”I'm going back.” Kane stepped in front of Asrael.

”For what?”

”Teri.”

”Why isn't she here?” Asrael blocked Kane's path out the door.

”She's dead.”

Asrael raised a hand to Kane's chest and pushed him backwards. ”Sit the hell down.”

Kane didn't stand a chance against his boss as he stumbled and fell to the floor. ”Let me leave.” He spoke quietly with little to no authority.

”She's not coming back from the dead.” Asrael stood over him.

”I need to bury her.” Kane looked up with his eyebrows creased.

”Her body can wait.”

”I let her die!”

”She died because she wasn't strong enough.” Asrael knelt down.

”You asshole!” Kane lunged forward, weaponless.

”What have I told you about blind rage?” Asrael moved twice Kane's speed and stood up before kicking the young man down. With a foot planted on his shoulder, he kept him on the floor.

”Get off!” Kane put his hands on Asrael's leg, struggling to remove it.

Asrael looked up, counting the people in front of him with his eyes. ”We lost four?”

”Carter, Gavin, and Teri are dead. We aren't sure about Kyle.”

”Explain.” Asrael ordered.
