Excerpt

“I think if they wanted us to know about their true identity,” he put the word identity in quotation marks, “then they would have told us.”

“You don’t believe me, do you?”

“It’s not that I don’t believe you, it’s just I don’t honestly know about this whole angel thing.” I glared at him. “But if you believe in it, then I want argue about it. However, I do think you should keep it quiet.”

Excerpt #2

“Mikey said the road is open. That cop is bad.” Well, I did have my suspicions but he was a cop for Christ sake. A cop wouldn’t lie right? I did a U-turn and glanced in my rearview mirror, the cop was now trying to get that guy out of the car. Yeah, Mikey didn’t know what he was talking about.
