landed. His aunt was just going to have to understand.
     

     
    When he was finished working; he sat down for a moment at his desk to think. He knew he couldn’t stay in this state of limbo forever. He couldn’t stand another lonely night without her. He had to do something. This was the day he had been waiting for. James just needed to suck it up and do it.
    There was only one thing that he knew of that could bring Kate back. He decided to borrow the Resurrection Amulet; a paranormal artifact he recovered from a demon that he and his agency vanquished months ago. The demon had been wreaking havoc among the nightclub goers, occasionally killing a drunk or two in random alleys. It had been a difficult process ridding the city of the demon. Finally, after three months of trying to capture him, James entrapped him in an invisible magic cage and threw a potion on him, causing him to change from his human appearance to a ghastly red, bull-like creature. Then, as the creature reared up on his hind legs in a rage, James threw a dagger at his heart, killing him. Of course, he had to throw up in the alley right afterward, but it seemed a small price to pay for getting rid of the creature.
    After recalling the memory of slaying the demon, he carefully began to put his plan in action. He was the last one left in the building, so that part was easy. James stood up and looked around; there were cameras, but he stayed late a few weeks ago and wore the same clothes as he had that night. If they watched the security footage from tonight, they would see him getting up from his desk and going to the door to leave. He was thankful at the moment he planted the footage that he was talented with technology.
    Now he had to get the prize. James quickly walked to the room where the artifacts were stored. Of course there was a code, but since he was the one to verify who entered and who didn’t, that part was easy. Disengaging the security was not so much. But he asked all the right questions when the repairman had been here. Of course, he had been the one who had accidentally tripped and threw a whole glass of milk on the circuit board. That had been a classic screw up, and even his aunt even had believed it to be accidental.
    The security repairman had to give him the code to disarm the lasers that protected the room, just in case it happened again. The burning smell of milk had been enough to empty the building, but it had also caused the vault to lock down. Now he had the code, and he put it in quickly and then took a deep breath and waited. It seemed like it took forever for the little click to tell him it was safe. Of course, it did not help that his palms were sweating since he was technically committing a crime.
    James walked to the case that held what he wanted and sighed. He was finally going to retrieve the amulet, placing it in his jacket pocket. He quickly left the artifact room, enabled the alarm again, and quickly snuck out of the building with it, securing the main entrance on his way out.
    On his way home, James kept looking over his shoulder, paranoid and afraid someone would yell at him to come back. By the sixth block he finally began to breathe normally. He couldn’t help but smile as he remembered when he had first met Kate…
    It was a gorgeous night. James was on vacation and there wasn’t anything on TV that night, so he decided to do something new for a change and go to a nightclub. Yes, that was new to him, considering what a geek had had been only a few months before. Now, he was an agent, with a super secret decoder ring to match. ‘I have to get out more,’ he thought to himself, as he wandered down the street, looking for a bar to go in to.
    When he arrived, he noticed her sitting at the bar with her back to him. He felt instinct take over and walked over to take a seat next to her. As soon as he sat down, she turned his way and her beautiful hazel eyes caught his gaze, mesmerizing him. They smiled at each other,
