Sarah returns the hug and tells him "Be careful." She then starts in the direction of Vandy's Wilderness Outfitters.

" You too." Coop replied, releasing the embrace and getting into the car. He looked at El. " Guess it's time to step in the spotlight, huh?" He didn't sound enthused.

It was hard to tell in the noise of the store, but it almost sounded like some-one swooned at Coop's gesture to Sarah. Cooing was definitely there.
(Sarah)
Sarah, with relative ease, makes her way across the distance from the Joliri Embassy/Trading post to the Spire Mall. It wasn't too busy, but there was still a bustle. There was an irksome feeling in the mall, with all the people, like she was being shadowed, but it was very hard to know for sure, in the all the crowds. It didn't look like it, at least.
Vandy's Wilderness Outfitters certainly looked like its name implied. Everything from mountainering gear to tents to harness for horses were found there.
(Coop)
The press were, indeed waiting, at the boundary of the Trading Post's property. The whole trading post being considered an embassy had its advantages, including a small army of hulking Minotaur guards lining the main entries, making sure shoppers could get in and out. Also, there was a press gallery to which the paparazzi were herded as a matter of course.
Seeing Coop's car, the photographers bathed the place in light, some trying to negotiate (with varying levels of civility) a way past the guards.
"So," Says Eleutheroi, "Where to?"

Sarah walks through the aisles of the store, wondering why Eleutheroi had wanted her to come here in the first place. 'Sometimes I wish he wouldn't be so vague when he gives instructions' she thinks to herself. Feeling a bit uneasy, she watches out for any sign that she is being followed, and if so, by whom.

After milling around the store, a clerk (a couple years younger than Sarah, but quite approachable), appears near one of the back-packs. "Hi, can I help you?" She asks.

Sarah smiles politely at the clerk and replies "No, I'm fine, thank you." After she leaves, she takes out her cell phone and calls Eleutheroi. Once he answers, she asks "Ok, why did you send me to the wilderness outfitters store? What am I supposed to get?"

" I don't know." Coop replied, trying to ignore the swarm of reporters. " How about back to the guild for now. We can do some checking on who owns that building. If we do a little digging, maybe we can get some leads." Without thinking, he waved to the reporters as the car pulled away." " unless you've got a better idea." He added as the elf answered his cellphone.

"Well, they sell harnesses, don't they? Like for horses and such. They may have someone that puchased odd custom harnesses, like to keep branded demons." Eleutheroi responds. "Don't let your shadow worry you." He adds, rather randomly in a quiet voice. "We good?... Crap, I gotta go." And he hangs up.
(Coop)
"Nope, digging's fine. We should get access to the records on the owners there." Eleutheroi says. "Hold on a sec."
Answering the cell, he says"Well, they sell harnesses, don't they? Like for horses and such. They may have someone that puchased odd custom harnesses, like to keep branded demons." And then whispered something into the phone, adding "We good?"
On the main street, the car quickly sidled into anonymity amongst all the others. Suddenly, Eleutheroi says "Crap, I gotta go." Hanging up the phone, he looks at Coop through the mirror. "Make sure you're buckled up."
As he says this, the car veers, almost as it's cut off from another one.

Sarah blinks in surprise at the mention of the shadow. If Eleutheroi was telling her not to worry about it, then it must not be much of a threat. 'Perhaps it's a guard from the Guild' she thinks to herself. She then looks for the salesgirl and asks "I'm looking at custom made harnesses for horses. Could you help me?"

Coop pulled his seatbelt a little tighter as he looked back over his shoulder, his hand braced on the door handle as the elf swerved, " Who is it?" He asked as he was thrown hard against his restraints.

"Oh, yes." Says the girl. "Are you a new rider, or an experienced one." She asks, leading Sarah along to the harness. THere were certainly a great variety. "For your size, we have a lot of options. Most women - and a frightening number of men - that ride are about your size and shape. Just once, you know, I'ld like a tall handsome man to come in and say 'I'm looking for a harness'." She says, chuckling.
(Coop)
"I don't know, but they're pretty aggressive." Eleutheroi hands the cellphone to Coop. "Dial..." he swerved what looked like another attempt, and veered towards an offramp. "Dial 5 on speed dial." He says.

Fumbling the phone at first, Coop quickly did as instructed and waited, glancing back at their pursuer," come on, pick up."

Sarah smiles at the clerk and says with a chuckle "Yeah, I hear ya." As they head to the harnesses, she tells the clerk "I'm a new rider. I thought it would be fun and be a good way to get some exercise and fresh air."

"Yeah, getting out into the country. It just calls for some people." The clerk says. "Have you picked out a mount, yet?" she asks, waving to the fairly large wall of harness and saddle samples. "We usually carry harnesses for all the horse breeds, and a few of the exotic ones. We can custom make them too." She grins politely.
(Coop)
The phone picks up but there's no voice answering, as the car careens wildly down a corner in the west end. The pursuer seems to be a very large car. Then after a second, it says, "3 minutes." and hangs up.

Sarah shakes her head and says "No I haven't gotten a mount yet." Chuckling she adds "I'm afraid I'm very much a newbie when it comes to this." Looking at the wall of samples, she looks to see if she finds one that is similar to the one they'd found the night they hunted the branded demon.
