Dealing with it

Trisha stared in shock

Paul acknowleged Israfel by a slight head nod.
"Are you really sure you want this, Erika?" Paul asked.
Mark slipped out the door, headed somewhere quiet.

Erika looked up at Noah and closed her eyes for a second, looking back at Paul.
"Well, I want to help with Dina and everything, and I know that I can see the killer and what he did, but I don't know who he is. If you see, you might recognize him..." Erika took another deep breath and looked back up at Noah then back to Paul.

"Okay." Paul said.
"As long as you're sure." Paul said, transitioning to Phantom quickly.
"I'm getting kind of good at this." He said, with a kind of smile across his face.
He touched Erika's hand, and instead of just jumping right into her, he turned into a blue spark, and flew up through her arm into her mind.

Paul appeared at Dina's death.
He was next to Erika, who was reliving the moment.
"Erika, I can't see his face. I need you to show me his face."

Erika felt Paul's presence and heard what he said and nodded, shifting her view of the incident so he could see the murderer's face.
"Can you see his face?" Erika asked in a whisper.

"He's so silver." Paul said, turning his head when the man killed Dina.
He left her body then, and floated out.
He looked over at JD.
"He's completely silver. Wears a mask. Said it wasn't personal, that she was just closest. And then he took her last breath." Paul said.
"He took it to..Scorpion Town." Paul looked at JD with just a twinge of "here we go" in his eyes.

Ruby sighed, and Erika blinked, taking a deep breath.
Ruby looked over at Bell, wondering what she made of all this.

Noah looked at Erika quietly.

Erika squeezed Noah's hand for a moment and Ruby asked "Are we going to try to find him?"

Noah looked at Erika, and then looked at the window.
It was open just enough.
He nodded his head towards the window.

Erika nodded and smiled at him.
"We'll be back," Erika said, looking back up at Noah.

Noah put his arms around Erika, smiled as a goodbye wave, and they disappeared out the window, a small boom being the only trace that they were there.
(Sound barrier break!)

Erika couldn't keep from smiling as they flew out.
"Young love," Ruby commented with a smile.
Erika held onto Noah tightly, feeling the strength in his arms to hold her up.

Paul smiled.
He transformed back to Paul(from Phantom).
"He's a real ladykiller."

Ruby smiled and laughed a little.

"Well ...... any ideas anyone?" Trisha asked kinda confused bye the last moment

Israfel gave JD a pointed look, then said,
"I never expected Latin from you... You're becoming very distant, you know. I would have killed you by now if not..." He paused.

JD smiled. "If I wasn't a believer. Yes, I know." JD sighed.
"Latin's fun. Old, awesome dead language. Thought you angels would like that."

Bell smiled watching Erika run...erm fly off with Noah, she remained quiet taking everything in.

Ruby smiled at Bell, giving one of those looks.

Bell smiled a little and said "What's that look supposed to mean?"

Ruby smiled and rolled her eyes.
"It means that I need another happy pill!" Ruby whispered to Bell, giggling.

"Didn't you have an extra?" Bell asked

"Well, yes, but I think it wore off and I need another one 'cause my spare is for Erika when she goes downhill." Ruby smiled, teasing.

Bell smiled softly, "You seem pretty happy to me, I wouldn't want you to run out though,"

"Well, I can already feel the depression coming on. Hurry up! It's coming fast!" Ruby suddenly looked depressed and apathetic.

Bell sighed "Rubs, those 'pills' I've been giving you are... actually sugar pills,"

RUby began to crack up. Really hard. Like a laugh attack. She playfully shoved the pregnant woman and said through breaths, "But..... I still.... need them!" Ruby laughed even harder, then wondering what JD thought of what they were doing. They must look like dorks.

JD DID think they were acting like dorks.
Of course, his thoughts bordered more on jargon and techno-babble, so it didn;t quite sound like that.
Ignoring the angel, he turned to the girls.
"Uh, HUH, you two sure you're not on literal pills?"

Bell smiled repressing her giggles, "I don't think I'm on pills, unless people are putting them in my food,"
