„Have you seen the shining in the air last night,“ Erin asked. „I wonder what this was about.“

„God keeps quiet,“ the little guy in his worn-out coat answered.

„And this is a good or a bad sign?“

Smith smiled silently. „ I don't know. I guess I will find out when he thinks it's important for me to know.“

„Seems as if it is not easy to be God's messenger.“ Erin placed a cup of coffee on the table in front of him.

„It's not,“ Smith agreed, placing his fingers around the warm cup. „Thank you, Erin.“

„I wish I could do more for you. But Lee says...“

„Lee does a good job; he keeps the danger away from the Mountain.“ He took a sip of his coffee and sighed with pleasure. "You shouldn't blame him."

„You are not a danger,“ Erin protested.

Thoughtfully Smith shook his head. „I don't know what I am. I can't even remember my name or my life before the Big Death. Maybe it is better to be careful.“ He stood up, grabbing for the big backpack beside his chair. „I will come back and tell you when I find out more about the shining at night,“ he promised.

Then he was gone.

„Hey, how are you today?“ Zeke eyed his friend repeatedly, not trying to hide his grin.

Casey groaned. „I will never drink cocktails again.“

„But you have had a lot of fun.“

„If you say so. I can't remember much of what happened yesterday at the party.“

The grin widened. „Maybe better this way.“

Casey frowned. „What are you talking about?“

„About... this and that.“ Zeke shrugged. „Stuff you told before I decided that it is time to drag you to the guestroom.“

His heart beat quicker. „Zeke, stop that! This is not funny. What the heck did I do?“

„Calm down. Just babbling shit. About love and so.“

„Love?!“ Open panic spread over Casey's face now.

„Well, you called it like that. But if you ask me, you better get her out of your head. She's not worth it.“

„She... who?“

„Delilah. I guess you were talking about her? But don't worry; I could prevent the worst. She will never find out about your hopeless crush. Better this way; believe me, she's just a bitch who uses everyone. You deserve better.“

Slowly Casey started to breathe again. „Okay,“ he whispered, his voice still weak. „Thank you, I guess, for saving my ass.“

„Nothing big.“ The smug grin was back on Zeke's lips, and Casey had to close his eyes for a moment. A much too hot sight.
