  __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ - Camelia 'Cam' Grey & Alice 'Madame Mia' Ladd- __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ "See, lazy" pointed out Cam at that little comment. "Better prove my worth then." The young woman moved over to the stair-entrance way to greet their customers. A soft smile graced her lips, enhancing that girl next door look that Vlad was admiring. "Welcome to the Tepes Bistro, please have a seat and I'll be right with you for your order." The greeting was more general, but she wasn't going to seat anyone."Hello" greeted back the mistress, taking a few steps into the store. "Thank you Dante." She had gotten a little distracted there, later nodding at the Frenchman and following him upstairs. "But of course Pip" she answered with a smile as they moved to the Bistro. The woman nodded at the other before choosing a table. "Nice upgrade."

"Hey no sass talk missy.. or ill have to punish you somehow." Vlad grinned as he watched Cam. Calling him Lazy.. she wouldnt think that once he got her into his bed. Well maybe about his work ethic still but he preferred to think of it as taking things easy rather than being lazy. Vlad finished the drink and set it on a small tray. He'd have to wait for the two to come up here before Cam could give it to the male. Hey he wasnt going to do it. She was right there and exactly why he hired her.
When Pip and Alice came up to the Bistro, Vlad abandoned the Irish coffee and went to greet them. "Hello you two. You like the new place?" Vlad said as he turned his hazel gaze on Alice. "Love the hair Madame." Vlad said with a wolf's grin. "Hansel helped with the.. funds. I designed the place... with Dante's help of course. You should come see our apartment its absolutely divine.. like yourself. " Vlad said to Alice in a purr as he took her hand and gently kissed the back of it.
___
Pip pulled out Alice's chair for her and let her sit first before he took a seat across from her. He nodded in agreement with her, until Vlad came over to drool over Alice. Pip instantly glared at Vlad, when he started kissing Alice's hand and shot out his leg to kick Vlad in his shin. "Stop eet you 'ound." Pip said defensively. "If she wanted you she would 'ave 'ad you already." Pip retorted. "Dont you 'ave a menu or somet'ing?" Pip asked changing the subject.
Vlad let out a low growl as he was kicked. He released Alice's hand and glared at Pip. He left the two alone only to grab two menus from the checkout counter top. He came back only to gently hand Alice her's and then lazily give Pip his.
"You dont 'ave to be a two year old about eet either." Pip added as Vlad walked away.

 _____________Aniela lit up when he agreed to have lunch with her. Her lips curled into a smile that showed her pearly whites and all their glory. So we made out way over to the stairs after the gentleman had made his way up and Robert followed behind her. Once up top, she saw new employee seating a couple all ready. Before the girl had come back to the podium to tell them to seat themselves, Robert had gone ahead and chose a table. She followed him over and watched him pull out a chair for her.
"Thank you," she said as she sat down in the chair and was tucked in.
He came around and seated himself in front of her for a more direct view for attention and smiled at her. She liked it when he smiled to her, because he didn't seem like the type of guy who smiled often. Which could mean he's just being nice to a customer to make business or he genuinely enjoys her presence.
"Though I don't know much at all about your investigative business, I feel that it is safe to tell you. When I moved here, I knew that something from home would follow me. I received a letter recently about two males that will be arriving at my residence soon. One is to wed me, the other is his younger brother. . They have terrible histories but haven't been arrested or any foul records of them because their father is a very powerful man. I am worried about my well being. . The fiance is a violent one towards women and sadly his brother has followed his footsteps. I'm afraid that the crime rate will spike in a matter of days or weeks." She paused and looked down at her empty plate on the table. "I don't think my parents really agreed to this wedding. . I have a terrible feeling that they were forced. Or worse."

