Coming clean

(This is for NYC Noir, but I don't have the brain power to make this into a proper post...  I'll probably fic it later and post it there)

Sometimes, the past catches up with you when you least expect it, and that's what happened that day at Janie's cheap hotel room.  An Agency vehicle was outside, and she knew what was inside.

So, she ran, and kept running until she realized she was at Phoenix's door.  All Janie could do was knock.

Janie wonders herself why they haven't ended up together, but knows that looking into it might prove a bit disastrous.

"I've already moved out from his place." she admits. "To a hotel... he said that I didn't have to move, but I couldn't stay there any more."

The angel's heart perks up at that, far more than it should do.

"We'd all love to have you here." He plants a kiss on her head. "But I won't pressure you again."

"I'll stay until I get paid again." she said, carefully. She felt too guilty to stay with Vito, which was why she'd packed up and left his apartment. She hadn't been able to break up with him yet, though.

"Well, hopefully we can free up your assets some. I know some people who can cover their tracks pretty well. Even from the Agency."

He keeps holding Janie because it feels too good to stop.

"I wish I'd told you sooner." she says, finally. She's not going to let go of Phoenix.
