The truth

"Don’t you want me to have a company to call my own, like a normal human being?" Ralph inquired.

"I want you, but you are not a normal human being, and besides, no one has a company that catch demons on this entire earth." Deacon replied.

"So are you saying my company burning was a great thing?" Ralph inquired.

"I wouldn’t say that. I know how many diamonds you dig for days just to build that company, but I think it’s time for the company to go. If it’s meant to be, it will be." Deacon replied bluntly.

Ralph stared at him, lost for words. Maybe Deacon was correct; he didn't need a company to accomplish his goal as long as Lucinda was on his side.

"I have found the ho.." Ralph couldn’t complete his sentence. He reached into his pocket for the horn, but he couldn’t find anything.

"What are you looking for?" Deacon inquired, confused.

"I am looking for a horn I kept in my pocket." He replied.

"Ahh!!" Ralph lamented he remembered he had furiously thrown it away when he was scattering through the ashes.

"I have to go and look for it." Ralph stated, attempting to leave.

"Before you leave, keep in mind that you will need intelligent employees to help you create the antidote." Deacon remarked.

"I will get them back." Ralph assured trying to go.

"Wait, don’t forget to take Lucinda with you." Deacon stated.

Ralph sighed and walked to Lucinda, who was sleeping on the floor.

He carried her in his arms, walking to the entrance of the cave.

"I am the queen of the underworld!!" she yelled, looking at him and closing her eyes.

"I know you are." He muttered.

"I will kill Ralph and go back to hell." She stated.

He smirked.

"Silly, I will kill you first." He replied flatly, smiling brightly, thinking Lucinda was being funny.  

He arrived at the ladder and started climbing up the ladder with his left hand while holding Lucinda.

He reached the surface and pushed her out. She landed on the floor on top of the ashes and started waving her hand on top of the ashes, thinking it was snow.

"Gosh." He muttered and lifted her off the ground, dusting the ashes from her head and back when a Lamborghini parked in front of the company.

 A man wearing a blank suit stepped out, followed by two body guards.

Ralph narrowed his eyes at the man. He adjusted his suit, looking around the company. He sighted Ralph and pretended not to see him. Then he turned to his bodyguards.

"You guys did well. I will send the money to your account." The man said, shaking the bodyguards.

Ralph couldn’t hear what they were saying, so he started walking towards them.

"It burned quite well. It’s a good thing you guys decided to use gas." The man remarked, staring at the bodyguards.

"You don’t need to compliment us; it’s our job. We are used to it." They beamed.

"I can’t hear what they are saying." Ralph muttered to himself.
