Karen was setting a painting down of a simple valley view when Jason walked in. She turned and smiled, "Hey Jason, I'm fine and yourself?" The woman stood up straight and faced the boy. She remembered someting she needed Alexis to do before Sunday's show and quickly texted her to do it after school.

Alexis was pretty distracted with catching up on things but she thought she saw something out of the corner of her eye. She looked over by the wall and shrugged assuming it was nothing. Alexis looked at Dominic for a moment and saw he glanced at her then smiled and looked back at the teacher. Her phone vibrated and when the teacher wasn't looking she quickly looked at it:

"Hey hun, I need you to grab that brochure order from the printing store for this Sunday."

From:Mom

Alexis replied with a "of course" and stuffed the phone back into her pocket. She hated going on errands but since her mother was busy she had to.

"I'm doing fine, thanks. What do you have for me to do today?" Jason set his backpack on a chair and looked over at her expectantly. While looking at her, he chose to casually look through the eyes of those demons he had sent to observe to make sure they were settling in appropriately. He and Matthias had spent much of the night connecting him to the ghost-like demons so he could get information quicker. Those in the house were doing their jobs fine.

A glance into the the eyes of the one set at the school showed him an unhappy sight. Dominic was there in class with Alexis. He had infiltrated the school. Why hadn't Jason wanted to go to the school again? Now it was enemy territory. And who knew what kind of things he could fill her head with when he had around six hours in which she was stuck with him.

Jason just had to hope they'd sent some inept, too righteous angel to her. That would put her off.

Dominic's horrible blue eyes found the spectre and Jason felt it as the angel banished the creature from the school.

A shot of pain went through Jason's head and he stumbled as the world spun. His hand grabbed hold of a nearby table until he could steady himself and the pain faded.

When everything cleared up, Jason sighed and stood up again. "That was weird." He muttered. Pain like that hadn't happened in...well, centuries. Jason had started to feel immune to physical problems. What kind of angel was Dominic that he could send that sort of thing through a spectre?

Karen thought for a moment then said, "If you could, go pick up the camera lenses I ordered. They came in at Best Buy yesterday." She watched him grab the table and gave him a wondering, and worried, look then asked, "You okay?"

Alexis went through her boring clasees one after the other and completed her tests. After all of her studying they were a snap. A weird thing she noticed as that Dominic was in a lot of her classes. It was possible but just stuck a little odd to her. When the bell rang for her last class she slowly got out of her seat and stopped by her locker.

She put away the books that she wouldn't need and talked to the blonde friend who was going on about some rumors she heard. The precentage of time Alexis spent actually listening to Sarah talk was maybe twenty percent. Alexis did a good job of hiding that since when she picked up bits and pieces she can piece the conversation together. Sarah left when she had said everything she could and got a few nods from Alexis.

Alexis closed her locker and started heading out of the school building when she pulled her phone out and opened a text message to Jason:

"This is Alexis. Has Mom told you about the art show this Sunday? It is otional, but thought I should at least tell you about it, she always forgets."

To:Alexis

She sent it off and headed towards her car wondering if Mom did actually tell him and he was or wasn't going. "I wonder if I shold invite Dominic to be nice." Alexis could remember when she was new and no one ever talked to her or invited her to anything. Alexis stopped and looked behind her at the swarm of students coming out and hanging around the entrance.

Jason snapped back to reality when Karen spoke. He should not have shown that he was in pain to a human. That was not acceptable. No one should have been able to affect him like that. That angel would pay.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I think my blood sugar's just low. I'll pick up a snack on my way to best buy. Do you want anything? Coffee or cookies or something?"

He waited for her response before heading out to his car to make the trek down to the electronics store.

He grinned when he received a text from Alexis. So she was thinking of him, even while Dominic was right there. That was a good sign.

The demon texted her back with, a "Hey, Alexis. She hadn't told me yet, thanks. I'd love to go. How was school?"

He picked up the camera lenses and made his way back to the car.

Dominic went through the school day, spending most of his time subtly observing Alexis and her friends. She seemed to be a fairly aloof girl, generally above the dramas of her high school. Those had been appalling to the angel, who had grown up in a much harder time without the luxury of being concerned about those things these teenagers took for granted. But while he had been saddened by the general population's lack of responsibility, they were not his current job. He could not save everyone if he was to combat Caine.

