After the roller coaster ride that had plunged Donnelly into his new role as Guardian Angel, he hoped that things would quiet down some.
Fortunately that seemed to be the case, as his charge was currently simply watching a man play basketball.
Back to what appeared to be their base of operations and a little background info on this new target. An auction for the rich seemed safe enough. Boring, but safe. Donnelly followed Reese as he circulated amongst the guests, but didn't think he would need to intervene. The only excitement came during the auction. Donnelly was initially shocked that they could drop $10 million dollars just to keep a cover going, but thinking back to the the time and expense that must have gone into constructing John Warden's persona he shouldn't be surprised at the resources they had available.
The night ended when their target took off in a helicopter, arrogantly flouting the law.
When Reese next picked up his target the man was parading about in a jacket and his underwear. At least if the day was going to be spent in surveillance it shouldn't pose too much of a threat to Reese.
Then the motorcycle chase happened. It looked like one or both of the participants was headed for a nasty accident. Reese might have plowed into a cab if Donnelly hadn't exerted his new angelic powers and grabbed the back of the bike to help stop it in time. By the time Reese caught up to the target he was gone again.
Reese apparently decided on a more direct approach. After a brief altercation with the bodyguard (Reese in no real danger) they settled down in the penthouse. Donnelly's hopes for a quiet evening were shattered when Reese's target apparently fell victim to poisoning. Donnelly was astonished at Reese's unorthodox treatment for anaphylactic shock. That scare dealt with, Reese headed out to meet up with his partner. The two were so engrossed in their conversation that they failed to notice their wayward target sneaking up on them.
The flight to Russia gave Donnelly a chance to check back in heaven and inform his superior of the current situation. Then Donnelly had a little down time until they landed and went to a bar of all places. Reese dealt with the threat posed by the lawyer easily. But then all the others showed up. Donnelly was beginning to think that whatever angel had this billionaire as a charge might be worse off than Donnelly, as the man seemed to have no sense of self preservation.
Fed up, Reese left the billionaire to his own devices. Information from his partner had Reese go to check out the hotel room. Donnelly tensed as Reese prepared to enter the hotel room, anticipating trouble. Both he and Reese were surprised at what they found.
Reese went to reacquire his target, who had apparently once again found trouble. But even at two-to-one odds Reese didn't require Donnelly's intervention.
Back in the US, things seemed to have finally calmed down. Reese's target even seemed appreciative.
But Donnelly couldn't help but wonder how the target's new partner would fare when something new caught the man's attention?
