Damascus grumbled angrily. "Hopped dimensions again, again! And that key took forever to make!" The god paced around the room before pulling a smartphone from thin air. He angrily tapped a few buttons and put it to his ear

Mike studied the map on his desk, a hastily sketched out diagram of his target's home city. It was important to always enter a dangerous situation with as much info as possible, and Mike wanted to be prepared. He sighed, making a small note in the map's margin about a likely-looking side road near his target's home.
His phone rang, and he picked it up. "This is Mike of the demon hunters. How can I help you?"

"This is Damascus. Your target just hopped dimensions, and I don't have a key for you to get there. It'll take me a while to make a new one, so you're unemployed until I can make a new one. The key should get you back to your dimension before it vanishes. And no, I will NOT pay for leave. Good day." He hung up and crushed the phone back into smoke

Mike glared at his phone for a moment, then grunted and set it back down. "Gods. I shoulda known not not to take a job from one. At least I was smart enough to ask for half the money up front."
Standing, he found the piece of paper that Asura had given him and dialed the number. He sat at his desk and absently tore up his map, waiting.

Abbadon picked up, confused. "This is Abbadon, server of Asura. What do you need?"

"Hey, yeah, can I talk to your boss for a second? Tell him it's Mike."

(We're going to lose connection for a while in about five or ten minutes)
"Sure thing," Abbadon said. He turned to Asura, who was a few feet away petting his lions. "Asura, it's Mike. Whoever that is." Asura's pointed ears twitched, and he snatched the cell phone from Abbadon.
"That was quicker than I thought it would be."

(Ok)
"Welp, the other job got scrapped for the moment. I've gotta get back to my place and check in on the business, but after that I'm free to honor our agreement."

Asura nodded. "Want to meet up somewhere? I can give you a key to my universe, I have an infinite amount of them," he suggested.

Mike started pacing. "Sure. How about tomorrow afternoon? Whatever place you want, as long as I can get to it somehow."

"My temple. I'll make sure you get there. Abbadon will sent you the teleportation spell," Asura said, glancing at Abbadon, who nodded. (so what's going to happen is they both teleport and something goes wrong and they end up in Pluto's garage, right?)

(all right, seeya then)
"Sounds good. I'll see you then." Mike hung up the phone, found Jacob, and told him to fire up the helicopter. They left within the hour, and got back to the base before dark. Mike told Jacob that he could stay home this time, deposited the money from their last job, and went to bed.
The next morning, he got up, told his head captain Raul that he was in charge, found the teleportation spell in the mailbox, ate breakfast, packed a few extra weapons, and used the key to leave. He was heading out a bit early, but better to scope the place out before negotiations began.
