Chapter 14

Plan B

Bael

Marching toward Lucifer’s prison house made it hard for Bael to breathe. And to think, if Lucifer had left well enough alone, he wouldn’t have to march, wouldn’t have to fix the mistake his demon boss had made. Bael didn’t know why he even cared, only that he wanted Jasmine to believe him. He wanted her to trust him, as much as she could. Which would probably never be much, but a demon could dream.

None of that mattered. The only thing that mattered now was fixing Lucifer’s mess. A leader who made the worst messes wasn’t a leader at all, at least in Bael’s mind. Instead of ruling, he thought it funny to complicate everything. Bael didn’t mind a complication here and there, but right now, they needed to claim Earth and move on. They didn’t need the Angel Blessed to do that. They didn’t need the Fallen Ones to do that. They didn’t need anyone but themselves and their demon army to accomplish their goal. So why did Lucifer insist on taking them all hostage?

Bael quieted his thoughts. He couldn’t risk his master overhearing him. Bael valued what little life he had.

Now he had to come face to face with the biggest, baddest demon in Hell and put him in his place. Sounded easy enough. Unfortunately, Bael didn’t have a clue what he would say. He had faith that the words would come, though. Probably at the last minute, but that would be favorable to them not coming at all.

Two demons stood guard at the front of the house. Bael raised his chin and strolled up to them like he owned the place. “I hear you’ve captured more prisoners?” He kept the question in his tone, trying to play polite when all he wanted to do was slice these demons’ throats.

The first demon guard nodded. Bael didn’t know either of their names, but names meant nothing to him. Especially names of demon peons who spent their days guarding prison houses instead of fighting the war. These two would be dead and gone by the time it ended, so no need to learn their names.

Bael tried to push past them, but they crossed their arms in the doorway, linking them together in a show of strength. As if that could stop him…but he raised his eyebrows, keeping his cool. “Is there a problem?”

Demon guard two stood straighter. “We have orders to not let you pass.”

Bael tilted his head, eventually forcing a tight smile. Lucifer must have suspected he’d try something like this. Bael supposed he hadn’t given him any reason not to, but it still complicated things. After all, he’d come to release the prisoners Lucifer wanted to keep. Where is my evil underlord anyway? Bael kept the smile plastered on his face. “I work for Lucifer, just like you, except I’m his second-in-command. I suspect you two are way down on the bottom, somewhere about here.” He stuck his hand down toward his feet. “So, now that
