On both sides, they would routinely wait three days in line to collect tickets. The names of game-winning goal scorers and clumsy defenders entered city lore year after year.

Now Satan has come to collect, drafting him to capture fugitives from Hades--a dirty job but one that gives Sam a purpose in life for the first time.
