Summary: (Part of a series of shorts) Dante has a job to do that involves the elimination of a demon living in a retirement home in the guise of a mild-mannered elder. What will he do to complete the job without blowing his cover? And why is Nero tagging along?
“Why am I here again?” the youth groaned. He trailed behind Dante as they made their way to a large building; the only things being said to Nero were simple shorts such as ‘It won’t take long!’ and ‘It’s a piece of cake!’ And that kind of peeved him. “If it’s so easy, why do I need to follow you? Unless you count on getting your ass handed to you or something.”
Dante scoffed at Nero’s haughtiness. It was like seeing himself again at every smart comment the kid made. “You will learn a lot from observing a true master at work, kid. That is why I am bringing you along.” Nero rolled his eyes. “Whatever you say, man.”
They stopped a good 15 to 20 feet from the building’s entrance, observing it as if it were a piece of art. Dante seemed in a daze looking at it, making Nero change glances from the building to Dante a few times to see what’s up. “Yeah, it’s a building. Are we going in or what?”
“In a minute.” The elder said, examining the building a few more moments. His hand coursed through his stubble as the thoughts rushed in his mind; a plan formulated. “I forgot to tell you; we have to go in disguise for this mission.”
“…Why?”
“You ask too many questions, you know that?”
“You never told me what the hell we’re doing in the first place!!”
Dante sighed again, pulling at his chin to hide his annoyance. Two can play that game. The ‘I like making you look like a dumbass’ game.. “You see this?” he points to the door. “That is the…entrance…to the retirement home. Say it with me! Re-tire-ment home.”
“And we are here because…?”
“Because there is a demon disgusted as an old man in there and our job is to-“
“Get rid of him.”
“Good job!” Dante feigned an expression that read ‘I is so proud of j00!’, which made Nero roll his eyes in accordance. “It seems like my wisdom is starting to touch people.”
“So how are we going to get rid of this guy?” the boy asked. “We can’t just rush in and get the job done. And I am pretty sure we can’t ask him to leave the area so we can kill him without any witnesses.”
“Glad you asked that question! Took you long enough.” Without warning, Dante spun Nero around and jumped into a bush. “Well, to enter enemy lines without giving anything away, I decided to fight disguise with disguise! Pretty clever if I should say so myself.”
Nero remained silent; contemplating if he should ditch the deranged demon hunter before anything else weird happens. As he took a step forward the other direction, the other man’s voice commanded for the youth to stay put. Defiantaly, Nero turned around to face the bush. “This is such a waste of time! And besides, I bet your ‘disguise’ sucks anyway so why even bot-“
The sight was very ‘WTF?-able’, leaving Nero mouth agape as he stared at the elderly man, dressed in a tropical colored muumuu (a Hawaiian dress), socks accompanied a pair of cream colored Birkenstocks and to top it all off…a wig of the stereotypical grandma. Whatever ‘wisdom’ Dante is going to spread today is no way in hell describable.
“Just call me Grandma Danielle…grandson.”
