Welcome to Serbera

Vixen

"It wasn't a hard choice."
He put his arm around her, "Apparently, for you, it is though."

Vixen managed to stiffle the cringe at his intimate gesture. Holding herself stiff in his embrace.

"You know I don't work for people." She managed, although she was intrigued by his earlier words to her. She was still smarting from the humilation of being dragged from her apartment in cuffs and naked.

"What's going to happen to me then? You're going to force me to help you or throw me in jail? Those are my choices? For craps sake, you knew what my answer would be, I'd rather rot in jail than help you Garret... you knew that... you knew..." her voice went quite as she considered this and him and her situation.

"It's that big?"

He just shrugged as if to say it was up to her to think what she liked.

"If I say yes... what happens then?"

 

[poohlive]

"Well, first the cuffs come off, and then we take you to a nice place to get you some decent clothes," he smiled, holding a Corporate credit card in the light, "All expenses paid, of course. Then, we go back and get your bike, cause I know you don't go anywhere without it. Finally, we visit the place. It's deep underground, and you can have virtually any piece of computer equipment you want, even the stuff that's on the black market. The people upstairs, they want this thing open as soon as possible. So, they'll take any means necessary. Things like the law and regulations are mere trifles."
He looked at her seriously, "This is huge. Just wait till you see it. I can't even describe it, and it isn't even fully uncovered yet. There's still the other half of it we haven't dug out yet."
Garret sat back in the seat, looking out his own window.
"Or, you go to prison for life. The only people that know about this are either working for that company or dead. I don't want you to be in the other category," his hand touched her cheek, "I still care about you."
He shrugged his shoulders, "Of course, the decisions is yours."

Zeke had avoided the roadblocks, easily, too easily. Man these idiots were sloppy. Zeke had worked his way back towards Vixen's apartment. Seeing her dragged out by the cop and Garret right behind. Zeke swore heavily. He pulled a small disk shaped object from his pocket and whipped it at the car, where it landed silently on the windshield. He clamped a hand over his ear as he listened to the entire coversation that was held in the car. Zeke growled, wanting to rip Garret's head off and shove it up his ass.

 

[Moneytalks]

Sara

She smiled at Rift now, she had his complete attention. Something she liked having of the people she was speaking to.

To make up for the loss of his comlink she pressed herself closer to him.

"I have a small minor minor problem, a cousin who is living with me and my dad. She's SUCH a goody goody and as daddy has just arrived home early I KNOW she'll be at home making me look bad... I just though... you could like... come on to her for me... distract her enough so I can get back on daddy's good side, reverse the damage. I SWEAR I'll make it worth your while, and she's not ugly or anything... at least I don't think she is... she's just a little... plain." Sara smiled sweetly.

"It'll be worth 5K for you sweetheart..." she murmered her lips close to his ear... "and afterward with daddy all mellow... you and I could get... much better acquainted... what do you think?"

 

[Moneytalks]

Vixen

Vixen jerked her head away from Garret's hand and looked him in the eye.

"Let's get one thing straight. I agree to do the WORK... not to do the work on you. You keep your hands off me and we have a deal." She swallowed her misgivings about working for 'The Company'. She already felt tainted for agreeing to work for them. She just hoped she wasn't selling her soul. She somehow felt she might not be strong enough to survive this one.

She wished now she had stayed with Zeke, but then again. Against 'The Company' he might of gone down with her and that would have sucked.

"I sure hope that card of yours doesn't have a credit limit... coz... it's gonna cost you to replace my clothes."

 

[Maniac9538]

Zeke grinned darkly and hacked into the vid-phone that sat in Garret's car and his face popped up on the screen. 'Hola boys and Girls it is I Ezekial...though Garret I wouldn't call you a Man, Boy or even human. Vixen you ok?' Zeke smiled as Vixen nodded. 'So Garret you having problems with 'The Company'? well you want in I got ways, as does Vixen. Here's the deal I help you leave me and Vixen alone. In other words we do this you wipe our records clean. Though I could do it myself it looks so much better if a cop does it and puts a foot note stating we helped you out with a police matter. Either that or I send the FBSI the vid and sound of your attempted sexual force upon a suspect while she was in your care. Though I hate Blackmail this is a win-win situation for the both of us....we help you, you get to knock out 'The Company', Vixen and I are no longer hassled, and I'll also give you the only copy of the tape I made of your abuse of power.' Zeke smirked on the screen 'Well Garret? Deal or No Deal?'

