Everyone at S.P.E.A.R was surprised by Hailey when she returned from her night with Geshp, she was wearing makeup, her nails were long and painted pink and red and had her hair was done in a waterfall braid that ended in curls. She wore a light pink halter dress that came down to her knees with a white lacy cardigan and high heeled pink boots.
She walked through the halls of S.P.E.A.R HQ with an uncharacteristic feminine strut and she smiled and hummed to herself as she walked.
Henry passed her and had to take a second look at his partner, her new look was a far cry from her tougher and practical look.
“What’s with you? Did something happen last night?” He asked.
“Hehe, I’m not telling. Let’s just say that Geshp showed me how amazing and totally awesome wrestling is! I was so stupid to think otherwise, luckily he showed me how wrong I was! He sure knows what’s best for me!… Like, have you seen Director McMillan?” She giggled.
“Uh… no, she’s with Jacob, apparently he talked her into going to his place for the holiday. Why?” he said.
“I was like going to inform her that I won’t be available until after Christmas.” She said in a ditzy manner unlike her normal self.
“What?! What do mean? Are you feeling well?” Henry asked, his concern of his partner’s new behavior rising.
“Hehe, I’ve never felt better silly! Like, Geshp invited me to spend the holidays with him! He said he has this totally awesome place in the cooler part of hell and I’ve bought a brand new bikini!!” She squealed.
Henry was confused and concerned, Hailey was like a completely different person. He had to find out what was going on with his partner.
“Hey, you should get checked out by medical to clear you for leave. Wouldn’t uh…want to ruin your vacation.” He tried to hide his mounting suspicion.
The blonde just looked at him with a dumb expression and then tilted her head.
“Like, what for? I feel fine!” She said bubbly.
“Did that demon do something to you Did he put a spell on you?!” The man asked becoming more concerned.
“What?! Geshp would like never do anything to me! He’s so handsome and smart why would he have to do something like that to get people to like him?” She replied.
“Because he’s a shifty demon.” He replied.
“No he’s not shifty, he’s totally a hunk! His eyes are like so dreamy and his voice is sweeter than any music. I can’t wait to see him again!” She gushed and Henry could swear she was about to drool.
“Sure, have fun. I’ll catch you next year then.” He tried to joke.
Immediately her demeanor returned to its new flighty and upbeat tone and she strutted away. Henry had no intention of just letting her go without him figuring out what was really going on, but he couldn’t let her know that he was dubious about everything. Because the Director and Jacob were gone he had no way of getting into touch with Geshp.
Henry remembered that Hailey had gone to see Jolie before she left so perhaps she had done something to his partner.
After his visit and interrogation of the necromancer they had come to a deal: if he let her come with him, she would help him fix whatever had been done to Hailey.The werewolf didn’t trust her but he had no choice if he was to find out what was really going on.
First he decided to check the S.P.E.A.R files (no pun intended) to identify the former agent who had become Geshp’s wife.
After hours of searching and babysitting Jolie he found her: Jessica Jameson. She had been an agent for DHS before the formation of S.P.E.A.R, like Jolie had said she was invited somewhere with Geshp and her personality had altered just like Hailey’s. Then she shortly married the demon and then seemingly disappeared.
“Let’s check out that wrestling arena Geshp took Hailey to, we might be able to find something. But first you’re going to have to change, you’ll draw too much attention in that dress.” Henry said.
“Me? I’m not the one wearing that hideous shirt!” The white haired girl said and stuck her tongue out at him.
“Don’t make me lock you back up.” He replied.
“Fine you big meanie.” She pouted,
“This is going to be a long day.” He said already exhausted.

In the depths of hell a slim, curvy figure circled a pile of burning corpses, the flames illuminated the feminine form; long dark hair, pretty white eyes and black sclera with red vein-like cracks. Her pale skin contrasted against her tight black dress that trailed behind her.
“That bitch Hailey is going to pay for getting between me and my brother.” Camellia said in a wicked yet elegant voice.
The demon looked back at the blonde woman she had encased in a black stone. She hugged up against it and ran her hand over it seductively,
“Just like you Agent Jameson. Then me and Geshp can be together!” She finished with a psychotic giggle.
When her brother had met Agent Jameson she was consumed with jealousy, that’s when she placed a curse on her beloved brother; any woman he invited on a date would become a ditzy bimbo. She knew he liked strong women, so it was the perfect curse. He would have no choice but to accept his dear sister’s affections and love only her.
