Pockets Sun Apr 24, 2011 8:55 am

Alexis mouths "told you" and leans in to try and catch the other end of the conversation.

Moira: I ain't even sure wot all 'appened. Durin' that year 'e was gone wanderin' Colin got 'imself mixed up in some shite with some bloke named Noire. This guy 'as got 'imself a 'uge business... an' underworld ties.

Cruel Britannia Sun Apr 24, 2011 8:57 am

Alex: And you have no idea where Colin or Amber are?

Pockets Sun Apr 24, 2011 9:09 am

Moira: None... I was talkin' to Colin when it 'appened... an' this is roit after some of Noire's goons show up 'ere askin' a bunch of shite.

Cruel Britannia Sun Apr 24, 2011 9:11 am

Alex sighs.

Alex: Any idea what the next step is?

Pockets Sun Apr 24, 2011 9:19 am

Moira: Not at all. They actually left a business card, so I called the place expectin' to find out somethin'. Couldn't get Noire, an' 'is assistant got real evasive an' started talkin' loik I 'ad one of their products an' it blew up. I don't even bloody know wot they make.

Cruel Britannia Sun Apr 24, 2011 9:28 am

Alex: I see..... if you hear anything else let me know.... I'll give you a call if me or Lexi think of anything.

Pockets Sun Apr 24, 2011 9:40 am

Moira: Yeah, thanks... 'ey tell Alexis I love 'er... I love both of you. As soon as I find out anythin' I'll let you know.

She hangs up.

Cruel Britannia Sun Apr 24, 2011 9:43 am

Alex sighs and looks at Alexis'

Alex: Did you hear all that?

Pockets Sun Apr 24, 2011 9:48 am

Alexis nods.

Alexis: What can we do?

Cruel Britannia Sun Apr 24, 2011 9:57 am

Alex rubs his head.

Alex: I don't know sweetie..... I know nothing about this Noire guy..... I know nothing about what Colin did last year..... I don't even know where to start.

Pockets Mon Apr 25, 2011 10:43 pm

Alexis: He brushed me off when I asked him about it before. I guess he didn't want me caught up in it....

She looks down at what's left of the picnic.

Alexis: I know they were just trying to protect me... Colin... dad.... But what they don't tell me keeps blowing up in my face.

Cruel Britannia Tue Apr 26, 2011 5:46 pm

Alex: I can't say I know how that feels.

He takes her hand.

.... but I can tell you that I don't keep any secrets from you..... and I'm always happy to fill in the blanks wherever I can.

Pockets Tue Apr 26, 2011 5:52 pm

Alexis half smiles.

Alexis: I know... I appreciate it.

Cruel Britannia Tue Apr 26, 2011 5:56 pm

Alex just hugs Alexis.

Pockets Tue Apr 26, 2011 6:01 pm

From inside Alex's arms, Alexis sighs.

Alexis: It'll be alright... won't it?

Cruel Britannia Tue Apr 26, 2011 6:04 pm

He kisses the top of her head.

Alex: I'm sure it will sweetie.... If anybody can help Colin it's Ben.... I'm sure this isn't the first time he's had to deal with some shady corporation..... and you know there's no chance in hell your mum'll let anything happen to Colin.

Pockets Tue Apr 26, 2011 6:08 pm

Alexis nods, looking a little better, then back down at the picnic.

Alexis: We're pretty much done, aren't we?

Cruel Britannia Tue Apr 26, 2011 6:10 pm

Alex nods.

Alex: Seems so. Plus we've still got groceries to get..... or would you rather go straight home?

Pockets Tue Apr 26, 2011 6:13 pm

Alexis: No... we really need to get groceries.

She chuckles.

Alexis: We can't rely on gift baskets forever.

Cruel Britannia Tue Apr 26, 2011 6:15 pm

Alex smirks.

Alex: True..... but the method we use to get them is a lot more fun than shopping.

He hops up and offers Lexi his hand.

Pockets Tue Apr 26, 2011 6:18 pm

Alexis takes the offered hand and playfully smiles.

Alexis: Like we won't be getting dirty ideas at the store anyway.

Cruel Britannia Tue Apr 26, 2011 6:22 pm

Alex: Oh lord.... an entire store full of sausages and melons.

He picks up the shirt Lexi's been laying on and puts it on. He realises something, sniffs it and smiles.

Pockets Tue Apr 26, 2011 6:24 pm

Alexis stares at Alex.

Alexis: Oh come on, my "scent" is not that strong.

Cruel Britannia Tue Apr 26, 2011 6:28 pm

Alex laughs.

Alex: Trust me.... I recognise your scent when I smell it.

Pockets Tue Apr 26, 2011 6:30 pm

Alexis grins.

Alexis: So, now you'll smell like me....
