He sighed, smiling. "Thats what I love about you. You can always make me smile, even in dark times."

She sighed, deciding to ignore that love thing and sat up. "It's what friends are for. Remember that."

He sat up too. "I will." He stood up and looked around. "You know, I never once thought that I would be the one needing the advice. I was always the one everyone came to for help. Guess that shows that the best of us needs help every once in awhile."

"Damn straight." She said, crossing her arms over her chest with a smirk.

"Come on, we still have to take care of Tyler's body. I am going to need your help." He offered his hand to her.

"Luck getting him from Lily." She said, standing on her own and brushing herself off.

"I will handle that, just meet me in the graveyard, and bring stuff to cremate the body." Edward gave her another weak smile, and left to go retrieve the body.

Zai watched the last part of their conversation from a support beam up high in one of the corners. "Interesting.... how sad." She lowered herself down, and made her way to one of the hallways, and followed up a set of old stairs into the attic of the building. Once there, she went in a door and looked around at the empty space. "Lovely. With some clean up and power, this would be perfect, yet so sad..." She talked outloud with her random thoughts. "Can't believe I couldn't pay my rent on time..." Zai continued on, looking at all the rooms connected to that one. "Buisness was doing great till just a few months ago..." Finally, she stopped and rested on an old table that was left behind. "Like this place, just might stay..."

After a few hours of looking around, Zai left and returned the next day with several plastic containers. After making her way up to the room she found the day before, she placed everything on the table. About two hours later, she had brought most her stuff inside and decided to start to clean the place. After dusting, she used a chemical mix to kill any bacteria or mold that had been there. Finally, she finished scrubbing everything down. "There. Will have to sleep somewhere else tonight... call someone out to look at the pipes and wires later..." Zai sat down on the clean floor, pulled out an mp3 player and began listening to Emilie Autumn's song, I Know Where You Sleep.

Zai sat there thinking, then picked up a book. "Oh the wonders of castor beans..." Her eyes lit up a little as she read aloud, turning off her mp3 player, "The castor bean plant, Ricinus communis, contains two toxins that are poisonous to people, animals, and insects. The main toxic protein, ricin, is so potent that a single milligram may be sufficient to kill a human adult. Ricin is considered both a chemical and biological weapon and is explicitly prohibited by the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention and Schedule 1 of the Chemical Weapons Convention...."

"Ricin works its harm by destroying small parts of cells, called ribosomes. Ribosomes produce all of the proteins needed by a cell. If the proteins cannot be produced, the cell dies. Although the effects of ricin ingestion may be felt within a few hours (abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting), it is a slow-acting poison, with death occurring after 1-3 days. A victim who survives the severe dehydration and lowered blood pressure of advanced ricin poisoning will generally recover." Zai paused, and pulled out a highlighter, marking the things that interested her more. This took a few moments, then she continued.

After reading silently for most of the rest of it, she read aloud, "Dehydration and vomiting are more dangerous for children than adults, so ingestion of a single castor bean seed may be fatal for a child. However, if the seed is ingested whole, there is a chance that it may pass through the gastrointestinal system without releasing its ricin..." After about 10 more min, she finished reading. Zai sat there, looking up at the old cealing fan that didn't work. "....I need to get some power before I can move into this place... and maybe some more money to replace what I couldn't grab when the stupid law enfocement came..... of course he had to kick me out, or he would of been... wonder if I got everything.... heh, would be funny if he was in prision..." Zai talked aloud again, not careing that if anyone could hear her, even if they would think she was mad.

Rachel let out a sigh as she entered the abandoned factory. She had only been passing by but then she decided to stopped and take a look in the place. After taking a few steps into the factory she stopped and looked around her. "I wonder why it's still abandoned after all these years?" She said to herself, not bothering to whisper. Rachel was completely unaware of someone else being there.

Zai heard her, and walked out onto the catwalk above. "hmm..." She said quietly, watching her.
