"Uhm…." I had been stalling for nearly ten minutes. What was I going to say? This was my dad I was talking to. If I lied I would probably die, if I told the truth, I would never see Patch again. Which was I going to choose?

Angel, just tell him he won't hurt you if you tell him.

I heard Patch say in my head, I wanted to shut him out, I had been for the past ten minutes but this time it seemed like he wanted me to tell the truth.

"Okay, listen Mr. Miller, Jules I mean Chauncey had been nearly trying to kill me by chasing me beating up my friend, and then threatening to kill her. I just wanted to save my life. And anyway he was the one who jumped off the rafter, he killed himself I had no part in it." I looked Hank in the eyes to tell him I was serious.

Angel

When I heard Patch he sounded worried, but I told the truth I did what he wanted didn't I?

"Let the Angel go we don't need him, it's her we want."

I turned around and saw the Nephilim ease up on Patch and start coming toward me.

Run! I will deal with them.

It took me awhile to finally grasp what he was meaning, and I darted for the door.

"Get her!" I had heard Hank yell at the Nephilim men, I heard deep footsteps behind me but I just kept running, I got to the entrance of Delphic and looked back to see if they were following me, but I didn't see anything behind me.

I took out the keys to the Jeep and got in, I started driving in circles. I didn't know where I was going but I just kept driving, I could feel tears streaming down my cheeks, what if I never saw Patch again? What if Hank did something horrible to him?

After about fifteen more minutes of driving around in circles I just parked in parking lot, stopped the engine, put my head against the wheel and just cried.

Are you okay?

It was Patch's voice which meant he was close, to close. I took my head up from the steering wheel , I looked in the passenger seat.

"Patch." Was all that came out of my mouth.
