When Harriet and Steph were gone, Mike turned to Benjamin. "Actually, there is something I want to talk about..." he told his friend about Harriet and how evil she had looked. Benjamin listened to it and seemed to doubt.
"Look, I know what you're thinking," Mike said. "You think that since I don't trust Steph I don't trust any of them. But Steph is a demon and you can't say that isn't true. Harriet is from another planet. Succubi have a history of being dangerous to humans. Harriet's kind doesn't have that history. I'm not a bigot to anything that isn't human. But Harriet scared me, how she looked, it was unlike anything she ever showed."

"I believe you," Benjamin said. "I hope I can prove to you Steph isn't who you think she is, but let's focus on Harriet. Do you think she will go after those two?"

"She looked serious when she talked about scaring them into submission. The way she grinned..." Mike sighed. "You probably don't want to protect those guys that did this, but..." Mike rakes his hair with his fingers, unsure of what to say next.

"But if Harriet will go through with it and other agents will see her or those two will tell what happened," Benjamin continued, "she will lose the trust of the agents and her entire team is at risk. The only reason Gaia and Steph are condoned as they are, is that an alien ally is leading that team. Because humans are more likely to accept an alien humanoid than a demon." He paused, thinking about it. "You saw the agents? You know who they are?"

"I never spoke to them, I don't know their names, but I have seen them before."

"Let's not mention them to the boss yet, we'll report the vandalizing and then go look for them."

Mike nodded and together they went on their way to the office of mr. Johnson.

"Not any different than an agent who caught a new disease or a demonic parasite," mr. Johnson said. "You are still an agent of our organisation and should be treated as such. Please go to Stuart Greyhill; he is the expert on demons and may know more about timberfae's."
