Once forgotten Twice the problem

Author's notes:
some readers have gotten a bit confused between the short series I've been writing here. There are two Abels and two Torians. The Abel and Torian of the future, which are the ones living in Devi's apartments and helping Silver hunt, and then there's the ones of the past, who are completely innocent of all the Armageddon stuff (that Abel is the one that's trapped with Triana and Seth.)

Chapter 10

"Silver, you have a lot of connections, do you know anyone who might know what the hell's going on?" Abel asked.

"I can't believe you just said that, preacher," Torian poked. He sniffed at the blood on the ground, trying to see if he could even recognize any of the angelic clans involved.

"Um, well, maybe Kyriel might know," Silver shrugged. Pulling out her cell phone she dialed the number to her bar.

"Crimson Rose, What do you want?" Sevron's gravelly voice drawled.

"Not you, get Kyriel on the phone, slacker!" Silver winked at Devi, the two of them loved giving Sevron a hard time.

"Do you know how we can reach Floriel? If anyone knew it would be him. But then why wouldn't he warn us?" Devi frowned.

"If you hunt angels, how can you be friends with them?" Abel asked.

"Because some of them aren't assholes," Silver shrugged.

"Hey, gorgeous, how are you feeling? Better? I don't suppose you've heard any word on the angels wanting to instigate a war on the demons again? They've called Sevriel back to the land of light for negotiations but then they kidnapped the kids. We were just attacked by some fallen ones, too. Can you call me once you get any info? Yeah, thanks, bye," Silver hung up.

"Nothing? Shit! That's what we get for calling the biggest angelic outcast," Devi kicked at a rock.

"He said he'd send Gabriel up to find out what's going on. Gabriel can pull a secret out of anyone, he's just too damned charismatic," Silver peered back down at the grids, pointing to the front. She had no idea how long these grids traveled, or even if the kidnappers were still moving, but this trail would eventually lead to the kids.

"What about Aridan? Can't he just pop in here and then follow the sounds of their voices? His big ears still work in death, right?" Silver asked.

"Yeah, they do, but um..." Devi scratched his head nervously, looking over at his mother.

"You see, I sort of planted the baby seeds today for him, so he's on his way to being reborn," he grinned, flashing fangs at her.

"But we haven't been around any females for you to plant..." Abel paused, looking over at Silver, who looked about ready to explode.

"You bastard! When this is all over I'm going to kill you!" Silver screamed, punching him in the shoulder hard enough to make him stagger.

"Ow! Brute! I wanted a brother!" Devi shouted back. He suddenly went pale, realizing he had just yelled back.

"I'll deal with you later!" Silver hissed, going back to her task of tracking.
