After the genie had left Damon to die as a hardened criminal, she went back into her lamp to enjoy a nice magical luxury life, all with cable and a jacuzzi. The lamp housed a whole luxurious penthouse because genies should never have to be bored as they wait for their next master. Oh, this genie didn't like to be bothered, actually, as her time in her prison was indeed quite delightful. She had everything she could wish for, appropriately and ironically enough as she was a genie. Besides, it was fun to screw mortals over. Sure, she went easy on kids as well as nice people but truth be told, most bored her to death - and that was saying a something as she was an immortal being. Always the same wishes, the same desires... Mortals never changed... so who could blame her for having fun with it? Sure, Damon was dead, but she made him think he was happy as he died and his last false memories were about being a celebrity as a criminal, receiving lots of fan letters, notably from women. That got him hard often enough. So she rested, waiting for her next master foolish enough to think he could get the better of HER.
It turned out that it was Damon's landlords who got hold of the lamp, as he had to ultimately busty out thew door to the lodgings. It had been more than a month and he demanded his dure rent. He was happy to see no dead body in the apartment, unfortunately there was no sign of the young man. The landlord rummaged around to find out where Damon could have go be when he moved the lamp, accidentally brushing his fingers against it. That counted as a rub and the genie issued out.
And the man did not disappoint. He did not even ask what had happened to Damon, or even if the genie had something to do with his disappearance. No, he wanted his first wish and he wanted it now. He wanted to be rich, unbelievably so. The stupid idiot...
"Easy enough, master," sighed the genie with a snap of her fingers and a puff of smoke.
The man had not given any precisions in what he'd be rich in, or under what circumstances, after all...
