Wounded Angel (The Earth Angels) - By Stacy Gail Page 0,15
someone calls out to you.”
“So, just to be clear...have you found her or not?”
Seriously, this guy was brick-thick. “I’m narrowing it down. Until I do find her, keep those names confidential. We don’t want another media circus on our hands.”
“I beg your pardon, Mr. da Luca.” Archibald’s scolding tone was enough to sour the coffee in Nate’s gut. “I do know how to do my job. Please continue to do yours, and in future be so kind as to leave your schedule open for continued daily updates. Thank you and good day.”
Nate scowled as he disconnected the call, trying his damnedest to ignore the pent-up tension thrumming through his muscles. What he’d like to do to vent that tension was open up a can of whoop-ass on the pampered priss Archibald and his client, Richard Rainier. Every last one of the Rainiers was jacked up in ways that only old money, power and privilege could do, with each successive generation proving itself to be more twisted than the last. But as much as he yearned to tell Archibald to shove this case where the sun didn’t shine, there was no way he was going to do that. For one thing, it wouldn’t stop them from hounding Gabriella Littlefield to the ends of the earth. For another, the fee they were paying him to fulfill the last wishes of an old woman would pay the bills for the next couple of years, and then some.
Besides, his cause was just. Before accepting this case, he’d investigated the motivation behind it from top to bottom. Though part of him still felt vaguely scummy intruding on the new life Gabriella Littlefield had built, there was no doubt that what he was bringing to her would make her road a smoother one. If anyone deserved that, she did.
The muted chime on his phone sounded just as he was tucking it into his coat pocket, and this time he brought it back out with more enthusiasm. There were very few internet message boards that grabbed his attention, but he’d stumbled onto this site after researching the loss of his own powers. One link had led to another, and after answering a complex questionnaire, he’d landed in carefully guarded territory—a web site created for the descendants of an ancient race of angelic-human hybrids known as the Nephilim.
In short, people who were just like him.
With a click, he opened the link to NeoPhilim’s RSS feed.
Attention Neo-Phytes!
Heads-up, y’all! We had a demonic event take place out west, though as this happened some time ago, it’s up to you to figure out if it’s important or not, okay? Cool.
ShadowmanZeke hit me with a story about a demon that had dropped in on an outdoor concert in San Francisco. Apparently this demon wasn’t much of a music lover, but he WAS loving the chaos he created by taking on the persona of a dead man and tormenting this deceased guy’s son into a knife-flailing frenzy. Luckily no one died, mainly because Zeke was Johnny-on-the-spot and tackled this hell spawn before it did any real damage. Not so luckily, the demon got away before Zeke could properly dispatch it.
For the record, Zeke said he has no clue if that incident had anything to do with what our fearless leader had to wrassle with here in Dallas this past summer (for those of you who don’t know the story, here’s the link to the blog we’re keeping), but since I asked for anything related to red eyes, Zeke thought he might as well pass this incident along.
And that leads me to my next PSA. Not to be a nag, but I need everyone out there who has a story relating to the demonic to give it up. Don’t be shy, boys and girls—SHARE WITH THE REST OF THE CLASS. Thanks to all the info that’s appeared on these boards so far, we now know that red glowing eyes means a demon; red-veiled eyes in a human means they’re possessed, and a faint flash of red means a human has become demonically corrupted by selling their soul.
Don’t forget why the people here at LSI started this web site. It exists for the sole purpose of giving the descendants of the Nephilim as much of a warning as possible. There’s no getting around the fact that some form of earthbound demon has targeted your kind for reasons unknown. Long story short—you’re on the endangered species list. So keep those lines of communication open and your