When school had ended, he made his way through the throng of teenagers to find Alexis. He spotted her on the phone and came up to her with a smile. He drew more than one stare from those around him. Even without an angelic glow, the sun hitting his hair made it shine.

"Hello, Alexis. How were your classes?" He had been in most of them, but there were that minute few she would have had alone.

Karen nodded and shrugged a bit then shook her head when he asked if she wanted anything. When he left she then turned back to her easel.

Alexis got a reply fairly quickly from Jason and smiled then sent:

"Your welcome, but school was uneventful as usual."

To: Jason

When she pressed the send button she heard Dominic's voice. Alexis looked up and smild at him, yb]"They were okay, how was your first day?" He was in most of her classes though so it seemed like an odd question to her.

His hair seemed to glow in the sun, it was so bright that it almost hurt her eyes. Dominic seems way too bright in more ways than one, maybe I am imagining things though, she thought to herself then remembered she wanted to invite him. "Are you busy this Sunday? My mom is having an art show at the exhibition center, you are welcome to come if you want."

Maybe it's (CHILDISH) and maybe it's (WRONG)xx

Dominic shrugged in response to her question. "A little different than I expected. School back in Russia was different. But it was good all the same." Granted he had not gone to anything she would consider remotely related to high school when he had been in Russia, but that was not the point.

Dominic was torn in wanting to go to the art show, but also maintaining reverence for the sabbath. There was a chance Caine would attend. If the demon was present, the angel would need to be also. The sabbath would not be broken by doing his duty. "I love art. I would be glad to go to your mother's show. Will you be there?" He assumed she would be, but it did not hurt to ask. The magnitude of human ingenuity and creativity had always amazed the angel. The things people could do when properly inspired! So much beauty could come from mankind, it was a shame so much talent was often left to waste.

Jason sent a reply to Alexis before heading back to the studio.

That's a shame. You should make your day more eventful by hanging out with me after work.

Once in the studio, he placed the camera lenses on a desk and set to organizing and labeling the general area.

Alexis paid her attention to Dominic as he answered her question then nodded in a sort of understanding. Her phone vibrated but she waited to hear Dominic's response to her invitation before seeing the message. He seemed a little hesitant but ultimately answered yes.

Alexis nodded when he asked if she would be there, it would be a little odd for her to invite him but not go herself. "Yeah, I have to go to all of them, she told him.

She quickly pulled her phone out and read the message then typed:

"Depending on the amount of homework I have I might take you up on that."

Alexis put the phone back into her pocket and pulled out a piece of paper with the information about the show. "Here take this," she then wrote her number on it, "If you get confused about the directions or have any questions call me."

She smiled at him then said, "I have to go though and do a few errands for my mom, it was nice meeting you Dominic." Alexis turned and headed to her car.

Dominic took the number with a smile and waved as Alexis left for her car. He felt like the day had been successful. He had made contact with the girl, had plans to see her again, and had her number to contact her between times. Protecting her from Caine might not be quite as difficult as he had initially anticipated.

The Angel pocketed the paper and walked down the street. He did not have lodgings quite yet, or a car like Caine did. He did not really need them. At some point he might need a house--on the off chance that Alexis wanted to go there.

The Angel went to work out how he might go about acquiring such a thing. Whatever he needed, the Lord would provide, but only if he actually needed it. He had been entrusted with this mission and would only receive the aid he required, nothing more.

In the end he decided to simply maintain a home outside of the town and commute in. That way he could establish a place free from Caine's influence.

He left the town, slowly fading from the view of those around him, and wandered out of the town's vicinity to build his house.

((That's okay. Sorry it took me a while to get back to you.

Just assume Jason got the text. I can't think of much else of interest he'd be doing.))

Alexis drove off towards the printing store for the brochures. She had to look them over before getting all of them for Sunday. She looked them over and when she approved them she put the boxes in her car and sighed. Her mother was home all day and couldn't do this herself it seems, so she made her daughter do it.

Karen smiled when Jason came back with the new lenses and, like a child, grabbed her camera replacing the lenses. She looked through it and then snapped a photo of Jason as he organized. Karen looked around through it some more, just for fun.

