“Let’s look at my two options,” Kent grumbled. “Number one, you turn out to be either the angel of death, or the Devil, or both. So if you are either one, take a hike! Number two, you happen to be my guardian angel. If you are, Heaven forbid, I’m sorry but you need to find another line of work because you got us both killed today!”
