He may not be the archangel Gabriel, but Peter Duffy is a lucky man on several counts. Once the angels were dead, the special forces staged a scene that looked like a satanic sacrifice. Gabriel only escaped having his throat cut and being mutilated because Jonah was clinging to him.
Oliver Menzies
I knew who Gabriel was the moment I saw him in that prison visiting room. When my eyes met his. He’s the Messiah, but his power is rendered impotent by man. I’m the last angel, Mand. Sent to earth to save humanity.
Amanda Bailey
Gabriel had a traumatic near-death experience and a concussion that seems to have genuinely wiped his memory. He’s the same narcissistic psychopath. Still a dangerous, controlling con man. The one thing he isn’t is a murderer.
Oliver Menzies
Come up with whatever theory you like, makes no difference to me. I’m doing this.
Amanda Bailey
Doing what?
Oliver Menzies
Thought you read my email to Paul Cole?
TO:Paul Cole
DATE:6 September 2021
SUBJECT:The end
FROM:Oliver Menzies
Paul, when a soul experiences sudden death, can you clarify how that energy is transmuted to the other side? Is there anything I should or shouldn’t do to ensure the process happens quickly and smoothly?
See, I’ve found the Antichrist. It’s sixteenth in line to the throne. It can go anywhere, do anything. Its rise to power will be catastrophic. But thanks to me, it won’t rise to power. I’m here now. I’ll destroy it but I know they’ll destroy me.
WhatsApp messages between me and Ellie Cooper, 6 September 2021:
Amanda Bailey
Shit. Oliver told Paul Cole he’s going to kill Lady Louise Windsor. He’d lie to me in a heartbeat, but not to his spiritual counsellor. Why does he even think she’s the baby?
Ellie Cooper
I told him. I told him Holly’s baby was adopted by Prince Edward and Sophie.
Amanda Bailey
But it wasn’t, Ellie. The baby was a boy.
Ellie Cooper
A boy? Oh. Shit.
Amanda Bailey
It was Don Makepeace’s son, Connor. Gabriel used the angels to kidnap the baby. He wanted cash, of course, but revenge too – Don put Gabriel away years before.