It didn't take long for Alexis to get home and she packed the boxes inside to the kitchen. There were quite a few but it was good they weren't too heavy. She looked around to see if she needed to do anything and didn't know. The teachers didn't give out any homework and all her tests were done for a while.

She headed into the living room and did a very typical teenage thing. She started watching tv and lay on the couch. Alexis rarely watched television but it was one of those moments and she wanted to catch up on all the episodes she missed that were recorded.

Let me know if you want to do anything. I don't have homework anymore. My afternoon is at your disposal.

The demon texted Alexis back.

Jason continued working but froze as he heard the click of the camera. Cameras were going to be his downfall. He could bend his appearance any way he liked to the human eye, but the camera had some ridiculous ability to show truth. He had been cursed when he'd left the grace of God. The father had said there would be a mark placed upon him so that all people would know who he was. Most of the world had forgotten by this point and normally could not spot it, so his curse was not apparent.

But cameras. Once photos had been developed or put on computers, he could alter them. However, that involved getting to the photo in time.

If Karen looked at the picture in the camera right away she would get a nasty surprise. The second she stopped playing with it he would need to grab the camera. She was having fun, the joy in her new toy was clear in her face. Jason did not appreciate joy, however. He was just impatient with her.

He stood up and moved over to her. He would need to be very clever about how he went about this.

"Hey, could you teach me how to take pictures sometime? I've never done much with photography." This was a blatant lie. Jason knew about everything there was to know about photography and film and everything else that was a thorn in his side. He had to or there would be people running all over the place yelling about the demon in their midst.

Karen held the camera in her hand as Jason asked if she could teach him a few things about photography. "Sure, I will soon.At the moment though I have to stop playing with it," She said and left the studio.

Karen walked to the living room and looked at Alexis who was watching an episode of Bones. "Hey extract the pictures off this? I know it is close to full. Just put it on my flash drive." she asked Alexis who paused the show. Alexis sighed and sat up taking the camera from her then headed up the stairs.

Karen was back at th studio when Alexis reached her room. Alexis went to her computer and connected everything. "I don't understand why I always have to do this," she mumbled to herself but turned her tv on and started where she left off downstairs.

Alexis wasn't really paying attention to the photos she transferred to the flash drive as she watched Bones. She was close to the most recent photos including the ones today.

Jason watched in frustration as Karen scampered off with the camera. He followed her through the vision of the demons he had placed in the house. His ire turned to horror as she handed the camera to Alexis and left it with her to upload. She could not see those photos. She probably would not know what they were, but the curiosity to figure it out might get the best of her and would cause all sorts of problems for Jason.

He needed an excuse to go into the house. Or at least to get Alexis out of it. Luckily she appeared absorbed in her television show. Perhaps she would not notice at all.

He glanced at the clock on his phone and decided he was probably done with work. He sent Alexis a quick text:

Did you decide if you wanted to do something?

Then he turned to Karen and said, "I'm about done here, is there anything else you'd like me to do?"

He was itching to get inside and delete those pictures. He hoped Alexis would get him to come in or something.

Alexis finished the episode and was about to look back at the computer when her phone vibrated. The pictures flashed over her computer screen as they were transferring automatically. She looked at the message on her phone and gave a look of contemplating then was about to reply when a error message appeared on the screen. One of the photos couldn't transfer to the flash drive. "Well, she won't miss one photo. I can try and fix it later."

She pulled out the flash drive and closed all the windows. She had no idea which one it was but it wasn't a big deal. Alexis got up and kept the flash drivee in one of her desk drawers..

When Jason spoke Karen thought for a moment and was about to say there wasn't anything else then something hit her, "Hey could you get Alexis for me, she is in the house. Upstairs, second door on the right is where she should be."

Alexis picked up a few things in her room and fell back onto the bed and stared at the ceiling in thought.

His luck was turning around. He now had the perfect excuse to go in and steal things. It was good his employer was scatter brained and had forgotten she had a phone. "I would be happy too." He answered Karen, stepping outside the studio and hurrying over to the house. He followed the instructions once entering the household. He already knew the entire layout of the house, but it was good to keep up appearances.

He knocked on the door to Alexis's bedroom. "Alexis? It's Jason. Your mom asked me to come get you."
