Will do. was all Angela sent before sighing and sending a text to someone else.

You or your dad able to stop by Erica's? Kinda... think it might be a good idea to have one of you angels take a look at her. She sent.

She knew it was a crapshoot, they weren't angels proper, one was an archangel, and the other half human, but at least there was a chance, right?

Angela just sighed.

That's the thing , I'm not entirely sure what to expect. She replied with.

All I know is that she isn't doing so well, and my fae and mortal means of checking really isn't turning anything up. I'm hoping one of you can figure something out, and maybe help her a bit.

Erica was the first to react. She made her way to the door before opening it.

"Ah, uriel." She said simply as she stepped out of the way, allowing him entrance.

"I'm in the den, Yuri!" Angela called as he stepped inside. She was curious as to what his initial thoughts of Erica would be, considering she knew that the young woman was not in the best of shapes. She was sure it wasn't only because she was a medic that told her that.

Angela just sighed.

"Not at all." She said as Erica approached.

"I was wondering if you would be so kind as to check her over." She said. "Since there's, well, as you said... something's not right with her."

"Please? I'm worried about her."

Erica was silent for a moment before nodding.

"Do as you need to." She then said after a moment or two, not much of anything to her voice. Angela just sighed before motioning to her.

"Erica, go up to your room with him. Get some sleep after, if you can, hey?" She asked. Erica just nodded before heading off.

". . . help her sleep too, if you can, will you?" she asked Yuri.

"I do hope you can do ... something." She said quietly as they left.

Yuri's with Erica now. Hopefully he can shed some light on this, or at least help her get some restful sleep. she sent Hal as a text, knowing that she did agree to keep him abreast of the situation.

"Seven hours? Good." Angela said simply.

"She's barely been sleeping, from what I can gather." She added.

"And what's wrong? It doesn't take a genius to realise that's more that you havent' said."

". . . Well... that's concerning." Angela commented after a few seconds before sighing.

"At least she's asleep for the moment. If nothing else, there's that." She said.

"Thank you, so much, for that." She added.

She was silent as she made her way through the halls. She didn't know what it was that she was to expect here, but she knew she had to ask.

One of those in the lab hadn't been seen nor heard from for ... far too long. Even a knock on her dorm door resulted in nothing.

So now she was concerned, and going to her boss to see if he had any information.

"Oh! Hey!" She called out as she hurried to catch up with him. As he stopped and looked to her, she just chuckled.

"I got lucky." She said.

"Kiah? Something wrong?" He asked.

"Hal... I haven't seen Hazel for far too long, and even her dorm is dusty as if no one has been there for weeks. Do you know what's going on? Where she went?" She paused a moment.

". . . is she ok?"

♫Born of graves and left below ♪ Painted ashes, painted snow♫

Kiah was silent for a moment before sighing.

". . . All right then." She started.

"I wish for you to bring Hazel home." She told him simply. "And that you would tell me where she is, and why."
