Elana nods and waits for you to park the car then gets out and walks around to the driver's side and takes your place. "Come back soon." |

Tuesday 11 June 2075 - 2252 hrs - Meet with Rook, Octane Gas Station, Seattle
Johnny rounds the corner, across the parking lot is an Octane gas station. Scanning the area, he doesn't spot Rook right away, but he hadn't expected to. Rook had a knack for blending in, and seemed to have a new vehicle every week. >>>Rook[Johnny]: Approaching on foot. Where are you?<<< |

Tuesday 11 June 2075 - 2252 hrs - Meet with Rook, Octane Gas Station, Seattle
As you close your call, you see the flick of a light from about forty feet away and Rook steps away from the wall, cupping a cigarette. He approaches you and says, "Hey, long time. You alone?" |

The man takes a couple of drags on his cigarette and nods. "So I gathered. I got a place for you. Not too nice, not too ugly. Got some food and beer in the fridge that I can restock as needed and a caf pot.You got lucky on the hot water, with a thirty minute allotment for the shower and another hour for anything else. You ready to take possession?" OOC: Would you prefer no colors for the talking? |

"Definitely. I will take care of the restocking. Don't want you caught up in this." |

Rook nods and tosses the butt of his cigarette to the ground. "If you are ready, follow me and I can get you there in about ten minutes." |

Johnny continues to look around as they talk. He was hoping this would go quicker. "If you insist, but I'd rather not get you anymore involved. I think I might be in over my head on this one. But what ever you decide, let's do it." [EDITED: Added to clear up missing info] Rook does insist, and the two travel on foot. <<Elana [Johnny]: Standby. He insists on going with me. I will contact you shortly. Traveling on foot.>> This post has been edited by Bastard: Mar 7 2017, 10:44 PM |

Tuesday 11 June 2075 - 2302 hrs - Rook's Safe House, Seattle
The walk actually takes less than ten minutes. The safe house is a small place with two beds in a room that also serves as the living room and kitchen. There is a bathroom with a shower. The kitchen is well stocked and there is an entertainment system on a table in the living room. Rook holds out the keys. "Well?" |

Johnny looks around. The place is small, especially for the price, but it was on short notice. "It will do. Thanks. Where does the third party sleep? Is there a pull out under one of the beds? Also, is there a first aid kit? Might need to change some bandages." |

Rook shakes his head. "Two beds, and you are lucky to get that at the notice I got. You can squeeze together, but if one is on guard, just hot rack it. You got an R4 medkit under the sink. Let me know what you use so I can get the refills. Is it just bandages? I don't want a lot of blood around here. Cleanup is a bitch with blood. I may have to up the cost." He looks at you closely. "So where are your friends and how they getting here? You get careless and let someone follow them in and there will be hell to pay." |

"Chill, Rook. You chose to give the personal tour. Once you're gone, I will pick up my team. I doubt any one followed us, but I want to keep you separated from this, as much as possible." Johnny hands Rook the money, and shakes his hand. "I will walk with you back to the gas station, and we can split up near there." |

Rook seems mollified and the money helps erase his doubts. He shakes your hand and nods, handing you a key to the house. "Right, let's go." The walk back to the gas station is uneventful and you are pretty sure that you can get back to the house. He nods to you and lights another cigarette as he walks away, leaving you alone. |

"Rook. Thanks again." Johnny heads the opposite direction from Rook, but not directly toward where his friends are hopefully still waiting. And hopefully still alive. A cold chill washes over him as the last though crosses his mind. >>Elana [Johnny]: Heading your way on foot. You still where I left you? Anything suspicious?<< |

The response comes quickly. >>Johnny [Elana]: Still in same place, yes. Only thing suspicious is chocolate bar in glove box with use by date of six years ago and pair of black lace woman's panties. Do you dress funny at times, Johnny, or just from one of your conquests in car?<< |

>>Elana [Johnny]: The piece of drek car deserves the spoils of war it earns.<< Johnny turned the corner and the car was there waiting. He climbed in immediately, giving Elana the directions to the safe house. |

Elana offers you the driver's seat, but shrugs when you slip into the passenger's side. The ride is short and soon you are parked in the small garage attached to the house. Elana helps you get Margaret into the room and on one of the beds. She looks around and nods. "I have stayed in worse places. Are we staying on watch or sharing other bed?" |

"Do you think we need to keep watch? They seem to be one step ahead of us, so I am leaning toward keeping watch." |

Elana shrugs her shoulders. "Is safe place, right? I would not think that we need to watch, but can share with you. I can do first if you like." |

"Safe as it is going to get... Just a little unnerved that they were on Margaret so quick. Of course, Bert could have been holding onto this information for a while, or something like that. Hopefully he is okay." |

Elana shrugs. "I do not know much of what is wrong. Bert just say help you and I try to do that. So you rest first and I will wake you in two hours?" |

Johnny conceded, and let Elana take the first watch. |

You are actually pretty tired and quickly fall asleep only to be disturbed in what seems like seconds by Elana gently shaking your arm. "Is time, Johnny. I let you sleep three hours instead of two. I looked at Margaret's bandages and she is fine. Now I go to sleep. Everything is quiet so we might not need guard on watch. You may remain in bed with me if you like." She stands and removes her clothes before climbing naked into bed. |

Johnny didn't realize how tired he was until he tried to open his eyes, but then found that he couldn't close them after watching Elena undress. He was used to women coming on to him; After all, he was good looking, tall, and used to be rich. However, even given that Euro-asians were more sexually liberated, she was coming on strong given the situation. He still had reservations, even though his most trusted contact, Bert, had vouched for her. It seemed she was purposefully distracting him. Then again, she did save his ass at the Met, nothing happened in the first watch, she looked amazing in that black dress, and even more so now without it. Johnny got up and made his way to the kitchenette. |
