Information was coming in faster than Jasmine could process and she felt like her head was going to explode. Multiple angels were trying to get her to notice multiple things all at once. She focused on only the demon possessed, trying to keep her mind focused as best as she could. When someone came in and snatched the angel born, there was a loud blare of alarm that made her head ring like a bell at evening mass. She reached up and clenched her temple, whirling around to see someone with the same glowing aura of an angel born running off with her charge. She took a step forward but faltered as she felt like a blood vessel in her head was throbbing with each step. “Release me or kill me.” She told the angels. If this vision in between went on much longer, she was use she would have a brain aneurysm. 

The angels pulled from her and her vision finally came to an end, allowing her to take a deep breath for the first time since they touched her shoulders. She wavered a moment, the gale around her finally coming to an end. The demon got away, the angel born was kidnapped, Rufus was dead. She had failed, miserably. Even with the aid of the angels on her shoulders, she had failed miserably. 

The sounds of sirens off in the distance could be heard as police began to make their way to the scene. Jasmine gave a deep sigh as she slowly turned back towards Rufus and retraced her steps. She almost stumbled over Rufus on the ground before she dropped to her knees and began to dig around in his pockets and began pulling everything from him. She would leave the body for the police to find but they didn't need to know about the knights. She pulled his wallet out and fumbled with it as she began to pull card after card out, feeling each card for the laminated touch of a license. She was trying to work quickly but her hands were beginning to shake and her eyes were starting to tear up. 

She wanted more than anything to throw everything to the side and curse the demon who did this to one of the nicest guys she had ever met but she had a task to do. They needed to get out of here and quickly. They now had two angel borns to find and the damn demon went chasing after them. Her hands shook with anger and grief just thinking about it. She found it even hard to focus on her task until Bruno walked over and laid his head down on her lap. 

Her hand dropped down to his head and she took a deep breath. She continued to go through the cards until she finally felt the slick surface of the license. She pulled it and reached out to feel along Rufus, her hand finding his arm first. She followed it to his shoulder and then his chest. She rested the license in the middle of his chest but left her hand on his chest for a moment as she closed her eyes. “May God accept your soul and guide you to the gates so you may rest in forever peace.” 

A small tear rolled down her cheek and she reached up to wipe it away, leaving a small streak of blood on her cheek like war paint. She packed all the things she found on his body in her bag before she stood. She reached into her pocket and pulled out an ear bud, tucking it into her ear. “Hey Google, send a message to Headquarters.” She grabbed a hold of Bruno's harness and prepared to leave the alley for the cops to find. “Gather the knights and the prophets. We have a mission.” She made to leave the alley.
