Evie moaned softly as she was poked by something, shifting a little before her eyes slowly fluttered open. She thought she was still dreaming until she realized the dark eyes had life in them. "Lucas!" She exclaimed before hugging him as tears of joy fell. "I...I thought you were..." She choked.

He stiffened at being hugged, his arms held out straight like he didn't know how to respond. When she finally releases him, he took a step back and messily signed to her, "Lars?"

"He gave himself up so I could go free. I don't think he survived." She replied gravely.

"He told me to call Isaac and wait for you to come back. I told Isaac everything he missed out on. He gave me this after I told him about my scar." She added, showing him the vial.

Lucas frowned at hearing that his friend was gone, but he didn't seem overly distraught. He knew this would happen eventually, after all. He looked at the vial Evie held up, then at her scar.

Suddenly, he crawled onto her bed and plopped himself down on top of the comforter. He knew it would be a while before Isaac was up, and reincarnation was hard work. He took the extra pillow and fluffed it up to his preference before curling up to nap.

Evie chuckled softly at his childlike behavior before deciding to let him have the bed before curling up on one of the chairs and eventually falling back to sleep. She woke up much later to see Isaac awake, giving him a little smile before looking over at Lucas. "Looks like it didn't take long."

Isaac looked over at the small form, currently face down into the mattress. He gave a brief smile and walked over to him.

"Lucas," he put a hand on his shoulder. Lucas's head shot up, and he turned to look up at Isaac. "We need to know what they're planning. Do you have any idea?"

He sat up slowly and nodded. He looked around, then delve into the bedside table for a pen and Bible. He opened the holy book and promptly began tearing pages out of it.

Lucas set the pages on the floor, arranging them in a circle. It was the same arrangement as the X's in the map that Lars had drawn. Lucas drew something on the middle page, then looked up at Isaac. Isaac came over to inspect the drawing.

"A gate?" He asked. Lucas nodded. "A gate...from hell?" Lucas nodded. "To here?" He nodded again.

Isaac looked over at Evie. "You said you saw digging equipment down there. Why are they digging?"

Lucas smacked the paper loudly to get his attention. He then drew a chest that was underground, and a line down to it to signify digging.

"There's a chest down there? A demon chest?"

Lucas nodded. "That must be one hell of a demon if they're going through all that trouble to free it."

Lucas nodded.

"Then we have to stop them before they get to that chest. If the demon is as horrible as you say it is, we won't stand a chance once it's free or has a host." Evie said, looking at the two of them.

"The only question is, how do we kill it should it free? I know Lucas is able to destroy others, but what if he can't handle it? We need a backup plan for the backup."

Isaac looked at Lucas, who just shrugged.

"I don't think letting it get free is an option," He said, turning back to Evie. "If it's capable of opening a gate to hell, we're utterly screwed if it gets out. Out only hope is to keep them from getting their hands on it." He paused, and sighed. "Lars believed that dragging them into the spotlight was our best bet of beating them. The three of us alone don't stand a chance, but with authorities involved, maybe we can flush them out for good. I didn't think the panic it would cause was worth it, but...after seeing all this, I don't think we have any other choice."

"I'll need my laptop from my apartment so I can finish the story and send it to Joe. He'll get it published then everyone will know the truth. It should stop them long enough for us to get rid of the demon before it's set free. But I can't go there, they know what I look like."

"If you tell your boss all of this, he'll probably have you committed," Isaac said. "We need proof, first. You said they stole a demon chest from your apartment. I know you probably aren't particular fond of seeing one again, but if we can get that chest back and have Lucas destroy it somewhere public, with witnesses, then they can't deny that this is real."

It sounded crazy, but it was the only thing he could think of.

"But the chest is with the cult, how are we going to get it out without being seen?" Evie asked before realizing the answer was before her. "No, we can't send Lucas back in, what if they have a trap set up for him? They could capture him again."

"It's our best chance," Isaac said. "I don't like it either, but Lucas can take care of himself. Right Lucas?"

Lucas looked up from where he'd been drawing on the pages and nodded.

"He can probably already feel where the demon is. It'll only take a second."

Evie sighed deeply as she glanced at Lucas, so innocent and childlike to her but she had seen him destroy a demon as well as protect her from one. "Alright. Just...please be careful." She begged softly.

Lucas stood crumpling the drawings under his old boots. He was gone in a flash. After ten minutes, Isaac was getting anxious. He was pacing the floor, checking his watch constantly. Finally, another flash filled the room, and a heavy thunk sounded as the chest hit the floor.

Lucas looked very pleased with himself as he perched on top of it.

"Good, let's get it into the car," Isaac said, hoisting up one side of it.

Evie grabbed the other side with her good arm, giving Isaac a nod in agreement before walking with him out to the car. She knew they were probably going to get some looks since they didn't have the trunk before nor Lucas who just appeared but they didn't have time for that right now. "If we want somewhere pubic, Times Square might be our best chance."

Isaac nodded in agreement as he hoisted the chest into the trunk of the car. "Alright, let's go."

As they drove, he glanced in his rear view mirror a few times. "Are those two cars behind us following us?" He asked no on in particular.

Evie glanced at the sideview mirrors, seeing what he was talking about. "Shit, how did they find us so quickly?" She asked, looking behind them before glancing back at Isaac. "We need to shake them somehow."

Isaac sped up, weeving in and out of cars to evade their pursuers. The two cars behind them followed aggressively. Suddenly, Isaac saw flashing lights as a police car joined the chase.

"Shit," He cursed as he took a sudden turn onto a a highway. Lucas slammed against the car door in the back seat. "Sorry!" Isaac said, trying to focus on getting away. More police cars were joining the chase. This was a real clusterfuck.

"Oh great, as if this couldn't get any worse." Evie muttered before looking back at Lucas. Then an idea struck her; it might be crazy, but it could work. "Lucas, can you teleport us to Times Square? It might be our only chance of losing them."

He shook his head.

"He can't teleport with other people," Isaac said. "We won't survive."

Just as he spoke, a police cruiser pulled out in front of them, blocking them off. Isaac slammed on the breaks and lurched forward as another cruise slammed into the back of the car. He heard a crunch of car parts and wood. There was a loud shriek.

"Oh no," Isaac croaked, his head bleeding from hitting the steering wheel.
