WHO THE HELL IS ABIGAIL HAWTHORNE?
I have searched through every contact and every connection I have. NOTHING! It is like she does not exist. She can’t exist, not a human. There are no human records of her anywhere. I have even extended my search to the Somerton Files, the Records of the Dead, the Neo-Library of Alexandria, and all possible Indigo Organizations. She does not exist. She is not and never has been a human.
But then… What the hell is she? It is admittedly more challenging to uncover the identities of Demons—IF SHE WAS A DEMON. She is not. Multiple Blood Readings taken by #62 and myself indicate that she is a human. A HUMAN. SHE CANNOT BE. THERE IS NO RECORD OF HER ANYWHERE. Even if she was not a human nor demon, angels and elders have Blood signatures.
Cafe No Diner.
They know. They have to know. How do they know, and I don’t?! There is no one I do not know. NO ONE. But they call her “Abby.” Abby. Abby. ABBY! Such familiarity. They not only know her but have given her a damned nickname. I will admit… I have done some other research, not into Abigail but this fraudulent Cafe No Diner. They think they’re so clever. So smart. So well hidden. Well… I know where they keep their files. Wouldn’t it be such a shame if all of their hard work went up in smoke? And why not? Why shouldn’t I have the connections they’ve made? They haven’t earned them. I have.
No. I shouldn’t.
But… something must be done.
