It took Isabel a moment to digest all of that. "Oh my god, how scary. I'm so glad you're okay." She shook her head, still boggling. "God how am I missing all of this? I need to listen to the radio more seriously or something. And you said Bridge was taken with Z? Is he okay?"

"I don't know," Angela admitted. "I haven't heard anything about them either way since yesterday. I should probably ask my roommate, she was going with the search party."

She half-smiled. "I'm glad I'm okay too."

"Z was in my class earlier. And she didn't say anything about Bridge being missing so it's probably safe to assume he's okay." Isabel pulled out the dragon skin gloves. "You know the routine, put these on so you'll stay safe. Do you know what it is you're looking for?"

"That's something," Angela said, relieved.

She pulled on the gloves and nodded. "Just something about how a human can recognize a demon. All I know is holy water, and I'm not sure that works if they aren't vampires."

"I'm the wrong person to ask," she said, pulling on her own gloves and getting out the key to Special Collections. "I'm all about how to tell if someone's an alien."

"Are there ways to do that?" Angela asked, curious. "Not that I'm going to run around scanning people, or anything."

She turned toward Special Collections.

"We've mostly only had dealings with shapeshifters," Isabel said as she opened the door. "And you really can't tell if a person is a shapeshifter without an x-ray. If I remember correctly from Troll weekend, the magical books are over here."

"I think you're right," Angela nodded. "Hopefully I'll find something in there that doesn't require I develop X-tray vision."

She went over to the books, crackling the gloves on her hands. "I should be out in an hour or two."

Isabel watched for a moment but figured Angela more then knew what she was doing. "I'm going to head back out to the desk. Give me a call if you need anything."

"Good luck," she said, heading back out to the main part of the library.

Angela nodded, distracted by her reading. "Thanks."

She paged through the books for almost two hours, carefully taking notes. Eventually, eyes tired, she reshelved a volume and headed back out to the main library.

"Thanks again, Isabel," she said. "I didn't find much."

"Damn. It would have been good to know," Isabel said. "I'm back next week. Maybe I'll look some more. It'll beat sitting here reading Cosmo."

"Well, nothing we didn't know from Angel, unless we want to start doing a bunch of spells," Angela clarified. "They don't like holy water, they don't like crosses ... some of them freak out if you say 'Christo,' so I guess we could try that."

"Maybe talk to Sam and Dean's dad? If anyone around here would know it would be him."

"I should do that," Angela agreed. "He's been really helpful before."

She leaned her head on her hand, a little tired. "So do you and Greg have plans for this weekend?"

"He seems nice. I like his class."

Isabel shrugged. "I don't know. Nothing major, probably just hang out and watch a movie or something."

"That's probably all Marty and I will do," Angela said. "I think we could all use quiet."

She adjusted her bag. "Anyhow, I should get going. I'll call you if I find out anything, okay?"

"Quiet is good. There's nothing wrong with quiet."

Isabel nodded. "Do that. And if you want company to watch a chick flick or something call me. I'll bring chocolate and we can hang out."

"We should do that," Angela smiled. "Slumber party, or something."

"I keep telling Aeryn she needs to experience a slumber party," she laughed. "We really do need to do that before you guys graduate."

"Aeryn hasn't been to one yet?" Angela asked, intrigued. "We definitely have to make up for that."

"No she hasn't. And yes we have. Soon. Maybe one of the next few weekends?"

"Week after next?" Angela suggested. "But yeah, definitely before spring break."

"It sounds like a plan. Although I think we need to tell her at the last minute," Isabel said. "Otherwise she's liable to run and hide."

"Maybe John and Rory could talk her into it," Angela suggested. "Oooh, we need to all wear fuzzy slippers."

"I will buy you and Marty dinner if you can get Aeryn into fuzzy slippers," she laughed.
