Chapter 7 - The Fallen Angel

On the way back to the lounge Sera spotted a familiar looking blue figure. She decided to get close and see the face of the man whose back is facing her. Sera was a couple of steps away from approaching the figure when the man's ringtone went off.

Ethan was looking for Lucifer and decided to walkout since it was a break.

Assistant Chen was waiting outside, after spotting Ethan assistant Chen hurriedly went to him and informed about Lucifer's leaving.

Ethan was momentarily stunned by this news of his abrupt leaving and worried about his friend's safety as he knew what kind of dangers were lurking behind Lucifer.

After speaking to assistant Chen Ethan decided to head back.

Just as he was about to take a step his phone chimed, seeing that it was Lucifer he hurriedly picked up the call.

"Where are you? Where did you go? Why didn't you inform me?", after bombarding Lucifer with questions Ethan felt better.

Listening to his friends questions Lucifer knew that Ethan was worried about him and hence getting so flustered, he smiled and told him that he had an appointment that he forgot to attend. To divert his attention Lucifer asked about the painting.

"No.. It's okay! Yeah.. I know, That mysterious artist's painting is not yet displayed. I'll head in now.", after his phone call Ethan went back to his seat.

Sera was listening intently, after Ethan's conversation was finished Sera snapped out of her daze and thought back to his words.

"What mysterious artist? Which painting is he talking about?", after sometime Sera recalled the incident with the old man and understood that it was Rose's painting they're talking about.

The auction was going to last a couple of hours and Sera was feeling bored.

Maya decided to take her friend out for some fun and Sera agreed to it.

Coming out of the lounge they were greeted by Xav. Xav was looking pale, seeing her brother in such a condition Maya hurried to his side and asked him what's wrong.

Seeing Maya so flustered Xav told her about Carlos and his men. After understanding the grave reason for her brother's pale face Maya was worried for his safety.

Seeing both her friends so worried Sera lost her jovial mood to have fun and sat back inside the lounge.

The auction came to an end and Ethan won Rose's painting and decided to head back to the airport with assistant Chen.

After hiding inside the lounge for two full hours they were famished and decided to eat inside the hotel itself.

Maya was planning to explore the city with Sera but under the circumstances it was difficult for them roam freely.

Lucifer was able to successfully kill Carlos's men but Carlos escaped leaving behind his right hand man Andre.

Andre was a heavily injured but still refused to budge. So Lucifer decided to take him back to his turf. It was likely that Carlos ran away to his headquarters or back to County S.

On the way back, Lucifer called Ethan and informed him about his plans to stay back for a few days.

Ethan was happy to know that his friend was safe and unharmed. He thanked Lucifer for inviting him to the auction and reminded him to attend the annual charity gala as well as his grandmother's birthday celebration next month.

"Hey guys.. I'm full, let me head back to my room. I have an early flight to catch.", Sera was a bit tipsy and wanted to sleep in.

Seeing Sera like this Maya volunteered to send her back to her room but Sera declined her friend's offer and stubbornly tried to walk away swaying.

On the way back to her room Sera thought that she was seeing things.

"Why?! Why am I seeing him again?!", after debating for a while Sera decided to be brave and follow the blue figure in a distance.

After trying to fight sleep and walking without falling Sera was a few steps away from the figure.

Reaching out both her hands Sera tried to grab the figure but was thrown away.

Just when Sera thought she was going to fall, a hand grabbed her.

Fighting back the sleepiness in her eyes Sera saw the hand that grabbed her. Seeing the tattoo on the man's wrist Sera was dazed.

"Huh! Fallen Angel?!", mumbling incoherently Sera fell unconscious in the man's arms.