 

[poohlive]

"Oh, yes, of course," Garret began shivering in front of the monitor, "I didn't realize how easily the cops believed hacker terrorists with shady blackmail tapes. I'd just like to see you walk into a department and hand that over to anyone. Come on, I think it would be nice. Maybe you could get another tape of their police brutality," his eyes were cold, and he turned to the front seat, "Hank?"
"Already hooked into his location Sir. The cops are on their way."
Garret smiled, "Listen, 'The Company' owns the police. Once you show them anything, they'll just somehow misplace it, and you'll be spending the rest of your life as a bitch to some guy named Bruno."
He was about to push delete, but stopped, "You know, honestly, I would have liked for you to join my little team. But that stunt you pulled earlier, hitting and then dashing off, that was just uncalled for," He heard police sirens in the background, "Say hello to Bruno for me."
He deleted the monitor.
"Hank, make sure no more calls come in here. I want Vixen to have a quiet ride."
Hank nodded.
The car stopped. Garret got out, wanting to hold her hand, but remembering their deal. This would get tricky, he didn't honestly think she would let him touch her. Such a shame, she had the kind of body you wanted to touch, if just for a moment.
"Here we are," he said, pointing at Frank's Discount Dresses! (Hee hee, ok, just pretend it's some suave place, the best in the city)
"Come on, let's go see if this card does have a limit after all."

 

[Moneytalks]

Vixen

(Franks Discount Dresses? LOL you're a riot Pooh darlin'... ggls)

Vixen stepped out of the vehicle. Despite only wearing Garret's jacket she managed to walk into the store like she was wearing the latest in courtier design.

The sales bitch stalked up to them and saw the gleam of 'The Corporate Card' and immediately started to simper.

"Show me everything you have in black... the tighter the better." Vixen said ignoring the simpering blonde who seemed to take no offense as she considered her commission.

The sales bitch pulled out black lace tops, black skirts, pants, suits. Vixen pointed out the things she like and stepped into one of the change rooms. Thankful to be removing the jacket at least. She pulled on a slinky skirt made from fine material that slither across her skin. She loved the feel of it and like the exhorborant price tag even better.

She pulled on a top, taking it off again quickly in disgust. The sales bitch popped her head in.

"Honey, try this, I know it isn't black but BELIEVE me, you'll love the effect!" Vixen took the silver piece of material from her and shook it out to take a better look. It was like liquid silver. It shimmered and was held together delicated with the daintiest chain straps she'd ever seen. She managed to get it on and loved it. It clung to her breasts and slithered across her stomach. The straps leaving her back practically naked. She pulled on a black leather short fitted jacked and a pair of dangerous looking long leather boots, with killer heels.

"Cool... I'll take the lot." She said as she left the change room.

 

[Incarnation 1.1]

OOC: I had put up some information about X, like what he did during the say, the girl he lived with after saving her from her abusive husband, about how he loves video games, the guitar, and music, and about how he works in a department store. The girl had some conections and was able to get him an identy and socal sercurty card. But I put my password in wrong and it deleted everthing. By the way, in human form, he goes by the name Maximus.

 

[Chronicler]

Rift

I gulped. She was obviously playing me. Then again, I could afford to get played for five grand. "First, I need your ComLink. You may have just cost me a lot more than five thousand credits. She looked taken aback, then the scowled and pushed me away. I smiled, because I knew she wasn't goint to figure me for a fool again.

"I could have you get out right here!" she snapped.
"Yes. You could. Here will be fine" I said lightly.

She looked puzzled, and then angry, and for a moment I thought she would call my bluff, but she tapped on her driver's shoulder and then handed me his phone. She was obviously paying as she went.

"Here!" she said, thrusting the phone in my hands. "Thanks" I said quickly as I dialed Zeke's number.

"Zeke! What's been happening?"
"What been happening? Rift! Sometimes I think I should get some new friends. What's been happening is that enforcer you called me about -----"

The line gave way to static...

Hmmm.

