Kate heard the sadness in his voice.  She turned the nob and found it locked. The mage waved her hand over the lock and pushed the door open. Kate rushed to Alyx and hugged him. "Forgive for barging in. I know your upset and feared you would not be thinking straight. That man was a criminal and had to make sure his essence would adversely affect you. I love you and will do anything for you." She saw the blood on his cheeks and on his shirt. Kate began to cry. "Don't leave me. Promise me you wont."
