Summary: Demon interlude between the crossroads demon and the demon Lathos. I gave the crossroads demon a name, Pacisca, because it gets tedious typing ‘the crossroads demon’ every time.
A/N: Lathos is a lawyer/accounting demon I created for my story Red Tape. This story has nothing to do with that story except that I like the idea of a demon bean counter keeping track of all the deals made in Hell. Lathos makes sure everyone holds to their deals including other demons.
The other chapters are here:

Chapter 5: A Demon Interlude.
Pacisca, the crossroads demon, called to her hound. The black dog was as big as a tiger and ten times as deadly.
“That’s my good boy.” Pacisca scratched him behind his ears. “Are you ready to go get that awful Dean Winchester? Yes you are, yes you are.”
She gave the hellhound one final pat and he disappeared.
“See, now that was just nauseating.”
“Lathos, what are you doing here?” Pacisca whirled to face the glowing red demon.
“You are about to collect one of the most coveted souls this decade.” Lathos announced as he sailed into the collections room. “Dean Winchester did, after all, kill ol’ yellow eyes. I never did like that demon much,” Lathos sighed. He took one of Pacisca’s hands in his and patting it he added. “I just wanted to be here to congratulate you on your triumph, my dear.”
She grabbed her hand away and wiped it on her thigh. “Sure Lathos and I just want to pet kittens and ride unicorns. What are you really doing here?” Pacisca demanded.
“This is a day of celebration. I am sure others will be showing up as soon as the word spreads that the Winchester boy is on his way. His father provided such good entertainment. Shame he was lost.”
Pacisca stiffened at the mention of John Winchester. That entire hell gate incident had been a disaster to her clan. Dean’s deal had been the one positive to come out of it and she was damn sure going to take all the credit.
Lathos was right. Other Demons and hell spawn were gathering to await the arrival of Dean Winchester.
Where was that damn dog? Pacisca was starting to worry. when the black shape finally appeared, he was alone.
The dog bowed down at her feet and sent her images of searching and failure. The soul of Dean Winchester was nowhere to be found.
“What!?” She whirled on Lathos. “Did you have something to do with this?”
“No Sweetums, I was as anxious as you to see our new arrival. If he’s missing it has nothing to do with my end of the deal.”
Pacisca stared at him. Crap, she actually believed him. “If Dean is missing do I get to collect Sam instead?”
“You didn’t read the contract did you?” Lathos shook his head and muttered, “Collection demons, and you wonder why you never get ahead.” Louder he added, “No, you can’t have Sam. Dean would have had to actively cheat the deal as specified in the contract. I would know if that happened.”
If the deal was still in tact, then where the hell was Dean Winchester? Pacisca wondered.
