When Cooper blocked her exit to safety, Lillith couldn’t help but let the rage bubble up under the surface. She narrowed her eyes at him and bared her teeth with a frenzied grumble. Maybe it was the drugs? Maybe she’d just had enough of his shit that day? Before she could forcefully shove him out of the way, he started rambling until he was being surprisingly reasonable.

Lillith took a few pictures of her own, being sure to include the flyer and other objects that could be used to identify this church, specifically - Including the morally disturbing statue behind the pulpit. Just as she finished snapping the picture of naked Jesus, the sound of footsteps nearly made her piss herself.

Thankfully, it was Cooper’s idea to fly this time, and she more than willingly followed suit. Not that he’d given her much choice in the matter, he yanked her by her wrist as if she were nothing more than a ragdoll… funny how his pet name for her kind of fit in that moment. Together they burst through the doors and sprinted down the road until both of them struggled for breath. Panting, Lillith chuckled a little “Nothing like two heavy smokers taking a casual stroll, eh?” she finished the joke with a nasty cough.

“I got some good pics too. That was quick thinking on your part, Coops. I’m impressed… it looks like you may still have a few brain cells yet!” She teased him with a light smile. In that moment, they almost seemed normal. It was almost as if her not-quite girlfriend hadn’t been murdered a few days ago. It was almost like Cooper wasn’t carrying a gun that he’d threatened her with early that afternoon. It was almost like they didn’t just finish snooping in a church for gun-toting psychopaths. Almost.

Lillith cleared her throat a bit, she was starting to sober up a bit more than she cared to. “Yeah, let’s get to that party, we’re only about a block away. I’m on a mission to get wrecked and find someone to get lucky with tonight!” she said cheerfully as they walked, letting her eyes flick over to him for the briefest of moments. ‘No, that would be a bad idea’ – she thought to herself… but bad ideas were the only ones she had.

Before long, they had found the address. The house was pretty large, multiple stories and both a front and a back yard. The house music was pumped up so loud that it was practically shaking the windows of the cars on the street. Lily took a breath of air, tainted with alcohol and stale cigarettes, and smiled peacefully. This was what she lived for. She skipped up the walkway and quickly found herself pushing through the crowd of sweaty, pulsing bodies with Cooper trailing close behind her. Mission objective #1: Acquire booze.
