A long sigh of relief came from Rachel as cold water bathed her overheated form, some of it instantly turning into more steam upon contact with her skin. Though her clothes hadn't fared well as a result, she could barely think about that. Some few minutes later, the girl woke with a shake of her head and had a look around. No one had abducted her, unlike the last time. And her organs were intact, unlike the last time. Rachel could tell it was the waitress that had graciously poured the water over her and gave her a grateful smile.

"Thank you...for the water. I-It was a huge help," she thanked her. "If you'll excuse me, I need to be going now." Putting on her jacket, Rachel Lineman rose and walked out of the Golden Peking without any further words. Her eyes narrowed as summer sunrays struck with a vengeance, but they managed to scan the area. Wherever could those thugs have gone? She still needed her bag. Picking out a decidedly random direction, she trailed off and waited for the golden opportunity.

A girl barely in her 20's with soggy clothes and looking like the rear end of an ass, bystanders' eyes were drawn to her as she walked on by. Rachel tried her best to just...ignore them.
