Nadia nodded when Jephthah informed her when his job was over. She didn't have a job yet because she was about to go off to college to pursue her dream of becoming either an entrepreneur or a model. Either one was something she had been inspired to be since she was a child. Her smile weakened slightly as he waved good-bye and left. To her she was sad that he had just hurried off so fast, but knew that her father probably would be wondering why he was sticking around so long. She guessed that because her dad had been looking at his birthmark and at times he would look at his daughter. How could his daughter be interested in a boy that had a bruise on his eye from a fight? That was the problem though because he didn’t know that it was actually a birthmark. So when people tried to tell him that it was a birthmark his stubbornness would come out and he wouldn’t believe them.

After Jephthah had said good bye Nadia's father, Hank, waved at him. "Good to see you again!" Hank called out in his usual deep commanding tone before looking at his daughter whom of which he gave her a gentle smile. Inhaling and exhaling deeply he signaled for her to go first. "Well, shall we?" He asked her. With one more glance back in the direction that Jephthah had gone she finally nodded to him then went over to the truck and got into the passenger seat. With a roll of her eyes she turned the radio station as soon as her dad got in, buckled up and the truck had been turned on. She hummed to the song, gazing out the window as they started away from the store.

Stella moved her hands to the sides of her dress, tugging on them nervously as she watched while Jephthah and Nadia kept their sentences short to each other. One thing she also noted was that there was a taller man standing next to Nadia who she assumed was her father or some relative. Running a hand through her hair she finally sighed softly as Jephathah said his good-byes then went off. This was the time when she turned to Abdas whom of which she gave him a questioning look. "What now?" She asked then closed her eyes momentarily. She had no idea what they could do right now, but if something was supposed to happen they needed to act quickly before a demon got to Nadia or Jephthah. Finally after several moments of thinking she opened her eyes to look at Abdas in hope that he had a better idea then what she had in mind.
