Chapter 10: The Gateway

Amir spent the rest of the night on his couch, staring blankly at the wall. When the clock told him it was six a.m., he left the couch just long enough to turn on the coffee pot, and fix himself a cup. He sat back down and sipped absently, his eyes focusing back on the spot he’d been staring at all night.

This is how Sarah found him when she appeared out on his balcony. She must have just flown in and landed on his roof, since she had obviously climbed down the fire escape. She slid the door open and let herself in. She paused in the doorway, taking in his disheveled appearance and broken expression.

“What have you done?” Her voice was panicked as she rushed into the room and knelt to stare him in the eye. He lifted heavy eyelids to return her gaze and shook his head.

“I’ve hurt her, Sarah. It’s over.”

Sarah sighed with relief and nodded her head. “Good. I know it hurts Amir, but it’s really for the best. You would have fallen and you know it.”

He nodded his agreement bleakly and stared at the bottom of his empty coffee mug. “He’s sent for me, hasn’t he?”

Sarah nodded. “New assignment. Right in the nick of time I’d say.”

Amir took her outstretched hand and allowed her to help him to his feet. “No matter how I’ve been acting lately,” he said, “I’m always grateful that you are my friend, Sarah.”

Without a word, they walked together to the balcony. Sarah morphed into her angelic form first, spread her wings, and shot up into early morning sky. Amir was hot on her heels.
