Maeliki walked the city street anonymously, his long trench coat was dirty, cover in filth from countless nights sleeping in the streets of city's just like this one. But it was by no chance that he was here, this was indeed fate that drove him here. He was an immortal and one that had both floated in the heavens with the other angels and wade through the fiery lakes of hell with the demons. But not a single passing pedestrian had any idea that they were bumping shoulders with him when he passed them. He could see inside each one of them, all of their inner most thoughts with every contact.<br/><br/>Maeliki was searching, he had to find one singular human in a city full of hundreds of thousands. If he were still an angel he'd have divine inspiration and could glean the whereabouts of what ever target he'd selected, but that was a long time ago. Now he had to do it the hard way, one by one if he had to. He'd been at it three weeks now, and still hadn't even heard a whisper of the person he was in search for. He'd covered most of the southern part of the city and now had started scanned it's downtown. This busy business district had ten of thousands of people rushing through it during the hours of 9-5. The streets were clogged with cabs and the sidewalks were flooded with people like salmon swimming up stream during spawning season.<br/><br/>Time was of the essence and Maeliki knew it, if he didn't find the woman first, one of the others would and that would start a chain reaction that couldn't be stopped. It was just then as the traffic broke free that he felt her presence. The cab, accelerating now, she was inside. Maeliki moved so fast that his form blurred to anyone that would have been watching. He stepped out into the street an instant before Jean's cab slammed into him, sending his body cartwheeling over the hood of the cab and smashing into the windshield.
