now.”
     
    Sara didn't hesitate. Arch was well-known among all the angels, permanently assigned to the once-mortal Endurers. “Show me where we need to go.”
     
    He nodded in approval. “Follow me.”
     
    Quickly, they raced down the next stairs and into the luggage area. “Now what?” She asked, looking around, puzzled. A draft passed through, reminding her of the wet area on her skirt.
     
    “Good question,” he replied, looking around. “Arch, where are you?”
     
    Sara didn't get the chance to question him further. Her world spun, slowly replaced with blackness until there was nothing else. With a sickening lurch, she gave herself up to the darkness, never feeling the Endurer that wrapped his arms around her to hold her.
     
    * * * * *
     
    The world righted, revealing Arch standing in front of him as he held the woman, and her stuff, in his arms. They were standing in a grassy area next to the train tracks, remaining silent as it sped by. Within seconds, it was gone, disappearing in the dark night.
     
    Ian grimaced, waiting as Arch sheathed his sword. Although it was pitch black, he was able to see everything around him. Darkness didn't bother an Endurer, not with their enhanced senses. Arch was splattered in demon blood. He had battled hard.
     
    Walking up to Arch, he held the woman out to him. “I did what you asked,” he said grimly as he waited for Arch to take her. “Now tell me where the hell we are at so I can get out of here.”
     
    Arch took her easily. Her well-rounded size was nothing to them. They were able to carry weights much greater than hers, it wasn't even a consideration. When his arm grazed her bottom, he shot Ian an accusing look. “Why is she wet?”
     
    “Give me some credit,” Ian snarled in response. “Even I couldn't do a bedding that fast.”
     
    “Bullshit. I've seen you seduce a woman in five minutes flat. Don't tell me you couldn't have done it.”
     
    Ian chuckled, despite the terseness in the air around him. “In my old age, I prefer something longer and more satisfying that a quick tussle. Not to mention the demons, and that grotesque man convinced I wanted to share a bathroom stall with him.” Ian shuddered. “He was enough to make even the most virile male's dick shrivel up.”
     
    Arch was silent for a moment before laughing tiredly. “Damn, only you could manage to get into a mess like that.” He stared down at the woman he held. “She'll be awake in a moment or two.”
     
    “Why didn't you tell me she's immortal, an angel?”
     
    Arch looked away, scanning the area as he said blandly, “Lack of time?”
     
    “I call bullshit on that. More likely, you knew I wouldn't want to get involved. The last thing I need to be in the middle of is an angel versus demon battle. Protecting humanity is hard enough. Why did she pass out?” Ian asked, his tone curious. “If she's an angel, why would flashing knock her out?”
     
    Arch stared back at him, his blue eyes glowing in the darkness. “Angels assigned to territories here on earth become mortal, at least for the duration of their assignment. It's why this realm is their least favorite. Their powers are stripped here, and they have to eat, drink, and live human.”
     
    “So she can't sense demons?” Ian asked in disbelief, staring at her prone form. “Isn't that a little bit like sending a lamb into a den of hungry lions? Demons will still be able to sense her, in fact, I'm willing to bet they are purposely seeking out mortal angels. They don't want them here, not with them moving in. We already know they are on a mission to destroy this particular one. How can she protect herself?”
     
    “She can't,” Arch replied, with a sigh. “Although all angels still have the protection of the One above. It's complicated, which is why we were sent in. Hell has her in their radar. They won't stop until she's fulfilled her purpose, or she's dead. He doesn't want to see that happen.”
     
    “It doesn't
