Welcome to Gaia! ::

Aideen pouted and tears began to form in her eyes. She just couldn't answer the question. She opened her mouth to speek, only a whimper came out in it's place. Aideen hid her face in Theonin's chest.

"Aw..." Theonin frowned and rocked side to side. "Well... I read your file. Everyone involved with the family has a file. And I read your's and Rachel's..." He watched Aideen as Christy spoke. "She doesn't like Barbie..." he smiles proudly. "She doesn't need a sleeping bag either... Heh... I'll just make a pallet on the floor for myself so she can have the bed."

Theonin looked to Christy and gave a soft nod. "I won't go back. If I go back I risk being tailed. I promise." he smiled softly. He reached over with a hand, supporting Aideen on his arm. He softly touched Christy on the cheek to reassure her.

Lynn nodded and frowned, sympathetic towards Aideen. She knew the feeling. She knew it so well it was actually frightening to think about. Looking at both Theonin and Christy, she raised a question to them, "Can I..." her voice cracked a bit from tears and she cleared her throat, refusing to give in, "Can I get any of you something to drink before you leave? Perhaps you would all like to come inside and sit down for a bit?"

Christy smiled. She didn't mind.
"I don't mind really, but if we stay too long, I think you'll be carrying me home, too." she said, in such a whisper, as not to wake Aideen up. She was almost as tired as the little girl, after everything that had happened today.
"I don't want anything, thanks." she said, she didn't want to trouble Lynn.

Rachel spotted Rhys and quickly moved out of sight. "He wants to be alone, then I will let him think he is." She loved this part of her job, the spying. One thing she used to play as a child, pretend to be a spy. She smiled at the memory, only back then she added in her own little music making herself look like a fool as she darted from behind the couch to under a table while humming somthing copied from t.v.

"Easy" Rhys thinks. Monty may be able to kick anyone's a**, but asking her to run a maze and not get lost is like telling a cat not to eat mice. It won't happen. He looks down Main Street, the traffic cops had left but he figures it still will be safer the walk and not grab a taxi. Beside, where he was going wasn't that far away. He cringes a little as he starts waking again, but ignores the pain that caused the reaction. He just takes another painkiller instead.

After about 15 minutes he gets onto narrow road and walks cautiously, most of the people around here work for the Corinthian family. This was dangerous ground to be walking, especially for an unarmed man from a rival family during dusk. For some reason though, Rhys was never scarred when he came here.

Suddenly a girl walks up to Rhys, she was wearing a mini skirt and a white halter-top. Her skin was dark and milky; she looks like she could be from Brazil. She walks next to Rhys who doesn't stop.

"Rhys right?" She asks in a soft voice. "Si usted me desea, soy barato." She offer's herself to him in Spanish.

"Si usted desea morir, p�dame eso otra vez." Rhys answers in the same language. If you want to die, ask me that again. Rhys hates prostitutes. He knows he shouldn't, most of them are not doing it by choice. The girl backs off and Rhys continues until he gets to what looks like a dead end. He turns to his right; there was a door there with no marks except a small neon sign in the shape of a scorpion. He opens the door and walks in. The place was filled with smoke and you could also smell hints of weed in the air. It was dark; the only true light was over the bar and on a caged stage. There is a girl on the staged about mid-twenty with long black hair and fair skin. She was bare except for a thin white thong; she had just finished her dance and was leaving the stage. Rhys was glad he missed it. Rhys goes to the bar and sits. The bartender, a man about thirty years of age with long black hair in deadlocks, looks down at Rhys and smiles a little.

"You can't let me go? That's the only thing I don't like about you. You think whatever you want is what will happen. Have you not yet learned that it isn't how it works? You have to fight to get something." He pushes he out of his way and continues walking.

"You shouldn't been in a place like this, and you can't help me with where I'm going. You're a girl and a lot of people know you work for Mathue. It isn't safe." He didn't know how she got there, but he wasn't surprised. He wasn't going to have her be in any more danger though. This was his mess up, he had to fix it, no one else. Calista had already gotten shot because of him.
