"I have to die some time." She reminded him and waved to the doctor as she left. Once in the hallway she saw Lillith and held out the paper map she had drawn...with her art skillz {think Rukia from Bleach art skillz} "Her you go sweetie." She said warmth flooding her smooth voice. I think that I will start in the mostly residential northern east side. you two should work from the north west corner, south" She smiled and rubbed
Alphonse hand with her fingers. She could not help but smiling she had something she knew she could do to help, and not an imposable task.

I nodded softly as Alexia walked out. Who was I to make her stay? Saving her life was one thing, but forcing her to be with someone like myself for any longer was another entirely. "Thomas," I gestured to my bedroom and shuffled the two in. It pained me to look at the girl beside him, because it only better proved my first theory. The door squeeked behind us. I felt around the inside of my cabinet and pulled out one of the pregnancy tests. The woman mumbled something and made her way to the bathroom.

Lillith took the map and nodded her head. "I'll get started right away, Miss Alexia." she says and starts heading towards the stairwell, leaving it up to Alphonse to follow her, or Alexia.

"If you are certain you will be alright on your own, Alexia." At least she would be in the residential areas. It was bound to be a little less dangerous there. Alphonse was no overly fond of splitting up and having to leave one already injured woman on her own. But Lillith was already walking away and he was not left with much choice. "Be careful, and good luck." he held her hand in both of his, noticing not for the first time how small and fragile it seemed. But Alexia smiled and was satisfied to have a purpose. Alphonse lifted her hand, kissed her palm and turned to follow Lillith. Ah, women... how long ago had he given up on understanding them?

Lillith was quickly heading down the stairs, no longer walking. She was going to help. Really help. And that has got a new bounce in her step, even if she is going to be working on the more dangerous side of town.

Alexia turned and went down the opposite stair well. She was annoyed that she was un able to run, but happy to be moving at least. She walked as quickly has her body would allow, headed straight for the edge of town. She did not want to waste her time taking the tunnels there, even if this was more risky it was quicker. She did not think that anyone would bother with her in her current state. She might have been compared to a zombie. It took four and a half minutes to walk all the way to the last house, and she knocked on the door loudly.

Lillith was practically jogging and Alphonse had to suppress a smile. He quickly caught up to her. How many would take their advice and leave, he wondered? He had no doubt there would be a number of stubborn residents with their various reasons for staying. He was no different, really. Quiet reasons that were the business of no one else. He had the briefest suspicion that even the good doctor Surflue was the same. But no longer, for Alphonse! He would help Lillith and Alexia, he would leave this wretched place... and in time, he would see his son again, happy, healthy and hell, while he was dreaming large, still shacked up with that nuisance boy Lance.

{Ok, Back to Lance!}
Lance took Mallory's hand and walked out into the tunnel. "We are going to hit my building before leaving; you can't get on a plane looking like that." He smiled sweetly and picked up the pace. In only minutes he stopped suddenly next to a latter built into the tunnel wall. "Here we are." He said and climbed up to unlock the trap door above them, then climbed up into the room above.
Alexia was able to convince seven different families to leave with in the first half hour. She could tell that she was starting to get worn out, but she could not give up. She knocked on another door, only to find that the house had already been emptied. “Okay.” She breathed and sat down to rest for a minute on the front porch.

The girl walked out of the bathroom a few minutes later, gazing at the ground beneath her feet. The pregnancy test was balled up in her fist, surpressed by the agony of her clutch. Tommy sat on the bed, face in hands, holding back a growl. His ex-girlfriend continued to glower at my carpet. She winced and a held back tear finally edged out. The moment it did, she was bounding out of the appartment on the balls of her bare feet, stopping for no one. Tommy didn't follow her, it was like he knew the truth, but had been masking it in denial until there was a little piece of evidence lying on the floor. I looked at him again to find that he wasn't there. Out of my preferal vision I saw the curtains of the previously closed window moving slightly on a breeze.
"I have to go," I insisted again. He lifted his head and gave me the smile that said please, don't go,. I nodded with a puppy-dog face. He kissed me once more and I picked myself up to go. The rain had subsided, there was only little billows of wind shaking the outdoor world, the one that I wished never to enter again. But Tamatha was an inevitability for me, not something I could shrug off my shoulder and laugh about. I opened the door, trying hard not to look back again. Now to find Asher and Dusk.
"Let's try to be serious for a moment, shall we?" I insisted as we bounded out of the bar. "Let's say, serioiusly, that we find your sister as well as find a way to sort out what is left of this screwed over night, hm?" I calmed myself and caught her right before she could fall over onto the concrete. "How much did you have?!"

