"You guys are slacking," a voice was heard behind Jamie. Out of nowhere, Maddox had appeared. While he had his hands in his pockets in a nonchalant fashion, his facial expression revealed that he was dead serious and all business. His red eyes looked over at Angelica, then over to Angelo, then back down to Jamie. "The Jamie I know wouldn't be challenged by a single enemy." Maddox took a few steps to the side now, to stand at a respectable distance from Jamie and Jarvis.

"Do you still need me in the library or would you rather me provide back-up here?" Maddox asked, still keeping his casual pose. He looked over at Carrie now, giving her a stern glare, before letting his gaze settle on Angelica. Upon looking at her, his stern gaze turned into one of total anger. "Or would you rather that I destroy _the shadows_ for you?" It was clear who he was referring to as he kept his eyes locked onto Angelica. Even for someone who has known Maddox for years, it would likely be surprising to see even an angry expression on his face. Let alone hear a clear desire to fight, something he had never displayed openly before.
