"What the HELL are you talking about?" Derek demanded.
 He'd never heard anything so ridiculous in his life.

Julia lifted her chin and asked, making sure to point
out the instances so that he could draw his own
conclusions - and hopefully the right ones.

"Didn't you notice that the thing from Ireland had
never been able to touch Kat, literally?  It went
after everyone else, but not once could It touch her.

"Or me, in Canada?  It didn't mind tossing Nick, you
or the others around.  It was even able to fight the
Soul Chaser." she explained "But it couldn't touch me
the times It tried to cross my path.

"The innocence of a child is something none of the
Beings can touch, physically or spiritually. And for
It to have seriously hurt me would have hurt Amelia,
and It is restricted from doing that in the most basic
Law that all angels have to follow."

There hadn't been time to tell him about the Law
before the Thing had taken him or why she knew neither
she nor Amelia would have been hurt to the point that
had him up in arms right now, but she had to admit
that she had already sensed he was working himself up
because, to him, she would have risked Amelia's health
to help him.

And that stung.
