"And we built castles out of couches
Felt fire without matches
Made promises without fear of getting burned
..Its the invisible things that I, that I love the most"

I stand speechlessly, without uttering a word. I was so immersed in finding Prof. Langdon and then got lost in his questions when I found him atlast, I had forgotten to ready myself to pay the consequences of my sins.
And now seeing her standing in her actual Devil form, I realise I should have thought a bit more of how to cope with this
I can loose my freaking job within minutes of getting it.
"What " Prof. Langdon looks to and fro from a-scared-to-death me, to a-glaring-daggers-at-me Lady Devil, and finally settles on the latter, "is the matter Willy?"
"WHAT are you doing here?" she asks me ignoring him. Skipping the shattering glass on the floor she walks towards me with firm angry strides.
I refrain myself the last minute from taking a step back.
She points a finger at me, "YOU, I thought I had asked you to piss off - "
"Willy!" Prof. Langdon says perplexed. "How the fuck do you know her?"
Lady Devil, who apparently is called Willy now turns at him. "Does not today's events teach you a lesson? Its all your fault. How many times had I asked you to allow some form of light and sound in the house so that thieves, " she gives me a smouldering gaze before turning back at him, "do not think of this as their own personal junkyar -"
"Willy -" he starts.
"YOU will let me finish today." Willy interrupts him sternly. "For your own safety I had asked of you, only one, just one teeny tiny bit of favour..and you hadn't granted me that. Now look what you have landed yourself in! Do you ever remember me asking you to come out of your little world of garbage fixing and poison making and live a little of reality - "
"If I start my lecture on how Physics and Chemistry, which, out of all the kindness in your heart you call 'garbage fixing' and 'poison making' - is itself Reality, you would start banging your head on the floor and kick me out of my house. " Prof. Langdon says, annoyed. "And YOU of all people know better than anyone else, why I keep my house the way I do."
"But I clearly think that this isn't precaution, this is over-precaution! And no M-"
Professor Langdon gives her a sharp look. Willy freezes mid-sentence at the look but quickly picks herself up and clears her throat.
I was clutching the sides of my skirt and trying to evaporate myself in air, when Willy's eyes falls on me.
Okay. She isn't angry.
She is hopping mad.
"You," she points at me with her index finger. "I assume I had asked you a question. ANSWER ME!"
Swallowing the lump in my throat I search through my memory for her question.
"What is wrong with you? I clearly remember asking you to get your ass out of the gates and shutting the door on your face - "
"You did what?!" Prof. Langdon's says with disbelief. Willy however chooses to ignore him.
" - so how on Earth are you here?" She continues.
"I...er.. there was this open window - "
"Don't tell me you came in through the window...." Willy says with disbelief at the same time as Prof. Langdon says,
