I watched as the clock slowly came to five o'clock in the cubicle, signaling for my time to get off shift. I stretched, got up and filed all the papers I collected into a folder. I had just spent so many hours going through the demon inventories in the council's record. I had narrow it down a lot from the types of demons I know off the bat would not be able to do this, but the pile was still pretty large from types of demons i didn't know. I would have to cross-reference them with the books at the Magic Box with Theresa.
Yeah, I never thought the day would come where I would actually be cross-referencing demons using Giles's books. I should check in to see if hell froze over again.
Well, the research would have to wait until later. Right now I was suppose to take my shift with watching Cristoff. Izzy told me that she would give Eva something that would let her sleep, because she needs her rest. Which I'm kinda glad for, considering I'm not sure if I would be able to handle watching Cristoff with a sleep-deprived overprotective Eva who it breaks her to see Cristoff in chains. Yeah, telling her to chain up her husband? Far from the best experience I've ever had. But what the hell else were we supposed to do?
I gathered up my things and teleported over to the mansion. Glanced into Eva's bedroom and smiled to see that she was out like a light. Poor kid, she was going through so much with this. Hopefully she'll have a good amount of rest and won't wake up pissed off while I'm in the middle of my watch.
Stepping down into the basment, I could feel it get colder as I walked down the stairs. I could see Cristoff lying in bed, chained to the Acathla statue just to make sure he couldn't get out. It was hard to tell if he was awake or asleep. Well, I would find out soon enough, i quietly walked over to the opposite side of the room, and grabbed the tranq gun that we guarded with. Heh, not that I would be able to aim the damn thing to save my life, but maybe Cristoff didn't know that. Then I crossed over to the bedside and sat on the stool next to the bed and waited.
