It was unusual for an angel to stay earthbound for so long, and when word started picking up about Cael's sudden departure from the Heavens, that he hadn't made any drop-offs or been around to just chat any, of course the angels that were higher-up started looking into it.  They had records of everything and were shocked to find that it had been six months since the last time anyone had seen or heard from the angel.  Araqiel, the angel who ruled over the operations that took place on earth, was concerned.  Had Cael been captured?  Was he dead?  Was he being tortured?  He did not know.  And it worried him.


Araqiel had sent out hunter angels, angels designed solely to track down missing angels.  It wasn't hard in Charper Beach, small as it was, for the hunters to find where Cael had been whisked away to.  The information that was reported back to Araqiel was not what he had hoped, far from it.  He was now worried more for Cael's existence than he had been before.


It took a while for Araqiel to find himself a suitable wardrobe, figuring he couldn't go to Earth dressed as an Elder Angel.  It would have been suspicious and he needed to keep Cael's existence a secret, just as much as his own existence.  He also had to work on fading his wings in and out, having never needing to do it before now.  Once he was completely confident in his abilities to blend with the human race, Araqiel went down.


It was the day that Cael's human was at work, and Araqiel knew he could get Cael alone.  He knocked on the door to the small beach home, waiting expectantly for his young brother to answer the door.
