ€™t have to worry about her being exposed. That would be the absolute last thing he needed since it would risk him as well.<br/><br/>He did his best to pretend that she wasnâ€™t there as he followed Sander to his car.
