((*chuckles* Okay... but it's locked... ^^" *posts here anyways*))

Niki made sure that Alaqua climbed into the back and was buckled in before getting in herself, sticking the key in and starting up the engine. That ever annoying ding, ding, ding started up again until Niki buckled herself in. She shifted the vechile into drive and checked the road for traffic before pulling out onto it and heading for the next store.

Alan slipped out of the car in a rather hurried mannor as Niki parked in the newest conveniance store. At first he had only been going to call a tow truck.. But when he realized that he hadn't checked this one for Talia he lost all thoughts of a tow truck and was yanking a familiar paper out of his pocket.

He hurried in, catching the casheer's attention with the ding. "Have you seen this girl?" he spoke to the casheer as soon as he had gotten eye contact, then moved over to show him the picture.

The casheers eyes widened, no mistaking such a child. "Y-Yes, she was here several hours ago-- Should I call the police?" His first assumtion was correct, she'd been kidnapped.

"No." Alan snapped, startling the casheer. " I mean.. No... My wife and I were playing a game, I have to find her and our child and get the prize." He lied his a** off, but rather well, giving a small smile. "It's our anniversary." he swallowed hard at that last bit... it seemed all lies were based on a bit of truth.

The casheer seemed releived that he wasn't about to get robbed, giving a nod and smiling "OH I see, well, their van went that way." He pointed "Towards the city."

"Thankyou." Alan managed an all too cheerful tone, waving and hurring out as the casheer tried to offer him a slushie.

Ala started whining after Alan got out about wanting a soda. She was thirsty, so very thirsty. Niki sighed and got out, getting into the store about the time the cashier said he'd seen Talia. The woman raised an eyebrow at the boss' explination, but apparently he didn't want to contact the local authorities.

The soda forgotten, Niki headed out right behind Alan, ignoring the confused cashier. "Want another lift?" She pointed in the direction the cashier had pointed. It would take forever for a tow truck to arrive and she would feel bad leaving the man here when he'd just finally gotten a tip about his daughter's location.

"Yes, please." Alan rubbed his temple, before letting himself back in the jeep. He sat quietly, as she got Ala back in, started the car, and headed down the road. Untl he finally let out a sigh, "I can't thank you enough." He didn't exactly seem pleased about this fact, but it was true none the less. He just wasn't the type to depend on people... He probably had as many people under his control as Gambino himself, a legion of dragons, and yet here he was picking rides from another parent because his car broke down.

Niki glanced over at the man as she drove down the road into town. "It's not a problem." If she didn't think that Alan wasn't a touchy-feely person, the woman would probably reach over to gently pat him on the shoulder. As it was, she kept both hands on the wheel, glad that Alaqua wasn't fussing about not getting her soda.

"Do you think they'll stop somewhere else along the way?" If whoever had taken Talia wouldn't stop again, there'd be no point in Niki and Alan stopping anywhere. Though, without any more hints, they would be hunting for a needle in a haystack...
