Alexis nods.

Alexis: I have a question Aunt Quelly... how well did you get along with Caley?

Jabberwocky Sat Mar 12, 2011 8:27 am

Raquel ponders the question

Raquel:"When your father was with her, me and him didn't exactly get along. Like we really really didn't get along.
By the time me and Ash patched things up, Caley was either out of the picture or had just come back as the vengeful bitch well all know now. So...from the best of my recollection it varied between not acknowledging each others existence to well I'm not sure I'd say hatred but...a disliking. I don't recall getting along with her though. Maybe I just repressed that though heh."

Pockets Sat Mar 12, 2011 8:31 am

Alexis frowns.

Alexis: I wish there was a way to tell if we were being watched. You'd be at a higher risk than we would.

Shawn texts Raquel...

"Hey, hon...everything alright? Haven't heard from you in a while."

Jabberwocky Sat Mar 12, 2011 8:38 am

Raquel:"How do you figure?"

she looks at her phone
"I'm fine now. Brainstorming with Alex and Alexis. Btw, they found out im prgnant"

Cryonix Sat Mar 12, 2011 8:40 am

"Oh...I see. Alright...."

Shawn sends the text message and then sits back in his chair...

Shawn: ....Shit....

Pockets Sat Mar 12, 2011 8:43 am

Alexis: She doesn't really know either of us, I don't think. We're just meant to be kept distracted and out of the way. However, if she wants to get back at you for whatever you might have done to offend her....

Jabberwocky Sat Mar 12, 2011 8:48 am

Raquel texts back
"I couldn't really help having morning sickness in the bushes right infront of them babe.

Raquel:"There is truth to that...however, you are a reminder of Ashley being with, and conceiving a child with somebody other then Caley...It's not outside the realm of possibility that she would want you purged from memory, one way or the other."

Pockets Sat Mar 12, 2011 8:51 am

Alexis: So, we're just waiting for... something?

Cryonix Sat Mar 12, 2011 8:51 am

"Yeah, that would kind of do it, wouldn't it? You feeling alright, hon?"

Jabberwocky Sat Mar 12, 2011 8:55 am

Raquel:"Yeah...something. By the way you ever figure out how that girl got into the house?"

"Yeah I'm feeling fine hun. A bit hormonal, but I'm fine. I love you Shawn"

Pockets Sat Mar 12, 2011 8:57 am

Alexis: She just pushed past Jeeves when he opened the door. He's used to people being far more polite.

Jabberwocky Sat Mar 12, 2011 9:01 am

Raquel:"Ah...weird. I'm sort of dumbfounded to the logic of this part of her plan though...By the way, what did this chick look like?"

Pockets Sat Mar 12, 2011 9:05 am

Alexis: Blonde, maybe a little taller than me, but not much... fairly well endowed. Do you know her?

Jabberwocky Sat Mar 12, 2011 9:09 am

Raquel:"Nothing distinguishing?"

Pockets Sat Mar 12, 2011 9:16 am

Alexis: Tattoos made with a razor on her wrists. She came across as just a little crazy.

Jabberwocky Sat Mar 12, 2011 9:22 am

Raquel's eyes widen

Raquel:"Oh christ...thats...thats how they knew about Amber too..."

she rubs between her eyes and shakes her head

"Oh Lauren what the hell happened to you?"

a look of remorse comes over her

Pockets Sat Mar 12, 2011 12:37 pm

Alexis stares at Raquel.

Alexis: Who is she?

Jabberwocky Sat Mar 12, 2011 1:39 pm

Raquel sighs

Raquel:"You'll probably recognize her last name. Lauren Milkens. She...used to work for me. At first she seemed like a good kid. Full of life and energy. Clients that requested her gave rave reviews regarding her services...That was...until I found out what she was offering...

One day some client told her that he want to see her cut herself. Now, I had told her that if a client asks you to do something unsafe or that you do not want to do, you say no. If they don't respect that and press the issue, you leave. She claimed that she said no but...eventually she gave in. After the cut this sicko wipes the wound and rubbed ink in it.

Then word got out. I guess this guy told some friend of his who was curious. He requested Lauren. Then another guy. Then another. On and on. Not every guy of course wanted her to do that but...enough did. And they never mentioned anything to me. They never said "the girl that cuts"or anything.

I didn't know what was going on. Until she...Well one night she was with a client. He asked what she was willing to do that he might consider "freaky" or something like that. She showed him her wrist and told him. Dude kicks her out of his hotel room and calls me asking me what sort of company I'm running and that im sick for having girls do that and all this stuff. Eventually I calm him down and ask what happened. Needless to say, I was shocked.
The next day I called her in, asked to see her wrist. I asked her why. She said something about it making her feel alive or something. That she loved her growing creation. Turns out the cuts weren't random, she was making a picture. I wasn't sure what it was. Maybe it wasn't done yet. I considered giving her a second chance until I asked her not to do it again and she said she could not promise that. So I fired her. It was...such a shame. For almost a year she was one of the sweetest girls I knew and then...

she sighs

Pockets Sat Mar 12, 2011 4:08 pm

Alexis gives Alex a sidelong glance, remembering the knife.

Alexis: And then?

Jabberwocky Sat Mar 12, 2011 4:50 pm

Raquel:"I saw her at a grocery store maybe...two...three months ago. She said something about being enlightened to the error of her ways. That she had found a calling and a way. Something about saving her father from the fangs of the devil, whatever that meant...She seemed peaceful but in a strange Stepford Wives sort of way, like almost programed or something. Very bizarre..."

Pockets Sat Mar 12, 2011 6:43 pm

Alexis nods.

Alexis: That's kind of how she acted when she left here.

Jabberwocky Sat Mar 12, 2011 6:49 pm

Raquel:"Hmm...So now this church...and Caley more specifically, are using her cutting as a sort of...cog in this crazy scheme she has going?"

Pockets Sat Mar 12, 2011 6:53 pm

Alexis: I guess... although I don't think it's the cutting per se, unless it's being used to control her somehow.

Jabberwocky Sat Mar 12, 2011 7:00 pm

Raquel:"I honestly couldn't say. I never understood it in the first place."
