Opening the envelope, Lex sighed as he read it. He knew the money was good, and they could use it, but he'd stopped his work when he'd changed his ways. He balled the letter and tossed it in the trash before following to see what was taking Vivian so long. " What's taking you, kiddo?"

Caleb's keen powers of perception apparently have him wonder if the sky is actually blue despite him looking directly at it.... hmmm, maybe he's a bit dizzy from that trip into the alley.  |

Yonette frowns, then glances up and quietly comments in Chinese "man is . . strong chi not chi"

"Supernatural aura Yonette. Remind me to show you the books I have on the subject. Thank you though," he replies in fluent Chinese.

'Hai . . ' *she makes a note of the word and then the implied order. her body is already bowing to him and will take back the first aid kit items, kneeling to repack them quickly and efficiently. she will then stand up and wait to follow once again, but wonders what caused the odd feeling she feels from the man

Vivian follows quietly and whispers to Lex, "I know that guy driving the truck. That's Caleb L'Angelle." She frowns "Mother tried to set me up with him but he was far too moody and course for my tastes. I wonder what he is doing."

Yonette stands there, clearly torn by what she's learned and wonders if he might be a host to some spirit that walks the ground. then looks down knowing she cannot fight that. <chinese> "please be careful. not want to fight for your soul against spirit man" <american> "missa Clansten" [for those listening. there is a bit of nattering then a pigeon english version of Mr Crantson's name being said] |

(Scarecrow, Rex, Avery, Yonette)
Caleb spins around a bit, and only now notices the other three in the street with him. Beyond them, he sees another pair (Lex and Vivian) In the wide street as the police officers start to arrive to check on their fellows.
(Lex and Vivian)
Lex, you see Caleb as well, but your impression of him is different; you remember reading the stories of his family being murdered, only for their murderers to have completely disappeared after the fact. It's the biggest ghost story in the Central City underworld. You also wonder how a man as big and as clumsy as Caleb could have evaded that many hired killers.
Vivian, you see the police men checking on their fellows, and a few of them looking oddly at you, standing next to Lex.
(Dark Rider)
You note some odd vehicle tracks in the dirt road - the tires are wider than even most old army jeeps, and the way it turns is far sharper than anything you've ever seen. The tracks are light for something so big too.

All right, this is really weird, the Dark Rider thinks. He had come out here expecting trouble, but now this, this is unusual. It's also obviously connected to that trouble he had come looking for.
The Dark Rider takes a moment wishing he had taken his horse, Midnight, instead of the Indian Scout motorcycle. Then he rides off, following the tracks. He is getting increasingly curious about what kind of vehicle makes such tracks, and isn't surprised to realize that he looks forward to finding out.

Lex sighed, " Come on, he may not of been your type, but he might know what's going on. Oh, that letter was another work request." He didn't hide his past from Vivian in case it got in the way, including his broken ties to the mob befor ehe moved home. " And no, I'm not going to take the job." He started walking towards the truck,

*once the 2 following close inside her 'range', her head will lift and the head will turn to look at them.
<chinese> "master? people coming"
*she will face them briefly, then steps to the side and stand close enough to move if she needs to. she has just moved herself out of the line of fire.

Vivian nods quietly at Lex as she follows him toward the truck, looking around for any onlookers who might be paying too much attention to her and Lex. A small smile appears as Vivian adds, "I am glad you are not taking it though I worry you might get into trouble before too long for ignoring them."

"That's the point." Lexx replied. " I still think they had something to do with my family problems anyways, so if they come looking, Steelfist will ask some questions. Now, you do the talking with this guy, I'm just a curious business owner if he asks."

*the curiosity in the eyes is still there as the head lowers as the two in big aprons get closer. she will gather her things a little closer, then waits quietly while they talk. chancesare, they'll speak too fast for her to follow most of what they say. she will make a note of what is needed for hte first aid kit and replenish when she can
