Mike got into his car, angry and confused and yeah, a little scared. He couldn't figure out what the hell was going on but he felt so completely alone, something he would never admit.

He got into his car to drive home grasping the steering wheel so hard that his knuckles turned white. Those two deserve each other, he thought to himself, "And why do I care anyway, I've got Kate!" With that last statement, there was suddenly a person sitting next to him.

Mike nearly ran off the road, barely able to keep his car in control he ended up sideways. Thankfully, it was late and there was no traffic.

Mike's eyes were wide with fear, "Wha...how did you...where did..." Mike trailed off the question as he realized it was not the man from the station, but a beautiful young woman. She had long flowing blonde hair, peircing blue eyes and full red lips. She was wearing a long white gown, almost like a wedding dress, but simpler, much simpler.

"Who the hell are you now?" Mike asked, trying to mask his fear. She smiled at him, making her even more beautiful.

"My name is Sarah, I'm your guardian angel." Mike frowned at her. "Yeah, right," he responded.

She looked at him very seriously and said, "Michael Celluci, I AM your guardian angel and if you don't let me help you, Barbas will win, he will come for you as he said." Mike's eyes widened and he could hide his fear no longer.

"You mean John Smith, the man from the station." She laughed, "Is that the name he is using? Yes, that's who I mean, but he cannot harm you if you let go."

Mike didn't understand, "Let go of what?" She shook her head, "Silly man, your fear of course."

Mike was puzzled now, "Fear of what? I am not afraid, or at least I wasn't until this ...Barbas came today."

Sarah looked at him intently, "Yes, you are afraid. You are afraid to move on, you are afraid you are falling in love with Kate, you are afraid that you might actually like Henry Fitzroy, the Vampire." Mike again was surprised, "Look lady, I have had a REALLY crappy day and I don't need you or anybody else telling me about me, okay? Or what you think you know about me. So get the hell outta my car, I gotta get up and go to work!"

She just stared at him. Mike stared back, but he blinked and she was gone. He looked around, in his rearview, side mirrors, everywhere but she was just gone. He put his head on the seat and closed his eyes, letting out a breathe he hadn't realized he was holding. "Man, I gotta take some vacation," he said out loud to himself. With that, he put his car in gear and then grabbed his cell phone. At least he could let Vicki know a name, if in fact this was all happening to him...

"Hello?" said the male voice, great, Fitzroy. "Yeah, FA..uh Henry, Vicki busy?" asked Mike not hiding his indignation very well.

"Sure, let me get her," he heard Henry call out to Vicki "phone" which told Mike that at least he wasn't "interrupting" anything.

"Mike?" Vicki asked, "Are you okay? I'm sorry that..." He cut her off, "Vic, just listen, I'm sorry, It's just this stuff, it weirds me out ya know? Anyway, I had another visitor. A woman this time. Said her name was Sarah, " he didn't know if he could say the next line without her laughing, "she said she's my "guardian angel" and that this man's name is really Barbas. Vic, you there?"

"Uh, yeah, Mike, okay I'll get with Coreen first thing. We'll look it up. Did she say why this guy was after you by any chance." Oh, boy, he did not want to answer that.

"Well, that's where it's even more weird because, it just doesn't fit," he kind of let out a little laugh, "She says I need to let go of my "fears". Can you believe that?" He said giving a nervous laugh again.

"What, you mean your fear of letting go, your fear of falling in love with Kate, your fear of friendship with Henry?" Vicki asked, very calm and even.

Did this woman talk to Vicki first?
