Cynthia puts an arm through Frank's with one final look at her parents.

Cynthia: Well, if you are sure... let's go.

A block from the hospital is a small Italian Cafe called Giuseppi's. They take a seat and Frank orders a macchiato with a couple extra shots

Pockets Sun Jan 08, 2012 7:53 pm

Cynthia half distractedly orders a mocha.

Jabberwocky Sun Jan 08, 2012 7:57 pm

Frank:"Hun you should eat something."

Pockets Sun Jan 08, 2012 7:58 pm

Cynthia: I'm alright, really.

Jabberwocky Tue Jan 10, 2012 5:12 am

Frank:"Please, you haven't eaten since this morning. If anything happens, which I'm sure it won't, you'll need your strength."

Pockets Tue Jan 10, 2012 5:24 am

Cynthia sighs resignedly.

Cynthia: Very well... what would you recommend?

Jabberwocky Tue Jan 10, 2012 5:35 am

Frank waves the waiter over

Frank:"Hi, um I'll have the chicken parmigiana; with a side of spaghetti with browned butter and mizithra cheese. The lady, hmm..."

he scans the menu

Frank:"Tortellini alfredo?"

he looks at Cynthia

Pockets Tue Jan 10, 2012 5:36 am

Cynthia: That's... that's fine....

Jabberwocky Tue Jan 10, 2012 5:51 am

The waiter nods and walks off

Frank:"...The sooner we can get everybody into a safe house the better.."

Pockets Tue Jan 10, 2012 5:55 am

Cynthia: Do you have a particular place in mind?

Jabberwocky Tue Jan 10, 2012 6:06 am

Frank ponders
Frank:"I...ugh...I might. Lets worry about that when we get to it. I'll have to contact some people."

Pockets Tue Jan 10, 2012 6:09 am

Cynthia: What about Raquel? She seems to... know some people.

Jabberwocky Tue Jan 10, 2012 6:14 am

Frank:"...True...I'll ask her. Although the type of people shes likely to know...Will your parents be able to handle that?"

Pockets Tue Jan 10, 2012 3:39 pm

Cynthia: As well as they've been able to handle the people they already know, I suppose.

Jabberwocky Tue Jan 10, 2012 5:33 pm

Frank:"I mean...it they could end up being somewhere seedier then they are used to. I get the feeling that won't take much to find.."

Pockets Tue Jan 10, 2012 5:39 pm

Cynthia: They probably will not be the most comfortable, but it is better than the alternative. The problem is finding those who can play the game.

Jabberwocky Tue Jan 10, 2012 5:44 pm

Frank"...What you mean?"

Pockets Tue Jan 10, 2012 5:51 pm

Cynthia: On the surface, everything looks pristine and perfect... why do you think they get away with what they do? It's all in the shadows and with connections. Money can buy these connections, get you into places, into positions and have people turn a blind eye. Presidents, of corporations... and higher are in on it, have been part of it. The only thing that can work is to take the actions out of the shadows.

Jabberwocky Tue Jan 10, 2012 5:56 pm

Frank:"Oh...right...well...the first thing is making sure your parents are in a safe place. Then worry about all that."

Pockets Tue Jan 10, 2012 6:00 pm

Cynthia: So... back to the question of the safe house....

Jabberwocky Tue Jan 10, 2012 6:09 pm

Frank pulls out his phone and fiddles with it for a moment. A minute later the phone buzzes and Frank looks

Frank:"...Well this could be interesting...

Pockets Tue Jan 10, 2012 6:22 pm

Cynthia looks at Frank curiously.

Cynthia: What did you do?

Jabberwocky Tue Jan 10, 2012 6:29 pm

Frank:"Texted Raquel."

He quickly texts back just as the food arrives

Pockets Tue Jan 10, 2012 6:49 pm

Cynthia picks at her food.

Cynthia: I don't even know when they will be out of the hospital yet....
