And wait she did.

She waited for a couple of hours, before the man she was seeking entered the area.

And he was surprised to see her.

"Angela?" he addressed her.

"Why are you here so early? And at my office, no less." he asked.

"...is something wrong?"

"We need to talk." was all she said.

"Please, grant me five minutes... this is important." She added with a sigh.

"May involve the security of what you've built up, too."

"......" Hal was silent for a moment, before sighing.

"Very well." he said.

He then went into his office and beckoned her to enter as well.

When she did, he sat down behind the desk and looked at her.

"Now. What's this about the security here?"

"I think Zeke copied security files, basic layout plans and the like that anyone can access from the computers here, to an external harddrive." Angela told him simply, and honestly.

"I don't know why, he wouldn't answer me." She then said.

"But he did, and with how he was acting last night... I fear that this location may be in jeopardy now."

Hal had a look of sheer disbelief in his eyes.

"....Zeke?" he asked.

"Why would he...?" he started to ask further, before shaking his head.

"Well, whatever." he said.

"Any potential security breach needs to be taken seriously." he reasoned.

"We need to initiate the protocol NOW."

Angela nodded.

"That's why I was giving you the information." She said.

"I admit that I really hate to have to say it, but... it has to be said. I don't know what he's doing, I don't know what he is hoping for." She continued.

"I just know that this is a breach, and ... just..." She paused before sighing, heavily.

"Anyway, now that I've given you the information that I was aiming to... I'm just going to head to the medwing."

"Angela." Hal said.

"If you don't feel safe here, I'm giving you the chance to go home." he told her.

"Part of these proceedings is a complete lockdown." he said.

"And if you don't want to be separated from Olivia, I give you the chance to leave now." he went on.

"But this is your ONLY chance." he warned.

"Lockdown will commence in under 2 minutes, so make your decision ASAP."

Angela was silent for a moment before shaking her head.

'I ..." She started.

"I want to stay, but I can't leave Liv alone. I'm sorry." He could hear the truth in her words, she realised she could be needed, but she had to protect her daughter. Especially since for all she knew, Zeke could stop by there.

"As I said." Hal responded.

"I trust you enough to let you leave this building right now." he told her.

"If anyone asks, you left to get breakfast at the nearby cafe or something." he went on.

"Now go." he told her.

"Make your way out of here and look out for your family." he said.

"And Angela?" he then went on.

"...be safe." he finished, his tone soft.

"Thank you Hal..." She said.

"If you need me for anything, I'm a call away. You know that." With that she approached, gave him a quick hug before heading off. She had to make sure her daughter would be all right for the time being - but she wasn't going to entirely complain. She knew that she had take care of her wrist as well.

On the way home, she did just that - stopped by the hospital that was on the way.

When she did, and got it examined, she found that, thankfully, nothing was broken. But there WAS worrisome bruising. It was properly tended to, and after a few hours, she was sent on her way.

However, all the while, she couldn't stop thinking about Zeke.

Why was he acting this way?

What was his goal?

Was he a danger to her? To Liv?

All she knew was she had to get home to her daughter... and that she couldn't go back to the Unit. Even if she wanted to.

When Angela made her way home, she coudln't stop wondering about a variety of things - all revolving around Zeke and waht the hell had happened. Thankfully, Liv was at school for the moment, so the house was quiet when she arrived back home. She had no idea if Cain was there or not, as she told him he had free reign of the place while she was at work. ALong with that, she wasn't sure if his parents were home or not.

And there was a decent chance he'd be with Hal's kid, Lunet, as Hal would be stuck at the unit for the foreseeable future.

"This is a c lusterfuck." She muttered as she kicked her shoes off.

The first thing she noticed was that the house was quiet.

Eerily so.

However, that changed VERY quickly when one of the fae rushed towards her, saying there was something going on the backyard.

She followed the sprite, and what she saw made her blood run cold.

Zeke was there. And he was swatting at the fae that were surrounding him, attacking him to protect the house. And Cain was there as well.

At Zeke's feet.

He wasn't moving or twitching or anything.

And that's when Zeke noticed Angela.

"YOU!" he yelled loudly, glaring daggers at her.

"Oh shit..." Angela said quietly before sighing and stepping outside and closing the door behind her.

"Hello, Zeke." She said after a moment or two.

"What brings you around here?" She asked, hoping that Cain would be all right, and that he hadn't killed any of the fae, either. She was trying to maintain some calmness, without a doubt, but she realised that it wasn't easy. She wouldn't be surprised if it showed on her face, either, if she were to be hones.t

"Because of you, everything's ruined!" Zeke declared.

"That infernal building is under a shutdown, and nobody can get it!" he yelled further.

"You just had to butt in where you didn't belong." he continued, swatting away another fae.

"Something's wrong!" the fae next to Angela said.

"Weird mana! Weird energy!" they exclaimed.

"Elven!"

"Elven...?" Angela asked quietly, knowing that they couldn't answer her, most likely.

"Clear out, you guys." She then said.

"I'll take care of this. Get Cain somewhere safe" After she said that, several flew toward Cain, trying to get to him to take him elsewhere, somewhere that he'd be safer for the moment, at the very least.

Before the fae could get to Cain, Zeke stamped his foot down in his back.

Hard.

Enough that it caused Cain's limp body to twitch and flinch from the sheer nerve and muscle stimulation.

"Remember what I said?" Zeke asked Angela.

"Talk, and suffer." he repeated.

"You talked. And it's clear that this... thing..." he continued, referencing Cain. "...is something of worth to you." he went on.

"And I AM an archangel. It's my JOB to slay demons." he went on, a cruel chuckle emanating from him now.

Angela was completely silent. She had no idea what to say, do or even think here. This was something she'd never had to deal with before, and she'd be lying if she said she was enjoying it.

She approached quickly though, as she was concerned about Cain's wellbeing and survival for the moment.

I have got to get Zeke away from him... she thought, trying to plan things out. She knew he wouldn't move quickly and easily, but also knew that she had to try something.

"I'm the one you want, right?" She asked, a bit of a smirk on her face.

"And yes, you're an archangel, well... half archangel." She said, correcting herself - and him - as she did so.

"Am I not the one who willingly went against your orders?" She asked. "Pretty sure I'm the one you want."

Please let this work...

"....." Zeke was silent, before grabbing Cain by the back of his neck, and lifting him up.

"I suppose that's true." he admitted.

"Oh well." he said.

He then shot a beam of light through Cain's chest, and threw his limp body off to the side.

"If he survived that, he gets to continue to exist." he reasoned, before approaching Angela, stepping alarmingly close.

"So why did you do it?" he asked.

"Why did you put the security of that building over your own safety... and your daughter's?" he asked further.

Angela didn't back down as Zeke stepped up to her. She stood her ground as best she could.

"Why? Because you're acting irrationally, and I'm nto even sure you can do anything to the Unit or Liv and I." She told him, hoping he'd believe her.

"You care too much for Liv. Why would you harm her?" She asked.

"Do what you will to me, though. Just leave her out of it."