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ - Camelia 'Cam' Grey & Alice 'Madame Mia' Ladd- __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 'Bite me'. With a roll of the eyes, Camelia went to the counter to pick up the tray and a pair of menus, now heading back to the other customers. Well Vlad was taking care of the other two, even if the blond was swatting him away. "Here you go sir" smiled the girl placing the Irish coffee for the detective and handing each a menu. "My name is Camelia and I'll be your waitress.""Hello there Vladimir. Actually I do-" That was as far as Alice got, between Vlad's words, and Pip's... territorial reaction. When Vlad left she kept an amused smile to her. "Well... I see you can defend a lady" she commented, happy, mainly because he was the bouncer, and she found it kind of sweet, the fact that he'd get all riled up. She was taking a seat just as Vlad returned, chuckling as they continued. "Now Pip. You're having the outing with me. I think you won." He had been right before, if she had wanted Vlad he would've gone for him. But she didn't, had she?

"Oui." Pip said with a light blush as he looked over the menu. The bistro had many sandwiches and soups, breakfast items and some small dinners. But nothing too complicated. He ended up deciding on a sandwich and soup for himself. "Do you want any wine Mademoiselle?" Pip asked as he looked up from the menu and to Alice.
__
Meanwhile Vlad left to go downstairs to man the store, while he shoved Dante back up the stairs to go help the new girl out. If Vald couldnt flirt with the costumers then he didnt want to play waiter.
-Vlads now downstairs in the store-
_
Dante came up a bit flustered why did he have to help out up here?! Dante sighed and shook his head. He went over to where Pip and Alice where. Seeing that the new girl had the other two costumers. "Hi again. Can i take your order? I dont want to overwhelm the new girl." Dante said as he pointed to Cam.

I smiled at the waitress who had brought me some Coffee... I didn't remember ordering cofffe, but I smiled nevertheless. Perhaps it was the store clerk who had told her that I wanted some. I took a sip out of it, tasting the hint of alcohol. Oh, it was that kind of coffee. Perfect. Exactly what I needed. "Thank you Camelia." I opened the menue, looking through it, without really paying attention. I would probably just settle on a random item and take it, wishing there wasn't any eggs in it. I hate eggs. Chicken Foetus.
I kept listen to Anelia's story. I didn't really see what she wanted me to do. Find a way to arrest them? Well, on this island, it was easier than she woudl have believe. I took out my note pad and a pen, both items I always had with me, like a flashlight, and scribbled a phone number. I passed it to her. "Here. If they try to arm you in any way, just call there. They will be arrested right away. Trust me on that." It was Romane's number. Of course they would be arrested. The woman would arrested them for only thinking they couldn't be arrested. She was a bit crazy, but came useful in situations like this. "If there's anything specific you want me to do..."

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ - Camelia 'Cam' Grey & Alice 'Madame Mia' Ladd- __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ "Your welcome sir" replied the girl, letting him go back to his conversation. She glanced at Dante, raising an eyebrow. She glanced at Vlad as he left and looked back at the other twin. "Roped you in?" Made sense, the other one was... lazy.Alice smiled softly at the Frenchman before looking at her own menu. What to get? She didn't feel like something heavy, so she settled on a soup for the night. "Wine would be lovely" replied the mistress with a small nod. What was a night out without a glass of wine after all? ...Or two... or three?

