Jamie groaned as she started coming to. She slowly got up to see she was in her bed. She looked down at her side to see the wound was gone.

She then face-timed Loona and she picked up to see she was with Via.

"Jamie?" both girls questioned.

"Hey guys," Jamie smiled.

"Oh shit. We're glad you're okay," Loona told her.

"Same with you all," Jamie returned.

"What? You were the one who lost consciousness due to taking a bullet for someone," Via pointed out.

"As long as you all are safe, that's what matters to me," Jamie stated, making the other girls smile, then she asked, "So how is everyone and how long has it been?"

"It's only been a day," Loona said.

"And everyone's fine. The worst case was Blitzø freaking out over we couldn't come with you to check on you," Via added.

"Well, I actually heard a little about that. The Heavenly Father allowed the redemption of sinners as long as they checked into this hotel, but I'm not sure about demons who started off in Hell," Jamie informed.

"Got it," Loona nodded.

"Also, what happened with Stella?" Jamie wondered.

"Well, she and Striker got in a fight and when he could've killed her, he didn't ," Via said.

"Yeah. He said something about mercy then let the others decide what to do with her. Blitzø and the others just tossed her in a portal for the wasteland," Loona added.

"Wow. I didn't expect that," Jamie commented in surprise.

"We didn't either," Via replied then informed, "And speaking of Striker, he's been waiting to hear from you."

Jamie blushed, making the other girls chuckle.

"We'll let you go, so you two can talk. We'll see you soon," Loona said.

"See ya," Via waved.

"Bye guys," Jamie smiled.

She then hung up and scrolled down to Striker's contact. While they didn't have service in the wasteland, they exchanged numbers the day they fought that giant cockroach creature. She then called him; she thought she would burst into tears if she saw his face.

"Jamie?" his voice sounded.

"Yeah. It's me," she said.

"Oh f*ck. You gave me a scare, doll," Striker told her.

"Really? I took you for the type to not be scared," Jamie lightly smirked.

"I'm not normally. But after what happened yesterday, I was worried about ya," he admitted.

She blushed a bit before saying, "I was worried about you too."

"And yet you were the one who was shot," Striker pointed out.

"I tend to worry more about others than myself," Jamie said then added, "By the way, Loona and Via told me about what went down with Stella. You and the others spared her."

He sighed and told her, "Yeah. You have no idea how much I wanted to end her right there, but after meeting and getting to know you more, I realized it took more strength to not kill. So, she's alive and more than likely will try to come after you again, but know that I won't hesitate to protect you."

Jamie felt tears form in her eyes before she tried to wipe them away. But a sniffle escaped.

"You okay there, doll?" Striker asked.

"Yeah. That just touched my heart more than you know," she told him.

He let out a light chuckle before saying, "I'm glad. Well, I need to get back to work. I actually got a new job."

"Really? What is it?" Jamie wondered.

"I'll need to see my badass angel in person to tell ya," Striker smirked.

She then giggled and responded before hanging up, "Deal."

But after doing so, she slightly frowned. She actually wasn't sure if she would be allowed to see him. He was hired to kill her and some of the angels didn't believe demons could really change. All she could do was hope.
