A Love In Dark Times
Chapter 21

-Angie, I think we're lost,” Marco snorted, “all because you can't stand the macho urge.

Relax, these pendulums are reliable, -and the beautiful Angie swung it, -I'm more worried that we're running out of liquc -Marco is right, this looks like a church, -Luis was right, the construction even had religious symbols.

He analysed things, that's the perfect hiding place for these things and although my daughter's qualities were diminish by her slip, she still has a lot of power, although she now has to resort to these devices and if her male hunger doesn't satisfy her, she'll have to resort to others and if not to other types of practices.

The big door opened before their eyes and out came tall men dressed in black, who confronted them.

Get out of here, or you'll be sorry.

“We are already sorry, that you are so few, we shall be longing to wield our swords,” and Angie drew a blaze of fire.

“Wait, girl, you must know that we have diplomatic immunity and if you kill us, you'll get in trouble,” replied one of the m; in black tie suits.

“We know that you demons are infiltrated in everything, in politics, in some churches, in companies and even in schools, said Marco invoking two swords of light.

Calm down, we can come to a happy conclusion, after all, we are business specialists,” said the apparent human.

-Of course, you are demons of pacts,” said Luis and also armed himself.

Business or pacts, it's the same thing, we give something in exchange for something else and it's a win-win, what happer is that there are those who believe that they don't have to pay or that the charge is unfair, what is really unfair is that the judge us, when on no occasion do we force them to ask us for things, we only give solutions and anything goes, everythin costs, nothing is free,” said a chubby man who came out from inside the monastery, who looked like the boss of them all and approached them with a grotesque smile, continuing, -we have the gift, the power to know what people want, not wr they need, look at you Marco, you want to be more powerful when you are already one of the best, you Yaqui want a man who loves you, but who doesn't imprison you, you Angie want your beloved dead and you Luis want a girlfriend, a certain girl, it is something simple, you as warriors are trained to have self-control, what does not happen with normal people wi want to have so much money that they can not spend on a thousand lives or superfluous things and when they have ther they want more things or no longer want what they asked for seeing it as a disgrace, look not to go too far is the reason why you came, the contract of that capo, who feels cheated or swindled, when this one many times wanted to be an agen of chaos, he enjoyed Killing people, he enjoyed destroying cities, sowing panic to enjoy his power filled him with pleasure he even spent money arousing envy, he was already a demon before our pact, we only gave him identity and favoured hir from prison.

“We know that his dealings always have some hidden agenda,” said Marco, tightening his arms.

“No, no, no, no, what happens is that people in their eagerness to get what they want, to have it within reach of a signatu they sign without reading their contracts, something very stupid, it is that ambition blinds them from seeing things, some very obvious like the fact that they are making deals with us, with demons, look at Angie, she is thinking of making a pact so that we bring back her beloved.

-Don't be silly daughter, they do it, what you don’t know is that it would beget other misfortunes like your boyfriend coul come back as a zombie, or not love you or leave with someone else, or some other nefarious thing.

Nefarious? Nefarious is wanting and not being able to have, nefarious is believing that you can have what you want without having to pay a price, either with work or with property.

Enough talk, you know we've come for that contract, give it to us and we'll leave here, without creating a scandal, for the moment we have other matters to finish with your business’ Marco threatened them.

~You shouldn't speak for everyone, look Yaqui already wants her daughter to be pure and prudish like before what happened with that man and Luis wants to be an expert in women, something very complicated, come on Marco, what do you want, we can negotiate, if you only want the parchment, we can negotiate that too.

The deal is simple, their lives for the scroll,” Marco sentenced him.

-All right, you may be right,” growled the demon, pulling out a rolled up sheet of leather, “look at this, the narco’s contrac I don't think it will do him much good,” and he handed it to them, looking at them with his snake eyes.

“We can't leave without cutting off their heads,” Angie complained, swinging her sword.

-If that's what you want we can arrange it and I'll attach it to bring back your beloved.

“Is it true that you are also behind many governments,” asked Luis.

Those are another kind of demons, although there are men that we help to bring them to power, we also have to control the inequality of the world and provide control over the general welfare.

“Is it true that you devalued our currency, Luis asked again?

-It was a masterstroke, that way the narcos are motivated to fill the other countries with drugs to make a lot of money, an kill people there with those vices while those here kill each other for control of those businesses, it is an excellent cycle us, where idiots like that narco, are just a symbol, a figurehead, if that idiot finds a way to save himself, then another one will come along, some thug motivated to have money and power without limits, without knowing that their time is crumbling, even if they get money, their life is devalued, if it is true that with our trickery we create a war that impoverishes them, that makes them kill each other, that their wealth is exchanged for weapons that are manufactured i big countries, while that happens their money is worth less, they export less than what is imported, and it is good for us that they have shortcomings, whether economic or otherwise, there are some who get depressed because they have everything and others who have no time to get depressed because they have to work day and night, the former think the need fun and the latter need money, nobody is happy with what they have, or almost nobody, there are some who are grateful for what they have and that's why they get more things so that they can continue to be grateful being only that price they have to pay and having only what they can manage, what they can spend, I am very sincere, humans should be very happy and live grateful with the fact that they wake up alive, with the fact of having food, of having health, that is what they need and not what they want, like the one who leaves the faithful wife for the ungrateful wench, they devalue their future believing they need shine, they exchange gold for mirrors, rubies for papers, virtues for pride and purity for emotions.

“You're cheap talk, you drive, you're a bunch of tricksters, sellers of smoke," Marco told them, trying to exasperate them. “You're right, its true, yet you can't imagine how many dupes we convince and most of them beg us for our services. -Let's go, we have things to do," interrupted Yaqui.

Yes, keep your part of the bargain, and since I like you, I'll top it off with this box of fine liquors just like the ones you stc from the narco’s house.

“Thank you, but don’t think we'll forget you,” said Angie, taking the box from him.

“That's what we're counting on, remember what you can get, don't forget your wishes and that they are within reach of a signature, we'll be waiting for you.
