He walked for a long time, unaware of how much time had passed. He took a breath of delight when he saw a devil trying to light a fire outside his den.

Roderick gave it a second thought, "Sort of.""HUMAN." Devil stood up, "THEY TASTE GOOD WHEN EATEN RAW.""I know you killed the judge." Roderick said, "I have written a letter saying I had seen you going to his room. Adding to it, everyone knows you hold a grudge against him. If I don`t make it to the court within half an hour, then the receptionist will open the letter and you will be finished."A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.Devil`s expressions changed.

Why do cases even need to be resolved in a single day?""ASK THEM. NOT ME.""Should I tell them too?""TELL WHAT?""That you killed the jud-""FINE. I AM GOING WITH YOU." Devil moved his fingers.
