"Sir?" The trembling demon henchman seemed scared to approach the large round stone table which Crowley was circling, hands clasped behind his back, carefully studying a map of the United States. There were little red dots covering at least half of the map. Crowley's focus broken, he looked up and frowned. "What?" "The...the prophet..." Crowley's eyes flashed red for a nanosecond before returning to their usual brown. "What. About. Him?"
"Uh...well...we can't find him." The demon swallowed hard before rushing to try and explain farther. "They've hidden him really well and we've searched everywhere, but he's just...he's off the grid sir."
There was a moment of tense silence. Crowley rolled out his neck. "I see. Well, you did the best you could. Nice try." The demon gave a relieved sigh. "Thank you sir. I promise that the next task you give me will be executed perfectly." Crowley turned around slowly. "Oh, there won't be a next time." And with that, he snapped, causing the demon's meatsuit to explode and the demon within to be shipped straight back to hell.
"I swear, if you want something done right, you've got to do it yourself" he muttered, going straight to a cabinet in the back of the room and beginning to pull ingredients and a large bowl from it. He filled the bowl with everything needed to perform a simple tracking spell and was just settling down to start in on it when another of his henchmen entered hesitantly. "What do you want" Crowley barked, his eyes on the bowl. "Are you doing a tracking spell sir?" "No, I'm making lunch. Of course I'm doing a tracking spell, you bloody idiot" he snarled. "So whatever you want best be important." "But sir...we've already tried locating the prophet through a tracking spell...it doesn't work."
Each of Crowley's words were sharp as ice when he spoke again. "I know you can't find the prophet with a tracking spell. Fortunately, there's this little thing called human weakness that I'm going to play on. We may not be able to find the prophet but I know two people who already know where wonderboy is. And to find them, all we need..." He lit a match and dropped it into the full bowl and watched intently as a location was divulged.
"...is bait."
