Angels

Chapter 24- Hometown

"I hope he's here so we can just kill him already," Mitch said, hands gripping the wheel as they drove towards a town called Aaronbrooke. Hannah was texting Teffy on her phone.

"Teffy and Alen landed a few minutes ago. They don't know how service will be but they'll touch base when they're settled in," Hannah explained.

"Alright. How much do you want to bet this was a trap set by the Org?" Mitch joked.

"Nah, they know we're tracking him but they can't call out their location to us, either," Hannah replied. "Alen probably would've recognized any trap they set, anyways, this is fleet three territory."

"True, they've been wrong before, though," Mitch said. "There's a place we can sleep here, right?"

"Yeah, it's further down the road," Hannah explained. "It'll be on the right, I think. Alen said there's a town around here with three major hunting families that the Org has recognized as independent, they could always be here, remember. But they should be pretty dormant."

"Let's hope they don't interfere and make us leave, because if the Org recognized them they're probably pretty good," Mitch suggested, turning into the small motel and parking her Jeep Wrangler.

"Or they're just really bad or quiet so the Org doesn't care about them," Hannah replied.

The two booked a room and decided to walk around the town looking for any lead signs of either Robert or another hunter.

"I had a science test today and I'm about a hundred percent sure I failed," Sam explained. "And my bag's heavy because of this stupid history textbook."

"Stop complaining, it's not really that bad. At least you are something, I didn't have lunch, I spent all of my lunch hanging around Megan's friends in the music room," Marc explained.

"Ew," Sam replied.

"Nah they're cool," Marc said.

"Ew to music though, I can't stand trying to make music I don't know how they do it," Sam explained. "I swear you know everyone though."

Marc shrugged. "You're not wrong, I know a lot of people."

"Those people are looking around weird, they're hunters," Sam spoke out, pointing to two maybe 19-ish aged people. They were watching people pass and looking around, almost searching for something. Sam also spotted what looked like symbols on one's beanie and the other's jacket. "They're hunters."

"So?" Marc asked.

"They're after an angel and I need to make sure it's not Damien's family," Sam explained, his voice low.

"Sam, Damien's family are too nice to seem suspicious," Marc replied, Sam started walking their way anyways, crossing the street and instantly grabbing their attention as he walked over, Marc followed behind at a short distance.

"Are you looking for something?" Sam asked.

"Yeah, can you help us?" the blonde one asked, looking over at the other.

"I'm Sam and this is Marc," Sam greeted, regretting not wearing something with his symbol that day. "Depends what you're looking for."

"I'm Mitch and this is Hannah," the brunette explained.

"So what are you looking for?" Marc asked. The two exchanged a look.

"We're looking for someone," Mitch explained. "A man named Robert."

Sam looked over at Marc, that wasn't Damien's dad's name, so he was safe, thankfully.

"Do you know any Roberts?" Hannah asked.

"It depends, what does he look like?" Marc asked.

"An angel. He's an angel," Mitch said.

"Yeah we're hunters," Sam confirmed.

"Good, have you heard of Robert? We think we've tracked him down to Aaronbrooke, have you noticed any strange angel activity?" Mitch asked. Sam looked over at Marc. He knew they were probably noticing stuff from Sam and Damien just messing around, Marc glared at him, having told Sam to be more careful.

"What sort of activity?" Marc asked.

"I don't know, really, it was definitely something, though," Hannah replied.

"We can help you search, if you'd like," Sam offered.

"That's not necessary, but if you could keep an eye out for him that'd be appreciated," Mitch replied. "We've been trying to track him for a while."

"Okay, what's he look like?" Marc asked.

"He's got neon pink hair and orange eyes, but he wears brown contacts. He usually wears a lot of bright purple. He's pretty hard to miss," Hannah explained.

"What power does he have? What can he do?" Sam asked.

"We don't know, he doesn't make it obvious which makes him hard to track," Mitch explained.

"Alright, we'll keep an eye out," Sam explained.

The four exchanged contacts before Sam and Marcus continued home.

"That was me and Damien," Sam explained, panic and worry clear in his voice. "How many hunters might we have attracted? If these two came are there any other hunters watching for us?"
