Now, everyone in this room has a demon, so the only option is for the demon to double up inside of one of us. He is going to be looking for the best spot with the least restrictions. So I’m going to need you (Katie) to be as prepared as humanly possible to accept the demon so that he doesn’t come running after either of us. Neither of our demons will kick this one’s ass, and combining that one with one of ours could be catastrophic. This demon needs to go to you, no questions asked.” Turning to Garrett. “When the exorcism is complete, you won’t have any memories from when the demon was in your body. You will feel like you just left the fire at the hotel. These last months will be gone. Just know that when you feel like someone is thinking about you out there somewhere, someone is. Damian begins his ritual, the demon is freed, and because Pandora minimizes herself, the demon chooses Katie in which to reside. Pandora kills him, and sends him to Hell, proving herself to be one of the 72.

-Katie was tired of the white dress, so chose some black spandex stuff from the closet of her room. Looked good on her. Pandora approved. They have their first g0-arounds on power. I’ll go right out and get a big bag of Cheetos just to piss you off. You do, and you’ll regret it. I don’t think you even know how to make me regret it. Her legs wobbled and she fell to her knees, clasping her hands in front of her. She had no control over what she was doing. We’ll finish this conversation later.

 Katie and Pandora: The jokes she could ignore, the snide comments about humans she could ignore, but she was losing her mind dealing with Pandora’s sexual proclivities. She was disgusting, and the idea of sharing her body with someone like that made the revulsion that much worse. She wanted to just shut her out of her brain.

 '''Team Training:'''  Katie trained for days, from sunup to sundown. It was strenuous and challenging, and pushed her to the edge every single time. Her team was supportive, though, rooting for her every step of the way.She began to feel better about herself - stronger, leaner, and ready to kick some serious ass. Like a lean bad-ass!
-Then a call came in and  Pandora spoke up!  Well, if it isn’t the fucking female Rambo, Pandora said.Don’t be jealous, Pandy. I’ll let your friends know you said hello.Don’t get too much of a big head.  I’d like to keep this body a little bit longer.Katie smiled.

 '''Katie's first call.''' Paired with Garrett and Calvin. The rest with Korbin.Two teams. There’s a small outbreak and roundup at the junkyard on Forty-seventh and Prim. We’re going to break into two teams.” He nodded. “Katie and Garrett, you’re with Calvin. The rest of you are with me. I want this clean and quick, and no casualties. It was like going out for her first volleyball game—only the ball could kill. Plan:  There are three demons in this yard. My team will take the east half, and Calvin, your team take the West. We’ll mark it when a demon is caught so you know where you stand. Emergencies are 911 on the speaker, with location. If you’re unable to shout, throw up your flare.Calvin told them, I’ll go left, and the two of you go right,” he said. “Any sign, call it out. And be careful out there. Katie nodded and crouched as she and Garrett made their way down the aisles to the right. There was no light in the junkyard, and her vision was still a bit off-kilter. This is Garrett in the northeast corner,” he whispered. “We got one, and it’s big.

New York saw a dark day.” He looked around, “They lost three members last night in a raid in the Bronx. They managed to apprehend four Damned—all too far gone for the teams—but the rest were killed. Bittersweet victory.” If it can happen to a team like New York, it can sure as hell happen to us,”Daniel said.“You are right about that,” Korbin said. “That’s why you train, so train fucking harder, Daniel. We work as a team, and we always take the safe route when we are out there hunting. I would rather watch a demon get away than my team fall.” Long discussion on team camaraderie, moving to a new team, staying where they are, kinds of people they are, and then there are -

They volunteer to be on a team until death or Damned.” And they knew of one who did, and had not yet become infected. Katie thinks of her old life. Yes, she DOES miss it - but this is it for now, and this is what is's going to be. OK to look back, but keep it in its place.

 From the front of the plane, Korbin told them what he knew of the call.This is a little different than normal. There are a bunch of religious nuts out here—some Damned, some not—welcoming the end of the Earth like this is something to celebrate. There are also quite a few demons out here. We’re going to have to split up, pull them away from the civilians, get an understanding of whether they can be saved or not, and then do our jobs. There is supposed to be a coven of Damned just outside the event, conjuring as many demons as they can and sending them into the bodies close by. Kind of a mass exodus, if you will.

 '''The Plan:''' We’re going to split up. Katie and Damian with me, everyone else with Calvin,” Korbin said. “Once we reach the protests, we’ll figure out the best places to sit and lure these creatures to us. We’ll never find all of them if we search. Calvin’s team, I want you to seek out the hive—the ones doing the conjuring—and stop them by any means necessary. This is a big one, gang. One for the record books, but at the same time it’s dangerous. Keep your eyes open and your ears perked, and don’t trust anyone but your team. Remember how sneaky your own demon can be.” He stressed the next three words. “Play. It. ''Safe''.” When plane landed, and all got into van, Korbin brought out his bait for the demons, to lure them away from the action. McDonald's Chicken McNuggets. all demons LOVE them! Armani talked to them, a short speech he had prepared, and they were ALL ready for battle!  Katie's part: Korbin on the first floor, Katie on the second, Damian on the third. Put out Nuggets as you wish, try to capture demons for research, but kill if it's to save yourselves. Katie meets a demon, tries to fight him with swords, is bested, overwhelmed. Saved by Korbin, who shoots it.

They have a sickness, one that demands blood and fights for revenge, not for survival. With someone like that, you can only kill them or capture them for research. The less empathy there is in the world, the stronger the demons grow,” he told her. “When the day comes that we lose our empathy, that is the day you know we’ve stopped fighting. We’ve stopped trying to preserve our futures.” He shrugged. “We are just pawns in the game at that point, and we will either die or let our demons take us over.”

 '''Departure:''' Predawn alert, gather, battle ready, in the pit. Korbon speaks. "The event has been spotted, and we are going to be the first and probably only team to make it there in time. It’s happening in the desert somewhere west of Las Vegas. There is a commune out there, only they aren’t your normal hippies. These are Damned, and demon-taken people plotting a huge summoning. We will fly in, neutralize what we find, and dispose of whatever we need to. They are reporting hostages; innocents who have not yet been Damned. Those people need to be rescued and gotten to safety. Calvin and I will focus on the rescue effort while the rest of you go in full force—no holding back. Let’s load into the choppers and get on this.” Three fully-stocked helicopters waiting, Garrett piloting one of them.

Elias, head of the Damned, has a plan to conquer the humans there (he was SURE the demon killers did not know of this attack), transfer demons to their bodies, go to Las Vegas, capture more, blend in with human race, destroy humans. (See Creatures, Damned). The first part was accomplished - demons were killing and feeding on humans, but before Elias could start the second part, Korbin's Killers shows up, kills Elias, and begins the clean-up a the commune. Korbin and team land, go among humans to settle them as others of team kill off other demons. The fuckers had to be stopped, no matter what.

 Calvin was charged with getting the surviving humans to safety. He had to get these people away from the compound and out to the highway where the California sector of their organization was meeting them with safe transport. Everyone stays close together,” he called, moving to the head of the group. “Follow me. If anyone needs help, call out. I’ll get you to safety.”There was more tragedy here than Calvin had witnessed in his entire career. They pushed through the gates of the commune and out onto the road leading to the highway. As they reached a turn in the road, Calvin stopped and stared at a man with no red ring in his eye. He wore a white lab coat over an expensive suit, and had his hands in his pockets. The man demanded that their people stay at the commune, and pulled a gun on Calvin to enforce that command. Calvin shot him, and hung his head. He’d had to kill his own kind, a man who had been Damned by nothing more than his own fear.
