    The Watchers: Faith Revisited

    He watched Bale and Remy exchange a look. They weren't certain about Kash. Next to Raym and Caym, he'd spent the most time living with the enclave in Germany. Levi could almost see the wheels turning within Bale's dubious little mind. He wanted to laugh as he watched Bale's perfect world fall apart around him.
    “You tell me ,” Remy countered. “What happened to Zeke?”
    The mention of the Grigori lying upstairs fighting for his life sobered Levi. If not for Zeke, he would be enjoying Bale's misery openly for all to see. But this was not just about Bale. There would be time to enjoy his fall later.
    Kash silently watched Remy a moment, a look of confusion crossing his face. He shook his head, turning away from the pair, but not enough that Levi couldn't still see his face. “The best I could piece together from Zeke's mumblings,” Kash began slowly, “was that they were ambushed outside the Mercury. He was supposed to meet his snitch there at the bar.”
    “And did he?” Remy asked as he stepped farther into the room, crossing the wood floor to the wet bar in the corner. “Did Zeke meet this demon?”
    An incredulous look passed over Kash's face as he watched Remy pour himself a glass of Macallan 25 scotch. “How should I know? Raym might have mentioned something to Penny, but I couldn't get shit out of him. Hell, I didn't even know about Caym.”
    “Christ,” Remy mumbled wearily, running a hand through his hair. “It's been a long night.
    Why doesn't everyone get some sleep? Hopefully all of this will be clearer when we rise.”
    Kash snorted derisively. “Sure. Whatever.”
    Levi watched him stride from the room. The slamming of the front door echoed into the room, signaling Kash's departure from the main residence. He remained silent, observing in fascination the interaction between Remy and Bale. It was obvious that at least Bale had forgotten his presence.
    “I hate this,” Bale murmured, sinking into one of the dining chairs. “To think that any of them…”
    “I know you do, Bale.” Remy sat across from Bale and leaned back into the chair. “You still beat yourself up over Lucifer's treachery. But the vow you made has not prevented it from happening again.”
    Bale sighed, resting his head against the back of his chair and closing his eyes. “That's the bitch of it. I did trust all of them, and I never saw it coming.”
    Bale's words genuinely surprised Levi. He stepped forward, his movement causing Bale to raise his head and pierce him with his gaze. He met Bale's eyes steadily until the other Watcher glanced away.
    “I'm sorry I couldn't have told you more to save him,” Levi said, turning his attention to Remy. He referred to Caym but hoped to hell he wasn't also speaking about Zeke.
    “What does that mean?” Bale asked, slowly rising to his feet.
    It was Remy's turn to sigh. “He's saying he came to me tonight and told me he'd had a vision that Zeke and Raym were in trouble.”
    Levi felt Bale's narrowed gaze but ignored him, keeping his concentration on Remy. “But I never saw Caym. And I don't understand why.”
    Levi's comment gave Remy pause. “Could he have already been gone?” Remy asked, his voice cautious.

    Levi shrugged. He didn't want to jump to conclusions either, but his visions were the one thing he could depend on. They were never off. Sometimes they seemed obscure, especially if they involved him. But in cases like this, when a vision came through as clearly as the one he had tonight, it was always accurate.
    “Did you see me ?” Bale asked, his tone curious but holding a trace of wariness.
    “No,” Levi said with a shake of his head. “I never saw the battle you were drawn into. But Zeke, I saw the whole thing.” Levi went on to describe his vision. An Alu demon had attacked the pair in the alley behind the Mercury. He and Raym had almost made it to Zeke's '67 Charger
