Reaching the main town, she pulled into a street side parking spot, just like she did when they arrived at the hospital and got out the car. Locking up because she was always paranoid about having it hijacked if she didn't, she looked around each side of town and wondered where to start. It didn't help that she didn't know what Travers' occupation was so she could start there, only that when they grabbed him, he was on his way to work.
It took her a while before deciding she might be better off starting at the bar as in her eyes, everyone knew everyone in a bar. So she walked down the road and found her chosen location, walking inside and up to the bar. "What can I get ya?" the male bartender asked her, as he finished serving someone else at the other end of the bar. "Information preferably" she came right out and said. "Oh? WHat makes you think a bar is the place for information?" he replied with a smile, "Because barman and staff know everybody" she countered with a smirk.
"So what information do you wanna know?" he asked, "I wanna know if you know a Mr.Travers, tall bloke, scraggily mousey brown hair, wears ill-fitting suits" she replied, describing the guy Dean was currently watching in their motel room. The barman tilted his head as he gave the description a thought before nodding, "yeah, I know the guy, think his first name is Simon. Quiet bloke from what I recall, why do you wanna know about him? He doesn't seem your type" he replied with a flirtatious smile which Mika decided to ignore.
"he's a friend of a friend and I'm trying to find him, but I know nothing of him."
"Ask your mate?"
"that's the thing, I can't, they recently died...which is why I need to find them. I tracked him to this town and i'm pretty sure I have the wrong cell number for him because that's proving a dead end"
The barman turned to the tillpoint to grab a piece of paper and pen, where he jotted down a street name and slid it over to her. "That's the street he lives in I think, but that's all I know in that department. Kinda keeps to himself mostly. Think he works at the solicitors building up the road." he explained. Mika nodded and took the paper, putting it into her hoodie pocket. "Thanks, this is a great start for me. oh, is he married do you know?" she asked curiously. "Not that I know of, but I don't know him well enough to say for sure" he said back, which made Mika raise an eyebrow.
"Interesting, thanks for the help. Might pop in tonight if I need a drink" she told him with a polite smile, about to head off. "Wait! I can give you the address of solicitors" the barman, quickly jotting down the address but also added his number at the same time, then handed it to her with a wink. Taking it, she looked down and knew it was a blessing that Dean wasn't here right now. She then simply left the bar and headed to the solicitors to see if they could give her anymore concrete information.

Travers saw that Dean really wasn't going to let up and this getaway he wanted to do was going to be a bit more difficult than he had originally planned. He listened to Dean's initial reply about he and Mika, "Not common granted, but not completely unheard of" he replied in those few moments Dean remained silent, then listened to him speak more.
He found it curious and interesting that Dean and Mika have been that close for so long. He even nodded in understanding over Dean's warning about Mika's strength and capabilities at being a hunter. If he was untied he would have held his hands up in defence, but he couldn't so all he could do was nod again.
"Warning headed, but I'm not digging" he told Dean, even though he very much was digging for information and trying to find a weak spot in the hunters, which he seemed to now have.
"My wife and I? We were high school friends also. One of those situations of neither had the guts to ask each other out until much later in life when we reunited. After school we went our separate ways for a while. But when we saw each other again? It was like we were never apart" he told him, hoping that it would be believable, as he had focused mentally on coming up with an in depth story all this time.
"I'd do anything to keep my darling Carrie safe" he added with a sigh.
