"Today we're going to be investigating A.Z. Fell Book Sellers. The shop was opened in 1800 and there have been some very strange tales coming from it." Ryan said into the camera.
"The owner getting spooked?" Shane asked as he looked at Ryan. Ryan looked at Shane and smiled.
"That's the really weird part. The owner isn't the one making any of the claims."
"So this place might not even be haunted at all. Could just be angry customers trying to give them a bad name." Shane shook his head, ever the skeptic.
"Wait until you hear about everything that's been said to be going on...." Ryan opened his file folder and started to read the reports.
"I can't believe you're actually allowing this." Crowley said to Aziraphale as they waited for the two idiot humans to show up.
"I would rather have them investigate and dispel the rumors of the place being haunted then let it linger. There's actually been an increase in people stopping by because of it and I want it to stop." Aziraphale straightened his tie. He had to put on his best appearance after all. Crowley just rolled his eyes.
"You do realize this is actually going to increase business, don't you? Even if they don't get any evidence, more people are going to want to come here because these two morons were here." He wrinkled his nose. Aziraphale just looked at Crowley for a moment.
"Oh...I hadn't thought of that." He started to panic a little bit. "Perhaps I can cancel..."
"Too late for that." Crowley motioned toward the door and the two men walked in almost immediately after. The shorter one was rather unassuming and actually a little on the adorable side, Crowley decided. He was also someone that could be very easily terrified. Maybe this could be fun. The taller one, though. He was very strange.
"Mr. Fell?" The shorter one said.
"It's Aziraphale, actually." The angel said as he stepped forward and offered a hand. "It's nice to meet you."
"This shop is pretty great." The taller one said. The shorter one nodded.
"I'm Ryan Bergara, this is Shane Madej. And it is a great shop." Ryan said as he looked around. The two of them seemed to be ignoring Crowley's presence entirely.
"Why thank you. I've put a lot of care into it. This is my.... associate Crowley." He indicated the other man.
"Those are some neat shades you got there." The one called Shane said as he looked at Crowley. The demon walked over and looked at Shane very carefully for a moment.
"I knew I recognized you!" He stepped back and grinned. "Shax! What are you doing here? I thought you were supposed to be on an assignment somewhere in Asia."
"My name is Shane." He said through gritted teeth. "Shane Madej. Normal human being paranormal investigator." He made a motion with his hand for Crowley to drop it.
"Oh right. Yes, my mistake." Crowley said with a wink and then sauntered back toward Aziraphale's desk. Ryan and Aziraphale had both watched the interaction with complete confusion but for utterly different reasons. Aziraphale just assumed that the demon was undercover and Ryan decided that it was just a prank that Shane had set up ahead of time.
"You stated, Mr. Bergara, that you would need the shop unoccupied for the evening?" Aziraphale sounded a little nervous.
"Yes. If that's okay." Ryan was still side eyeing shane.
"Don't worry, angel. I'll stay outside and make sure it doesn't burn down. Again." Crowley said with a grin.
Ryan and Shane exchanged looks and Ryan mouthed "again" before looking back at Aziraphale.
"I promise, we'll be very careful." He smiled. Aziraphale nodded and gave the two men a spare key.
"Please do. I have some rather rare first editions here I would hate to see damaged." He straightened his waistcoat and looked at Crowley. "Stay out of trouble."
"It's like you don't even know me." Crowley rolled his eyes again as he started to follow Aziraphale out of the shop. His entire intention was to do the exact opposite. Especially knowing that Shax was a part of this. Things were going to be very, very fun for the next few hours.