 He stepped into the store with confidence in his stride. His appearance screamed money but his scowl told a different story. He walked over to one isle and picked up a box and read its label, not really paying attention to it but distracting himself. He then saw a gentleman come from upstairs. It reminded him that there were three levels to this place. There must be something else up there, might as well check it out. He gave a nod to the man as he headed towards the stairs. At the bottom was a sign that noted a restaurant named Bistro was up there. His feet began ascending the stairs until he finally came upon an entrance. This place was garbage compared to his usual dining places in Italy. He wondered if the food was garbage too. He waited at the podium to be seated as he scanned the area. Damarko's blue eyes caught the sight of white and it drew his attention. A sly grin spread across his face. He decided not to interrupt the young woman's date and would study her from afar. _____________When she stopped their waitress had come over to give the investigator his coffee that he didn't order. She wondered if he was a usual customer there and that could be why they knew what to get him off the bat. The waitress made her introduction and then waited.
"Could I please get a glass of sweetened tea. You do have this available, right? If not that's fine. I will take water then."
The woman looked a little nervous, and was most likely the new employee that had been brought up in conversation with the man downstairs that was now tending to a couple at a different table. She watched the investigator take out a pen and pad and wrote away something, only to find it was a number. Aniela automatically assumed that it was his office number or something along those lines. She took the paper happily.
"Specifically, I was hoping to see if there was any way to find out if this agreement was illegally made, also-" she trailed off as her eyes were distracted by a tall man at the entrance, waiting to be seated.
Her heart thumped in her rib cage, not expecting to see him so soon. She wondered how he knew she was there. It could not have been a coincidence. Her bottom lip trembled slightly but she quickly pulled herself together. He wouldn't dare do anything in public, especially with an investigator in front of her. But how would he know that? Aniela looked up at Camelia and then at Robert trying to keep her calm. She wanted to run home and lock herself in her room. Pray that he would never reach her. . Just seeing that smug look on his face made her terrified.

Vlad watched as a male went past him to head upstairs. That appearance.. but that scowl.. hm.. something seemed off on him. Sexy dark locks or not.. it was like Walter.. always hiding something.. that was until Dante pried it out of the Brit one drunken night.
Though he would have followed the male upstairs to see what he was doing.. someone had to man the store downstairs. So he took a seat on the cash register counter and waited for someone to come in who didnt want the Bistro. -still downstairs-
____
"Yeah." Dante said as he looked over his shoulder at Cam. He smiled lightly before taking out a little pad and pen to write down Alice and Pips order. "Alright wine to drink and to eat?" Dante said, he wrote down Alice's order and then Pip's. "Ill be right back with the wine." Dante said cheerfully as he left the two.
"Oh Hello. Ah take a seat where you like. One of us will be with you shortly." Dante said with a smile to the new male. Blue eyes and dark hair.. and he wasnt stuck talking to Vlad downstairs? Interesting.
Dante continued on his way and grabbed some wine from the small kitchen they had. He handed the NPC cook his orders and came back out with the wine in a bucket of ice, and two wine glasses.
Crossing back over to where Pip and Alice where he set the Wine in the middle of the table off to the side, and set the glasses down for both of them. He grabbed the wine from its cold embrace and popped the cork without too much trouble. He then poured Alice a glass before he did Pip's. "Food should be ready soon. I hope you two enjoy." Dante said gently. He then took the Menu's from Alice and Pip and looked to where the new male had taken a seat.
______
"Merci Dante. So Mademoiselle." Pip asked after he had taken a sniff and a sip of the wine. It was pretty good a simple rose colored wine. It could go with any dish really. Sweet and dry too. "Are we 'eading back to t'e 'ouse after t'is? Or do you 'ave somet'ing else in mind?" Pip asked gently a hint of flirtaceousness coming into his tone.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ - Alice 'Madame Mia' Ladd- __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ "Thank you Dante" smiled the mistress as the man did his job, bringing them wine and taking away the menu's. She took the glass, bringing it to her lips and tasting the drink. Perfect~ "I don't think so. Walter did practically kick us out" said the woman with a chuckle. "Which means the House and heading to my room is out... Any thoughts?" she asked, returning that flirtatious tone. This was technically an outing/date, third one to be exact. Or maybe more... who really kept track with these two anyways?

"Oui t'at 'e did." Pip said with a smile catching Alice's tone. Alright so she wanted to spend some alone time with him. That was good, no that was great! But where could they go? If not the house or her room.. hm.. "We could spend some time at my 'ouse. Just baracade oursevles in my room." Pip said with a light laugh. Yeah and have Integra and Jan on the other side of the door listening intently. "No eet should be alright. T'ey might even be out for t'e night." Pip added, half finishing a thought he had. "'ow does t'at sound Mademoiselle? Eets not romantic exactly. But eet is someplace we can 'ead to." Pip suggested gently.

