Lobo's was packed more than usual. Abby pushed through the crowd and made her way to the bar. "Hey, where's Nico?"

"Ah, the good priest is taking a meeting in the back." Lobo handed her a glass of water. "Not sure if you want to go back there right now."

She tilted her head and sized him up. "Why not?"

His ears twitched. "Some of the people he’s meeting aren't too keen on working with you."

"Why? I’m helping."

"I know that, and you know that. And most of all, Nico knows that. But these people," he pointed a thumb at the door to the back room, "They’re a bit highbrow in the smite-them-all-ask-questions-later department."

"More nuns?"

"Oh god no. Pretty sure we've had our share of psycho ex-nun's showing up in town."

Abby laugh and nodded in agreement. "Have you seen her around?"

"Nope, I can smell her though and she's not too far."

"Must be planning her evil schemes."

"I think considering what we know about her that's pretty much a given."

Abby leaned back against the bar taking in the scene. Many of the people weren't locals and the outsiders were eyeing her like she had a target in the middle of her forehead. She nervously looked away and swung back to face the bar. She'd rather watch Lobo hand out drinks than be on the receiving end of the death glares. A rush of relief washed over her as the back door opened and Nico waved at her. She waved back and then frowned when he shook his head and motioned for her to come inside the room. Giving a quick glance at Lobo she pushed her water aside and whispered. "Here goes nothing."

"You'll do fine, kid. Just don't eat anyone." Lobo called.

Her cheeks burned red as the entire bar fell silent and all eyes were on her. She did her best to ignore them and ducked her head as she headed for Nico. As soon as she was inside she found a familiar face grinning over at her. "Lucas! What are you doing here?"

Nico laid his hand on her shoulder. "I've asked him and his brethren here to help. Along with the Personifications, some of the other neutral factions, and a representative of the Dei Caduti. However, he never showed up."

Lucas cracked his knuckles. "What did you expect from Enzo, the wretched beast wouldn't have helped us anyways. He's too busy with his specter."

Abby held up her hand. "Um, who and what are you guys talking about?"

"Nothing." They both said in unison.

"Okay, so if Lucas is here he's helping right?"

Lucas looked down and Nico rocked back on his heels. "Not exactly."

"What?" She could feel the outrage and knew it was showing in her eyes. "How can you not help, for Chloe's sake at the very least?"

"Trust me, Abby. I want to help and I wouldn't just be helping for Chloe's sake, you and Nico are my friends. But it's complicated."

She waited. Waited for some sort of explanation but instead both men motioned toward the other side of the room.
