The next morning Connor and Romeo sat at the table with their heads down. Both had horrible headaches and upset stomachs. Doc was making breakfast, which wasnt helping them. Connor had his head in his hand with his elbow resting on the table. Murphy came out of his room with a smile and slipped into a chair at the end of the small table. Romeo had his head resting on his folding arms. Connor looked at Murphy with a frown as Father Capri came out of his room.

" And what the hell are ye smiling for? Ye drank just as much as we did!" He snapped.

" Because he was cured." Gabriel said as he and Gabriella walked out of the priest's room. Murphy stiffen as the angel twins came to the table. He wasnt sure if Gabriella told Gabriel they had kissed and he didnt know how the angel warrior would take it.

" Cured? Can I be cured?" Romeo asked.

" No." Gabriel snapped. " It wasnt my idea to cure Murphy. You drink, you pay the price." Gabriella came over to Romeo and out her hands on his head. She closed her eyes and ran her hand through his hair. Her wings burst forward as she tilted Romeo's head up and kissed his forehead.

" Be well." She whispered against his skin. Romeo looked at her and she smiled down at him. She patted his cheek and walked over to Connor. She ran her hands through his hair then tilted his head up. " Be well." She whispered after she kissed his forehead. Murphy felt a tang of jealousy go through him. Connor smiled up at her.

" Ye are an angel." He said as he put his hand to her neck and brought her down to him. He placed a closed mouth kiss against her smile. Murphy felt his jaw tighen and tension come from Gabriel. Gabriella laughed as she pulled away. Her wings pulled into her back.

" After everything you have seen from me, taking your hangover away is what makes you believe Im an angel." She scuffed Connor's hair before she walked away.

" What is the plan for today?" Romeo asked, surprised at how much better he was feeling.

" Gabriella and I scouted around last night, listened in to a few people, checked out some sights and the man you need to talk to is named Jimmy. He will be tanning at one today." Gabriel said.

" What is tanning?" Gabriella asked as she came to stand in between Murphy and Romeo. She quickly leaned down and inhaled Romeo's scent.

" Some people go to places where they lay in beds that have UV rays to change their skin color." Gabriel said.

" Why would you want to change your skin color? Humans can be weird little creatures." Gabriella said as she leaned into Murphy and inhaled. When she pulled away, she gave him a big smile, which made him smile. She squeezed his shoulder.

Gabriel and Gabriella got Connor and Murphy into the tanning salon unseen. It take take

long for them to find what room Jimmy was in. He was in the tanning bed, singing when Connor bend down and placed his gun inside of it. Murphy jumped onto of the bed. Gabriel looked bored but Gabriella was excited.

Connor threw Jimmy against the wall after they pulled him out of the bed. Murphy put his gun to the mans face as he started yelling at him. Gabriel stood behind Connor with his arms crossed over his chest and a deep frown. Gabriella had a big smile on her face and was almost bouncing behind Murphy. Murphy was asking Jimmy where his boss was but Jimmy was swearing he didnt know. Gabriella leaned forward to Murphy.

" Hes lying." She said. Jimmy looked at her angrily.

" No Im not! Listen, sweetheart, just keep your mouth shut and look pretty, huh?" Jimmy snapped.

Connor and Murphy looked at each other then at her. Gabriella's smile had disappeared. She placed her hands on their shoulders and pushed them away from Jimmy. Gabriel sighed and shook his head. Connor started to laugh while Murphy eyed her carefully as she stepped in front of Jimmy. She placed her hands on either side his head, on the wall, as she peered into his face.

" What does sweetheart mean?" She asked. Jimmy nervously looked from Murphy to Connor.

" Is she for real?" He asked.

" Dont look at them when I am talking to you. What does sweetheart mean?" She asked.

" Its a term of endearment." Jimmy said. Gabriella tilted her head slightly.

" Am I dear to you?" She asked.

" I just meant you." Jimmy said. " I dont even know your name."

" My name is Gabriella, I am a warrior of God, an arch angel. You may not call me sweetheart. Now, you are going to answer all of my Murphy's and my Connor's questions because if you dont, I am going to strike you down with my heavenly sword of fire, is that clear...sweetheart?" She asked. Jimmy nodded.

" I didnt mean to offend you." He said softly. She smiled.

" Thank you."

" Your kind of a scary girl." Jimmy said.

" I know." She said before she stepped back.
