Location:Café then on road towards lakeside cabin.
Kim just smiled towards the boy and pulled out a pair of glasses from her pocket and replaced the ones she was wearing and put on a glove on her hand before placing a device on the table. Soon after she started waving around her hand in slow deliberate motions, deep in thought.
"No--no..that's all," she said, now preoccupied with her task. In her eyes there was a drawing in the air over the device which she was making adjustments at and looked for a solution to a problem.
For some reason it always felt like she was behind on her work. Despite having no deadline to adjust to, it always just felt like it. A problem here, a snag there. It kept her up at night when something remained unsolved or bugged. She guessed this was why she always was working on something. That, and she gets bored easily when nothing is happening. Hyper-active mind is a pain in the ass.
Every now and then she took a drink from her glass before the sandwich and coffee came over. Kim ate and drank with one hand while working, almost seeming uninterested in what she was putting into her mouth. She looked over her glasses at the boys and could see an urgency in their movements.
She might be bad at picking up hints, but she did see that one. She nodded and finished her coffee in one swig before collecting her things and replaced her glasses once again.
"Thanks for the meal," she said and placed way too much tip before getting up and left the shop.
Kim got back into her car and started driving down towards the lake, music blaring on full volume, pipe in mouth. She wasn't driving that quickly down the road. Eventually though she could see the messed up camp in the distance before she turned off the road and down a smaller one before she came to the campsite. Her destination was different. It was an old cabin down by the lake that her grandfather owned.
Location:Home then the lake
As her phone beeped she yelped, causing her cats to meow as they stirred from their nap.
"Sorry.." she said quietly and looked at the gun in her hands. It made her shiver with fear. She disliked guns. Not for what they were, but what they could make people do.
Pat had taken instructions from the lady at the shop. Kim was it? She was confident enough to hit a target, standing still, at closer range. But hey; it was something at least! She put the gun to the side and looked at her phone and smiled when she saw who it was from.
When she saw what the message was her face darkened slightly. It sent a shiver down her spine. She hated that place. Pat had been up there once already and got something minor. The place...it gave her the chills. But they had to go back sometime after all. She thought this was too soon though.
She grabbed her purse and looked at the pistol. Her concealed permit had not yet arrived. It was better to leave it at home. She stowed it away somewhere hidden and fed the cats before leaving her apartment and got on her bike. Helmet on head before starting it up. The calming roar of the engine made her sigh softly.
Pat revved it a few times before starting to drive off towards the campsite. While she could not carry much on the bike, it was all she had in means of transport. Part from her car at her parents, but that was far away.
It did not take too long until she arrived, having followed a car for a little while before passing it.
"How rude to play music that loudly.." she said to herself when she had made some distance.
The campsite was what she expected it to be. Horrifying yet again. She shook her head and tried to calm down as she drove up. Pat saw Riley, Vanessa....and a few others. Even a.....dingo? Her face under the helmet twisted into a mixture of surprise and wonder.
She was so surprised that she did not get off her bike for a while until that music came back which pulled her mind back to the situation and Pat got off her bike. She left it still turned on, just in case.. Neither did she bother removing the leathers, nor the helmet and just lifted the visor slightly.
"Another one of your.....friends Vanessa?" the words dripped with venom as her body tensed up, ready for whatever might happen.
