“So, you’re the child of Death,” Sydero questions, leaning back in her chair and shaking her head. She lets out a low chuckle, “this group really is a shit circus.”

“Oh!” Bradley shouts, “Freak Show. Or Team Freak?”

“No, Bradley,” Rahim voices, truly looking tired, “we have to figure out who else is going to be hounding us now.”

“Us?” Sydero questions with disgust, “so that means you’re staying?”

“No!” Bradley groans loudly, about to take a bite of his burger before pausing. “Not right now. Save the fighting for later. Just,” he sighs and seems like he wants to slump in his seat, “not right now.”

“So, what developments on your side?” I question, hoping to delay the awkward air that seems to be hanging overhead.

“Hasn’t been many,” Rahim answers, resituating himself in his seat, “mostly just run-ins with angels and demons and failed attempts at learning more about this prophecy.”

“Between running and trying to find you, we haven’t been able to make much lead-way in a lot of things,” Bradley adds on.

“Well, at least one problem is taken care of.”

“About time,” Bradley hums contently, “you have two months to make up for, and I’m -” He’s cut off by the sounds of people clapping in the distance, and we all turn to see what the commotion was all about. We watch as a group of waiters and waitresses approach a table and sing happy birthday to a little kid who seems far shyer from all the attention than engaged. My gaze moves to Bradley, and slowly an idea begins to form. One I’ll keep to myself for now.