I offered her a warm understanding smile before taking a sip of my spiked coffee. I should remember to tip the waitress.... good looking waitress too. Wouldn't I be with a nice looking client and tired, I would have spent more time with her, but in my current situation? No, no. I couldn't not afford that. Work and personal life had to be separated. Just the same reason why me and Celest could never be together... well, other than the normal one night stand at the end of case, right before I killed her... perhaps it would be better if that never happened....
I was daydreaming. Blame the lack of sleep. I took one more sip of my coffee before returning my attention on the beautiful girl in front of me. Something had to be done. "Now, if you seem like what you really need is a lawyer, but I'll see what I can do about it." I examined her once more. She was still very stressed. Could it be that she feared for her life? "Miss... is something wrong? You know.... if you dont feel safe at your home, there's other places you can hide in the meanwhile."Like the zombie-proof rooms at the inn, the bunker in the forest, or my bed.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ - Alice 'Madame Mia' Ladd- __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ "Well it is only fair. You've been in my room anyways" teased the woman with a smile. In a way it was true... tho her home was practically one of those studio apartment things, so everything was together. Now some time together sounded good... "I do like the sound of that really." With that she took another drink of her wine, almost finishing her first glass.

He watched with amused eyes as a gentleman headed over to him and asked him to seat himself where he liked. This was definitely different than home.
"Thank you."
Damarko seated himself at an empty table farthest from Aniela. He watched the expression on her face as she realize he was there. Damarko bit his lower lip to keep himself from laughing with his tenor voice, it would easily be heard. The guy with his fiance had turned in his chair and made slight eye contact with him. She must have told him already. . Question was, what had she told the man with her? He leaned back in his chair and his legs opened. His left hand ran through his silk like hair and then rested along the back of the chair. With his other hand, he toyed with the wrapped silverware while glancing every now and then at Aniela. _____________When she heard that he would help her out with what he could, she was very grateful but her nerves were to wracked that she couldn't even bring a smile.
"Thank you. You will be rewarded handsomely. . if. . "
She seemed to be distracted again as Aniela watched Damarko seat himself far away from them. She knew he was watching her. She could feel his eyes on her. She quickly grabbed her attention back to Robert to finish her sentence. He had already spoken out asking if she were okay, obviously noting she was on edge.
"I. . Yes, I'm fine. Just a little flashback that bothered me. . I don't know where it came from."
She was lying. There should have been no reason to lie but she knew what would happen if she said too much and her enemy is sleeping in her own home. Aniela took out her small concealed wallet that seemed to have come out of nowhere and placed it on the table.
"Here. . I have to go to the bathroom."
As she said this, her eye flashed from Damarko's direction and then to Robert again, as if he could understand her strange ways. She stood up and left the table to head in the back hall that should have lead her to the bathrooms.

Dante located the dark haire male and with a gentle smile came up to him and handed him one of the menu's for the Bistro. "Welcome to the Tepes Bistro. My names Dante. Can i get you anything to drink?" Dante asked gently.
Dante paused momentarily as he watched Damarko watch the white haired girl even as she went to the bathroom. Which the restrooms where clearly marked. Near the stairs in fact. He wondered if he knew her, but shook it off gently and went back to paying attention the man.
_
"Oh? Do you? Should we take t'e wine wit'?" Pip asked with a smile. "My treat, oui and i will get dinner. I 'ave a feeling you 'avent 'ad any man treat you right, no? I t'ink i need to pamper you, Mademoiselle and show you what eet is to be taken care of." Pip said as he leaned forward and slipped his hands over Alice's, he took her hand in his and started giving her hand a nice little massage.
"We could throw on a bit of music.. or maybe a movie? 'ave a bit of wine.. enjoy eachot'er's company and take eet from t'ere?" Pip said in a flirtaceous tone, but his last statement had a bit of a question to it. It was all up to her and if she wanted to do such things. Though he doubted she would say no. Not after her little flirts tonight.