 

[Maniac9538]

The cops found him....the shooting had started the second he started talking to Rift. 'The Company' found him, damn this was not his night. Zeke rolled behind a dumpster, drawing from under his trench coat his dual .50 cal Desert Eagles. 'You wanna part uglies? let's party.' Zeke stepped out from behind the dumpster and lit that alley up like no tomorrow, the cops diving for cover. Zeke just grinned and took off, hopping onto some guy's motorcycle that was on the corner, kick starting it and following the tracer he put on Garret's car. Pulling up behind the squad car, he walked to the front. Hank stepped out to meet a swift right cross to his face knocking him out. Zeke hefted Hank over his shoulder and took him to the alleyway nearby, to switch his and Hanks clothes. Then placing Hank on the motorcycle sent him on a programmed autopilot course that would have the cops chasing the wrong guy all night long, he then hacked into the computer system replacing his picture for Hank's. Zeke, now dressed like Hank, sat in the drivers seat. Garret was gonna eat his fist but not tonight, no tonight he was gonna take down 'The Company' for killing his Dad and then Garret was gonna get it for hurting Vixen.

 

[Incarnation 1.1]

Maximus, AKA, X

Maximus was walking into the arcade that he went to quite often, wearing a head band and leather jacket, a new game was in and he could not wait to beat it, all the regulars looked at him and started mumering things like "its him", some people who were here the first time came up to ask about him, so he pulled out his calling card that read "The Game master of Acard 2002" and the address of the arcade, unfourtnetly, he only felt air and his face went pale, hee must have droped it either in the car, the building, our into one of the boxes. He was introuble, by now they would have cops searching all of those things, he gulped loudly, he went into the arcade and called Shana. "Shana...I kinda have a problem.....I droped my calling card......near one of the villeones." the next part was screaming from the woman, mainly because this would draw whoever was looking for him closer, goodthing no one knew his name except for a few close friends who would not likly tell about him, except for Wesal, but he would only do that for a high price. he hung up the phone after saying good bye, he would have to make Shana orgasim big time and she would probly use her spiked whipe, he shudders at the thought and went to the new game, heck, this might be the last time he got to play, he was also wearing a back pack with some chips in it, computer chips, the game is hard, but he still beats it, he opens the back pack and pulls out a camra and starts taking pictures of the gaping people and a few poeple who are paying Wesal, who, as usally, bet them he would beat the game on his first try. he took the computer chips that the machine spit out, a large blue one with a holo gram sticker on the center that had the words "Your a god!" and took his coin card ((Arcade 2002 made ever one who played there use the coin cards so that a person would not take over anothers game and take there points)), and also two chips that wer gold that said "YOur an ace!" but thses were not holographic, he finally had enough points to buy ever thing in the prize part, he walked to the counter and handed his pack over to the man and also his three new chips, the man took them and then his eyes widend as he saw how many points the man had. "What do you....." he interupted the man and said "Everthing." the man called some other workers and they all helped him carrie his new prizes to his car, the whole back seat was filled, he tipped a guy who had also helped with a chip that had a 90 on it, it was something he had left over and also a ten point chip. He drove off, starting to feel like he cheated since he had advance thinking ablitys and moterskills
OOC> I think it was time X got into this, he has been introduced enough, if anyone else agrees, tell me.

 

[Moneytalks]

Sara

"Hmph... sounds like your friend didn't wish to speak with you anyway." At seeing the comlink disconnect.

"Don't worry about your friends, I'm sure they can take care of themselves. Meanwhile, I've offered you easy money. What's your answer?" She asked.

She was starting to enjoy the verbal dueling between herself and the guy she'd picked up. As she'd had a lot of opportunities to check him out she decided he was sexy in a rakish, strange, bad boy kind of way.

Still, she had a reason for keeping him. Despite being put out by his off-hand manner. She wasn't used to men not falling at her feet, and this one seemed far from willing to do it, despite her obvious wealth. Maybe he couldn't be bought? She almost laughed out loud at that thought. Everyone could be bought.

This guy was perfect for the task at hand.

She smiled.

"So... you ready to do business with me?" She asked suddenly curious as to what he'd actually be like as a seducer. She wondered if under different circumstances whether or not even she'd fall for him? She didn't like the answer that came unbidden to her mind.

As if to prove her immunity, she leant forward and touched her lips to his.

 

[Chronicler]

Rift

As her lips touched mine I shuddered involuntarily and hoped she didn't notice. God; I was letting her get to me. That was unprofessional, I reprimanded myself.

"Ahem," I began, trying desperately to regain my composure, but from the look in her eyes she could tell I was phased. I would not let it happen again. Anyway, I knew her type. She probably eats guys like me before spitting them back into the gutter. Except after this next job, I wasn't going be in the gutter for much longer.

