WHO: Svetlana Artemyeva, Michael and Azrael
WHAT: Taking charge
WHEN: Wednesday evening
WHERE: Michael's office
WARNINGS: Talk of Svetlana's messed up past

It was just luck that had Michael out of his office the moment Svetlana stopped by. His head snapped around the moment he heard her give her name to the receptionist

"Hello, my name is Svetlana Artemyeva-Firestone and I am here to see-"

"Sveta?"

Svetlana turned to see Michael standing in the middle of a sea of desks and her face broke into a grin. "Micky!" she squealed happily. Michael heard all of his coworkers grow silent and turn to look at him. Michael was their monosyllabic workmate who didn't get pop culture references and had a strange affinity for cakes. He did not go usually have attractive redheads looking for him, calling him cutesy nicknames.

"She's my sister-in-law," he hissed, as he moved to let her into the work area and guided him to her office. He closed the door behind her and turned to face her. "Are you alright, Svetlana?"

"Oh yes!" she cheerfully nodded. "I wanted to talk to you. Can you call Azra here?"

That was how Michael found himself texting Azrael to come to the stationhouse while Svetlana chatted to quite a few of his male co-workers in the break room.

	Azrael's own eyebrows shot up as well. "Obviously we can't let you go in alone," he said to her. "They'd try and recapture you, or more than likely, kill you to keep you from going to the authorities." He glanced over at Michael. "So I suppose the question is: are you going with us, brother?"

Svetlana smiled widely at Azrael for being so wonderful and willing to help her. "You'll need the help," Michael nodded. "I'll go and I believe we could get a few more angels to go with us as well. How many people are we talking about, Sveta?"

"I don't know," she said honestly. "When I was there, there was always about five to seven of us. And always at least two people watching us. We weren't allowed to talk to each other, but you could hear them and sometimes we'd see each other passing by."

	"We should call Raphael," Azrael suggested. "He's in the city, by the way, I don't know if I told you. Some of the girls might be hurt or sick, he'd be useful." "And both of them armed, I'd assume," he muttered, starting to pace back and forth as he thought. "And the last thing we need is innocents caught in the crossfire." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I'll put the call out," Michael promised the both of them.

"We could be sneaky," Svetlana suggested. "Or something! We will be okay, we can't leave them there. And when we get back, I want to start a...something. I want to help people who came here like I did, who weren't so lucky. They've been brought here and sold and they could be- The people who bought them might be worse than the people in Russia. I want to help."

	"I can do sneaky, but I don't know about Mr. 'Giant Flaming Sword' over there," Azrael said, smiling slightly. "We won't leave them there," he promised. "We'll get as many of them out as we can. Then once we get back, we can look into that. You might be able to work with people who fight sex trafficking, since this isn't too far off from that." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Michael smiled lightly back over to Azrael, nodding a little. "Yes," Svetlana nodded her head. "That is what I want to do. Am I allowed to have a job, Azra? Will you let me?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Azrael was about to ask 'why wouldn't I?', but he clamped down on the response. Svetlana had been trained that her husband's will was absolute, and his word was law. "Of course," he told her. "There are probably some detectives in another division who could put you in touch with people like that. I'll make some calls when we get back." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh good!" Svetlana grinned. "I would love to help! I know the Saint Patrick does that too and we spoke about me working out of his office. I hope that was okay. He has a girlfriend!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I have to admit, it'd make me feel much better if you were working with Patrick," Azrael told her. "So we could certainly have a chat with him when we return. And yes, I believe he does, though I don't think I've ever met her." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh good!" Svetlana clapped. She was glad Azrael didn't seem jealous that she had been talking to another man. "Then we will save them. Thank you. I didn't mean to interrupt your work day but I couldn't sit still any longer and I had to ask." (Reply to this) (Parent)