Mallory gave an embarrassed look down at his clothing. The white tee shirt and grey sweat pants he slept in were hardly appropriate anywhere outside his bedroom, let alone on a plane. And now they were dirty as well. As were his bare feet; he chose not to even think of how filthy they must be. He had been blocking out his appearance entirely. Oh, he was fully aware it was not in an ideal state; he'd just refused to consider how terrible he really looked. "c'est vraiment; my state of dress is truly atrocious!" Mallory followed him up the ladder the moment he heard the click of the lock.

Lance walked around the room, and into the next room over. He turned on a facet and smiled when he found that they still had water. "Maul? come on." He opened a door and flipped on a light and walked into the good-sized bathroom. after starting the shower he walked back out into the main room. "Take a shower, I'll get you some real clothes." He smiled and ran upstairs into the wardrobe room to find something that would fit the boy.

"A shower? Marveilleux! Exceptionnel!" Mallory gleefully stepped into the bathroom, pulling his shirt over his head before he was even fully in the room. It was likely the quickest he had ever shed his clothing. He did not even bother with the still open bathroom door; his mind was entirely two steps ahead in the lightly steaming shower. Mallory stepped inside and for the first few minutes did nothing but stand there, letting the hot spray blast away the top layer of unpleasant grime and sweat. His eyes fluttered shut and an enraptured sigh passed his lips. A shower had never been more welcome than this one was. Finally the boy reached for the soap and began to lather himself up.

Lance scrounged around in the good sized room full of racks of clothes for something not to dancer-esk so the boy would not be a clear target for anyone. He settled on a long sleeve back tee with grey horizontal pinstripes, and a pair of dark jeans that should have fit him, then he got his own clothes and walked down stairs, he too had to shower before they left. He walked into the bathroom thinking that the open door was an invitation that he wanted company, and striped quickly, stepping into the shower behind him, and closing the curtain, lucky it was a big shower, He turned on the second water spray, and started to soap up right away. running shampoo though his long silver locks, as he faced away from the boy.

Mallory heard Lance enter the bathroom but thought nothing of it. There was the soft rustling of clothing being removed and Mallory stepped fully under the spray to rinse off quickly, expecting he would vacate before Lance got in. And so he was quite surprised when Lance stepped into the shower with him and turned on a second shower head. Mallory turned his head slightly, but at the slightest glimpse of Lance's bare back he faced forward again with pink tinging his cheeks. Chewing his lip a little, he contemplated just slipping out of the shower without a word. But a surprisingly large part of him tut tutted the very idea of such a wasted opportunity. Good lord; he really had some of Alphonse's genes after all. Gently shaking his head as if to dislodge that thought, Mallory turned to fully face Lance this time. Lance was turned away, but Mallory was quite satisfied with the unimpeded view of his backside. Still blushing, but thinking perhaps he ought not just stand and stare, Mallory steps up to soap Lance's back.

{"tut tutted" I Burst into laughter...}
Lance turned his head at the touch of the boy on his back. He smiled and could not help but chuckle "Thank you mali." He said and soaped up his front, and face, then rinsed off, before turning around to wash off his back, and face the boy. He leaned back slightly and rinsed off his hair. Then poured a glob of conditioner into his hand and ran it though his white hair. After washing that out too, he leaned forward to kiss the boy deeply. Her put his hands at the sides of the boy’s face and bent down slightly.
