"I know." Raphael sighed. "I'm trying to think of something. Vlad wasn't really much help. He still wants me to just drop the whole thing."

"Maybe he's right," Jackie said.

Raphael turned and scowled at Jackie. "If I don't do anything, who will? People are dying, and I'm not just going to sit back and let it happen. Not if there's a quarter of a quarter of a chance that I can stop it."

Jackie recoiled slightly at Raphael's tone. "I know," she said, "But putting yourself in that much danger isn't a good solution."

"I don't want to," Raphael said. He sighed. "I don't know. Vlad makes me think somehow Finn can stop it, but I don't see how. Nephilim just aren't that strong."

Someone knocked on the front door. Raphael frowned. "I wonder who that is," he said, and went to answer it. The stranger in the doorway was about Finn's height, maybe a little shorter. It was hard to tell with how skinny he was, and how long his coat was. The right side of his face was covered in a burn scar, and when he smiled it didn't do anything to make his eerie light eyes look any friendlier. "I'm looking for a Raphael Cohen," he said in a thick southern drawl. "That's me," Raphael said. "I'm Seph Wolf. I work for a Fallen angel you've been tailing. Can I come in?" Raphael stepped back but only said, "We'll see." If Seph was more than a normal human, he wouldn't be able to cross the threshold without giving up an enormous amount of magic mojo, if at all. But Seph only looked at him like he was nuts and stepped into the room without issue.

Jackie studied the stranger that came into Finn's apartment, and promptly decided that if she saw him on a street in the dark, she would go the other way.

Seph saw Jackie and grinned. "Sorry, didn't know your girlfriend was over," he said, giving her a once over. "She's not my girlfriend. Who sent you?" Raphael asked, folding his arms over his chest. "I was asked not to tell you that." Asked. Pfft. Warned he'd suffer painful consequences was more like it. "But they want you to lay off. What ever you're doing, stop. Or things will get messy." Raphael grunted. "Who're you grunting at? Grunting's my thing," Finn complained, entering the room. He stopped and stared at Seph, who stared back. "Seph?" "Finn?" Seph grinned, a real one, which didn't make his face much less alarming, and crossed the room. "Where have you been?" he asked, but leaned up and kissed Finn before waiting for an answer.

Jackie's eyebrows went up and she glanced over at Raphael. "What the hell?" she mouthed to him.

Raphael shook his head at Jackie, a sick feeling in his gut. He had no idea what was going on, but he didn't like it at all. Finn pushed Seph off of him. "Oh my god, Seph," he said. "What was that for?" "What? Don't you miss me?" "Are you high?" Finn demanded. "Not enough." "What are you doing here, Seph?" "Talking the raghead out of playing Dudley Do-Right," Seph said. "What?" Raphael protested, and Finn grabbed Seph by the throat. "Don't you ever call him that again," Finn snarled.

"Fuck," Seph wheezed. "I'm sorry, man. You're choking me." "Good," Finn said, but let him go. Seph crumpled to the ground and coughed. "Damn." "I'm not quitting," Raphael told him, deciding to go back to the subject on hand and ask Finn how he knew Seph later. "You can tell your boss that." "Are you kidding?" Seph sat up, massaging his throat. "I can't go back and give her that answer. I'm dead." "That's what you get for working for a demon," Finn said. "Where'd you meet her?" Raphael asked. "A crossroads in Tennassee. That's all I can say, I swear," Seph said.

Raphael sighed. Seph probably wasn't lying about that. He'd probably been magicked to either be unable to give those answers, or to suffer painful consequences if he did. But that wasn't the only way he could find more out... "I don't think we're going to get anything else accomplished here," he said. "That means you can go," Finn said. Seph glared at them and stood up. "Good to see you too. Asshole." "Don't let the door hit you on the way out, fucktard." Seph flipped Finn the bird, and then slammed the door behind him.

"Wow, what a sweetheart," Jackie said, staring at the door Seph had just gone through.

"No kidding," Raphael said. "It's not all his fault,"Finn said. "I think I need to go disinfect my mouth though."

"While your doing that, I need to go disinfect my brain. Uck, his mind was yucky," Jackie said. "You know that little layer of fuzz things get when they're moldy? Yeah, my brain feels like it's covered in that."
