The officers flood the building from the front and rear screaming for all to hit the deck. When the officers see Angeni they demand she lay flat as they bead down on her with their weapons.
When she steps up to Bardiel they can't see the fallen seated on the floor next to her and demand she lay down again or they will open fire.
With the flirtatious smirk she vanishes from sight and the officers are truly dumbfounded. They pour into the offices and drag out the girl while trying to make since of the disappearance of the woman.
They find the phone and take it into evidence. When the wet rags on the floor suddenly become the mutilated body in a pool of blood they simply can't make since of it all.
The Hydancek can still be heard in the alleyway singing and laughing as they drag the soul out toward the street. The demon and Angeni still veiled from the human eyes as the police tape off the scene and take the traumatized girls for medical care when the ambulance arrives.

When they were a safe distance from the warehouse and he was sure they were alone, Bardiel slowly lowered Angeni. Not because he was being considerate, because he was being careful. The tall Fallen loomed over her, his wings came down to encircle them both “Right, explain to me Inanna, what are you, if not a killer, and why are you here?” He wasn’t demanding but the way his wings fenced her under his stare spoke volumes.
Bardiel sighed, ran his charred fingers through his feathery hair and his tone changed “Will you tell me a story Inanna?”

Angeni backs away from Bardiel as much as possible, bumping into his wings and dropping yet more ash on her black coat. She looks back at him nervously, though her shoulders straighten and she stands up tall.
"It depends on the story. I can only tell you the ones I know." She pauses, her look softening a bit, but still wary.
"My name isn't Inanna. It's Angeni. What's yours?"

“Sky, up. Stone, rock. Angeni, Inanna.” Bardiel gestures at the world in general “It makes no difference.” He stoops, so that his eyes are now level with Angeni’s, and smiles “Brave, Kind, Name-seeker. You are Inanna.”
“I’ll trade with you.” Bardiel draws back, quickly trying to mask the desparation that had krept into his eyes. “Give me your story, tell me what, not who you are. And I’ll give you a name with friendship inside it.”

Angeni is silent as she studies him- seeing the fractures in the fallen's frame of mind. She reaches out a hand, and takes his- as though he were a small child instead of towering over her.
"I'll tell you, I promise, but lets go someplace less... exposed." She looks around nervously as if expecting the street to sprout pursuit. She pulls on his hand looking for an all night coffee shop or cafe.

Bardiel’s fingers twitch once before going limp. Looking at Angeni’s full hand in his disfigured one, he seems to physically unwind. His shoulders and wings slump downward while his head drops slightly forward, looking for all the world a fallen scarecrow.
Bardiel looks as if he’s about to speak but then thinks better of it and allows Angeni to lead him into the night. And although his free hand was dangerously still, his gaze wandered to the sky, carefree and calm.

The sky drips with the miserable weather as the two seek refuge from the rain and cold. Blocks go by as they seek a quiet place to rest and hide away from prying eyes eager to capture one or the other.
They march to the end of the block and a bright light of the book store shines into the gloom of the night. Much like a light house to a struggling sea man. Warm and dry.
