Welcome to Gaia! ::

Terry was frustrated, but he didn't show it. Today has not been kind to me he thought to himself, sighing. "Alright, follow me for now," he said, pushing his way through the crowd, checking back every so often to check to see if Jacqueline was following him. When they reached outside, he scanned the area of to the distance, and saw a hotel sign that peaked his interest, since it seemed to be in the direction Jacqueline had mentioned.

"Alright, lets head towards that hotel for now. You go on ahead, and I'll meet you there," he ordered. "Well, lets get going. We don't have much time."

Terry put his cold hands in the pockets of his slacks, and started walking in the direction Jacqueline had headed off to. Damn this weather he thought grouchily to himself. Why couldn't they have waited until spring for all of this to happen. God I hate the cold.

He asked people on the way if they had seen anyone who resembled a picture of Scotty he provided for their viewing pleasure. Only one person had seen them, apparently an employee at the hotel he was headed toward who was on a lunch breaking looking to get gifts for his family from the mall he had just left. "Why d'ya wanna know about them?" the employee had asked him. "Well, you see sir, they're a couple of friends of mine, and I've been looking all over for them. We were gonna hang out at that mall, but they kinda took off, and I was kinda third wheelin' it, so they may have forgotten about me being with them." Terry explained, lying rather smoothly. "Dey seem a little young for you ta be hangin' with, but 'aye, I did see him. He had some gurl all ovva him, just like you said, and dey booked a room using a credit card dat wasn't his. Dey definitely had the look of some horny couple looking for a coupla hours on toppa one another. I hope dat was helpful enough for ya." the employee explained, somewhat suspicious, but still willing to give the information that Terry needed. "Thank you sir, you have been a huge help to me," Terry said, filling his voice with as much sincere gratitude as possible, which was rather easy since this man had told him all he needed to know. He was about to walk off towards the hotel again, but the hotel employee stopped him again, and this time he gave him a piece of paper. "Give this to da current guy at da desk, he'll get ya the extra key to der room." Surprised, Terry thanked the man again. "Geez sir, you have been such a great help. Can I get your name at least?" he asked inquisitively. "Da name's Phil Jorgin. And don't think much of it, I've been da third wheel a number of times meself, so I know where ya coming from with this."

Terry thanked the man again, and turned to head off for the hotel yet again, but stopped himself and called out to the man. "Hey Phil, be careful at the mall, I heard it's pretty chaotic over there." After he said that, he turned, and didn't look back.

After a good thirty minutes of walking, he finally reached the hotel and met up with Jacqueline outside of the hotel. "Good to see you again," he greeted her, his warm breath noticible in the air. Weird, that wasn't happening not even a couple of minutes ago. I gotta pay more attention to things I guess. "Alright, I have details on the subject and where he is," he announced to her. "I also have access to a spare key for the hotel room that he's using. We have them where we want them, and now all we need to do is capture them," he added with a big grin on his face.

A shiver rippled down Jacqueline’s spine as she stood outside the door. Reptiles were not built for the cold, and although they didn’t shiver, humans sure did. The cold made her relatively sleepier, too, as with most reptiles. But now was certainly not the time for a nap, it was time for her to wait for Terry. She had waited inside for a bit, but that made her seem more suspicious than was desired.

Terry showed up within the hour, grinning happily that he had managed to get the room key of the target, and that all they had to do now was capture them.

His glee was contagious as Jacqueline gave a small pointed-tooth smile. “Yes, sir,” she said.

Scotty walked out of the shower, steam rolling out of the door behind him. His clothes were dripping wet. He had needed to clean the smell out of them, but had nothing else to change into. It was uncomfortable, but necessary. He had dried off as good as he could, which wasn't very much. And now that the scent was off of him, they could leave faster.

He walked back into the main room, seeing Kat lying asleep on the bed. He knew she needed some rest, but they couldn't risk staying here for long. They would eventually find them. He had to leave before they did, but perhaps he should screw with them.

He took the little piece of hard paper that said "Do not disturb" and folded it in half, so that you could sit in upright on the floor like a triangle. He grabbed a sharpie and wrote, "Haha Govvies" on it. He sat it far enough in front of the door that they would see it when they opened the door.

He then turned to Kat. He grabbed her shoulder and shook lightly. "Hey, we have to go," He said, as he kept trying to wake her up. The escape would be easy. They were on the first floor so they could crawl out of the window without getting hurt. And now that she wasn't obsessed with him, she would be much more able to escape, even if he was caught. Her safety was the important part to him. He'd give anything to make sure she didn't fall into their clutches.

"Alright, so the plan is simple," he announced. "We're gonna waltz into the hotel, go up to the room, and knock on the door. If they don't answer, we knock it down. If they do answer, we tell them to open up so civilians don't get involved. And then we knock it down if they refuse." Terry was definitely pumped now. He had Scotty right where he wanted him, and he didn't intend to lose him again. "Alrighty then, lets get him!" he said, walking into the hotel.

Jacqueline nodded to Terry as they dashed thorough the hallway of the hotel, stopping at Scotty’s door. Suddenly, she heard the sound of footsteps, or rather, felt their vibrations against her feet touching the floor- from the abilities that many lizards have that would normally trigger them to dash away. The footsteps were fast and light on their feet- almost like her own, and heading right towards them.

Taking one step away from the door and Terry, Jacqueline turned to face the sound of the pursuing footsteps down the hall, preparing to take off her gloves.

“Somebody's running towards us. Should I engage them, sir?” she asked Terry.
