" The Dark Rider? Why would he... yeah, it probably has everything to do with what I used to do, good thinking. If he is watching when we go out though, maybe if I talk to him we can make an ally instead of another enem... Lex trailed off as the elderly man entered and he let Vivian tend to him.
Lex listened while grabbing a broom and going to sweep off the front step, wincing visibly a bit when he realized the old man was right and he hadn't locked up before checking out the accident. "That wasn't her fault, mister. I know better than to leave the doors open, but we thought someone might need helpin'."

"Sounds t'me like you gotcher priorities right, Mister," Sammy tells the man with the broom. "Just sayin' is all, that it'd be a sorry thing if'n you got hurt for doin' the right thing, y'know. Say, you listen t' the squawkbox? On the radio, they be sayin' that that contraption on wheels that made all that mess been seen headin' west outta town."

'missa Clanston? Yonette need buy fresh foods from shops that know cooking. i am . . shop, yes?' *she struggles with her american, but seems content that she said it well enough. she just hopes he understands her need to get some foods similar to what was at home "Of course. A simple enough errand. Chinatown, or downtown? And do relax, you're not bothersome or in the way." |

Vivian gets to work making Sammy's sandwich, falling quiet now that Sammy was talking to Lex about the accident, her mind wandering to what had happened earlier. Cutting the sandwich in half when she is done, Vivian takes a small piece of that new Scotch tape and secures it. Handing it to Sammy with a polite smile, Vivian says, "That will be 25 cents please, sir." Vivan then starts to clean up the small mess made when making the sandwich.

"Thanks, miss," Sammy says. He takes out a small pouch and counts off 25 cents in nickels and dimes. Then he takes the sandwich and hobbles out of the store and down the street.
Once he has turned the corner and is out of the bakery's sight, his posture straightens and his step quickens. He returns to the alley, where he removes Sammy's aged features...
Dammit, I really really hate this sticky mess that makes my face all wrinkly and weather-beaten.
... and changes back into his fighting blacks. He picks a nice spot from where he can watch the bakery but can't be seen himself and starts on the sandwich.
Okay, he thinks, I can't push them any farther. If they don't act on what I said to them thus far, I'll need to run down some other leads.
Hey, this is a really good sandwich.

Yonette smiles as the face ducks to look at the floor. 'Chinatown, please. many vegetables not in stoles nealby . . '
*she knows her grasp of the language is still bad, but hopes that Rex will understand that she's still working on the skill. she looks up and gives a faint nod to his comment about her 'relaxing'. if she's lucky, she might pick up on some interesting information about things. since most don't pay attention to the inhabitants of Chinatown

"'Many vegetables are not in stores nearby', but we can go to Chinatown for vegetables."

Night falls:
After finishing her daily routine, Vivian returns to the bakery, where Lex is just cleaning up the closed down shop. Dark Rider watches her return to the shop from atop the roof.
Yonette, you finish cleaning up after the meal you've served yourself and Rex.
Caleb, you manage to find the Car - it's inside a heavily armed farm which is serving as a distillery and smuggling operation for one of the mobs. The place is protected by armed guards as well as landmines. It's practically a fortress!
Avery, in your chats with the various bar patrons, you discover that Maroni's latest source for his hooch are the Barron Brothers - Vince, a combat vehicle engineer from the war, and his brother Earl, a local tough man brawler. Most of the patrons are scared witless of the Barrons because of their notorious bad tempers - turns out they killed their kid sister when she stopped pulling her weight with their operation.

'Well, well..look's like I have a solid idea of who out raced and out gunned three squad cars, if only who built the vehicle that allowed them to do it.' He thinks to himself.
To the bartender, "How often do the Barron Brothers frequent this place?" He asks, while putting down a $5 tip for the bartender. "Or would you know where I could find them?"

(OOC: You can assume that the Rider shadowed Vivian during her daily routine. Not all the way, just long enough to make sure that she isn't doing anything relevant -- after which he would have hurried back to make sure Lex didn't sneak out while he was distracted.)

Yonette has got the place clean. she stands up and gives a bow. 'i go sit, sew. you go out?'
*she's trying to get a feel if she should stay up to let him in or fold his clothes or anything else that he might need. or tidy up after a friend comes to visit

Lex looked up from his sweeping as Vivian entered. He'd spent most of the day in the bakery, with slipping away long enough to prep equipment during lunch. He smirked," I hope you got some rest kiddo. Could be a long night."

Dark Rider, roll your prowl skill. It seems Vivian feels that she's being watched and is looking around the rooftops.
The Bartender looks at Avery's five and shakes his head - it's going to take more than that to get his co-operation.