I glanced at her. She was smiling vaguely as if she had made some kind of point. No...I wouldn't let her get to me, because when I fall, I fall hard, and I was through with rejection. And that's all she would do, once she was finished with me: reject me.

"You were saying?," I muttered, feeling unnecessarily bitter.

 

[Moneytalks]

Sara

"Tsk tsk, such surliness, anyone would think you didn't like kisses from women." She laughed teasingly, "is that it then, you just don't like us? It's quite a challenge, I admit to being intrigued as to whether I could turn you back to our side." She laughed again.

Her hand resting on his knee and sliding deliberately up his thigh and dangerously close to the one thing that could prove one way or another if he were attracted to her. Just then the limo driver buzzed them.

"Maam, we've arrived."

"Oh bother, just when the conversation was getting interesting!" She grinned at him shamelessly before having the door opened. She slipped out easily and waited for Rift to follow.

"I'll introduce you as a friend from the Academy. Jane will be sucking up to daddy in a big way so you won't miss her. All I need is for you to distract her, if you can compromise her in front of daddy even better. I'll double the money I'm offering." She smiled with a gleam in her eye.

They approached the grand double doors of her abode and they swung open automatically. A doorman rushed forward to take Sara's coat. Sara checked herself in the impossibly large mirro and fixed her hair and did something amazing. She tugged on her micro mini skirt until it became ankle length and positively demure looking. The doorman produced a soft elegant sweater which she threw over her skimpy top and then she dabbed at the red lipstick until it became a muted colour. The transformation for foxy party girl to demure innocent daughter complete she pulled Rift along with her to meet her "daddy"

Daddy was a large imposing man. His great wealth had allowed him to indulge his various appetites and he was a lot heavier than he had been in his youth. His eyes were hard and grey and they seemed to drill holes in you when he looked your way. His full head of hair was white with premature age but otherwise he looked successful and strong and mean.

"Daddy! I wasn't expecting you until tomorrow, this is a friend of mine from the academy, Charles. Charles, this is daddy." She knew Rift would be cringing at the name she'd given him and she got a little bit of pleasure from the knowledge.

 

[Chronicler]

Rift

Charles!? I gave her a "We'll talk about this later..." look and extended my hand towards Sara's father. He stared at it grimly for a moment before extending his own. His grip was strong, but so was mine: a strong handshake is important. He smiled at me for a moment (the smallest things can make the difference) and then looked me over. My style was obviously not suitable for whatever kind of Academy we were supposed to be going to. He grunted something inaudible and then said: "Why are you dressed like that?"

I looked down at myself. I was wearing black jeans and my shoes hadn't been cleaned lately. The latter wasn't a problem since they always got dirty again when I'm being chased by the cops. I had a white vest on and a long black coat. A platinum chain, showing my family's old symbol, that of a kestrel shone slightly against my chest. I was glad I had the coat on, since it protected my left arm, which had a tribal tat[t]oo (?, can't remember how to spell it running from the wrist my upper backside. My hair was rough, but it just added to my general demeanour.

"It's a costume. I'm going to a fancy dress party tonight as a hacker," I lied. Sara smiled barely unable to conceal her glee at my obvious discomfort. I glared at her.

"Uncle (.....), I think Sara's been out partying again!"

The girl slipped out from behind the big man, and I immediately realised why Sara seemed to dislike her so much. I had a sudden impulse to ask if her nose could get any browner, but with great self restraint, took her hand kissed it lightly.

"And you must be Sara's cousin...? No, I don't think she told me your name, and she definitely didn't tell me you were so beautiful..."

She blushed and smiled at me suggestively. This had better be worth the money...

 

[Guest]

Jane Bruceton

Raised a wary eyebrow at his chilvary.

Sara stepped forward daintily to perform proper introductions.

"Charles, meet my cousin Jane, Jane Bruceton. She's daddy's brother's daughter so we share the same last name. Lucky that since now she lives with us there isn't any confusion." She smiled but it didn't reach her eyes.

Seth Bruceton looked over Rift carefully after his daughter's casual introduction. The boy held himself well and his excuse seemed plausible.

"Sara... HAVE you been out partying?"

