Aekhem

NARITA AIRPORT, Tokyo, Japan.

Aekhem would have loved to show Abigael how the Japanese became one of the most efficient and effective people in the world. You could appreciate the organization they lived under as soon as you walk out of the plane.

More than an airport, Narita's International Terminal was a shopping mall, restaurants, stores, and bars. But instead, all the screens were talking about the terrible accident of Flight Aeromexico AM 58 flying to Japan and to that specific airport.

Aekhem knew chances of that being a coincidence were none. Abigael turned towards the screen Aekhem was looking at and started to read the translation in english and could not believe what she was reading. And just like Aekhem, she did not believe in coincidences. Nowadays it was close to impossible for an airplane to just fall off the sky into the Pacific Ocean.

Aekhem turned to her and she understood. They were looking for them and for what it seemed, not to talk or interrogate anymore. But who?

Angels did not fly to airplanes and made them crash. That was not how they did things.

Aekhem walked to the Mexican Airline stand and asked in perfect spanish what had happen.

The employees did not give him a straight answer but he read their minds and they were as confused as their answers. According to the report they just received the plane had gone through a regular FAA full inspection a week before and the report was clean.

He knew internet blogs were going to be filled about the prophecies of planes coming down the sky for no reason was the beginning of the end. They could not be farther from the truth. But airplanes do not fall off the sky for no reason.

There was no time to investigate or to ask more questions. If they could make a plane go down just like that, they probably knew by now they made the wrong plane go down.

Cameras! Right, he looked around and he could see close to ten security cameras. They have been identified. The descendants, he thought, who else?. The extremists group, Tusuer's descendants who survived the big catastrophe.

Abigael was still watching the monitor and the news and Aekhem turned to the monitor as her jaw opened wide.

She saw a clear picture of him and her taken by a security camera at LAX. Terrorists!. They were being sought by the US Government and now the Japanese Government. The news clearly stated that an Italian Intelligence Office had declared them terrorists against the US Government.

"Isabella" he thought.

She had been searching for him and trying to find out what he looked like as human, and now she knew. He walked fast to Abigael and took her hand.

He heard someone yelling behind him. He turned and saw a couple of security officers with guns in hand aiming at them asking them to stay where they were standing.

Aekhem turned to look to the other side of the hallway and there was no one yet, they started running to that direction, he was looking for an exit door. The long corridors made him wish for his wings, but there was not enough room for both of them. Before they reached the end a door opened at the end and three tall Japanese men came in.

Aekhem stopped. They were wearing long black trenches and it was clear they did not have good intentions underneath them.

The three at the same time pulled out high caliber automatic machine guns and started walking towards Aekhem and

Abigael. She told Abigael:

"Welcome to Japan" as he said this a light surrounded his body for less than a half second and there was the Angel, more than seven feet of whiteness with wings on his back, sword on his right hand and a big weapon on the left in fighting position. Abigael reacted the same way but instead of a sword, two guns on each hand, what can a sword do against bullets?
