Shay needed some time away. Or maybe time near Angelo. She didn't know. When she first arrived at the house, he was still at work, so she waited there. First, she watched some tv, then to keep her mind off things she went to the kitchen to start cooking dinner for him.

Spaghetti, she knew how to make that. And homemade garlic bread. Homemade sauce. Yeah, this would take her awhile, but that was good. She had time.

Angelo knew Shay was home. Considering that he'd adopted eleven kids directly from a mob boss, security had been a major concern for Angelo. He'd installed high quality cameras, and when he was out and about he ended up getting a notification with a picture any time anyone approached the house.

Shay was pretty obviously recognizable, especially with a high quality camera, and so he'd put it out of his mind. Even if she hadn't stayed there that long before moving out on her own, his home was her home, and she was free to come and go.

He arrived back from work at a normal enough time, still in uniform, and headed in, right past hte kitchen. He had to head to the weapon safe, especially with two guns handy, but he popped his head briefly into the kitchen, just to let her know.

"I'm home," he said, taking a deep sniff. "Just gotta change and visit the safe, then I'll be down."

"Ugh, that safe!" Shay called after him with a slight laugh. "You still never gave me my gun back y'know."

At this point, Shay was just giving him a hard time. To be fair, she was almost always just giving Angelo a hard time. A gun safe wasn't at all a bad idea (especially with Caelin running around).

Shay eyed the stove and shut it off. The bread still needed about ten minutes, but the sauce and the pasta were done and turned off. It was safe to leave behind as she followed Angelo like a little, noisy lemming.

"Just lemme touch it! My old, illegal firearm."

Angelo rolled his eyes. He really couldn't help it.

"If you want it back," Angelo said as he headed for the safe. "Make sure it's fully legal, and then you can have it back."

The safe wasn't very large--Angelo wasn't the kind of guy who had a bunch of hunting rifles or anything--but it took a bit to get open, and he carefully blocked the safe with his body before punching in any combinations, even if Shay probably could have found another way in anyway.

"How was school?"

"But that's soooo hard to do with the numbers scratched off. Oh, and with you holding it."

When Angelo but his back between her and the safe, Shay rose on her toes right behind him to try and get a look at the number he was punching in.

"Lame," she said with the same lighthearted tone she'd been using.

Shay knew better than to ever grab for a gun on someone like it was a toy, so she'd have never done that to Angelo. But she noticed that there were now two holsters instead of one on his hip and recalled the Charlie conversation with him.

She never wanted to bring it up, he probably never wanted to bring it up again, but there was magic flowing from that new holster.

"You got a new gun," she said as a statement rather than a question. She was trying to prod without being completely obvious about it, but the curiosity was strong. "Let me see it?"

Angelo wasn't going to hide it. Hiding it would just make it more obvious, more suspicious. Angelo reached in, pulling out the gun, and then double checked it wasn't loaded before handing it to Shay. If she did want a gun, she was going to get gun safety lessons. A lot of gun safety lessons. Probably for every holiday gift until she stopped having a gun, because guns were dangerous and Angelo would never forget that fact.

The gun hadn't killed anyone, but the magic was clear enough. Shay, however, might feel something Angelo wasn't--a sort of sense that the gun was Angelo's in a strange, indescribable way.

"Normal enough, with added enchantments carved into it," Angelo said. "Helping me cover my own bases."

The gun zapped her fingers, at least it felt like it did. Shay didn't like holding it. It felt too heavy. It felt -wrong.- Like the time she'd touched Regis' scythe.

She handed it back far too soon and snapped her fingers a few times, wiggling them to get the feeling back where it belonged.

"That's, uh, one of those hunter guns, isn't it? Where did you even -get- that?"

Shay figured it was like carrying around holy water, or a cross. Her knowledge of a Supernatural Hunter's equipment came only from the school and a few of the classes there. She'd taken some mild interest in it.

It wasn't usually the bullets that were enchanted, which would have been her first guess. Bullets were harder to work with than guns. It's why the idea of a pure silver bullet was a huge misconception.

"It feels weird."

"It's not necessarily a hunter weapon," Angelo said, although it so often was. "Just specialized." He carefully tucked the gun away beside his service pistol, closing the safe up behind him.

"Guns are great against a lot of things, but there's also things they don't have any effect on. I can't fly. I have nothing that'll protect me in the event a mage or an elementalist starts chucking stuff at me. So this closes that gap. Gives me something I can do."

He didn't say Charlie, but Charlie's name might as well have been there, hanging in the air just the same.

"This is because of what we talked about, isn't it? The whole Charlie thing. You didn't tell me where you got it."

He'd sidestepped that, didn't he but Shay was stubborn as a mule and about as fierce as one too. Sometimes, Shay worried about him. She worried about them. The family. Everything was a unique kind of fucked up when it came to the Rosales kids, and she couldn't help but wonder if the taint was just spreading to Angelo now, rather than the other way around.

"I did talk to him after we spoke," she admitted. "As in, I mentioned you had a problem."

"I wasn't dodging it," Angelo pointed out. "It's legal. I didn't smuggle it in or anything, I just didn't think you'd care where I purchased it."

It didn't really matter, not really. He hadn't stolen it. He'd bought it, and he'd paid a good amount of money to do so. To be prepared. He'd used a part of his bonus from stopping the wolves to do so, more than a year ago.

His rainy day fund had gotten a workout.

"Oh, and what did he say?" Angelo said. He hadn't heard it from Charlie, but he couldn't have imagined that it had gone well at all. "I think he should have known I had a problem, but he was never terribly attentive to other people."
