"Hey, Lita?" he called, when Lita was nowhere to be found. "Where'd she go?" he muttered to himself. "Who's Lita?" Maria said from behind him. Alex turned with a gasp. He hadn't heard her come in. "Nobody. And who told you you could come in?" he snapped. "You're talking like she's somebody," Maria said, choosing to ignore the latter half of his statement. "It's none of your business," Alex pushed past Maria, going back to the kitchen. He grabbed his car keys off the hook on the door frame. "Where are you going?" Maria asked, following him. "Out," he locked the door behind them and got in his car, starting it and backing out of the driveway before Maria could get in the passenger side.

Lita had actually already covered a decent distance on foot. She had a good amount of stamina for a young woman, and might even make it to the city before Alex did in his car. Her eyes moved to the skies as a flock of bird flew overhead. A frown came to her face as she lowered her head again. A flock of birds seemed commonplace, but not for her. She wasn't safe no matter where she was, not from them. She quickened her pace and almost appeared to e jogging down the side of the street now, her adrenaline was pumping. For a moment she could have sworn she heard someone following beind her. Stopping a moment she looked actually freightened for a moment, what was going on? Her senses were on high alret as if she were in danger, but from what? Falling to her knees a moment she held her head as she tried to calm herself from the small panic attack she was having. Why was she panicking? A few cars drove by, but none bothered to stop. Such hopsitality humans had now adays.

Alex was nearly downtown before he saw a familiar black-clad figure on the side of the road. He pulled close to the sidewalk and rolled down the window. "Lita," he called, "get in!" he unlocked the doors and stopped the car, leaning over to open one for her.

Lita snapped out of it some when Alex's voice broke her thoughts. Shaking some she climbed into the car and slumped down some, "I thought I said we should not be seen together in public. I do not wish harm to you" she untied her hair as it fell into her face. She glanced sideways at him through her hair a moment then stared out the window, "I do not know why I was having a panic attack...that cannot be good" she frowned again and fell silent as she let him drive.

"Don't worry about it, it happens," Alex said, referring to her panic attack. He chose to ignore the part about them being seen in public together being potentially harmful. "But now that we're out, we may as well do some shopping, yeah?" he glanced at her with a small smile. She wasn't armed, that made it a little easier to talk to her.

Lita turned now to glance at him, and for a moment she was simply speechless. However, a smile soon came to her lips, "you are a very interesting person, Alex" she said with a chuckle, "do you worry when I have weapons on me? Then again most people would...I do not have any money though, and it did not seem like you had much to spare" she added as the city soon loomed into view as they passed through larger buildings. Now they were heading down what seemed like a main drag of buildings of every sort. They headed toward the shopping section of the city. The hustle and bustle of the area seemed a bit more easing for Lita, but at the same time she still was tense. her eys scanned the faces of every individual she passed carefully, and she was a bit tense still. once they'd parked she got out of the car, "should we meet somewhere? she asked.

"I worry when you have weapons because you seem to have the disposition to stab first and not even realize you've done so. And don't worry about money, it may not look like it, but I have more than enough," at that, a wry smile twinged his lips. "And I'm not so sure it's a great idea to split up, unless you want to." He started walking down toward the large department store that had just been built. Women liked department stores, right?

Lita was more and more surprised by Alex as the short time passed by. She'd never had a friend or companion, just comrades. That was different. This..was this what friendship was? She seemed to daze a moment but then followed after Alex. Soon she found herself in a large department store with many lines of clothing and such inside. She simply stood there and looked around as if this were some foreign planet. Women hustled and bustled around chattering mindlessly. A few girls passed between Alex and Lita, sort of pushing Lita out of the way as they glanced at Alex and smiled turnign and giggling after wards. Lita blinked and looked back at them. That was rude. Recomposing herself she sighed some, "clothes...right...must we stay here long?" she said and began to search for a place to find common clothes.

"God I hope not," Alex muttered, looking down, away form the gaggle of girls. His head snapped back up a he realized what he just said, eyes going wide. "I didn't mean that!" he said quickly. "Take as long as you need Lita, no worries."

Lita actually burst into a light bit of laughter, "you are a nervous man, Alex" she said and headed into a random store. After a bit she'd picked out a few things. A couple shirts, some pants and skirts, and one or two pairs of shoes. Once they were purchased she was prepared to leave. Her latest purchase was a simple black tanktop with flexable blue jeans and a comfortable pair of tennis shoes. She was currently wearing that and carrying the rest in bags. As they were heading out she stopped a moment as she thought she saw a suspicious man in a dark suit looking around carefully as if observing for someone. She quickly turned and walked the other way, almost plowing Alex over.

Alex dodged out of the way, but just barely. "Jesus, Lita," he muttered, under his breath. "Did you forget something?" he asked, louder, so she could hear him, as he rushed after her.

Lita didn't respond right away, but instead quickly made her way to a place where they would be slightly hidden from view. Setting the bags down, she ducked behind the large statue they were behind and sighed, "s**t!...how did they find this location so fast..." she muttered and began to speak in some unknown language quickly. Looking around she tried to devise a way to get out without being possibly seen. Perhaps it was nothing, but one could never be too sure. They had moles in almost any place possible. Sighing she straightened and grabbed the bags, "come on let us get out of here" she said. Luckily she'd bought some sunglasses and so she put them on and hurried forward to escape.

"Oh...okay," Alex wanted to ask what she was talking about, but he figured there would be time for that later. At the moment, she was heading toward the car and he was having trouble keeping up. "Do you still want to stop at the grocery store?" he asked once they got to the car and he unlocked it.

"where is it located? No never mind, sure. Let us go, please, go. Quickly" she said getting her things into the car and then entering herself. They passed by the man she'd seen inside as she locked eyes with him. He didn't seem a threat, but she couldn't be sure. She fell silent and stared out the window as they headed toward the grocery store, "so, who was the person at the door before we left?" she asked him finally as suddenly there was a ringing noise in the car.

Alex jumped and looked around for the source of the ringing. "Could you find that?" he asked Lita. He didn't remember bringing his phone with him but...he might have. Whatever. Wouldn't be the first time something he had something he thought he didn't. Or didn't have something he through he had. Whichever. Lita found the phone in the glove compartment and handed it to him. He looked at it, completely confused. "That's not mine," he said.
