"I don't doubt that," Finn said. "You know him from a foster home?" Raphael asked. Finn nodded.

"What else do you know him from?" Jackie asked. Seph's thoughts hadn't been particularly clear, but they had enlightened Jackie to a couple facts that Finn seemed to be avoiding.

Finn scowled at Jackie. "We were in the same foster home when we were sixteen. We were both angry and fucked up and he was manipulative as hell."

"Which is why you guys, you know--" She bumped the ends of her index fingers together a few times.

"I did not fuck him!" Finn yelped. "God, give me some credit."

"Oh, okay. Whew." Jackie flicked a loose piece of hair out of her face. "Seph didn't make it very clear."

"That's because he wanted to," Finn grumbled. "And he's probably on every drug known to man." He avoided looking at Raphael. A knot Raphael hadn't noticed in his gut eased when Finn denied having sex with Seph. Not that it would have mattered, but it still made him feel better anyway. "So who wants to find out where he's going?" he asked, pulling out his phone and finding the GPS on it.

"Not me," Jackie said. "I don't want to be in thinking distance of that guy again."

"But he knows who our murder angel is. And he's probably going back there now," Raphael said. "Yes, let's follow the junkie back to a sociopathic demigod. You really are the brains of this operation, aren't you, Raph?" Finn said irritably. "I just want to see where he's going, that's all. And the spell I put on him only has so big a radius from me, alright?"

"What if this fallen was actually right next door to you the whole time?" Jackie said, "How awkward would that be?"

Raph grinned. "Most awkward neighbor ever," he said. "But I'm going. You guys can stay if you want." Finn sighed. "Sometimes I hate you," he said, and with a glance at Jacke followed Raphael to the door.

Jackie hesitated a moment before skittering after them.

Raphael's spell made Seph show up as a blinking green dot on his phone's GPS map. Thankfully, he did not go into a house on their street, but headed downtown, towards a street full of dilapidated and mostly abandoned stores and offices. Raphael rounded the corner in time to see the ragged hem of Seph's long coat disappear into what had once been a mom & pop pet store. Raphael sidled up to the big display window and peeked in, but the front was too dark to see anything clearly.

(I totally read that as mom & poop pet store XD)
Jackie looked over the front of the store. Sketchy, she thought. She took a deep breath and focused on the energies in the store. She could feel Seph there, and another unfamiliar presence. It felt hot, and it stung Jackie like she was being burned every time she focused on it for too long. It sent shivers down her spine. "It's there," she said quietly.

(Well I suppose there are more poops than pops there so XD )
Finn didn't need Jackie's whisper to tell him that. Every hair on his body was prickling and a hot shiver ran down his spine. "We should go," he said. "I suppose so," Raphael said regretfully, when the hot shiver suddenly felt like molten lead trickling down Finn's back and, from inside the store, Seph shrieked in pain.
