Angela sighed as Hal didn't answer her question, but didn't dwell on it. She finished up what she was doing, before telling someone that she was stepping out and that she would return when she could.

Sure enough, about fifteen minutes later, she called her other half.

"Hey Zeke? You willing to give me a ride somewhere?" She asked when he answered.

"If not, I can drive, but I feel like this is a bit more ... well, quicker may very well be better."

"Yeah, sure." Zeke replied.

"Where?" he asked.

"Erica's house." Angela replied.

"Shouldn't be a problem." Zeke told her.

"Just tell me where to pick you up." he said.

At that point, Angela received one last text from Hal.

Just realised I didn't properly answer your question. I was planning on still being here, but if you feel it would be best if I wasn't here, I can easily vacate before or when you arrive. it read.

"I'll meet you by Jake." Angela answered.

"Thanks, Zeke." She added with a soft smile to her voice before they ended the call. When they did, she addressed the text.

No worries. I was just asking for the sake of knowledge. She sent.

I'll be there in a couple minutes. She then sent before sighing and shoving her phone into her pocket. She made sure she had everything she needed, and made her way up to the entrance where Jake was.

"Yo. You need more sleep snake-boy." She said with a laugh.

"Seriously though, you look dead tired."

Jake looked over towards Angela.

"I do?" he asked.

"I hardly notice." he said.

"I mean, not that I doubt you. You're the medic, after all." he then reasoned.

"...and, granted, I don't think I've had a 'proper' night's rest for about a week or so..." he then admitted. "I can usually sunbathe for a few hours and be good." he shrugged.

"But maybe it's time I actually took a vacation day or something." he mumbled.

"Thanks for the concern." he added.

"That's a way to recharge, to an extent." Angela agreed. "But... it's not the same. You and Anya should go take a date day or something. I'll make sure Hal's aware. Don't come back for a day or two. It's Monday... stay away til your shift on Thursday. Take a couple. Doctor's orders." as she spoke, he could both see and hear the smirk to her voice.

"seriously though, go home and go to bed when your shift is done."

Jake just sighed lightly, smirked, and shook his head.

"See, that's the thing about a skilled medic." he told her.

"Whether it be a guild, this place, or whatever... your orders can supersede the boss's." he chuckled.

"But fair enough." he said, as Zeke appeared in the area.

"All right, here I am." he announced.

"Hey." he greeted Jake.

Angela just smirked.

"Trust me. I know." She commented.

"I've kicked bossman to bed a few times over the past while, too." she added with a laugh before loking to Zeke.

"Lovely. Thank you so much for this." She said to the nephilim.

"I'm looking to go to Erica's. Backyard would likely be best, as less of a chance of being seen." She added

Zeke nodded.

"All right." he replied.

The two of them then held hands, and Zeke smiled.

"Here we go." he told her.

The two of them then disappeared from where they were, appearing in the backyard as Angela specified.

"And we're here."

"Thank you muchly." Angela said with a soft smile.

"anyway, take off. I'll call if I need you to give me a lift back." She added.

"As I'm here as a medic, you gotta go." She added before waving and heading up to the door. She paused a moment before knocking.

Zeke nodded and disappeared before she headed off.

She wasn't waiting long, before Hal answered the door.

"Angela." he greeted her.

"Thank you for coming on such short notice." he thanked her, stepping aside.

"But I wouldn't have asked if I wasn't certain this was needed." he then whispered to her.

Angela nodded as she stepped inside.

"No worries." She said.

"You are my boss, after all." She then said before pausing.

"Ah, before I tend to why I am here. I've ordered Jake to stay away until his shift on thursday. He's looking like he hasn't slept in weeks. While I know he doesn't necessarily need to sleep as much as I do for instance, he looks dead tired, so he gets a couple days to recharge. Medic's orders." She stated with a smirk.

"Now, what's going on with Erica? Can you give me any more information?"

"Fair." was all Hal said in response to Jake.

He then proceeded to tell Angela about everything he'd witnessed since showing up there. How she acted, her reactions, and how they were odd, and just how much she didn't seem like herself.

As well as the marking he'd accidentally seen when she bent over to get him a drink.

"...she's worse than ever." he said.

"And not acting like herself. At all." he went on.

Angela just sighed lightly.

"All right. You clear out for the moment. At least give us some privacy." She said.

"I'll do what I'm here for and touch base with you after." She added

Hal nodded.

"Very well." he replied.

"I'll head back to the Unit. I should get to work anyway." he told her.

He then told Erica he was heading back, and Angela saw just how... deadpan and almost lifeless she was.

Hal then sighed, and disappeared from where he was, appearing in his office again.

"...I hope Angela at least finds some kind of clue." he mumbled to himself.

About an hour later, Angela sighed as she sent the text she did.

Yo. Az. Get to Erica's, will you? The gilr desperately needs some sleep, and you are the one she said that helps. it was simple and straight to the point, but it was sent.

She was worried about ERica, and it showed in the text. She was considering taking her to stay at the Unit, even.

Even if she was sure that Erica wouldn't like it...

She was waiting... a bit longer than she would have thought or predicted. Normally Azazel would have responded with an immediate text, or just teleporting there ASAP. But she was waiting at least 2 minutes before he answered.

Yeah, sure. I'll be there when I get there. it read.

And that, again, was almost alarming.

It didn't give any information, it showed no sense of urgency, and it was little more than a pointless tautology.

In short... not something Azazel would normally sense.

Angela was silent, completely before sighing and sending a text to Hal.

I'm taking the day off... gonna stay here so Erica can get some sleep. she sent before following it up with anothe text.

Because.. Azazel is... I don't think he cares.

Hal read the text, and was silent as he saw it.

"....damn it all." he cursed.

Alarmingly, that goes along with some concerns that Aedan's been having in regards to Azazel. he sent her.

How is Erica looking? Overall? he then sent.

I know, bad, but anything in specific?

Angela took a few seconds to think about what she was going to reply with, before giving him all the information that she could in a nice and succinct text. It outlined everything she'd found, how it seemed that there was more at play, how she couldn't figure much of it out, how Erica's physical stated was seeming to be faltering and not quite failing... but probably not going to continue going well, and more.

She was worried about her, and it wasn't hard for Hal to pick up on that, either.

Hal was worried as well.

Erica was getting worse and worse, and it seemed like Azazel wasn't acting like himself.

"Damn it." he cursed.

"What is going on here!?" he asked aloud, feeling more frustrated than ever.

Do what you feel you need to. he then sent to Angela.

Let me know if I can help in any way. he added.
