“Belial, you’re back sooner than expected.”
“Yes, sir. There was another attempt on her life.”
Lucifer’s eyes narrowed. Taking a seat behind his desk he said, “I’m sure you took care of it.”
Looking down, Belial said, “She’s safe, sir.”
“That’s not what I was meant.”
“The angel got away.”
Clasping his hands together, Lucifer glared at the demon. “Why did you not pursue him?”
“He was drugged, my lord.”
“So because he wasn’t acting on his free will, you thought it would best to let him escape? Do I need to remind you why you’re there?”
“No, sir.” Belial said.
“Deal with it, Belial… or I will have you replaced by someone who will.”
“Yes, sir.”
