Archangel Michael paces side to side thinking, arms crossed, and looking at Amelia sitting on the other side of the table in the middle of the room.
Amelia has her hands folded in her lap. She stares at the table in front of her, her expression stoic and her eyes focused on the grain of wood. Michael walks up to the table, leans over with his hands on the table and starts to question Amelia.

Michael: "Amelia, what do you know about Blaine's disappearance?"
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1e2h6MmxKT
Amelia: "I'm sorry, I don't know anything. We spoke briefly a few days ago, but I haven't seen him since then. I don't know where he is or what he was doing."
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JOVH8Drah
Michael: "Do you know who he was talking to?"
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEkm00GgAS
Amelia: "No, I'm sorry I don't. I didn't see him talking to anyone."
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7WVAXT2yO
Michael: "Did he seem distressed or upset? Did he say anything to you before he disappeared?"
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ582se8SDQT
Amelia: "No, he seemed normal. He had just got back from a similar job I was on my way of doing."
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOS63W6pGU
Amelia is starting to feel uneasy about this questioning. She doesn't understand why she is being questioned like she is some sort of suspect.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmZoTs8Tif
Michael: "Amelia, I need you to be honest with me. Is there anything else you know about Blaine and his disappearance?"
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0bH24JjvB
Amelia: "No, I swear. I don't know anything else. I'm worried about him too. He's my mentor and I want him to be safe. I'm sorry I can't be more help."
Michael gets a frustrated look on his face and slams his fist on the table. Amelia's eyes widen as she sees the Archangel expressing emotions of anger.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtWLQGaPMv
Michael: "Very well. I will get to the bottom of this. If you know anything else, it is your duty to tell me immediately."
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7B8d4qcxH
Amelia: "Yes, of course, I will tell you if I find out anything."
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPJkzj5gnS
Michael nods his head and turns away from Amelia, walking out of the room. Amelia looks down, feeling helpless about the situation. She knows that Blaine is in trouble, and she can't do anything to help him.

Blaine has a bag over his head as he is being taken somewhere by Klein. He can hear other angels traveling with them as well. Blaine can't help but wonder where they are taking him. "What's going on Klein? Where are you taking me?" He asks, not expecting an answer.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RJ7xAWY9F
"Just be quiet Blaine, we are just keeping you with us until we complete our plan. If you try to call for help, I will knock you out." Klein responds.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwl1jz64Bu
Blaine is very worried about this plan. These angels seem to be going a bit too far with wanting to get changes to heaven. To get the freedom humans have. They are acting just like humans, trying to resolve or get what they want with violence and fear.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBvIir4C7X
They stop inside a building and Blaine gets tied up against some sort of column. Klein takes the bag off of Blaine's head. As his eyes adjust, he finds they are in a large basement. It is dimly lit, walls made of grey stone and the floor made of cold concrete. There are several large wooden columns and beams throughout the room, providing support to the structure. There are a few chairs and tables scattered around the room, and several tall bookcases at the back of the room. The air is musty, and stale and the only light source is coming from a single torch at the top of the stairs.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5D4DjqZk1q
Blaine looks around at the other angels, they are starting to gather some light energy spheres and start placing them on the columns around the basement and around specific points on the walls around the room. He can only imagine what those spheres are, energy explosives, at least that is what the plan was about. They must be in the basement of the Temple of the Seven and they are setting up the explosives to carry out their plan now. But how did they get all the way in here without being noticed?
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vHvDazsl1
Blaine looks around and sees Klein, talking to another angel. Blaine musters up the courage to speak. "
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBESM8175w
Klein, what are you doing?" Klein turns to Blaine and gives him a stern look. "We are doing what we must to get the changes we want. It is time to take the Temple of the Seven down and show the higher angels that we mean business."
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tkp88MoTa
Blaine looks at Klein with shock. "Klein, you can't do this! It will be too dangerous, and it could result in a war. You must stop this now."
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTpYog7O0K
Klein shakes his head. "No, I'm sorry Blaine. We are going through with this and there is nothing you can do to stop us."
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEFVJ6x46R
Blaine looks around, feeling helpless. He starts to think of a way out, but he knows it is too late. The higher angels will be here soon, and he will be powerless to stop them.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPGZm6SrX2
"How is this going to convince anyone that we deserve the right for freedom as humans do? You are acting just as humans do and this will only give them even more reason to enforce the rules, not let us be freer to do or say what we want." Blaine says trying to convince Klein this is a bad idea.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9iA3v3O4x
Klein takes a deep breath and shakes his head. "I know this is dangerous, but it is the only way. We must show the higher angels that we mean business and that we will not be taken lightly. If we don't do this now, our chance for freedom will be lost forever."
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguVnLGdlvP
Blaine looks down, shaking his head, "This will only end badly, you will all be punished severely if not executed."
Klein looks at Blaine and sighs, "I know, but it's a risk we must take. We must make our voices heard, and this is the only way. I'm sorry Blaine, but this is the only way."

Jonas approaches Amelia at headquarters and asks her to come with her to talk in private. They go into the back room where he talked to Blaine previously about his feelings. He gestures at one of the chairs and tells her to take a seat. He takes a seat on the chair across from her. He leans over with his arms on his lap to get closer to her and speak in a safe and reassuring manner.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXRmnwHxbj
"Amelia, I know you care for Blaine, and I can tell you that he cares for you too. Blaine has talked to me about his feelings and wants to express them to you, but he is scared of the consequences. I want you to know that it is alright to feel something for someone, even if it is against the rules. I understand that it can be difficult to show your emotions, but you will be able to do it without anyone else knowing or without you getting in trouble. You and Blaine can still be there for each other without showing any emotions publicly, just like I am with my mentor." He explains.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ftSNXHlgk
Amelia looks up at Jonas, her eyes filled with hope and understanding of what he is saying. She takes a deep breath and nods her head. "Thank you, Jonas, I understand, I too have been having feelings for Blaine and wish to express them with him, but I'm scared."
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWi1qyyXyA
Jonas smiles, "I'm sure you can express your feelings with him. I believe in both of you, and I know you can figure something out. Just remember that you have my support, I will do whatever I can to help you and Blaine be happy with each other without getting in trouble."
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyecHGBRMW
Jonas sits back up straight and gets a more serious look now, "Okay, with that being said, if you have any information on Blaine's whereabouts, anything that can help us find him, any reason for why he missed his last call, please tell me."
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHrvmVkEMX
Amelia shakes her head, "I'm sorry, I don't know anything else. I haven't seen him since I ran into him on my way to a charge call."
Jonas cannot accept her response and insists for her to tell him anything.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFknapabDh
Amelia: "I'm sorry, I don't know anything else. I'm just as worried about him as you are, but I don't have any information that can help us find him."
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE87rvG5jtX
Jonas nods and takes a deep breath, "You need to tell me what you know, you might think that by not telling me you are protecting him, but all you are doing is making things worse for Blaine. Tell me what you know!"
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7VbLv6byB
Amelia looks down, feeling powerless, "I don't know anything else. I just want him to be safe, I don't know what happened after I left him. I wish I could tell you more, but I don't know anything else."
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNlipAXI9Q
Jonas sighs, he knows she isn't lying, he can feel it. He stands up and walks away. "Thank you for your honesty. I will keep looking for Blaine and hopefully we can find him soon. I'm sorry for doing this to you."
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVJEhdp2zu
Amelia looks up, tears in her eyes. She forces a smile and nods her head, "It's okay. I just want Blaine to be safe."
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgO2G63zxoL
Jonas nods and turns away, walking out of the room. Amelia looks down and prays for Blaine to be safe and for him to come back soon.
