                  “Do either of you doubt me? Doubt my ability to locate her? Have I not chased her existence throughout the entire world... many many times? I am one of the best trackers the world has ever seen! Hell! This is a world I’ve started conquering when I was only 22 years old!” I raise my voice opening up my arms, “I have become the shrewdest businessman in the world, yet I kept a low profile. I have learned to read the signs of time, of wind, of fire, of earth, of water like you would read a book. The shadow men everyone else around the globe including the governments are wary of, are afraid of my fucking wrath! Because I know how to find them, neither do I have any qualms about fucking punishing them, should they ever cross me! And, I know,  that ,” I say jabbing my thumb in the direction Elissa disappeared, “...was Elissa!” 
                  “There is one better. Nieto...He's still the best tracker of anything, or anyone. No one can find him, unless he wants you to find him,” corrects Henry, but Anthony cuts him off.
                  “How do we confirm it Mr. Pella? How do we, beyond the shadow of any doubt know that it’s Miss Ellie? Names can be a coincidence, looks can be a coincidence. After all, her mother was human. She had to have human descendants. That could very well account for the resemblance you’re seeing.” 
                  I hold my wrists up to show them, and both of them take a step back as if I punched them and left them breathless, their eyes widen. I know Elissa's marks had to come alive too! She looked like I shocked her with a thousand volts of electricity. The moment my seals came alive, the marks became scorching hot. Even though they seared me like a hot branding iron and it was excruciating, it would have made me tremble if I didn't use all my physical faculties. But the pain was well worth it for having her fall into my arms, inhaling her unique scent after two-hundred and fifteen years of missing her! 
                  “ Aquila! ” gasps Anthony reverentially.
                  “ Aquila , indeed!” nods Henry. “My apologies for doubting you, sir,” he adds in his southern gentleman tone.“ There’s one on each wrist, but...” he says looking up and asks, worried, “...only one carries the golden thunderbolts in his talons. What’s the meaning of it?”
                  Anthony answers it before I do, “the eagle is ready to fight against all enemies!”
                  “Only one is ready to fight. The other one seems wounded...” observes Henry, and expresses the concern I didn't dare to voice. Something is indeed amiss with her, and I need to find out, immediately. 
                  “Anthony, Elissa has a job interview this afternoon in Los Angeles. I want you to find out where, and see if one of our recruiters works there. I want her to be referred to my company.”
     
    He opens his smart phone and reads through her background search after I'd located her here in Montecito, telling me what I already know, because I’ve read it a thousand times, memorized it as if catching up with her, “yes, Mr. Pella,” he says, and reads something under his breath, but we can all hear his voice:
                  “Elissa Cassandra Duncan. Age: 21.  Today! ” he says surprised looking up at me. My gaze isn't giving anything away. My mouth is shut into a thin line. Being 21 years old today means that she could now be visible to all the other trackers who are seeking her out because she will be getting some of her memories back, and she may shine like a beacon to the  Fallen   Angels . “She has received her Master's degree. I'm sure it’ll be easy to find a very appropriate position for her at the Pella Aerospace and Energy International Inc.” 
                  “Anthony, I
