Chapter 7

Joan opened the door of her house and walked in.

"Joan?" Helen called. "Your father called."

"Yeah, is he here?"

"No, he's still at the station."

"Well, I'll be in my room."

"Joan, honey, do you want to tell me what is going on?"

"Not really, you can ask Dad."

Will walked through the door a couple hours later.

"Will," Helen said. "Is someone going to tell me what's going on?"

"Not now, Helen. I need to talk to Joan. Joan? Joan!"

"I'm not here."

Will opened the door.

"I said I'm not here."

"Well, we haven't caught Gaia, yet. We're still looking, though."

"Dad, I think Gaia's running from a murderer."

Will stood in the doorway in silence. "Are you sure?"

"I wish I wasn't, but yes, I'm sure."

"Honey, you're going to have to tell me everything if we are going to save this girl."

"So, she's running to keep whoever it is that's following her," Joan's father began, "away from her friends so they don't end up hurt?"

"Yeah."

"What about a weapon? Did she appear to be carrying any for of a weapon?" Officer Sanders asked.

"No. Not that I could tell. I mean, she had a book bag, it was pretty stuffed, she could have had something in there."

"I see," Will said. "Well, Gaia left her book bag in the park, so we have one of our men searching it as we speak."

"Chief," another officer said. "I just finished the search on Gaia's book bag."

"And?"

"Well, no weapons. There were some textbooks, a couple of days of clothes, and a note written to an Ed Fargo."

"Can I have a look at the note?"

"Sure."

Dear Ed Fargo,

I'm sorry that I couldn't say goodbye, but I had to get out of New York. Oliver is showing signs of turning back into Loki, and I can't bear the thought of you getting hurt again. If I stuck around any longer, you'd end up just like Mary and Ella and all the other people I've hurt. So I need to leave and get Loki out of New York, because I know he will follow me.

Don't worry about me. I can take care of myself. But Ed, remember, any sign of Loki, run. I'm not going to loose you.

I love you,

Gaia Moore

"'Oliver is showing signs of turning back into Loki'?" Joan read.

"Do a search for Gaia Moore and Ed Fargo. See if there is any results of an Oliver or Loki. Start with New York." Will commanded.

"Dad? What if-"

"Honey, I'm going to need you to step outside the office. We have a lot on our hands right now."

"Why the long face, Joan?" a woman to her left was filling a cup of coffee.

"Do you even have to ask that question? I am way over me head."

"Think about what this Gaia Moore is going through. She loves this Ed Fargo, wants to be with him, but thinks that if she's going to stay with him, he will die."

"Would he?"

"What?"

"Would he die? If she stayed with him?"

"I don't know, but Gaia has taken history and learned from it. She opened up to Mary, Loki didn't like that, so Mary died."

"Will I die?"

"Everyone dies, Joan. But don't worry, you have quite a long time to enjoy life."

"God, why did you do this to Gaia? Make her life like this?"

"I didn't. Loki did."

"Will you tell me who this Loki guy is?"

"Sorry, I don't want to be late." With that, God turned around and left.
