given Erick the information he needed to pass onto his friend, Simon assured Erick that he would see him that night for dinner before he finished the call.
    Sitting back in his chair, he gazed out the window of his high rise office. The view of the city of Moon Bay never failed to amaze him. Even as old as it was, the city still rose to meet the challenges of modern technology while meshing it with the older and more historical sections.
    His view of all of it calmed him.
    As Simon thought back on his journey thus far, he couldn’t say that he regretted any part of it. Well, there were some regrettable areas – those events when he’d been incredibly ignorant.
    He and Erick had both been angels. However, they had been cast out of Heaven to live among the humans that they had so criticized. At first, they had both been quite angry at the situation, but the longer they remained on Earth, the more adjusted they had become.
    Simon had adjusted faster than Erick, but it had taken meeting Hollianne for Erick to realize that he could live a very happy life here as a human.
    He had to smile when he thought of the changes that had taken place in Erick since he had met and fallen in love with Hollianne Talbot. These changes were so intense that Simon had heard it in Erick’s voice the first time he had spoken to him after meeting Holli – even when they were talking on the phone. It was a truly beautiful experience for them both, and it warmed Simon’s heart each time he thought of it.
    Even though they were disgraced and fallen angels, their Father had not totally abandoned them. They wanted for nothing. Their only condition was that they had to use special powers that they had been granted to help unfortunate humans. He had long since stopped questioning how certain humans were chosen for his help. Rather, he had started to just accept it and help those that were sent to him.
    It was this very situation that had brought him together with some of the most special people that he had ever met. Of course, there was Erick who was his brother. Then there was Karl, his house manager. Simon had long ago started to think of Karl in that capacity. But he was much more than that. He was Simon’s friend, and that meant more than any of Karl’s other numerous talents, which weren’t simple necessities – he often wondered how he could live as comfortably and accomplish many things without Karl. As a friend and a house manager who took care of most of his needs, Karl was irreplaceable.
    In truth, there wasn’t anything that Simon had found that Karl could not do. He was a registered nurse, a world class chef, a licensed masseuse, and his chauffeur. Not only that, but Karl did do windows when cleaning the Simon’s home as well as the laundry.
    The first thing he had learned when he started living as a human was how activities that used to be mundane were pushed in the forefront of his struggle. Angels don’t eat, do laundry, and clean after themselves. But suddenly, he needed to learn how to cook, wash clothes, and take a bath every few hours. It would sometimes made him feel foolish, remembering his early struggles were about which to use in order to clean an undershirt – a bar of soap or the powder? Although the bath soap had smelled much better, and yes, he did use that for quite a while.
    But of course, when Karl came to his life he gratefully, and finally, had had time to face the more serious challenges in being a human that used to be an angel.
    And that had been quite a ride. It was curious that the first unfortunate incident in his interaction with humans that had pushed him to the direction that he needed to take and the mission that he had to take upon as a mantle – defender of the innocent. Simon used the Law to defend humans who had been falsely accused of wrong doing.
    His first mission was a man whose name was Dennis Harmon. The first time he met him was the time Dennis had saved him from a muggers. But he had been
