Julia heard the topic of the telephone conversation and decided to make herself scarce, it being a Precept thing.
 
So, running her fingers tiredly through her hair but waking up, she headed to Derek's office, that being the last place she had left her prenatal vitamins.
 
She was bending over the desk to get them when the headset phone rang.
 
"What the heck." she mumbled as she picked it up and put it on her head, answering "Luna Foundation, Julia Rayne speaking."
 
She rounded the desk and sat in the chair, greeting the man that introduced himself.
 
"Yes, I remember the collection," Julia said, once he got to the point of why he called as she called up the information on the laptop in front of her.  She listened to the man as he went on to explain there were a couple more items to add to the list that were being given; a small chest and a rosary.
 
"Only one problem with the chest though," he said, Julia's thoughts straying "The bloody key has a tendency to catch.  But I'm sure someone would want it.  It's small enough to put personal treasures in...."
 
Personal treasures......
 
Without even realizing it Julia had called up the log entries of the Seplicur the team had found in Ireland.
 
Kat had said it reminded her of a box she and Conner used to put their treasures in.....
 
"Ma'am?"
 
Julia blinked out of her reverie and spoke "I'm here.  That sounds fine.  When will they be delivered?"
 
After making arrangements and wishing each a good day, they each hung up, but Julia turned back to the files before her, now looking at the image of the Seplicur the team had brought back and her mind going back to that day before she deliberately pulled her thoughts from it and gently rubbed her stomach.
 
Her gaze fell on the image of five Beings, walking toward the one they called their master.......
 
The records showed that there were only five seplicurs, and the demon had been let loose when Shamus Bloom forced the lock open on the fifth.
 
Then why, the thought traced through her mind, and how were the accidents and misdeeds done before then?  Each fallen angel had been trapped in their own separate Seplicur......
