	[b][i][color=ed1c24]Club AfterDark:[/color][/i][/b] Ronnie looks over towards Chloe and has a rather surprised expression on his face. "Back to med school? Wow, are you being serious? Or is this a passing thing?" he asked. "I mean, don't get me wrong, if you are serious, I'd support you with it and all," he adds giving her a cheeky grin. "I do have this horrible pulled muscle in my back, check me out doc!" - Over at the other booth, Relic shakes his head a bit. "No, I wish I did, otherwise I wouldn't be sitting here like a duck..." he grumbled under his breath. The last thing he wanted to do was to be out like this. Not with everything that had gone down. It was all too much for him and he was never one to enjoy being out of the shadows. Good for them though, Zoie wanders in to the club about this time. Granted, she doesn't look as much like she did when she left and it is something that Scott will be able to take notice of. She isn't dressed in her usual high end clothing, jeans and a t-shirt with a dark pair of shades on and boots that look like they have been through way too much red clay. Wait, where the hell is there red clay in California? Freddie looks up from his seat and shakes his head before glancing over at Zoie. "Not till just now, damn woman, what happened to you?" he asked before a call comes out from the kitchen - ORDER UP!

	[b][i][color=ed1c24]Justice Asylum:[/color][/i][/b] Cynthia sticks her tongue out at the orderly's before following the doctor to her office. Stepping through and twirling around a bit before flopping down in a seat and letting her head fall back looking at the ceiling. When Iris finally takes a look at Cynthia's file is might make her a bit slack jawed. (Everything about Grimm is in that file - the charge of murder, the false lock up, the former treatment of the place including a lot of old school shock therapy and lithium. The fact the woman can tie her own shoe is going to be a miracle.) - Also in the file will be that she transferred from Grimm to Seattle since her release (this occurred days after the end of Murder High Reunion) - and that she personally put in the request for the transfer to Justice. Looking over at the doctor Cynthia grins a bit too broadly. "Just call me Valentine," she giggles nearly demonically. This woman is supposed to be a half way patient?

	[b][i][color=ed1c24]The Safe House:[/color][/i][/b] Risa obviously doesn't like this but she hasn't drawn yet. Seems she wants more answers before she puts a bullet into Roy's skull. "No, not asking you to help just letting you know why I am mixed up with them while still being a recruit for Argus. Argus wanted me to check out a new comer to town to bring into the fold but thing was, the same name popped on Juno's Radar. It was Alicia Gonzalez but she was found dead before Argus could talk to her, seems she fell in with Juno. At least I think that is what happened. I am not sure right now. Juno had their eyes on Risa as well, they knew she was coming. How I knew to get you two out of there. What you two do from here is up to you but seriously, going this alone isn't wise. Argus and Juno are after the both of you now. Lucas, there is a bounty on your head by Juno. They put Persephone on it. No one survives her...." Risa's brows furrow as she sits there and then looks over towards Lucas. [color=a187be]"Give us a minute Roy,"[/color] she says and waits for Roy to step outside and close the door. [color=a187be]"I don't like this anymore than you do but we can either get his help and loose whatever inside information he can get us or we go this alone. I don't trust him but he's our only connection right now."[/color]

	[b][i][color=ed1c24]Classic Building 3D:[/color][/i][/b] Marc takes the sim drive and nods to Riley. After she leaves the room he sits down on the edge of the bed and flips it over in his hands a few times before pulling out his phone. Connecting it via an individual port he accesses what is on the drive. There isn't much there, just a simple txt file. Opening it he looks at his phone and his brows furrow a bit. "Vacation Planner" - and a long line of various numbers. [color=82ca9d]"What in the hell is this Lawson?"[/color] he mutters under his breath as he stares at it. [color=82ca9d]"Fucking hell, it's a cypher."[/color] But to what he had to wonder. What good was a cypher key if he didn't have the paper that was needed to crack the code. Lawson was trying to tell him or someone something but what? Pulling the card from his phone he slipped both back into his pockets and got to work on searching the place once again. Leaving the main bedroom and heading over to the spare one. Opening the door he peeked inside, it was mostly work out equipment and boxes. Rolling up his sleeves he got to work going through everything. 

	[b][i][color=ed1c24]Queensguard R&D:[/color][/i][/b] At the gate a large motorcade pulls up and the gates open after a quick check of identification. The gate radios in that their guest has arrived - Admiral Leann McCormick, the Secretary Of Defense. The motorcade pulls up to the front of the building and the door is opened for her. Stepping out she glances around before she is flanked on either side by your typical men in black before she starts making her way up the front steps of the building towards the front door. The door to her vehicle closes and the Motorcade sits there as more "MIB" get out and take positions around the line of vehicles. Inside the research facility Elizabeth Queensguard's office doors open and she steps out with her lacky following two steps behind her and one step to the right. Her lacky is holding a briefcase that is handcuffed to his wrist as he walks. Elizabeth glances around as she makes her way to the lobby and stands there awaiting Leann to come through the doors it seems.

	Coughing heavily Natasha groaned. She had nearly finished up the autopsy's of the women but she needed a break. Sitting down at the computer she placed her purse beside her and pulled out a bottle of prescription meds and popped one of the pills, washing it down with some of the bottled water she always carried with her these days. Seeing her reflection in the dark screen of the monitor she sighed as her fingers came up and ran through her short hair. It was looking better but it was still so brittle, the chemo treatments and surgery had obviously take their toll on the woman but she just hoped that was all behind her now. She didn't want to go through that again and she most definitely didn't want to put Lincoln through having to watch her go through it again. 

	"You look tired," a voice said from behind her. Turning around Natasha looked startled at first and then smiled slightly as she spotted who was actually speaking to her. 

	[color=f26522]"Dr. Chang, nice to see you. What brings you here?"[/color] she asked as she started to stand up. 

	"No, don't get up. Looks like you could use a break." Natasha nodded and rested back in her seat. "I just came by to see how you were settling in and how things were going. It's been pretty hectic lately and I normally don't have anything to do with the morgue for the city but favor for an old friend."

	[color=f26522]"Oh, well settled in alright. Thank you for helping me find a place to stay while I am in town. Made it a lot easier. Things here are going alright. These are some very interesting cases."[/color]

	"How so?" Amy asked as she walked over to the bodies of Alicia and Lorna and started to take a look at them closely. 
	
	[color=f26522]"Where do I start? The aviation fuel mixed with purified water in their lungs instead of salt water? Or the branding on the back of this woman's leg?"[/color]

	"Branding?" Amy's face looked intrigued. "How could you pull anything off these bodies like that?"

	[color=f26522]"It wasn't easy but between myself and the forensic tech we managed to get this,"[/color] Natasha said as she turned on the monitor and pulled up the images she had uploaded of the branding. Amy stepped over and took a closer look. "Why would someone get branded like that? It had to be painful."

	"Extremely," Amy stated flatly as her hand rested on her hip and rubbed slightly, a flinch of pain coming over her features for a brief moment. 

	[color=f26522]"Are you okay Dr. Chang?"[/color] 

	"Oh yes, perfectly fine." Righting herself she smiled over to Natasha. "Seems you are finding yourself useful here. I'll stop back by later tonight. Dinner?"

	[color=f26522]"I would love to, been a while since I got to dine in the city."[/color]

	"Good, will be back later, keep up the good work," Amy said before excusing herself and heading out of the morgue. Natasha bid her goodbye and got back to work.
