"Alright, we found this here, and a bunch of this shit. But this is what I think you'll find the most interesting." Llidya glanced up from the holographic image to see what Mouse was talking about. She saw the scorched bag he set down, and she shrugged, looking back to the layout of the technology in her helmet on the display. "Found a blackberry, wallet, some cosmetics. Thought you'd be interested in the messages on it." Llidya just listened to him talk as she moved some wires, and sent the image to Cocteau. She set her hands palm down on the table, her fingers curling around the edge of the table as she waited for Mouse to get to his point.

He lifted the device to play some messages. The man did enjoy trying to surprise her. And it was annoying. "Faith, where are you?" Beep. "Faith. It's been a week. Where are you?" Beep. "Faith?! You have three days, and then I'm pulling the story! Call me back NOW!"


"Wait. Faith Danovan?" At the question of the name, Mouse smiled, giving her a nod.

"The one and the same." Llidya bit on her lower lip then, thinking as Mouse continued talking. "So far as I know, she wasn't among the bodies they pulled from the wreckage of the place. But they're still identifying them, mostly vampires. There was, however, a freshly disturbed grave nearby." Llidya nodded, and then looked to the console table as the new hologram from Cocteau popped up.

"Right. See what you can get on about that grave. Get in touch with her Editor, and then have him set up a meeting with me. And did you get in touch with the head vampire guy?" As Llidya spoke she moved around the console, running her fingers through the image and dropping it back to send to Cocteau. Hopefully it would be lighter even with the new specs when he shipped her a finished model. She started up the stairs, Mouse right behind her as he kept talking.

"No, but I got in touch with one of his assistants. You have a meeting with him in a couple of hours. And don't ask about the specialist. Because I know you are about to. That takes a week at least, and it's only been a couple of days." Chapman smirked as Mouse took the words right out of her mouth.

"Good. That gives me a little time to make a few phone calls. Construction?" In the kitchen, she took up her leather bomber jacket, swinging it around to slide onto her shoulders.

"Moving right along. Guisseppe thinks your crazy, of course." A glance was given to the larger man as she let him pass, locking the door behind him.

"Yeah well, he coulda retired after what I paid him for the house. He didn't have to take the job." Mouse laughed, nodding as he watched her get on her motorcycle. Llidya slipped the bluetooth on her ear and cranked up the motor. She idly wondered if Loke had found her bike yet, or if it was going to wait until she got back from Tibet.

"He likes the money. I'll get right on that gravesite. And the editor."

"And the Moony potion idea. Give Suresh Malcolm's number."

"You're still on that?"

"You know how I am about fiction Mouse." Llidya gave the man a grin as she lifted her helmet and slid it on. He was shaking his head, but was already lifting his phone to his ear as she kicked up the kickstand and pulled out around him.

She had two phone calls to make before she got to her destination, both to wolves. She had an hour, plenty of time.
