No Sleep

It'd prolly been a little over a week since she'd slept. Oh she'd passed out for a few minutes here and there at her desk at the station, or some restaurant that she owned. Nothing more than fifteen minutes. Chapman didn't have time for sleep. No, not since her new regime.

A loud gunshot pierced the air of her warehouse, causing her to start awake from her latest ten minute catnap. Chapman sat up suddenly, fully alert, ears buzzing with a sudden adrenaline rush.

"Sorry 'bout that Chapman." She turned looking up at one of the massive six foot by four foot screens mounted on the wall. Patreaus was visible on the screen, a smirk on his face as he was setting his hand gun back into his shoulder holster. "But the sultry sound of my voice wasn't cutting it."

"Uh-huh." She replied, hand reaching up to wipe at her eyes to get the blurriness out. "What's going on?"

"Nothing. Just checking on ya. You look rough." Llidya hmphed at his words and looked back down to the paperwork before her, and then to the pictures of crime scenes next to that. "Want us to come to town for a while?"

"Yeah that's just what I need. You guys here being bored off your ass and destroying bars."

"What's got you so grumpy?"

"Dina and Aryca are here, and she's being a manipulative bitch. And I never asked her to fucking come here in the first damn place. She just thinks she can just fucking do whatever. And then Lyliyana's doing her wandering around thing. Which it was cute at first but damn now I'm worrying about her and shit. And I don't care if she's got a damn vampire bodyguard. She's gonna get herself killed-"

"Chapman calm down. You can't save the world you know."

"Fuck you. I can try." And she hadn't even mentioned what was really bothering her. An idea popped into her mind then, and she looked back to the screen.

"You guys are going to Russia right?"

"Yeah. Why?"

"Need an interpreter?"

"We were gonna-"

"Yeah well don't bother. And don't bother me. Go away, I'm sending you one." Patreaus just smirked and the screen clicked off.

Llidya reached into her pocket, and produced her cell phone, scrolling through the numbers before finally landing on the one she wanted. The phone started ringing, and that bubbly voice on the end responded.

"Yeah hey Lyl, it's me."

Lyliyana was just pulling some cookies out of the oven when the phone rang. She plucked it off the counter and sat on one of the stools as she flipped it open.

"Lyliyana speaking!"

Her voice was that normal, bubbly, you-can-hear-the-thousand-watt-smile-on-her-face pitch and tone. "Oh hi Llidya! What are you doing? Do you want to come over for some cookies? I just baked some." Before Lyliyana was able to go off on one of her spiels, Llidya stopped her.

Lyliyana nodded as she listened, like Llidya would be able to see that.
"Okay sounds great!" Lyliyana hung up the phone and made her way to her bedroom to start to pack. It was something to do while waiting for the cookies to cool. When she was finished, she moved back into the living room and knocked on Hector's door, informing him that they were going to Russia in the morning and that he needed to pack what he needed. She had a job as an Interpreter for Llidya!

~~~~~

The next morning, before the sun came up, dressed in a bright orange sundress with yellow stripes, the duo made their way to the airport. Llidya had a private plane waiting, with the passenger area specifically designed for the safe travel of herself and Hector. Lyliyana made sure to let Llidya know to let certain people know where she was going, why and for how long. And with that, they were off.
