Ben: I wish I knew more, myself. I really should call Lauren. Have her check in.

Pockets Mon Apr 25, 2011 11:18 pm

Moira: Is it bad that she ain't called 'erself yet?

Cryonix Mon Apr 25, 2011 11:20 pm

Ben: Hmm...I don't think so. She may be in a unique position...not able to call just yet. I'll give it a little more time.

Pockets Mon Apr 25, 2011 11:22 pm

Moira: Is there anythin' wot we can do now... or jus' wait?

Cryonix Mon Apr 25, 2011 11:27 pm

Ben: The waiting is the hardest part, it would seem. Don't worry, baby. This will get resolved...I promise you.

Almost on cue, Ben's phone rings

Cryonix Mon Apr 25, 2011 11:28 pm

Ben: Ben Cryos....

Jabberwocky Mon Apr 25, 2011 11:35 pm

"Hey Ben, it's Lauren. Look can you do me a favor? Tell everybody you know to stay out of trouble for like one week. Anyways, I got word to give you a call. What intel can you give me?"

Cryonix Mon Apr 25, 2011 11:47 pm

Ben: Yeah....that's not going to happen.

He fills her in...

Pockets Mon Apr 25, 2011 11:51 pm

Moira tries to get Ben's attention.

Moira: Does the name Lilith ring a bell...? That's who I was talkin' to.

Cryonix Mon Apr 25, 2011 11:52 pm

Ben: The name...Lillith...mean anything?

Jabberwocky Mon Apr 25, 2011 11:57 pm

Lauren:"Lucian Noire? And Lilith? Hmm. Hang on...."

A few minutes later she returns to the phone

Lauren:"Well this is strange. The man has only been around for, from what I can tell, fifteen years. There is literally nothing on him before that. He's a phantom. But...he's made quite the good name for himself. He's a major philanthropist, but avoids media attention like its the plague. Never makes public appearances except with people he feels close to.

Now Lilith...She's Noire's public figure. She goes to the events. Represents him. She's his buffer. Well...one of them."

I'll keep looking into it. Theres bound to be something. Don't worry Ben, we'll find them."

Cryonix Wed Apr 27, 2011 11:28 am

Ben relays the information to Moira...

Ben: Ah...so she's the liason. The actual power in the company...hmmm...

Jabberwocky Wed Apr 27, 2011 12:23 pm

Lauren:"Visually yes. She is Noire's right hand woman. Basically a general, in a business sense."

Pockets Wed Apr 27, 2011 6:38 pm

Moira looks at Ben, darkly.

Moira: I loikly should call Ashley, shouldn't I? An' Frank... I really 'ate to do it without knowin' somethin' 'elpful... but they really shouldn't be left in the dark either.... I can't imagine wot Frank would do, findin' out 'is daughter is up an' vanished, an' us really knowin' nothin'....

***************

The mansion in Tampa is done up stunningly. Ben and Moira are dressed to the nines as is most of Ben's clients. The drinks are flowing from the open bar and the appetizers are fantastic. Ben holds Moira close in a private moment...

Ben: You know....I can't wait till all these people leave, hon...

Pockets Mon Jul 25, 2011 3:54 pm

Moira: Neither can I... every bloody one of them look at mey funny every time I open my mouth.

Cryonix Mon Jul 25, 2011 4:00 pm

Ben: Oh, don't worry about that. Most of them are jealous that you're wearing my ring....that's all.

Pockets Mon Jul 25, 2011 4:03 pm

Moira: Meanin' most of them are jealous they can't get your money... an' I don't even bloody care about that!

Outside, Cynthia looks nervously up at the mansion, then glances over at Frank.

Cynthia: I hope you're right about this....

Jabberwocky Mon Jul 25, 2011 4:06 pm

Frank:"Don't worry, Ben and Moira aren't like all these other rich folk. They're level headed ...for the most part."
he smirks

Pockets Mon Jul 25, 2011 4:07 pm

Cynthia smirks back.

Cynthia: So, I'm not the only crazy one....

Cryonix Mon Jul 25, 2011 4:07 pm

Ben: ...and that's why I love you, hon.

He kisses Moira when his butler approaches...

Butler: Sir....more guests are arriving...

Ben: Time to go be charming...

Pockets Mon Jul 25, 2011 4:09 pm

Moira puts on an overly big, fake smile.

Jabberwocky Mon Jul 25, 2011 4:13 pm

Frank:"Naw, you're in good company. I'll make sure if things start going so need to get out Moira will get you out of there. Okay?"
he cuts the engine to the car, a rental Ford Fusion. He smirks a bit as he looks around at the parking lot and at all the high end luxury cars
Frank:"Heh guess we stick out a bit...Alright lets go."

Pockets Mon Jul 25, 2011 4:17 pm

Cynthia: Well, if we want to make a quick escape, the car will be easy to find....

She gets out of the car, and visibly steels herself before walking to the door.
