"Are you sure she wasn't at the house?" Dale asked the gnome. "The place was crawling with monsters, she has to have been there. It's not like one of us could have been killed off and swapped with - son of a bitch!" He interrupted his own sentence midway through. "NATHAN! Damn it, that asshole just had to wear his gas mask around all the time. Wouldn't even have to be a shape shifter to fool us. Then there's the fact he never talks. She wouldn't have to worry about being found out if she dressed herself up like him. And it would explain why Doc's magic plant went berserk at the hotel... but why would a demon want to tag along with us, anyway?"
Emerson laughed at Red's suggestion that the succubus was in love with him. "Is he normally this boldly daft? I like him" Emerson commented, then glanced at Dale. "And no, I'm po-sit-ive there was no she-devil in that house. I was in there for two weeks; it was only the rabid big folk, the boney big folk, and the dog" he answered, then thought about it for a moment.
"And that fangly big folk that came around four days ago. He figured out I was there from the boney big folk and tried to hunt me down, but I managed to hide him out. Ordered the boney big folk to finish me off then left. They were looking for me in that upstairs room when ya' lot barged in" Emerson added as an afterthought.
Trying to ignore the little man on his shoulder, Bill looked at Jerry solemnly. "Only if you knew how fix things... 'Sides, it's just about finished" Bill said, glancing down at the engine compartment again then closing the hood. He turned, somewhat slowly as he was still anxious about Emerson, to the group. "Alright, I did what you asked. Why can't you just let me go now?" he asked, arms slightly out to either side as if to show that he still wasn't armed with anything.

You are reading this."Well, if she wasn't already here, she must have come along very recently," Tequila said. "We're just guessing about Nathan though. She could just as easily be any one of us. But she hasn't attacked anyone since the helicopter and she could easily have taken out me, Dale or Cranston while we were unloading on her illusion."
"You are my future selves? Am I having a Mid-Life Crisis?" The War Doctor - Day of The Doctor"They're out and about, dicking after that gnome what owns the house! And after I told them it was useless."
Og waved his hand in the general direction. "If anything, I take it they also ran into trouble along the way, what with the shooting and all. I'm with Ned here; let's hunker down and hope they have the sense to come back."

The hits keep rollin'!"Uh, there are no keys" Bill said, motioning at the front of the jeep just before Jerry handcuffed him. "Aw, come on!" he protested. Those who looked to where he indicated would see that there was, in fact, no keys. In the place of the keys, was what looked to be the handle of a screwdriver sticking out of the socket that the keyhole normally fit into.
Emerson looked at Cranston, and nodded. "Aye, vampire, and he. He arrived while I was sleeping, so I don't know where he came from. I think he must have found out about me from the boney big folk, including how I'd been pestering them for fun. Woke me up opening up all the cupboards trying to find me" Emerson explained, then glanced at Dale. "What, ya' think just because I'm not Human that means I get along with all other monsters? I'm a gnome, not a devil. Anyway, I stayed in hiding 'till the guy left, so I don't know where he went either. Other big folk are usually no problem, being too slow to react to catch a gnome, but those fangly big folk..." he paused for a moment to shudder before continuing, "They track us with no problem. Gives me the willies every time. I'm not keen on going up against the likes of them."

You are reading this.Sorry for the incredibly late post, I had extra homework due to the course I'm on ending.
After finally teasing the bullet out of his chest and finding boxes for the consoles, Tank realized the other hunters had come back. He continued filling the boxes and ignored them, until the word Succubus was mentioned.
Tank makes his way downstairs to see what all the commotion is about.

I think there's no point in signatures."I wasn't trying to say anything about your character, pal," Dale said, "I just haven't had any vampires try singling me out recently, and was wondering if you had provoked it."
With that, he hopped up to the back of the jeep, holding on to the roll bar with his left hand, while firmly holding his gun with his right and propping it down. Since he was on the left of the jeep, he could cover most of that side. "I guess it works out nicer that you drive since you don't have a gun," he added to Red.
"My thinking exactly. And I could always run over that bitch." Red told Dale as he turned the screwdriver and started the car.
"Hey Dale! Billy's going in the back with you. You guys can keep an eye on him." Red told the former college student.
"Get!" he commanded Billy harshly as he pointed his finger behind him to the back of the Jeep. "Where'd you and your bandit pals steal this thing from anyway?" Red asked Billy as he deduced that since the Jeep had no keys- it was probably stolen property.

Since Tank had been upstairs in the house the whole time, he would have earlier heard the sudden gunshot come from just downstairs, followed by the string of Texan-accented cursing. When he went downstairs, he'd see Og, Ed, and Lisa down around the front door.
Back at the jeep, since four of their number were still back at the dome house, there was actually still enough room in the back for Dale to sit if he choose to. In any case, the group quickly piled in and drove off towards the house, pulling up to the front within just a couple minutes.
There they'd see the other bounty hunters gathered near the door, who in turn would have heard and seen the jeep approaching with plenty of ahead notice. There was no visible movement in the sky, no sudden attacks from outside or inside; in short, there was, still, no sign of the demonette from earlier.
You are reading this.Jerry climbed into the back of the jeep on the opposite side of Dale and grabbed Billy by the back of the collar "Get up here you." He said pulling him up with one hand. Arriving back at the house he jumped out of the jeep, "Emerson, keep an eye on him would you?" then walked in and saw Lisa with the hole in her side, "Holy shit. What happened to you?" He asked looking at wound.
"Somebody barbequin'?!""Damn it!" Dale said as he stepped off the jeep and followed along, "Son of a bitch! Who did this? Who's shooting everyone? Anyone know how to patch her up?" he asked the others as he looked around, "I think she's going to need one hell of a lot more than an ice pack and band-aid."
He trained his gun in front of him as he glanced around the house, as if trying to find some intruder who was conveniently lurking in plain view, "I do not want to have to deal with a succubus and a vampire," he said.
"Well Dale, if your Dale, I may have a solution. For the succubus at least." Ned got off the wall he had been leaning on. "Now with our current amount of hunters we ain't got to be worried about being attacked." Stopping to look at the cowgirl Ned continued to speak. "Well, mostly don't need to worry... You know what, I'm just going to skip to my point. I think the demon is disguised as one of us and I want to get everyone to take a drink to find out."
Stop caring and embrace nullness.

"She could be, except before she was with me, she was with Dale. In any case that kind of suspicion without evidence will only cause trouble we can't afford."
