The Morningstar Job
When Eliot Spencer is brutally murdered, Parker and Hardison's world shatters. But the afterlife isn't what Eliot expected, and neither is the unlikely ally who offers him a second chance at life - Lucifer Morningstar himself. Now resurrected and haunted by his time in Hell, Eliot must navigate his damaged psyche while the trio hunts down his killer. Between demonic torment, supernatural bargains, and the intense bond between the three lovers, every choice could either heal their fractured souls or damn them forever.The fluorescent lights of the morgue burn my eyes as I stare down at my own corpse. The medical examiner is making small talk with her assistant, commenting on my "impeccable musculature" and "extensive scar tissue" as if I'm just another specimen on her table.
I reach out a hand to touch my cold cheek, but it passes straight through. I'm a ghost in this moment, trapped between life and what comes next. The anger that fueled my final moments still courses through me - Gloria Chapman's face, the sound of gunshots, the betrayal.
And then there's Parker and Hardison. My partners. My family. How will they survive without me? The thought twists in my chest like a blade.
The examiner's scalpel slices into my chest, and suddenly I'm falling. Not just falling - descending. The temperature spikes as the morgue fades, replaced by jagged rock and the stench of sulfur. Demonic screams echo in the distance.
This is Hell. And I deserve every second of what's coming.
But just as the first demon's claws reach for me, a voice cuts through the chaos - smooth, British, and unmistakably arrogant.
"Now, now. That's no way to treat a guest."
I look up to see Lucifer Morningstar himself standing at the edge of the pit, regarding me with amusement.
"Mr. Spencer," he says with a grin. "What a pleasant surprise. I must say, I wasn't expecting to see you here quite so soon."
The demons recoil from his presence, and suddenly I'm standing on solid ground.
"What do you want?" I growl, reflexively moving into a defensive stance.
Lucifer's smile widens. "What everyone wants, my dear Eliot. A second chance."
He extends a hand. "Shall we make a deal?"