Sara pouted prettily and smiled a little more sincerely this time. "Daddy! Honestly, do I LOOK like I've been out anywhere? You told me I needed to apply myself more to my studies and that is EXACTLY what I've been doing, Charles here is helping me with my Computer Science Module. He promised me most of the day so he had to change for the party tonight in advance. I told him you wouldn't mind, you're not uptight about things like that ARE you daddy?" She said this last part with a sing-song quality that didn't allow a negative response.

Jane frowned. "Uncle Seth, She hasn't been home all night. I've been TERRIBLY worried about her. I wish she would understand that I care about her like a sister, she really had me in a state all night!"

Sara barely managed to conceal her distaste as Jane spoke.

Seth's face hardened and he turned to look at Sara for an explanation. Sara smiled unruffled.

"Since you weren't around to be told Jane you can hardly be THAT upset with me, besides I left word with Hans as to where I could be reached. I was sleeping over at Leila's place." She said smoothly hoping her father wasn't going to check that one. Leila would hardly be in the mood to cover for her at the moment.

 

[Chronicler]

Rift

Yuck. This girl knew how to kiss ass, and quite frankly, it was beginning to get to him. God. "I can assure you, Sara's been out with me the whole time, and she definitely has not been parting," I said calmly, smiling at Jane. Plain Jane. That made me chuckle to myself. The conversation was drifting past me, I was in a kind of daze, but I stepped forward to excuse myself. I wasn't going to spend the rest of the night like this.

"Anyway, seeing as I'm already late I'm going to leave"

The big stepped forward and shook my hand again. I didn't even bother looking at Sara; I knew I'd lost my money and any chance to see her again.

"Goodbye Jane," I said, pronouncing the name as though it was an exotic fuit. "Goodbye," she said, starry eyed.

X gets punishes by Shana

X was in Maximus form, in this form he had black hair and ruby redy eyes, at the moment he was tied down in a spread eagle with a tall, black haired woman standing over him holding a red whip with spike, her heair was cut short, and ended just above her ears, her eyes were green and she normaly had a sweet, school girl face and was about 18, having eloped at 14, her and her husband had bribed a judge to marry them. For four years that man had abused her, and one night he desided he wanted out of the marrige, so him, and his new girl friend kid naped Shana and was going to frame her for the murder of his girl friends hubby, and then slit her wrist making look like she killed him and then herself, how ever, X happend to be in the area and saw what was happing, he swooped down and killed the couple, and unbound Shana, she looked at him and was frightend, but then he explained what happend and that led to them talking and becoming lovers, anyway, like I was saying Shana had a sweet face, but not at the moment she had a face that could melt steel and probly scare a corpse, her DD breast stood out ((her husband made her get breast enhancments.)) and her nippels were erect. "You little worm, because of your ego we may have to go on the run and leave the planet! I wanted to die here of old age and now thanks to you if I stay, I will probly die from a gun shot!" she brought the whip down on him sevral times, leaving sevral scars on his body, at this moment Vixxen was at the clothes store.........
OOC> I hope this is acceptable now, I made it so the time line for X and everone else was insyc. I mean that Shana was punishing X for droping his calling card around the time Garriot took Vixxen to the cloathing store.....I hope this is OK with ever one else......

Rift

Shit. Why did I do that?
You know why you did that.
I do? Hey, who are you anyway?
I'm you. I'm the voice of reason. Congratulations, you're doing the right thing.
Oh, and what would you know about it?
I know that she's got the kind of smile that'll melt your heart. I know when she pouts, it sends shivers down your spine.
Then you can't be me, because you don't know me at all. It's just her whole manner, she's just got the kind of manner I could...forget it.
You were going to say, "She's got the kind of manner I could fall in love with". I know, because I'm you. And you know what, you're right. But you also know that she'll use you and then slit your throat when she's done. Did you see the way she was sucking up to her father? She's a real daddy's girl, and she want's a jetsetter, someone rich, someone who's like her; and face it: you're not.
D'you know what? You're right. I'd be better off with the girl-next-door type.
'Cept that the girl next door to us is a two-bit hooker.

My Voice of Reason and I laughed together. Then I asked him if he would stop talking to me, since I was afraid I was turning schizo.

"Ouch" I said.
A very large Doberman was tugging at my coat. He was probably trained to attack trespassers, but I was good with dogs. You get some people dogs won't go near, because they're afraid. Zeke's one of those people. Other people dogs won't attack simply 'cos they like them, like me. Both kinds are useful, but I'm glad I'm the likeable kind. I bet Sara would really go for Zeke...

