Jake begins moving around the apartment, checking the fridge first then closets and cabinets. Seeing if anything was left behind like a clue or a burger.

" Not too sure Stones. Looking around here might be a good start. What are you two doing?"

Jake gives a casual look to Donnar and Justice.

You look around the apartment and don't see anything else of note. A little bit after you come to that conclusion, there's a knock at the door. When you open it, a young woman stands there, obviously nervous and wringing her hands.

"Is he here? Did he come with you?" she asks.
Jan 8, 2019 5:55 pm
Standing at the door, Jake gives the women a feral look then realizing he's a hard man to look at. Takes off his wool cap and removes the unlit cigar stub out of his mouth. Brushing his wild greasy unkempt hair back he says.

" I'm sorry but no. He never came to meet us."

Then with an inquisitive look

" Who the hell are you?"
Jan 8, 2019 6:34 pm
Stony looks her over, and is glad Jake responded. He only adds, "We waited, he didn't come."
Jan 9, 2019 4:37 am
She takes the news like a punch to the gut and leans back against the opposite wall in the hallway. "He told me, assured me, he'd be safe! He said it was just a short trip to the edge of town and then he'd be with you..." she looks over the group, her eyes hard and accusatory. "I wish you'd all just stayed away. Someone blabbed that you were coming and everyone knows! One of them got him. Had to have." As she speaks, tears well up in her eyes and her voice gets higher with stress and worry but she doesn't give in to the sobs that threaten to break through.

A look of frustration shows on Jakes' face.

" I understand that your upset and we are willing to help. But .... YOU ARE WASTING TIME. WHO ARE YOU? WHO KNOWS? AND WHERE?"

The woman takes a shuddering breath, obviously taken aback by Jake's harsh tone. "My name is Mia. The man you were supposed to meet is my boyfriend. I told him not to get involved. Somehow, the fact that you were coming was leaked out to the rest of the city. At least, the rest that knows about you. The Kinfolk know. The leeches know, I hear. The hunters. It's not safe for you here. They're going to hunt you. No one is safe."

"Leeches? How do you know the leeches know? Do all these people know about this apartment?" Stony tries his gentle voice, as if they were in a church, trying to discern how wide open their presence actually is, and how she knows that.

Mia wipes tears from her cheeks with the back of her hand, smearing her makeup to the left side of her face. "One of them, or one of their minions, found Michael and told him. He said they knew about what was coming and if he knew what was good for him, he'd stay out of it." She shakes her head, scowling. "He promised me he could take care of himself. But I was always afraid he was biting off more than he could chew."

" Well we can't stay here."

Going back into the apartment you see Jake grab his stuff and making his way back to the door.

" Mia, where was the last time someone saw him?"
Jan 16, 2019 4:52 am
Mia looks at Jake, then at the others. "I... I'm not sure. The last time I saw him was at our trailer. That was three hours ago. I don't know if anyone else saw him after me. Or, I'm sure someone did, but no anyone I know.
Jan 19, 2019 1:55 pm
"Mia, give us a minute."

Jake goes to meet the group in the semi-privacy of the apartment.

" Ok, well the only thing I can think of would be to go back to where he was and try and track him. Also, can anyone track or sense wyrm taint? I sure can't, wasn't taught the gift. "

Taking a quick look in the direction of Mia.

"Also check her as well we could be walking into a trap. What do you guy's think?"

"I can ask the spirits to track him. Is easier if they have something of his to start with, and a map of the area to show me with."
Jan 21, 2019 5:05 am
Mia waits over by the door, fidgeting and pulling out her phone to check it at least twice while you're having your discussion.
Jan 21, 2019 8:21 pm
Jake hands over his map to Stony.

" Sounds like a plan Stones. But we need to get moving now."
Jan 24, 2019 9:28 pm
Jake makes his way back to Mia. " Alright, were waiting on the other to get ready."

Jake motions to the room behind him, then wait's patiently for the pack in the hallway.
Jan 24, 2019 10:10 pm
Stony asks Mia for an object. "I can track him using the spirit world. It works best if I can show the spirits something that belongs to him. Something personal. Do you have anything like that?"

Using the proffered map, he sits on the floor and begins to enact the ritual, imploring the spirits to find Michael. He offers them a personal item that Mia might offer (if she had one on her or in the apartment). Tieing a bootlace to a knife, he enters a trance and dangles the knife over the map, allowing it to swing slowly.

Mia gives you his car keys, upon which hangs a worn rabbit foot. She gives half a smile and says, "His mom gave it to him for luck," by way of explanation.

The knife swings around the map, oscillating over it as it searches for his location. Soon, the point settles on a place on the map, its point vibrating in a small circle.

It points in the area of the apartment complex.

" Fucking hell!"

Jake goes back to the apartment. Looking at the door, walls, and floor just to see if there were any signs of a struggle or fight.

"He's in the building. Or on it. Or under. Gotta search." Stony moves to the door. "I'll go up."
