Alex: Had a feeling it would come in handy.... let me guess.... Colin has to do it in front of the congregation?

Pockets Tue Mar 22, 2011 2:07 pm

Alexis nods, glancing nervously at Amanda.

Alexis: He's managed a compromise, it'll be done in darkness, but it will be done on their ground.

Another nervous glance.

Alexis: Caley wants Micah cremated too... so I guess they're getting a dummy from Jenny. The best thing about it starting here is that it buys some time. They have to go to Ithica, New York.

Cruel Britannia Tue Mar 22, 2011 2:14 pm

Alex nods, and texts the word "Ithaca" to Jenny.

Alex: I took the liberty of calling Jenny.... had a feeling Micah wouldn't get the chance. Everything will be ready.

Pockets Tue Mar 22, 2011 2:22 pm

Alexis nods, texting Colin quickly.
Alex told Jenny already, everything will be set. Go.

As she puts her phone back in her pocket she feels something and pulls out a couple sets of keys and Ashley's wallet. She hands them to Alex.

Alexis: Can you give these back?

Cruel Britannia Tue Mar 22, 2011 2:26 pm

Alex nods and takes the keys and wallet.

Alex: Sure thing.

Pockets Tue Mar 22, 2011 2:33 pm

Alexis smiles at Alex, gratefully.

Alexis: Thank you. Now, time for me to play my part. Don't worry, I'm not going very far.

Cruel Britannia Tue Mar 22, 2011 2:37 pm

Alex takes her hand, and stares at her lovingly with more than a hint of concern.

Alex: Be careful.

Pockets Tue Mar 22, 2011 2:48 pm

Alexis looks back at Alex, just as lovingly.

Alexis: I'll be careful, don't worry. Just because of who I am, I'm sure Caley would rather I disappear anyway. And Naomi is safer out of sight too.

Cruel Britannia Tue Mar 22, 2011 4:02 pm

Alex nods and forces a smile.

Alex: See you soon my love.

Pockets Tue Mar 22, 2011 8:10 pm

With her free hand Alexis touches two fingers to her lips then touches them to Alex's chest, over his heart.

Alexis: It's not like you can't get ahold of me or anything...

She starts to drag Naomi off, then freezes and looks back sheepishly.

Alexis: I think I need to borrow your car....

Cruel Britannia Tue Mar 22, 2011 8:12 pm

Alex smiles and hands his keys to Alexis.

Alex: Don't play with the seats while you're driving.

Pockets Tue Mar 22, 2011 8:19 pm

Alexis smirks.

Alexis: Oh I won't... there are certain things I do not want happening.

Her smirk turns into a smile, and she meets his eyes.

Alexis: Thank you.

She pulls Naomi, arranging her face into a scowl.

Alexis: Come on.

Jabberwocky Tue Mar 22, 2011 8:21 pm

Colin gives Alexis a nod as she leaves with Naomi
He looks over at Alex

Colin:"Jenny give a time frame for her to be ready?"

Cruel Britannia Tue Mar 22, 2011 8:26 pm

Alex: About 10 hours...... the flight from here to New York alone will take 7 and a half even in a private jet.... so there shouldn't be too long to...... wait.

Jabberwocky Tue Mar 22, 2011 8:32 pm

Colin looks at his watch

Colin:"Right...well this isn't going to go down until after the sun goes down so hopefully that buys us sometime...By the way how long does this mixture need to take effect?"

Pockets Tue Mar 22, 2011 8:35 pm

Alexis reaches the car and pushes Naomi in, getting in the other side.

Alexis: This might be awkward for you, where we're going. But trust me, it's one of the safest places we can go, mostly because it's the last place anyone would think to look.

Cryonix Tue Mar 22, 2011 8:37 pm

Naomi: I understand.

They drive off...

Naomi: Alexis....is this....okay? I mean....me and your dad?

Pockets Tue Mar 22, 2011 8:41 pm

Alexis: Dad seems happier than I remember him, pretty much ever.

She looks over at Naomi.

Alexis: That's why I hope you don't take it the wrong way, where we're going. It's nothing against you, trust me.

Cruel Britannia Tue Mar 22, 2011 8:41 pm

Alex: It'll be almost instant as soon as it hits his bloodstream..... It's a powerful paralytic he should just kinda..... go limp. It'll slow down his organ function too..... so they wont be able to feel any heartbeat or breathing.

Cryonix Tue Mar 22, 2011 8:43 pm

Naomi: I'm...really sorry about all this. You know...Caley called your dad at his home to try to...threaten him and me. I didn't want to make any waves or anything...I sure as hell wasn't expecting this.

Pockets Tue Mar 22, 2011 8:53 pm

Alexis: I know it's not your fault. I've heard many stories about the evil Caley. Colin even refuses to think of her as his mother, he's adopted mom instead. You're probably the biggest help with this since you've been on the inside.

She lapses into silence for a while, finally pulling up on the side of the road. She gets out and looks up at the sign.

Alexis: I know it's the wrong side of the family, but it's still family. I think they'll go along with this, although it might spook some of the customers.

The sign reads DeSilva's Pub.

Jabberwocky Tue Mar 22, 2011 8:54 pm

Colin looks over at Micah with an over the top sigh

Colin:"Guess I'm gunna have to move your fat ass by myself once your out..."

he smirks

Cryonix Tue Mar 22, 2011 8:56 pm

Micah: You know....maybe if you did some martial arts once in a while like myself, or your sister....that little beer gut that you have wouldn't be so prominent, Brother...

....which is odd...concidering you don't drink. Alex...ever seen anything like that before?

Naomi: DeSilva's Pub? I don't think I'm familliar with this place? Your last name is O'Ryan, right? Part of the family?

Cruel Britannia Tue Mar 22, 2011 9:03 pm

Alex chuckles.

Alex: Ashley's beer gut actually spans two generations.... incredible.....

Jabberwocky Tue Mar 22, 2011 9:04 pm

Colin:"Psh, I was jumping of buildings, running from cops and whatnot before you found your zen or whatever...Learning parkour and freerunning in Paris, not to mention Muay Thai training in Pattaya..."

he looks at himself with a slight shrug

Colin:"Okay maybe I haven't trained in...a while..."
