After defeating Father Reddick, Roger, Katina, Labda, and Cilla returned him to the police station. They closed his detention cell tightly to prevent him from escaping.

Chief Rosetta complimented the crew on their victory and praised their boldness and quick thinking. "You all performed an excellent job. "The city is safer now that Father Reddick is in jail," she smiled.

Sariel, still in mourning over his lover's death, requested permission to carry her body back to his world. Rosetta offered him a nod of approval, knowing how important closure was to the angel.

"I'm still sorry for your loss, Sariel," Roger remarked as he rested his hand on the angel's shoulder. "We'll make sure she gets a proper send-off."

Sariel nodded, appreciative for his new friends' help. "Thank you so much. I'll bury her properly in my realm."

The group proceeded to the break room. They were all fatigued from the fight and needed to relax and recover. Sariel reclined against the wall, lost in meditation, as Katina, Labda, and Cilla cuddled up on a cushion.

Later, as the sun rose slowly over the city, Sariel took his lover's body up to the police station's rooftop. As he ascended the steps, the cool breeze rustled his wings, his heart heavy with regret. Roger and his three Cerberus partners, Katina, Labda, and Cilla, awaited him on the roof.

Sariel kneeled beside the body, which was wrapped in a white sheet, and gently placed it on the ground. The cops gathered around him, their faces solemn. They had battled beside Sariel and felt his grief upon his death.

Roger finally spoke out after a few moments of silence on the terrace. "Is there anything we can do for you?" he said, his voice soft and sympathetic.

Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author.

Sariel closed his eyes and shook his head. "No, but thanks." "I'll look after her from here."

The three-headed Cerberus women agreed, their tears streaming in their three sets of eyes.

"We'll be here for you, Sariel," Cilla assured her quietly. "If you ever need anything, just let us know."

Sariel opened his eyes and looked at each of them, his face filled with gratitude. "Thank you," he quietly said. "I couldn't have done it without your assistance." I appreciate everything you've done."

Roger rested his hand on Sariel's shoulder. "It was our pleasure, Sariel," he added, smiling. "We'll continue to keep an eye on this city and make sure nothing like this ever happens again."

Sariel rose to his feet and put his arms around his lover's body, pressing it against his chest. He then expanded his wings and flew away, his body and that of his beloved wrapped in a white sheet. The cops stood there in astonishment as he flew higher and higher, until he was nothing more than a speck in the sky.

The cops knew that Sariel would always be there to defend them and the angel dimension as they stood on the rooftop, watching the sky. They would never forget his sacrifice for them and would always remember him.

As the cops made their way back inside the station, the morning sun continued to rise, spreading a pleasant glow over the city.

*****

Roger knew he wanted to spend the rest of his life with Katina, Labda, and Cilla after everything they'd been through. He wanted to express his appreciation and gratitude to them for always having his back.

So, one day, Roger dropped down on one knee in front of the three-headed Cerberus inside the police station. They were perplexed and intrigued by him.

"Katina, Labda, and Cilla," Roger started, "you've been my steadfast companions through thick and thin." You've always been there for me and helped me become a better person. I can't imagine what my life would be like without you. That's why I'd want to ask you a question."

Roger took a tiny box from his pocket and opened it to find a stunning gold ring.

"Will you three marry me?" he inquired, his heart racing.

The proposal surprised the Cerberus, and tears welled up in their eyes. They nodded in unison as they looked at one other and then back at Roger.

"Yes, yes, and yes!" they cried, their voices mingling.

The officers in the station applauded, clapping and whistling. Roger stood up and tightly hugged his three-headed Cerberus partner, tears running down his own cheeks.

The Cerberus wore the ring on their central head from then on as a symbol of their love and loyalty to Roger. Following that, the police station got a little lighter and happier, with the Cerberus receiving compliments from everyone who knew them.

And when Roger resumed his profession as a cop, he knew he had his three-headed partner's love and support by his side, through every obstacle and adventure.
