Gabriel bit his lip. "Then... either they're sticking together in the same spot, which is unlikely, or one of them is moving away and it's a diversion." It was probably what he would have done, had he been mounting an ambush.

He reached out with his senses, feeling for Baraq's demonic aura, and frowned. The demon wasn't where he should be, where the shots were coming from. "Baraq's not there. I'd say he's going to ambush us. I'm going to see if I can sneak up on Loki. Stay here and cover me, but move around a bit so they don't catch on like we did," he murmured very softly, almost inaudibly, trusting in the other angel's otherwordly hearing.

He began to move again, wriggling on his stomach, in Loki's general direction.
