Ch. 2 Not by choice

*William follows closely and, waiting for a second bursts past them * "Do you have any idea how late you are, young lady?" *waving the used cell phone at her* "You mother is outside herself." *in a very stern voice*

*Then, he turns to the cops and the man* "I'm sorry. She must have thought you were me." *he explains*

Both officers looked hard at Sparks, then turned to Silverfire, then back to Sparks. Both of them had a suspicious look in their eyes

*takes the cue from a total stranger*

'she is? .. but i told her i was gonna be at the park .. was talking with my friends ... Ohhhh ..

*grins and looks at the phone thats now off in her hand and giggles

'oops .. i forgot to stop talking with my friends .. but i really didn't want to go to the dentist today .. my teeth are fine ..

*looks at the officers with a sorry grin and a light shrug

'oh man ... i'm sooo late now .. i wonder if i can get the appointment re-booked? .. Hey Mr. Culler, it was nice of you to come get me .. i forgot to bring my watch .. *then looking at the officers* 'Mr. Culler is my neighbour .. 12B .. mom and i live in 15B .. just down the hall

*then tucks her phone away in the pocket .. 'mom's gonna kill me .. can i go now sir? *looking up at an officer that towers over her

*William pockets his own, and takes her by the shoulder* "I'm really sorry officers. You know how it is with kids these days." *And directs her towards where the hotel is they need to get to* "We should get you home before your mother has kittens."

*allows herself to be pushed along since she can't stop the forward movement*

'you know Mr. Culler, the park was just so ... *continues gabbing about nonsense until out of ear shot of the officers*

The officer's continued to give suspicious looks until the one who'd chased after Sparks shrugs and swats his partner. " C'mon Rory, lets go. Nothing to worry 'bout here"

The second cop turned with a nod and the pair started to continue off in the other direction. " Yeah , I could use a coffee."

The last that could be made out was a 'Pfft' from the first officer, followed by. " You just wanna check the scores." Then the two cops were out of earshot, leaving the unlikely pair alone.

*William watches them out of ear shot* "Come on." *he says pulling the girl along the park* "Name's William." *He says softly, stopping at a bench* "And we need to know every sportsbar within walking distance of this park." *He says* "Or else someone who think's they're the... what's it you kids say these days? Anyways, thinks she's that."

*looks at "William" .. and then grins

'why there's the 'Fox and Hound' .. the *rattles off about another 4 "sportsbars"* .. all within a 3 block radius of the park .. and about another 3 bars that aren't .. that help?

*then backs up a bit on the blades and looks up at him again

'i'm called Maria .. but most call me 'Sparks" .. i make things go boom .. *grins again*

'so .. now where do we go? *seems to be intrigued by the chance to get up to more mishivous*

"Well, Maria, this Fox and the Hound sounds promising. Hope there's plenty of Irishmen there." *Says William, getting up* "And, if you have shoes, you should use them. They won't let those roller... blades in." *He says, marvelling at the high-density plastic... still unused to how much has changed in his tenure.*"Did you get explained what's to happen?"

(Tag-Sparks)

[shiivster]

*looks down at her blades, and then back up

'nope .. just i grabbed the .. wrong item and got told to find you'

*then sits down and removes the skates and replaces them with a pair or worn out black fabric cheap shoes

'cept .. i didn't find you .. you saved my butt .. so thanks

"Well, the long and the sort of it is: we're supposed to bring a guy named Kris O'Connell here. Not sure why. All I know is the people who handed out these phones want think they're intimidating. Really, they only came off as incompetent. Especially if they let a kid just up and steal their drop. I may have to make a stop along the way today, take care of some personal business. We have 3 hours or so to get him back here."

*Says William, in a long-winded explanation. Then he suddenly turns and looks at her*"Did they mention anything to you about contacting the authorities?"

*He looks around the park, trying to spot out the way to the Fox and dealy*

[shiivster]

'nope .. that was close tho

'guess i'm not the one you really want huh? well .. i might be able to do the stuff you want .. but i do know my way about

'so whats the options here? .. i'm .. uhh .. i cant go in .. but i could wait at the back door?

*is obviously grasping at straws here to be helpful due to her young age*

'and nope .. nothing about contacting the authorities ..

*William gets a rather malicious grin* "Well, then, we have some choices." *he says, walking with her next to him* "If they're listening, they'll know, so we're dead anyways. If they're not listening, and find out, I'm dead, at least. But either way, does your phone have a number?" *Looks at his own, discretely as well* "When we get to the restaurant, I want you to find the nearest payphone. I'll give you a phone number." *He looks around* "Not a cop, or anything."

*And he heads on*

[shiivster]

After a short walk, the pair easily found the Fox and Hound Sports Bar. From the street a rowdy crowd can be heard inside, but the blacked out windows make it impossible to see inside. A couple of college kids come out laughing about something from school. The trio glance at the pair, one of them even possibly checking Sparks out before they continued on.
