[Angel]

I dial the number to the pay phone down the street where my lover is waiting, looking over my shoulder to be sure the man can't hear me I say, "Yeah, I'm in worked like a charm." Smiling I hang up the phone and quickly replace the mask of pain and fear on my face waiting patiently for you to reenter the room.

I don't have to wait long for my lover to arrive as I place the ice the man brings me on my lip, I hear you knock at the front door. "That is likely the police." I say in a quiet voice.
