The search for Neil goes well into the night, and while it seems unlikely that he will ever be found in time to save him, Saint John has given them ideas for areas to focus on. The photo Lucifer has sent Saint Patrick is too dark to see any detail other than the horrifying things that have been done to Neil, but that alone is a clue. It has to be dark, and secluded enough for Neil to scream without being heard, a thought that makes Patrick want to vomit when he thinks of it, and it has to be somewhere Lucifer could get Neil in a day and set something so horrific up.

Michael the archangel is also a detective and he puts a description out to every cop walking a beat in the Big Apple. This turns out to be the best move they make, as Neil is not discovered by either angel nor Patrick, but a pair of uniformed officers who took the tip seriously and made it their business to check on an abandoned warehouse in a derelict area of the city. Patrick will later send them a potted shamrock each for their trouble.

Found Neil. Doesn't look good.

It's all my fault. I am such an idiot. Poor Neil.

It's not the end of the world if I keep messing up and straying farther and farther from the man I was?

So why does it feel like it is, George? Why does it feel like it should be? At the very least the end of me.

Don't gloat or I won't listen.

Do either of you happen to know if there's a way I could...I don't know...not happen to be here? If I die, I just come back. How can I stop coming back.
