Things had a tendency of going from bad to worst for Ruby. While she was filling Cedric in on a few of the Underground Movement's darker secrets, her oh-so-noble guardian arrived on the scene. Don't get me wrong, Ruby appreciated what he did for her five years ago when he jaunted her out and spared her from getting Elijah Craigh's fire-fist directly to her exposed stomach but the guy was boring! He never injected any sense of fun into his job so Ruby, who was basically his job, had a dull existence. Why was he so surprised when she did slip out like this? Of course, she did have unfinished business so she couldn't go back just yet.

Speaking of the devil himself, Elijah Craigh suddenly appeared as well. She hadn't seen him since that incident at Aperture so she was left a little shaken by the very sight of him. Fire was a pain that branded itself into your mind and if she ever forgot, she had enough marks to remember the fight by. She stayed silent up until a point - Harper knew she probably wasn't just getting caught up with an old friend but she didn't believe he would purposely betray her to his superiors. She was mostly safe as long as she didn't push the boat out. Granted, Ruby really loved pushing boats.

When he moved over to the bar, Ruby leaned over towards Cedric. It was difficult trying to convey all the necessary information. "That waitress is pretty. She finishes her shift at ten. I wouldn't advise leaving the place without her." Ruby seemed brutally forward, abandoning her typical teasing nature as she nodded to him. His phone buzzed in his pocket once then twice. "She has all the information you need on a memory pen. Password is 'Albatross528'. Find out all you can on that video and get back to me." The message read as she got to her feet. "You've grown Cedric, but I've yet to decide if it's for the better or not. I'll be seeing you around." Turning, she gave a sour look to Elijah which took every ounce of bravery she had before brushing past him and moving to Harper.

"I hope I didn't cause too much trouble." She pouted as she took a seat beside him, locking her arm around his arm in a single motion. The touch seemed too personal - Ruby had already figured out that Harper did possess some sort of conscience so she took advantage of it when the need arose. "You could have left it a few hours though! Jeez, I was actually having a bit of fun!" She complained with a resounding sigh that spoke lengths of her thoughts on her current situation.

"Actually, I'm going to need a few more hours. Don't take this personally, I just haven't been out in a while." With that, she unhooked her arm and extracted two small slivers of metal from her pockets. In a quick swipe, she placed them on her ears and they covered them protectively, morphing to fit the shape. "Sorry." She murmured again before she removed a small pencil-like object that had its own stand. Placing it on the bar, Ruby activated it using her powers and it began emitting a noise that was barely even audible it was that high-pitched. It filled the room, causing chaos as screams erupted and people rushed to cover their ears, only to discover it didn't work. Getting up from the chair, Ruby left Harper who didn't look very pleased and quickly exited the building. It would be a good half an hour before he recovered and even then he would be too delirious to track her effectively. Now she had to find Alto Ganze.
