panted softly as another pain ripped through her belly.  Why don’t you ask someone for help? the woman asked.  There aren’t any doctors here , Flame panted.  And the guards would rather fuck me than help me .  Flame felt a hand stroke gently down her hair.  It was a soothing gesture, one she hadn’t felt in so long.  We are here now, Flame , the voice said.  You aren’t alone anymore.  We are going to get you out .
    Who are you? Flame asked again.  My name is Angel , the voice said.  Angel , Flame whispered.  I could use an Angel right now.   Angel chuckled softly.   I’m not your typical Angel, honey.  You won’t see any white wings on me.  And definitely no halo.  But you could think of me as The Angel of Death because I will be bringing death and destruction to everybody in that building that hurt you.
    Just my kind of Angel , Flame said.  Flame heard Angel laugh as another pain slammed into her.  They’re getting closer , Angel said.  Yes , Flame groaned.  Anytime now…He’s already gone Angel.  I can feel it.  My baby is already gone and there is nothing I can do about it.
    I know, hon , Angel responded.  We are gonna take that sweet baby home with us and we are going to give him a good burial, ok?  And he is going to have those beautiful white angel wings that I don’t have .  Flame cried softly at that.  Thank you , she whispered.
    Do you have any idea where you are, Flame?  Angel asked.  They thought I was drugged when they brought me here, Flame said.   But most of it was already out of my system. I remember the building is red.  A dark red.  Another building by it had a sun on it.  A bar or something.  That’s it, I’m sorry.  That is all I saw.  Another pain ripped through Flame and she cried out softly.  She was not going to be able to keep quiet much longer.  Flame looked up when she heard the door to her room open.  A couple of guards were standing there grinning smugly at her.  “By the blood all over the floor, I take it that thing inside of you is either dead or about to be.”
    Oh God, Angel, hurry.  Please hurry , Flame cried as the next pain slammed into her and all hell broke loose.

    Angel held onto the wall as she slowly opened her eyes.  “Fuck,” she g rowled out.  “She’s here.  She is right fucking here,” she said as she smacked the red wall she was leaning against.  She peered around the corner looking at the cantina next door with the bright yellow sun on it, then came swiftly back.  “Flame saw a sun on the building next to the building she was taken to, and the building she is in is dark red.  We have to get in there now.  Flame is in the middle of losing the baby and the guards just came into her room.  She can’t defend herself.  Dammit, I wondered why I could keep the connection with her for so long.  She is so close.”
    Rikki took off around the building and Trace moved to a place dow n at the corner of it.  “There is a door on the side by the cantina,” Rikki said.  “I’m in place.  Let’s rock n roll.” 
    Bran jumped straight up grabbing hold of a window sill on the second floor and pulled himself through the window.  “Well, that works,” Nico said.  He ran around to the left side of the building as Phoenix went to the right and jumped in.  Angel decided to use the front door.  The thing was actually unlocked. 
    They swept all of the floors quickly, but found no one.  “What the hell,” Bran growled out.  “Where are they?”  Angel closed her eyes and silently slipped into Flame’s mind again.  The pain was excruciating.  The baby had slipped out, but the guards were on her now.  They were beating her.  One had his pants undone, but was holding his junk.  Way to go, Flame, Angel thought.  The other one had her down and was digging his knee in her stomach.  There was blood everywhere.  Flame was so weak she could hardly move, but she turned her head and bit the
