    K ara’s gigantic face appeared on the screens again.
    David whirled around. “This royally
sucks. And I thought things couldn’t get any worse. How are we
supposed to be incognito with Kara’s gigantic face
everywhere?”
    Jenny leaned closer inside the group.
“I don’t get it. How did the mortals get a hold of your picture?
And why are they blaming you for this. It’s completely
insane.”
    Something caught Kara’s eye across the
street. A white face stood out from the crowd. His black leather
coat grazed the ground with every step as his strong shoulders
swayed back and forth. Even from the distance she could recognize
the hunger in his eyes.
    “ It’s not insane. The Seirs
did this. Look.” Kara cocked her head towards the opposite side of
the street; the others followed her gaze.
    “ I think it’s time to do a
little de-clowning .” David reached inside his jacket, but Kara pulled his hand
away.
    She shook her head and squeezed his
arm gently. “Not here. It’s too dangerous, and there are too many
mortals.”
    “ Look. There’s another one
over there.” Jenny motioned to the left, “Right beside Bobby’s
Candy Store.”
    A Seir leaned against the front of the
shop. He grinned wickedly, uncrossed his arms, and waved at
them.
    David scowled. “We can’t let them get
away with this! First with the bounty on your soul, and now this.
It’s time for a massive butt-whooping!”
    Peter looked around nervously. “David,
lower your voice.”
    A group of men and women pointed their
way. “Look! That’s her! That’s the girl who’s been infecting
everyone.” An older lady looked as though she was about to fall
over.
    “ Oh crap, this isn’t good,”
whispered David, his eyes wide.
    Kara pulled Peter and David around to
face her and lowered her voice. “Let’s start walking slowly away.
Pretend we didn’t hear them. Maybe they’ll just go away and forget
about us. Come on, Jenny, let’s go.”
    With Kara squeezed in the middle, the
four of them waddled down the street like a club sandwich. Their
situation had gone from bad to worse in a matter of
minutes.
    Kara peeked over Jenny’s shoulder and
tensed. Accusing eyes watched her from all around. She searched for
the Seirs, but they had managed to disappear in the crowd.
Typical.
    The street became unnaturally silent.
She could hear the tread of their boots. Cars sat still in the
street, their engines killed. The stillness in the air freaked her
out—it wasn’t normal. Why were the mortals so silent? She raised
her head and peered over across the street.
    “ That’s her! She’s the one.
Get her!”
    Suddenly men and women dashed down the
street after them. They raised their fists and shouted. Even the
elderly shook and hit their canes on the street as they shuffled
towards her. Their wet eyes glimmered with contempt.
    Kara turned to the others.
“Run!”
    The angels tore down the street. The
mortals’ angry shouts echoed in her ears. She was a terrorist to
them, a killer. Whatever the Seirs and Lilith had planned, there
would be time to figure all of it later. They let their M-5 suits
push their speed until they were a safe distance from the mortals
before they slowed to a jog.
    “ But guys, what about
Santo? He’s waiting for us,” cried Peter, and he nearly tripped on
a crack on the sidewalk.
    Kara steadied him as they ran. “We’ll
meet him later. I’m sure he’ll understand once he sees my face all
over the news. Maybe he already knows—”
    A black SUV appeared up the
street.
    It ploughed through metal garbage bins
and benches on the sidewalk as it sped toward them. They leapt out
of the way just in time. The SUV fishtailed and swiveled to a stop,
tires screeching and burning rubber. Kara blinked through a
