Kingdom Lost - Episode 2 "Department 7"

"Don't rightly know what the language is called, I think the Professor came up with a name for it but I've forgotten by now. Myron encouraged us to keep looking into this, but we really don't know enough," James replies, "I remember some of that writing looked as though it was talking about a 'city of burning angels'. Some kind of reference to hell and demons I'd assume."

Selene listens to James as she pulls out on the road, Dexter in the back typing down his notes. She glances to James, "Well a city of burning angels does sound pretty biblical, and hell-like... this is deep, real deep. I don't like the idea of thinking that we may be dealing with real-life devils and burning angels..."

"I don't like the idea of thinking that we may be dealing with real-life devils and burning angels..."

"Apparently that's real-life Nephilim blood in your veins. Dealing with fallen angels and their ilk may be an inevitability, seeing as how you're descended from them. But don't take my word for it, I'd know about as much as you, if not less," James says, and smiles.

Selene sighs, "I was afraid you would say that. It sounds cool, but I get the feeling that there is going to be alot of headache attached to being descended from the Nephilim... I guess it could be one hell of a conversation starter though right?"

She shrugs as she meanders her way through traffic, "What are your thoughts about Department 7?"

 

[Festy_Dog]

"What are your thoughts about Department 7?"

"Potentially, it could be a great new job which would challenge me and teach me a lot of new things. Alternatively, it also has the potential to mess things up for me badly, but then again, government agencies can do that," James gives voice to his opinions.

Could especially cause trouble if you're pretty unpopular with agencies back home.

"After that whole attempted assassination incident I'm under the impression there may be a lack of communication and coordination between D7 and Project Omega. They don't seem to cooperate very well, and unless this boss that both groups seem to be working for has orchestrated this with a purpose in mind, I think it could cause real problems in future," James hypothesises, trying to determine as much as he can from what he has been told thus far.

"You seem to have experience with these kinds of things, were you like a cop or something back in Australia?" Selene asks as she continues to lazily weave through the 405 traffic.

"So you are saying the left hand don't talk to the right kind of thing. If they do work for the same boss I get the same feeling. Maybe they don't like working together? Or maybe there is more going on then we can see on the surface..." she sighs, "I think my life was complicated enough with David, now it is like ten times more so..."

Sakura nods numbly at Darius's assurances, not really hearing any of it. "Thank you." she says, idoly brshing a strand of hair behind an ear. She shivers, not really cold, but her tank top was candy coated in blood, making it stick to her like a second skin, as well as rivulets of blood on her face from when she had leaned close to pull her brother to safety.

The law enforcement degree hadn't, couldn't have prepared her for the feelings of being soaked in her brother's blood, he was gonna be a lawyer, he shouldn't have been involved in this, it was her fault, her fault that he had been shot. She didn't know what to feel, and beyond numbness, she wasn't, wasn't thinking, wasn't feeling, wasn't worrying, she was in shock. In shock the littlest things are magnified, the tiniest problem becomes world shattering. For that reason, the detective's oddities were quite enthralling.

"Umm, no, I, just...lets just go, I don't think I could drive my bike anyway." she tells him, givinghim her hand, letting him lead her to the car.

Darius takes her by the hand and leads her to his vehicle, a black 2003 Mustang GT. He lets her in and then opens his side and gets in silently, he mouths a word but thinks better of it and just pulls out and follows after the ambulance weaving through traffic, listening to some of the chatter over the police band.

Midway through the journey he finals says something, “I am sorry. Not sure what else to say, other then that Koga is lucky, I have had to tell many parents, loved ones and friends that another one of our own or kin would not be coming home. Koga will pull through he is like your dad, like you, strong, and we will find the one’s who did this to him. They will pay, one way or another.”

He goes silent as he continues to follow behind the ambulance as it pulls into the emergency room. She can see them pulling Koga out and rushing him inside as Darius finds a place to park. He gets out and helps Sakura out.

“Your father should hopefully be here or on his way,” he says walking with her inside.

"You seem to have experience with these kinds of things, were you like a cop or something back in Australia?" Selene asks as she continues to lazily weave through the 405 traffic.

James revisits some memories. He chuckles, and shakes his head.

"I worked for the government, yeah, but I wasn't really a cop. I was with ASIO, we dealt with terrorists and spies mostly, all political and national security style stuff," he explains, "Don't actually mention it to anyone though, especially with D7 getting in close to us, a former member of an intelligence agency living overseas would raise eyebrows."

Hmm, now what to say if they ask why I'm here and not still working there...

 

[Shalimar]

"Thanks for the ride Darius, I probably would have wrapped my bike around a tree trying to get here." she admits gratefully, still trembling a little, but slowly coming back to herself. "I hope so," she agrees when the detective mentions her father. Her father was always so calm and collected, he would be able to fix things in a matter of hours, and then Koga would be safe, everyone would be safe.

Sakura exits the car and trails along after the paramedics and Koga like a lost puppy, hanging back so as to not be in the way, but still wanting to be there. She sits and waits for the doctors, willing them to tell her that everything was alright, that he was gonna be fine.
