of bullets and stop firing. The door suddenly opens and Sean blasts me with USAS-12 automatic shotgun. I fly back off of the porch and land on my back.
“You a vampire or a werewolf?” Sean asks while pointing his shotgun at my prone form.
“Neither.” I reply as I slowly get up , dust myself off, and disengage my helmet.
“I’m a representative of Niflheim and I’m here on behalf of its Prince.” I inform him.
“Do you have any proof of that?” Sean questions without lowering his shotgun .
“They don’t hand out badges, if that’s what you’re asking. I do have this, though.” I answer, unzip my jacket, and lift up my shir t to show him my right pectoral; Sean lowers his shotgun upon seeing the ethereal silver of the Haglaz rune.
“Well, come in and we’ll talk.” Sean replies an d turns to walk into the house.
I follow him in, past a grand foyer, down a hall, and into a large kitchen with island bar style seating in the center of the kitchen.
“Sorry about shooting you; can I get you something to drink.” Sean asks.
“A glass of water would be nice. Don’t sweat it; I understand that you were just trying to protect your family from a perceived threat.” I reply as Sean walks over to the refrigerator.
“So what does the Prince of Niflheim need from me?” Sean inquires as he passes me a bottle of Fuji water.
“He needs your assistance in planning a Halloween/ birthday party that will double as a surprise proposal to his girlfriend.” I explain and then one of the guards comes into the kitchen.
“Mr. Combs, four squad cars are here about the gun shots and they’re demanding that you come out.” The guard explains. Sean sighs and shakes his head in response.
“Don’t worry; I’ll handle this.” I say before heading down the hall and out the door.
I pull out my Agency badge as I walk towards the open gate. I see a total of eight officers, six with guns drawn and pointed at me. One of the officers sees my badge and orders the others to stand down.
“Easy, officers. There are no problems here and all of the reported gunshots were fake calls.” I report as I show the lead officer my badge. His partner runs my badge into the computer in the squad car and comes back.
“Th e badge came back with instructions for PD to ignore any situation he’s involved in unless he requests assistance.” The partner whispers. The commanding officer looks me up and down for a moment.
“We apologize for the intrusion. Have a good day.” The head officer says and motions for everyone to leave. I wave as the cars drive off before heading back into the house.
“The police have been dealt with and it should keep the media off of the incident as well.” I inform Sean.
“So the Prince needs to throw a kickass party? That is something I can help with.” Sean says with a smile .
“Good! I’ve been asked to take you to the Underworld to meet him.” I reply.
“How are we getting there?” Sean asks.
“We’ll be porting there. It’s like teleportation with an added feeling of falling.” I explain.
“How does it work?” Sean inquires.
“I don’t actually know. Just grab onto my arm, I’ll touch the rune on my chest, and it’ll take us there.” I reply.
Sean hesitantly grabs my left arm and I touch my Haglaz rune. We appear in Jason’s bedroom as Sean looks slightly stunned. Jason appears with a swirl of black mist a moment later.
“ Sean! So glad you could make it! I’m Jason, Prince of Niflheim; let me show you what you’ll be working with.” Jason says and exits the room.
Sean and I follow him down the hall, past Reyna’s room, and out onto the balcony that overlooks the gigantic, walled rear courtyard that contains a ten foot tall fountain in the center.
“This is where we were planning on having it. I assume that Cole has already told you what I need your help with. And how does Afterlife security sound for your efforts?” Jason asks.
“Why would I need security in
