"I think it's about time we meet the neighbors," Nathaniel said as he looked at Martha.
Hours later, Nathan and Martha walked towards the target's house dressed casually.
"Hello," Martha said to everyone she walked past.
When they got to the house they were surveilling, Martha said hello.
A man behind a metal picket fence responded.
"I haven't seen you guys before," the man added.
"Yes, we just moved into the neighborhood not long ago," Nathan said then tried to continue walking.
Unfortunately, Martha would not move. She kept him anchored as she extended the conversation.
'I remember the lieutenant telling her to keep the talking to a minimum,' Nathan thought as he squeezed her hand.
"Oh, that's nice of your father-in-law to do. A home is the first thing you need to make a home," the man said and invited them in.
'This feels too easy. Has our cover been blown?' Nathan thought as he forced a smile.
"I am Amadeus, I raised a family of five in this house. The neighborhood is perfect for starting a family," Amadeus went on about the neighborhood.
After a while, Nathan started to doubt he was a high-level demon. When they got into the house he offered them tea. Martha accepted but Nathan said he preferred coffee.
Without hesitation, he asked the butler to arrange for coffee. Minutes later a servant brought it.
Nathan looked around for anything out of the ordinary. Meanwhile, Martha kept the conversation with Amadeus going.
After beverages, they said their goodbyes and he accompanied them to the gate.
"He is really a nice man," Martha said to the others when they got back home.
They then turned to Nathan and he nodded in agreement.
"He is a middle-aged man with a full set of gray hair, a mustache, and a goatee to match.
"Is this him?, James showed Nathan a picture on the tablet and he nodded.
"I don't care how nice he is. We take him down at twenty-two hundred," Yuri barked.
That day at 10 pm they raided Amadeus' house. In all black tactical gear, they jumped over the fence.
Martha went around the house. She drew sigils on the windows and doors with spray cans. She then walked to the pool behind the house and started to bless it.
Meanwhile, James, Nathanial, and Yuri breached through the front door. Nathan and Mark breached from the back door.
They moved from room to room clearing it. They moved in the dark with ease using night vision goggles. Mark and Nathan used pistols while the others used assult rifles.
Nathan and Mark met the others in the living room and went up the stairs together. In minutes they cleared the first floor.
"There is nobody here," Yuri said.
"Where could they have gone? We have been watching them?" Nathanial wondered.
"What did you do?" Yuri grabbed Nathan by the shirt as he asked.
