CHAPTER TEN
Gloria typed the rest of the paper that Monica should have been publishing. Her glasses reflected the light from the computer screen, her brown eyes glowing brightly. She sighed as it reached twelve o' clock and headed out for her lunch hour. She grabbed her purse after shutting off the computer. Her hand turned the knob of the door and she locked it behind her.
On her way down the hall, she passed Amy, her face filled with fright.
"Everything okay, Amy?" Gloria asked politely.
Amy nodded, though her emotions showed that everything wasn't. Gloria slightly smiled and walked through the revolving glass doors and out into the city. It was temperate out. The sky was once again blue, filled with blotches of fluffy, white clouds here and there.
Amy walked out the back door to find whom she had wanted to see. Kathleen stood there and smirked.
"You ready?" the demon asked. She laughed and pointed to a canister of gasoline. "I'm finished with my part."
Suddenly, gasoline scent filled Amy's nostrils and she waved her hand in front of her nose. "I can tell, Kathy, I can tell. Now where are they?"
Kathleen carefully handed her a small box. Amy's small fingers tugged at a lock until finally it opened. Inside were a few sticks of dynamite. Amy slightly smiled and looked up at a nodding Kathleen.
Andrew hugged Gloria goodbye and vanished. Just then, Tess came up behind Gloria and waved at Andrew, both supervisor and charge holding the same expression.
"Gloria," Tess said. "You have an assignment. And if I were you, I'd get there fast!"
"Tess!" Gloria gasped. She embraced the older angel tightly until Tess pulled away.
"Little Angel, go right now. I'll accept your hug later. There's something that you have to try to stop."
Gloria just gave Tess a sideways glance and found herself disappearing and reappearing at the office. There in front of her Amy laid out dynamite sticks, all around the back of the building. But why was she doing this?
