"I'm fine." I assured him. "How are you guys?"
"We're fine." Uncle Sam said. "Do you know who that is?"
"No. The power was familiar, but I don't recognize the name."
"Whoever she is, she's not coming near you." Dad decided.
"I don't know." I hesitated. "I want to know why she was so interested in finding me."
"No way." Dad said. "I agreed to you being bait but this too far."
"She's gonna come back for me anyway."
"Exactly, so don't go looking for her. We don't even know what she is."
"She didn't seem like a demon." Uncle Sam said. "Her eyes were weird."
"She's a mix of things." I informed them. "Demon is one of them. I can't put my finger on the others. Maybe there's some angel but I can't be so sure about that."
"Your staying away from her." Dad dictated.
"What are you gonna do if she comes back?" I asked. "No doubt she will."
"I'm not saying she won't." Dad said. "All I'm saying is we should wait for her to come to us. Then we take care of her."
"Are you saying we kill her?" I asked. "We don't even know what she wants."
"She killed seven defenseless girls! Just to get to you!"
"Let's all just get some rest." Uncle Sam said. "Tomorrow we'll all go home and you guys can talk to Cas about this."
"What's more, we don't know how to kill her." I pointed out. "If she's a mix of things then something that can kill one part of her could leave another unaffected. We've never dealt with something like her."
"Fine." Dad gave in. "But don't think I'm letting my guard down at all. You either. Keep a knife under your pillow."
"I do anyway." I said. "You know that."
"Then keep two. I want you staying safe."
"Okay Daddy."
"I just want you to stay safe." Dad said.
"I'll be fine Daddy." I said. "I have you and Dad there to protect me. And I know how to take care of myself."
"Now get some sleep." Dad instructed. "We leave first thing. No exceptions."
"Alright." It was going to be a long day tomorrow.
