Angela was silent for a moment before sighing.

"No... no I'm really not happy about this." she agreed after a second or two.

"I do entirely realise that this is not going to end well, otherwise." She then added.

"But... thank you. I didn't want to ... to say anything to anyone, strictly because of the fact that I did not want to admit I couldn't do it." She finished with as she sat up and got to her feet. As she did so, Hal could see, quite clearly, that she wasn't the the steadiest. Her phone was in the locker though, and she'd a need to get to her feet and grab it if she was to contact Zeke.

"....." Hal was silent, before stepping closer to Angela.

"Come on." he said.

"I'll help you in any way I can right now." he told her.

"You don't look steady on your feet, and odds are you need to get some things before you leave for your impromptu time away." he commented further.

"So let me help you with that." he continued.

"That acceptable?" he asked her.

Angela was silent before sighing, again.

"I..." She wanted to argue with him, but sh realised that she had a very... very weak argument at the moment.

"Yeah..." She said, a bit of a defeated tone to her voice. It wasn't that he was helping, and that she needed it, it was more because of the fact that this had happened in the first place. She was a mother, she should have been able to deal with this.

Just... Lunet being blind, along with having been discovered to have a (much) weaker immune system was really taking its toll on her.

The pair of them got her things together, and while that didn't take too terribly long, it certainly took longer than she was sure Hal would have liked, though. After all was said and done, she was sitting in the break room again, ready to head out and sending a text to Zeke.

Yo. You and I get the day off. Long story... you busy and can drive me home, or no? she sent.

Hal had left when she was sitting in the break room, as he had other things to attend to, but she wasn't alone for very long, before she received a response.

I can drive you home. the text read.

Where are you? the next one asked.

Break room. Angela responded.

Sure enough, about 2 or 3 minutes later, Zeke stepped into the room.

"What's going on?" he asked. "Is everything all right?" he asked further, concern in his tone.

"Well... no... and yes." Angela answered after he'd arrived.

"I'll explain back home." She then said.

"So... let's go." She then said as she got to her feet, about as steady as she had been with Hal.

"Let's... jsut got" she added ass he approacehd and passed the keys to him.

"I'm pretty sure I'd crash if I drove." She added with a light sigh.

Zeke accepted the keys, and was silent for a moment... before sighing.

"Right." he said.

"We'll head out." he told her.

With that, the two of them made their way to the exit that was connected to the security landing, where they were greeted by Jake.

"Headed home?" he asked.

"Yeah." Zeke replied.

"Was wondering how long before Sharp forced it." Jake said to Angela.

Angela just rolled her eyes.

"Yeah... no comment." She said.

"I can barely stay on my feet as it is, so... he's basically kicked me out for now."

"....mmhmm." Jake muttered.

"Well, have fun, then." he told her.

With that, he went back to reading his paper, as Zeke and Angela made their way out to her car. They got in it, and he started the car up, pulling out of the parking lot.

"Want anything?" he asked her.

"Something to drink, or something to eat, before we get you home?" he asked further.

"Just... you know, I can stop by anywhere on our way back."

Angela just laid her head on the window with a light sigh.

"Caffiene would be lovely." She commented.

"Something to help me wake up a bit." She added before sighing.

"Don't really wanna crash when I get home, admittedly."

"We'll stop at Starbucks, then." Zeke replied.

"Whatcha want?" he asked.

"Oh, and maybe we should get something for Liv and Lunet, too." he went on.

"Surprise them with a little treat or something." he suggested with a small chuckle.

"Liv isn't home at the moment, she's still at school." Angela commented.

"But if we got her one of the ice teas she's fond of, we can stick it in the fridge." She added.

"As for Lunet, I think she'd like one of those frapps that she seems to like." She continued as she pulled her phone out of her pocket.

"Probably should get something for Cain too, since he's there watching her." As she spoke, she sent a text to their sitter.

Stopping at Starbucks. Want something?

"That's what I was thinking." Zeke replied.

"A frapp for Lunet, An iced tea for Liv..." he went on.

"Let me know what YOU want, and what Cain wants." he said further.

It was at that point, Angela got a response.

An iced caramel latte with mocha syrup would be nice, thanks. the text read.

Angela just nodded before putting the orders into the app she had.

"All right, here." She said as they parked and she handed him the phone.

"Those are the orders, put what you want in and just submit it, or take it in and get them to do it, or whatever." She then added.

"I'm just going to die here." She added.

"Okay." Zeke replied.

After he got their order, he drove her back home, parking the vehicle where he usually did.

"All right, we're here." he said.

"Come on, let's go." he told her.

"I'm sure Cain's wondering why you're back early." he added.

"Oh probably." Angela said before sighing.

"Then again, I haven't seen him for awhile.... been you for the past bit." She then said as they climbed out of the car and closed the door. She had to pause, due to how dead tired she was, before making her way up to the door as Zeke brought the drinks.

"Yo!" She called as she kicked off her shoes just inside the door.

"Cain? Lunet!?" She called out, looking around and not seeing either of them right quickly.

She was met with silence for a moment, before she heard footsteps. Two sets of them.

"Come on." a male voice said.

"Seems your Mom's home early." he said to Lunet, as the two of them made their way towards her.

"Hey." a young male that looked to be about 18 or so greeted them. He had short jet black hair, and cloudy eyes... but that was because he wasn't wearing his special glasses.

As he greeted her, Lunet came forward and gave Angela a hug.

Angela gave Lunet a hug in return.

"Thirsty?" She asked. Lunet just nodded.

"Zeke's got something for ya." She then said before sighing.

"I need to speak with you, too. So let's go sit down. Cain, come with. You're involved in this by proxy." She added. Lunet nodded and stepped back carefully.

"Come on, let's go sit on the couch." She said to Lunet before sighing, siletnly. It was more seen then heard.

A couple minutes later, the four of them were situation in varying places in the den.

". . . Lunet... you are aware that this was never going to be permanent, right?" She asked the little girl after a few secoinds. Lunet paused, not saying anything.

". . . " Her silence said plenty though.

"....... where are you sending me?" She asked bluntly, pain in her voice, but acceptance. It was as if she was just accepting that she wasn't meant to have a family, that she wasn't good enough for anywhere. Angela paused, shock in her face.

"What? Oh damn. Uh... " She paused, wasn't sure how to correct that.

Zeke was silent as he heard the conversation, and he wasn't sure what to say here.

This wasn't unexpected for him, though. He could see this coming. He saw Angela getting worse and worse as time went on, and he knew it would only be a matter of time before something broke.

'So THAT'S what this was about...' he thought.

"Wait, what?" Cain then asked.

"Sending her?" he asked further, before looking at Lunet.

"Maybe... maybe that's the wrong phrasing for this, Lunet." he commented, trying to lighten the situation, even if just a little bit.

Lunet was just looking down, she'd be staring st her hands if she could.

"Lunet.... I can't take care of you." Angela stated, pain in her voice.

"But... I know someone that is willing to take you in." She paused after a moment before continuing.

"You will still be able to see Liv whenever you want, and I'm sure Cain will still be in contact as well. Hall will still need someone to watch over ya while Hal is needed for work."

Lunet remained completely silent, not saying anything.

".... Kay." was all she said. It seemed that perhaps the progress made had been a bit backtracked.

'Damn it.' Zeke cursed mentally.

'She was making such good progress, too.' he thought.

Cain just sighed, shaking his head some.

"...wait..." he said.

"Hal?" he asked.

"Hal... Sharp?" he asked her further.

"As in... your boss?"
