[IC] Hidden among humanity

[BlazingxLynx]

Nicole gotten up and continued working, her right ear twitching at the many different sounds throughout the cafe. Though she picked up on a conversation, hearing something about a orphanage? The neko was torn away from her thoughts when she had to clean up one of the tables after a few happy costumers left.

KatherinWinter said
"I have a little clinic not far from here. It was a gift from the benefactor. Along with my house, so I didn't have to return to my father or the orphange when I got myself in over my head." LIz explains.

Myra nodded and smiled. "Well I'm glad the benefactor was there for you."

[KatherinWinter]

"Me too. You will have to visit me some time so we can catch up some more." Liz invited Myra. She quickly scribbled down both her home and the clinic's address for both Julius and Myra. She hoped her old friends would stay visit now that they knew they were in the same city.

[CallaLily180]

Myra smiled and tucked the note into her pocket. "I have to go, I'm still on the clock." She waved them goodbye and walked away.

[KatherinWinter]

With lunch done Liz headed back to her little clinic. As she walked Liz thought about the past. Life had never been an easy road, but it had had moments of greatness. Her friends from the orphanage were one of those moments. It was good to have some of them close. If they had been close a few months ago she probably wouldn't have gotten herself into trouble. Then again with out them she had meet to extraordinary people.

[Vortex]

(Yes she did meet extraordinary people!)

With lunch done Julius left the cafe and made his way to the office of "the boss" to collect his profits

Myra sighed and got back to work, she had to serve a lot of people today and most of them didn't have the sweetest memories. When she was done she walked over to her house bumping into a pretty blond lady. Angelique turned to her and smiled a bit, she walked up to her and asked. "Um..could you direct me to a house for sale?" Myra shrugged and jerked her thumb towards her place, it was a nice sized two story house. "You look new, you can stay with me for a while." She knew this was a nice lady since she had peaked into her memories. Angelique smiled and they walked to Myra's house.

The interrogation hasn't gone off entirely clean. Of course Stephanie had to make more than one excuse about all this. Late night at club, having a nosebleed at the morning. There wasn't any sign of any form of struggling in her body, nor any kind of wounds, so someone seeing 'her being captured' must have been someone else, just looking very similar. However, Stephanie was told to stay within the city limits until told otherwise and be cautious in case these men were actually after her.

As Stephanie got outside, she grabbed her cell phone for two things: First she would text a code message of asking hows the next weekend for a specific bouncer, working for a nightclub she liked to go. Of course she hadn't been there during that night but she had her regular payment for the bouncer to cover her story. After that, she would use the internet to track down the service phone number for the clinic she had just been. Liz had said something very specific about 'looking for the right places' to Stephanie before they had departed. Right now, Stephanie was in dire need for finding right people to get on track about this mystery of kidnappers and therefore after finding the customer cell phone number for the clinic, Stephanie texted to it in hope that Liz would actually carry it around if she was not at the clinic:

'Can we meet? I would like to talk, It's important. Stephanie Norman'.

[KatherinWinter]

Liz was sitting at the check in desk filling out paperwork when she heard her cellphone go off. Setting work aside, which was one of the nice things about being your own boss, Liz read the text. She smiled pleased with Stephanie's offer. She knew the woman was probable seeking information on other paranormals, but Liz didn't mind. What was important was that she was reaching out. Liz replied with the address of the café where she had had lunch. Maybe Myra would still be there and Liz could introduce the two.

[Tarantulass]

'On my way'.

Stephanie would place the cell hpone back to her pocket, while already walking to the corner of the street in hopes for calling a cab for herself. It didn't take long to find a ride, though the afternoon rush was something Stephanie didn't like, tapping her fingers nervously on the seat of the car, looking outside for the street signs, hoping they were on the right turn already.

Paying the cab, Stephanie got outside to find herself in front of what looked like, while not exactly a class of place she would be going on regular basis, it did have that homely look, like safezone out from the busy and noisy streets. Stephanie was glad she managed to grab the fast things to wear when she had left her apartment and not her usuals, or otherwise her dress would be completely out of place. Stepping inside, Stephanie was already looking around to see in case Liz was on any of the tables. Of course she was also looking something to buy for herself so she wouldn't just go and sit there while not being a customer.

[CallaLily180]

Angelique was getting settled when Myra got a call from her boss, the lunch rush was overwhelming them and he needed her back. She sighed and went back to work she saw a lady and lead her to a table. She put on her apron and took out her notepad, she walked up to her and handed them a menu. "Hi my name is Myra and I will be serving you today."

[Tarantulass]

While walking to the table, Stephanie cleared her throat, though waiting for the waitress to finish her line before speaking herself. "Yes, I was actually in for a meeting. If you have seen a woman, roughly this tall, blonde, blue eyes called Liz?" Stephanie asked politely, trying to adjust her arm on the height she thought Liz had roughly been. Feeling a slight shadow coming from the windows, Stephanie took a quick look to see it was just a few clouds setting in... it was still more than bright enough for her to keep her human composure, though the lack of sunlight had always made Stephanie nervous. It was a lifelong paranoia.

[KatherinWinter]

Liz hurried to the cafe. She hated to keep Stephane waiting but she had gotten caught by a mother with a sick child in her way out the door. Liz was breathless as she reached the cafe.

[CallaLily180]

Myra smiled slightly and pointed to Liz. "Her? Let me get her for you." She walked up to Liz and smiled. "Hi Liz who is your new friend?" She leads Liz to the table and hands her a menu. "I'll be back in a second to take your orders." She turned and walked over to another table.

[Tarantulass]

Stephanie nodded as thanks to the waitress, taking a short look at the menu before Liz would sit down. "Thanks for coming in with such short notice... I hope you weren't in middle of a surgery." Stephanie said, smiling to her little joke... or just smiling in general. Taking a quick glance at nearby tables of the crowded cafe, she hoped there wasn't too many curious ears around. "So, about those 'contacts', you said you know quite a lot of people." Stephanie started, turning the page on the menu, but not looking at it yet. "You wouldn't have anyone who could possibly find out what was cause of my wound earlier the day?" she then asked. "It happened during last night, but let's say my head gets bit distracted during nighttime, so I'm not remembering anything about it".

[Vortex]

Julius left the building with a hefty sum of cash, over a thousand dollars, he smiled at this for he had become quite wealthy thanks to this business. Other people might be disgusted at his line of work but no, not Julius for when Julius first started he had similar thoughts but he began to console himself by saying that "everyone dies eventually, I'm just quickening the pace...". He walked home.

[KatherinWinter]

"Actually I know exactly who to ask." Liz replied with smile. She would ask Myra to help. Myra wasn't found of using her gift. But she wouldn't mind helping someone recover a memory.

[Tarantulass]

"Really? That' great!" Stephanie answered. "Didn't think it was going to be too hard, but this is... just, wow, thank you so much." Stephanie said in relief, as she lifted her menu in more casual way. "So you've been here before? I was just thinking if there's anything special I should try." Stephanie commented. "I guess I should eat... man, hadn't anything for the entire day, barely a glass of water".

[CallaLily180]

Myra looked at everyone she was serving and saw that she still had to check on Liz and her friend. She walked up to them and pulled out her notepad and pencil. "Hi what would you like to drink?"

[KatherinWinter]

"Oh yes this is my favorite place on this side of town to eat. Everything is wonderful. I highly suggest the soup. Hey Myra. I need a favor. Can you stop by my house after work? I'll take the potato soup."
