Demon Knight Page #4

Sons of b*tches.

Ahh!

They drew us into a goddamn

ambush! What are you doing?

- We gotta get outta here.

- The real battle is ahead.

Sir, I-I don't understand.

Now take it.

Ohh!

No!

You're the one, Brayker.

You're the one.

Hey. You got us into this mess.

What are you gonna do to get us out?

We just have to survive

the night.

That's all I can tell

you. That's bullshit.

We're entitled to know

what's going on.

When I came here tonight,

I thought you'd be safe.

There are only five of you.

They need seven.

And then he came

with Bob and the sheriff.

It's like tumblers in a lock.

Everything has to line up.

- Seven stars, seven people...

- Yeah, yeah.

Goddamn it, I'm not making

these rules up!

And I didn't...

I didn't ask for this!

All right?

You wanna know what's going on?

Shall I tell ya?

In the beginning...

God created the heavens

and the earth.

You're talking Genesis.

That beginning?

And the earth was

a formless void...

...and darkness covered

the face of the deep.

But the darkness wasn't empty.

It was full of creatures.

Full of demons.

And they had seven keys

formed into a circle...

...to focus the power of the cosmos

into their hands...

...until God stepped forth

and said...

"Let there be light. "

And there was light.

And He scattered the demons...

and He scattered the keys...

...all across the universe.

Then we fast-forward about

two or three million millennia.

Now the demons are back.

They got six of the keys.

And one day they find

the seventh key here on earth.

To save it, God filled it

with the blood of a carpenter...

...who was being crucified

by the Romans...

...and gave it to a thief

named Sirach.

The blood ins... inside...

is that...

Some of it. Yeah.

It gets used, you see.

Sirach had to refill it.

Bad neck wound.

Talon caught

the artery here.

Most of what's in here now belonged

to a soldier named Dickerson.

Gave it to me in France.

August 23, 1917.

Funny how you remember

the big dates.

Jesus, that...

would make you, uh...

What happens when you

run out of blood?

- They bring back the darkness.

- Just like that?

Just like that.

So...

...now you know.

You feel better?

God, I wish I had

that bottle of vodka now.

I guess I owe you

an apology, Brayker.

You really got

some balls, man.

You're a f***ing hero.

Where's Danny?

What?

Find him.

I'm gonna check in my

room. I'll look in my room.

Danny!

I'll stay here.

Danny?

Danny?

You in there?

Danny?

Do me a favor. Don't scream.

Just hear what I've gotta say.

And then scream.

You're so young. You've got so much

to live for and where the hell are you?

You're stuck in this house.

You're stuck in this town.

There's a great big world

out there, Jeryline.

You should travel.

You can see it all.

I can help you.

You want Paris, Rome, Athens?

You got it.

Course, if you don't help me,

that's a whole other picture.

Come on, let's be real. Brayker

isn't gonna get you out of here, okay?

Brayker can't even

get himself out.

Little secret:

The man's dead meat.

And if you stick with him,

you're gonna end up the same way.

Check this out.

I hate to even think about it.

It's a simple deal, Jeryline:

You let me in, I let you out.

Horrible, isn't it?

You know, it doesn't

have to be unpleasant.

Hell, I'd rather

it wasn't.

All right, I know

what you're thinking.

You give up your soul, you turn

into a demon, you look like sh*t.

Where's the payoff, right?

I'll make you a little promise.

Just give me what I want,

and nothing will happen to you.

Has anyone ever told you

how pretty you are?

I know that sounds like a line.

Lord knows I've used it.

But I mean it. You know, I can

see to it that you stay pretty.

Forever.

Think about that.

All you have to do

is say yes.

Do we have a deal?

Something tells me

you don't trust me.

That's all right.

We'll work on that.

You will give me what I want.

That's just the way it is.

And the sooner you

figure that out, the better.

Any sign of him?

Haven't seen him.

This doesn't make sense.

Anything?

Where's Uncle Willy? I haven't

seen his wrinkled butt neither.

Come on, Bob.

Willy, you son of a b*tch!

Hey, I found the kid.

I bet he found you. Probably

wanted to know what the smell was.

I forgot all about this place.

Willy, you get downstairs now.

You take the kid with you. Tell Brayker

to get his ass and the key up here now!

Let's go.

Go on! Go on!

Okay. Okay.

Leave the bottle.

Party poopin' old b*tch.

Hey...

they hate that.

Brayker!

You in here?

Holy sh*t!

Hi, Uncle Willy.

Poor Uncle Willy!

You look like you've had

a long, hard day.

Oh, goodness!

I bet you could use a long,

hard one. I know I could.

Here you go, Uncle Willy.

Oh, yeah. Oh, Jesus! Try mine.

Oh, my goodness!

Oh, my God!

Uncle Willy,

are you okay?

Try mine.

Try mine.

Suck this one down,

Uncle Willy. Long hard one.

Nothing gets you f***ed up

faster. Am I right, girls?

Am I right?

Here's lookin' at you,

Uncle Willy.

There you go.

There you go.

Have another.

Knock yourself out.

Come on.

Drink more.

Jesus Christ! Those post

office folks were right.

Son of a b*tch! This guy

was reading all our mail.

What the hell?

Sh*t! Wally was

crazier than I thought.

Give me your light, Bob.

Oh, God!

He was planning to take out

the post office for Cordelia.

Well, if he was...

...he didn't have

any bullets to do it.

Whoooo-eee!

Then again...

Willy?

- Danny?

- Ahhh!

No! Stop it!

Oh, yeah! We got

a whole lot of trouble!

- Jeryline! Help!

- Let go!

- Jeryline! Jeryline!

- You will give me what I want.

Hello!

I'm your waiter, Skip.

Our special today

is poached appendage.

Market price, of course.

I recommend the finger food.

Want your arm back, Irene?

I can make it happen.

Is that a yes? No. That's me

giving you the finger, a**hole.

I'll get back to you.

Willy, don't make me do this.

Willy.

Stop!

Please stop, mister!

Please don't

make me do this.

Put him down!

Hello?

Mr. Roach! What

have you got there?

I want out of here,

and I'm lookin' to cut a deal.

- Well, let's talk about it.

- Put him down!

- Stop!

- Jeryline.

You wouldn't hurt your old

Uncle Willy now, would you, baby?

Jesus!

Oh, man!

Sh*t!

- Get the eyes!

- I heard that.

- Get the eyes!

- Get away!

Ew!

Oh, boy!

- How do I know you ain't gonna kill me?

- You have my word.

Frankly, we've been

counting on you, haven't we?

The world needs more people

like you, Mr. Roach.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

You don't mind

if we kill the others?

Hey, if it makes you

feel good, do it.

"If it makes you feel

good, do it. " Exactly.

First things first,

of course.

The blood seal.

Listen,

on a personal note.

Be sure and kill Brayker.

He's a bossy a**hole.

Isn't he, though?

- Thank you.

- That's it?

- Ooh, that's it.

- You ain't such a bad fellow.

You aren't so bad

yourself.

Oh, a pleasure doing business

with you, Mr. Roach.

Well... You know this...
