“Dad, look at what I drew,” Serenity said showing Ryan a picture of a field.

“You are quite the artist,” Ryan said taking the picture and looking at it. “It can go on the fridge,” he said placing a magnet on top of it.

“Papa made something too,” She said as Shane walking over and handed Ryan a picture of a demon stick figure.

“Really Shane?” Ryan said taking it.

“It’s a self-portrait.”

“Yeah, it is.”

“I know Papa is a demon,” Serenity said. “He showed me his black eyes.”

“Did he? Were you scared?” Ryan said picking her up.

“Nope,” she said shaking her head. “He’s my papa and I love him,” she wrapped her arms around Ryan. “Were you scared, Dad?”

“I was,” Ryan said.

“You should have seen him, Ser. He went nuts. He trapped me in a salt line. I was desperate enough to eat his salsa chips,” Shane said.

“You demon eyed me and I hardly knew you,” Ryan said.

“But you did kiss me,” Shane said tapping his cheek. Ryan kissed Shane’s cheek.“You are sweet.”

“Serenity, will be placed in a foster home until she is adopted,” Keith said.

“Oh, I was thinking. I could adopt her,” Ryan said. “I think she likes staying at Shane’s place and I live there so...” he tried to convince Keith.

“Ryan, there’s a lot of paperwork and we would have to evaluate you. You would be a single parent. Any partner you marry will be subjected to the same level of evaluation” Keith said looking at Ryan.

“I’ll do it,” Ryan said. “I’ll adopt Serenity.”

“I’ll get the paperwork started. We will be interviewing Serenity and you. If there is any hint that she doesn’t want to be adopted, we are placing her in a foster home.”

“That’s fine with me.”

“So what do you think?” Shane said walking down to the living room to show Ryan his clothing choice.

“It needs work,” Ryan said combing Serenity’s hair. “I think you should wear the jean jacket.

“Fine,” Shane said marching up the stairs.

“What is Detective doing?” Serenity asked as Ryan put her hair in a ponytail.

“He’s going on a date,” Ryan said going to the sink to wash his hands so he could make dinner.

“I thought you two were dating,” she said shifting her weight in the chair.

“No, I’m his roommate,” Ryan said. “He just gets me through tough times.”

"What is your greatest fear of being a demon an a hunter?"

"I'm scared of sending myself to hell instead of the other demon."

Shane laid in bed with the blanket pulling into a roll. Ryan and Shane made their pillow wall between them. Ryan was passed out his hand was under the wall as if reaching for Shane's hand. Shane held onto Ryan's fingers.

What was he going to do? He wanted to pull Ryan into his arms. Ryan hardly talked about how he felt about finding his neighbour dead. Shane’s action didn’t help. He felt distant from Ryan. “Oh, Ryan,” Shane whispered and pulled the pillows away from his face. “Oh, Ryan, Oh, Ryan,” he said reaching over and pushing Ryan’s hair out of his face.

He pulled away when Ryan moved over to his other side. Shane laid there looking up at the ceiling for half an hour before looking at the balcony sliding door. There was a person outside, “Ned?” Shane said sitting up and swing his legs over the edge of the bed. Ned moved away from the door so Shane could open it.

“Sorry to bother you,” Ned said. “Do you have a few minutes?”

“Sure,” Shane said walking out to the balcony.

“Ryan and Serenity will be okay alone?” Ned said leaning on the railing.

“Yeah, Ryan has the pendant and there's a salt circle around Serenity," he sat down on the deck chair. Shan rubbed his hair in frustration.

“So do you have any game plan for these demons?” Ned said.

“No, I don’t,” Shane said. “In the past, I kind of just travelled everywhere; I didn’t have to deal with something like this,” he rubbed the bridge of his nose.

“It’s Ryan,” Ned said

“What?”

“You are still in love with Ryan,” Ned said sitting on the deck railing.

“I’m not a high school girl. I don’t have crushes on people,” Shane said crossing his arms.

“I’m not calling you a high school girl, but you are acting like one,” Ned said. “Do you think...you could leave this town?”

“Why?”

“It seemed that the demons are killing people who look like Ryan or people Ryan knows. Because of this, a kid without her parents,” Ned said.

“I’m not leaving Ryan alone,” He said raising his voice at Ned.

“Shhh..” Ned said.

“Shane?” Ryan said opening the door. “What are you doing out here?’

“Huh,” Shane said turning around and seeing Ryan leaning against the sliding door. “I...how long have you been standing there,” Shane said looking back at the railing where Ned had been. He was gone.

“I hear talking and saw you on the deck,” Ryan said reaching his hand out to Shane. “You should come back in. It’s not safe,” he said taking Shane’s hand and pulling him in.

“Ryan,” Shane said as he let go of his hand.

“Yeah?” Ryan said going back to his bed.

“I’m going to check on Serenity,” he said, but the salt around the door would prevent him from going in.

“Okay,” Ryan said as Shane left the room.

Shane checked up on her, but never went back upstairs. He went to the kitchen and leaned against the counter. “How was Serenity?” Ryan said walking into the living room with his phone in his hands

“Huh,” Shane said looking up.

“You can’t sleep?”

“Yeah,” Shane didn’t need to sleep, but he liked doing it.

“Is there something bothering you?” Ryan said putting his phone into his sweatpants pocket.

“It’s nothing,” Shane said.

“Okay, but if you want to talk you know I’m here,” Ryan said. “We are detective partners and demon hunters.”

“Thanks, Ryan,” Shane said. “You should do the same.”

“Thanks,” He said.

"O fuck me," Shane said under his breath as they started walking towards the house. There was a demon in the house that they were about to enter.

“Did you same something?” Ryan said looking back.

“I don’t feel so well,” he lied, but held onto his stomach and put his hand on his mouth.

“Oh,” Ryan said putting his hand on Shane’back and arm. He rubbed Shane’s back to comfort him. “Come on let’s get you back into the car,” he said. “It must be food poisoning.”

“I think so,” Shane said as they got into the car.

“We should just go back to the motel room. You look a little white and you are sweating,” Ryan pushed Shane’s bangs from his face.

“Here, I’ll leave this here,” Ryan said putting the trash can next to the bed. “I can’t believe you got sick.”

“Yeah, tragic,” Shane said laughing.

“Are you feeling better?”

“A lot better,” Shane said.

Ryan fell asleep in the chair watching TV. Shane got out of bed and took the motel and Ryan’s car keys. He got into the car and starting to drive to the house.

The demons on Shane's shoulders are called depravity and tribulation.
