Gabriella waits at the bus stop after her shift at the hospital. She hated the cleaning job, but study fees had to be paid. She had no one with both parents deceased and not leaving a dime. She had to make her own way. Either that or sell her family home and that, she is not willing to do as it is all she had of her parents.
Angel Zurier accompanied many humans in his life but never felt loved for them the way he felt for Gabriella. He really wanted her to succeed in living a righteous life so that she can one day go to heaven, but with all the curve balls life has thrown at her it sends her down the wrong paths.
She tries so hard, but nothing works out for her. She is almost done with her Doctor of Physical Therapy Degree and then she will apply to intern at the hospital where she is a cleaner. She just hopes that she can get a paid internship as she cannot bear her peers see her cleaning. No one really pays attention to her. There is not much staff on the night shift and her shift is only 5 hours in the evening from 8 pm to 1 am. She always waits 45min for the 2 am bus as it takes her 15min to walk to the bus stop.
This night Angel Zurier felt very uneasy. He could see three fellow angels at the bus stop, but their humans kept a low profile. If only Angles were Guardian Angels like humans believed them to be instead of Observers. Gabriella saw the mass of Angels at the corner of her eye but when she looked in their direction they were gone. ''Who is there? I know you are there! Show yourself!'' Gabriella regrets not equipping herself better for the night, but she always felt that she lives in a safe city, a safe country.
''Hey little lady, what you got there in your backpack?'' a middle-aged man approaches her, walking slick.
Gabriella gave a couple of steps back. ''Stay back!'' she tried to say with confidence.
''We won't hurt you, just give us your backpack and we will be on our merry little way,'' another man says lying, with a baseball cap on; covering part of his face.
Gabriella tries to reach for the bus stop panic button but before she could reach it a third man pushes her from behind to the ground.
''Don't make us angry or you will regret it! You should have just given us the backpack, you stupid girl!'' She tried to scream but the three men quickly surrounded her, one of them choking her. She felt the life leaving her body and close her eyes in defeat.
''Dude! Do not kill her!''
They quickly dragged her behind the bus stop through the bushes into a kid play park. There is a lovely Jungle gym with lots of hideouts that made it perfect for the three men's real intentions.
They could hardly believe their luck, no one saw them. ''Give her CPR! I am not a murderer!'' One of the men said a bit worried.
