The water balloon was slashed upward by Father Bennett, not cut through directly but sent flying into the air, followed by a loud "boom" as it exploded. Water droplets splashed everywhere, covering a large area, enveloping Jimmy and Sergeant Porter along with three other police officers.
Father Bennett once again looked warily at the surface of the lake. The explosion of the water balloon hadn't affected him. Jimmy saw the water droplets falling but there were no energy reactions visible, so it was of no concern. Even if any got on him, it could be cleaned with Holy Water later, which wasn't a major issue.
The lake's surface returned to calm, with the previous violent disturbances seemingly never having happened. The only evidence of the recent battle was the water droplets on everyone and a patch of wet ground by the lakeside.
After a while, Father Bennett put away the cross and, holding the Bible, came over to Jimmy: "Jimmy, let's go back."
Jimmy: "Is it settled?"
