Feeling relieved, Alice opens the door. "Janey!" she greets her former roommate with a smile. "Come on in! What brings you to my neck of the woods?"
As Jane enters the apartment, Alice starts to relax a little, hoping she can put what happened earlier that day out of her mind, at least for a little while.

" Some creep in a funky jumpsuit just showed up at my place looking for you. " She replied, letting herself in. " He sounded half annoyed at you, then took off in a shot when I told him you move down to the keys. So I lied a little bit." She grinned, taking a seat on the couch.
" So he was kinda cute, you finally find a guy and dump him already or something?" Jane pried inquisitively shaking her head. " Your best friend gets her own place and then starts holding out. What's this world coming to?"

Alice feels a mix of emotions after hearing Jane's story. Relief at the fact Jason seemed to be ok, even if he was annoyed with her. Then she wonders how Jason knew the address of her old apartment and gets worried that he would eventually find his way to where she was living now. All she says out loud, however, is "Oh, that was probably Jason. I know him from my computer programming class from last year. Did he say what he wanted?" Alice pauses, and adds "I wonder how he knew my old address. I never gave it to him." Alice shrugs "You want a drink?" Jane nods "Sure, water would be nice." Alice goes into the kitchen and gets a couple of glasses of water.
Both girls go and sit on the couch, sipping their water. "Yeah, he is kinda cute" Alice admits with a grin "but he's a big jerk. Rude and condesending. Acts like he knows everything. And he's not my boyfriend. Believe me, Janey, if I'd met a guy in this city worth dating, I'd tell you all about it." Alice shrugs "Forget about him, Janey, he's not important. What's new with you? Are you dating anyone interesting?" she asks in a teasing tone of voice, trying to change the subject.

" Oh, you know me. I keep weening the losers out of the dating pool." Jane grinned, sipping her water. " But I've seen this one guy a couple times now. Good looking, regular job, actually has his own car that isn't his moms and his accent is kinda sexy." She giggled slightly, stopping suddenly. "Oops, he's outside waiting in the car, I'll be right back." She sets her glass on the table and slips out of the apartment .
After a couple of minutes, she knocked on the door before entering with her friend, dragging him behind her. " Alice, this is Dimitri."
Dimitri smiled politely, and replied softly with a heavy Croatian accent. " Nice to meet you, Janey talks about you often."

Alice smiles politely at Dimitri "It's nice to meet you." Gesturing at the couch, she says "Please, have a seat. Can I get you a drink or anything?" Dimitri nods, and replies "Whatever you are having is fine, thanks" Alice gets another glass of water and hands it to Dimitri. "Tell me, did you grow up in Miami? How did you and Janey meet?"

" No, I moved here a couple years ago to live with my uncle and get away from the violence back home." Dimitri replied, his tone revealing it was a touchy subject before he changed the subject. " Jane and I met when she tried to run me over outside a nightclub. she was a tad tipsy and I helped her in a cab. She asked for my number, but I figured she was too drunk to remember."
He laughed, drawing a couple swats from Jane. " I wasn't that bad." That only drew more laughter before she stood and made her way to the bathroom as he sipped his water slowly.

Alice laughs "That sounds like Janey all right!" having been a witness to how drunk Janey can get at times when they've gone out on friday nights.
As Jane goes to the bathroom, Alice continues to make polite conversation "What do you do for a living?"

Dimitri grinned politely, brushing his hair away from his eyes. " I make deliveries for a local courier company. It is not much, but it pays the bills until I find something better."

Alice nods "Yeah, I know what that's like. I've had a few crappy part-time jobs trying to pay my way through school." Alice shrugs "But I guess everyone has to pay their dues, right?"

Dimitri nodded with a grin, then turned his attention to Jane returning. She looked at Dimitri. " Are you ready? We're gonna be late."
He nodded, then chuckled as he stood up and started towards the door. " The master speaks. Nice to meet you."
" Sorry we can't hang, Alley. Go dinner reservations with my folks." Jane explained. " I'll see you around."

Alice smiles "No problem, Janey." Alice gives Jane a hug "You want to hang out this weekend? Catch a movie or something?" Jane nods "I'll give you a call, we'll set something up." Alice grins "Cool." Turning to Dimitri, Alice says "It was nice meeting you." Waving her fist playfully at him "Be good to my friend here, or I'll beat the crap out of you" she jokes.
Jane and Dimitri leave, and Alice closes and locks the door behind them. She puts the glasses from their drinks in the kitchen sink and decides to work on an assignment she has due the next week. As she turns on her computer, her mind wanders to what happened earlier that day. She figures that she can now research this 'Agency' that Jason had mentioned earlier. She loads up her browser and starts searching while typing up her article.

Just as she sits down, a commotion echos in the hallway. Jane's voice is easiest to pick out but there are two others, one of them possibly Dimitri but too low to tell.

Alice frowns, wondering what was going on. She walks to her door, and cautiously opens it and sticks her head in the hallway, trying to find the source of the commotion.

" Look pal, I didn't follow you." Jason pointed at Dimitri, pointing at him.
" Yeah, it really looks that way." Jane snapped back. Dimitri nodded, blocking the hallway. " You should leave."
" I just want to talk to her for a moment. " Jason sounded sincere, " We didn't part on good terms."
Alice, hidden around the corner of the door, noticed Jason was holding something that looked very similar to her address book from her purse.

Seeing Jason, Alice thinks 'Bloody hell!' Alice frowns, spotting her address book. 'So that's how he found out where I lived' she thinks to herself. Alice steps out into the hallway, revealing herself to the three people in the hallway. "It's ok, you guys." She sighs, feeling a bit resigned. "He's right, we have some things we need to talk about." Walking over to Jane, Alice hugs her quickly "Don't worry, it'll be fine, Janey."
Jane looks hesitant about leaving, asking "Are you sure? We can stick around, if you want, in case things get out of hand." Jane glares at Jason as she says this. Alice shakes her head, and says "No, it's ok. I'll call you later, ok?" Jane nods hesitantly, "Well, ok if you're sure." Jane and Dimitri leave slowly, casting looks over their shoulders the whole way. Jane looks especially suspicious as if she thinks Jason is going to pull a knife and slit Alice's throat there in the hallway.
Glancing over at Jason with a neutral look on her face, Alice asks, "You coming?" and walks towards her apartment.
