Kundiman looked at herself in the mirror. She was clad in a frayed pink sweater, an old looking gray knitted scarf around her neck. She also wore a pair of fitted jeans torn and frayed at the knees and the cuffs. A pair of battered dirty white sneakers and a ratty brown beret finished off the look. Her face was scrubbed clean of make up and with that she was now officially a helpless pregnant teenager who ran away from home.
She still couldn't get over the fact that she couldn't be a nun. And that no one recognized her without make up. She took out her phone after making sure that no one was listening in. She was in the washroom of the shelter and she almost wept because it was clean and it smelled good.
She flipped it open. "Sara? You set up already?" Sara was in surveillance duty. She was hidden in the company truck outside the shelter, ready to pursue whatever demon was attacking them.
"Yup, we're all set out here, how is the interview?"
"Oh God, if I had to listen to another story of sexual abuse I'd puke. People should get liscenses before effing their brains out. Anyway, Ballog is gonna come join you soon, how's Seth?"
"Still sulking over his bruise and the not being allowed to sneak into the morgue. Rufus is keeping him company."
"That's good. And the knight and his assistant?"
"Ahh... They're with Ballog. Up on the roof."
"I'll have to talk to them later, the letters I received told me they'd come later this week but oh well. Check if they're set up in the roof already, tell them not to attempt capture. I've found and made contact with the witness. See you at our midnight meet. Hopefully by then we can narrow down the creature list. Also, call me when Marcus and Noelle comes back with that report."
"Yup, yup."
"Bye now, kiss poor Seth for me." Kundiman hang up and walked out of the room looking as tired as everybody else.
"Thank you for waiting for me Aimee."
"You're welcome. Are you sure you're pregnant?" The brown haired girl asked.
"There were times I wished I weren't. Let's go get supper?"
"Sure."