"Hey, wait up!"
"Sara? What are you doing out in the rain? Listen, you don't have to worry, I'm leaving"
"No, wait! I have to tell you something..."

 

[Moneytalks]

Sara

Sara felt the rain ruining her hair and she didn't really care at all. This was a slightly different Sara from the one Rift had seen sucking up to her father.

"Rift... Rift..." She looked a little worried as if she was really thinking about the next words she was going to say.

"It... it was me... I was the girl who called you... about..." She was cut off.

"SARA!! Get in out of the rain this INSTANT what do you think you're DOING you're making a SPECTICAL of yourself!" Seth Bruceton hollared, glaring at Rift as if he'd dragged her out there himself.

Jane was looked out at them too, scowling at Sara now that Seth wasn't looking at her. Her mousy brown hair was pulled back tight into a most unbecoming bun. Her pale features were unsurprising and she wore no make-up to help out either. She was slender and not unhappily proportioned but it was hard to tell under the shapeless style she had chosen. Straight beige pants and a cream coloured sweater that covered any signs of feminine curve unlike Sara's which, now especially, clung to her curves.

"I... I've got to go... but please... meet me later?" Her big baby blue eyes implored him.

 

[Maniac9538]

Zeke sat there in the car tapping his hand against the steering wheel in time with a beat, listening to the radio as the cops chased Hank all over the city. He looked inside the building watching Vixen and Garret, his jaw dropped at the outfit Vixen decided to buy. Damn she looked good, Zeke rubbed his face. One thing was for sure if he and Vixen hooked up after all this was done he would take the money he had made and buy a vacation to that resort planet for the two of them. Get away from all this insanity and get to know one another again.

 

[Chronicler]

Rift

God look at those eyes.
I thought the point was not to look at them.
This is important though. She was the one who called me.Do you actually believe her. You're such a chump.
I thought the deal was: YOU LEAVE ME ALONE.
Fine, don't say I didn't warn you. Call me when you need someone to say "I told you so".

"I'll pick you up outside at two" I said. She nodded, before returning inside. Jane went back inside too, with a smug smile and a fairly triumphant look on her face. Sara's father however did not go back inside. He walked up to me and positioned his face very close to mine. He'd obviously realised I wasn't pretending to be a hacker.
"I don't want you to come near my daughter again. If I see you around here again, you'll have more than just the police to deal with"
More than the police? The only thing above the police force was the Company's Enforcer Unit, the CEU. He obviously worked for the Company.
"I think she's old enough to make her own decisions, don't you?"
"You obviously didn't hear me," he said, and I realised too late he was going to punch me. I crumbled around his fist as he winded me, groaning a little. He punched down onmy head, but I recovered quickly and caught his fist. He looked surprised. He obviously didn't think I was very strong. I pushed down with my fingers, crushing his hand.
"Stop! STOP!," he shouted, tears running down his cheeks.
"Don't fuck with me," I said and left. I became dangerous around anything related to the Company.

"Zeke, I need a favour"
"What?," he said, his voice crackling slightly over the ComLink.
"Can I use your motorcycle tonight?" Mine's in service."
"Sorry, man. I've lent it to Hank for a joyride."
"Who's Hank?" I said. At this point there was a slight pause in the conversation.
"Oh, ummm, just some guy I met..."
"Oh. Well...Okay. I guess I'll have to figure something else out"

At two a.m. I pulled up outside her house with a brand new Chrysler. Shit, I thought. She's gonna think I'm trying to impress her. The Chrysler was a 'Company Car'. We hadn't actually bought it for our little organisation: We'd stolen from the Company. None of us actually liked to drive it since it drew to much attention. I saw her approaching the car at about half-pat two. She'd probably had a hard time getting out because of her father...

Sara

Sara slipped into the car barely noticing it's make or model.

She was quiet and seemed pale. She wasn't wearing any make-up aside from some lip gloss, and her hair was pulled back into a loose ponytail. She wore black pants in a soft body hugging fabric and a warm looking sweater in a baby blue colour which accentuated her colouring.

"Can... can you drive us somewhere... away... away from here." She shuddered and snuggled into the seat as if she wanted it to swallow her up.

"You... you do know Thommy don't you?" She asked finally as Rift moved the car out onto the main road. She wasn't looking at him, she looked straight ahead. Her profile was classicly beautiful as if a sculpter had hand made her.
