<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 1.35em;">Chloe with James in living room</span><br/><br/>Chloe smiled when Jacob and her sisters entered the room. When Melinda introduced herself Chloe said, "<strong>This gentleman is Jacob a very close personal friend and that is my sister Tabitha."</strong>As she pointed in Tabitha's direction.<br/><br/>Melinda had already begun reading him when Chloe focused back on them. Suddenly Melinda dropped his hand and declared that he was good and then slipped away trying to hide herself it seemed. Chloe knew this meant that Melinda had seen something she was trying not to reveal.<br/><br/>Chloe told James, "<strong>Well that is good enough for me James, come with me."</strong><br/><br/>She ask Melinda to get her several vials of the potion and she waited at the top of the stairs to the basement until Melinda had brought her 8 vials. She smiled at Melinda and said, "<strong>We will be in the basement for a minute before I can show him Cassie I have to convince him we are "Good Witches", and how better than to show him the very thing we have been fighting."</strong><br/><br/>She looked to James and said, "<strong>Brace yourself the smell is terrible and the look is even worse."</strong><br/><br/>She opened the door and started down the stairs with James. Once in the basement she looked to James and said, "<strong>This is Euynome a Lt. to the demon Lord Sha'kos, our mortal enemy. He is going to tell us some information pretty soon that will allow us to vanquish Sha'Kos and be rid of the demon lord once and for all. Of course there will be others there always are. But it seems Sha'Kos has taken a personal interest in me and my sisters so we are returning the favor. Now as you can see James this demon is locked here in a crystal prison which my sister Tabitha created to hold him. He is quite impotent to do anything at the moment so you are safe here with me. I will demonstrate the method we will use to extract the information from this particular demon, it is really quite simple. As witches we have different potions to vanquish different demons. Since we do not wish to simply vanquish Euynome, Melinda has created a potion that will only vanquish parts of him at a time, which if I understand things correctly will be very painful. Lets see how it works shall we."</strong><br/><br/>Chloe takes one of the vials over and throws it on Euynome's hand, his pinkie finger and the one next to it start to shrivel away, and he begins to scream in pain.<br/><br/>She looks back at James and says, "<strong>Look like it works perfectly. Now Euynome I don't suppose you want to tell me any information just yet do you?"</strong><br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 1.35em;">Chloe, James and Euynome in basement</span><br/><br/>Euynome looks at Chloe with such hatred as he says, "<em>You stupid witch I am going to kill you when Sha'Kos comes for me. I am going to enjoy watching you squirm under the torture I will inflict on you. Hey you, mortal man, I will spare your life if you release me. If you refuse and you side with the witches I will enjoy watching Sha'kos kill you too."</em><br/><br/>James looks at Chloe and then back at the horrible demon and says, "<em>You were right he does stink,"</em>then looking directly at Euynome he says, "<em>I will take my chances with the witches. The way I see it they are the winning team and I don't think you can do anything to change that. If I were you I would be thinking about telling them what they want to know cause I have seen how much of that shit they have cooked up and I would be worried about which body part they are gonna make disappear next."</em>He turned back to Chloe and said, "<em>I have seen enough and this guy's smell is making me sick, can we get out of here?"</em><br/><br/>Chloe said, "<strong>OK James, we can join the others."</strong><br/><br/>She looked back at Euynome and said, "<strong>I would be thinking about what James just said while I am upstairs. He gave me a good idea about what body part to torture next."</strong><br/><br/>Chloe pointed to the stairs and told James, "<strong>Shall we"</strong><br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 1.35em;">Chloe and James in the living room</span><br/><br/>Once out of the basement James said, "<em>I have to sit down. That thing is a demon, OK I get that. What I don't get is why you haven't, what did you call it, .....vanquish...why haven't you vanquished him yet?"</em><br/><br/>Chloe said, "<strong>James I know it is confusing but we have been fighting Sha'Kos a long time and he has made this battle personal as you will soon see. We have to change the way we play the game with him or else he is just going to keep winning. We have to fight fire with fire so to speak. This is not how we usually dispose of demons, but Sha'Kos is no ordinary demon. We are doing what we have to in order to win this war."</strong><br/><br/>James sat for a minute composing himself and then he said, "<em>I don't fully understand this but I believe you are doing what you think you have to in order to beat this demon so I will assist you any way I can. Now what did you mean by, he made this personal and I would soon see that?"</em><br/><br/>Chloe said, "<strong>Cassie Hinks, Lewis' partner, Sha'kos killed her this morning and left her nailed to our front door. She is upstairs in one of our spare rooms. We can not turn her body over to the authorities there would be to many questions about her unexplainable death. This is why we need you. Also the murders on the Vicars family, that was Sha'Kos as well. The Vicar is upstairs in a coma like state which we induced for his own good. We have been protecting him until you could get here and take him to a safe location. As you can see a lot has happen in the past 24 hours and we are dealing with things the best we can but we need your help."</strong><br/><br/>James shakes his head and says, "<em>Damn, Cassie huh? That is to bad, she was a nice girl. I think she should be the first priority, we need to get rid of her body before it starts to smell. Is there any sort of potion you can cook up to do that?"</em><br/><br/>Chloe said, "<strong>I am not sure Melinda is the potion expert we will have to ask her. What about the Vicar?"</strong><br/><br/>James said, "<em>Well I can take him in with me and get him in a safe house, if there are any questions about where he has been I will tell them that he has memory loss and I found him wandering the streets."</em><br/><br/>Chloe said, "<strong>That sounds good. Lets go see Melinda, she is in the kitchen I think with Jacob."</strong><br/><br/>They walk to the kitchen to talk to Melinda.
