With a small ‘thud’, Maddox’ suitcase landed on the ground. She would unpack all her stuff later, mainly because she thought these were just temporary rooms. Maddox recalled the words the woman spoke when they were near the fountain. “Tell me if my wish came true.” Maddox didn’t really reply after that, but she faintly heard it. [i]Yeah… I will…[/i] She said in her mind. Briefly she wondered if the woman knew she was being sarcastic, but the fleeting thought went away as fast as it came.

When she turned around she noticed no one was there and she’d just spoken to herself. As if she were on auto-pilot, she raised an eyebrow, more to herself than anything seeing as there was no one else around. Sighing, she unbuckled her belt with her holster and sat on the bed which squeaked and creaked loudly when she sat on it. [i]Seriously! Even the beds are bullshit![/i] She threw her hands up in dismay. She was beginning to regret ever coming here.

After a few minutes sitting on the bed, she got bored staring at the walls. Everyone was off doing their own thing. Exploring the city or whatever they were doing. Then a thought occurred. They weren’t getting their keys until tomorrow, so how were these rooms unlocked? Richard wasn’t very descriptive with his ‘tour’ of everything. He didn’t even test hem. Granted, that was most likely sarcasm, but it was worth mentioning, or [i]thinking[/i] about it.

Bored with her own fleeting thoughts, Maddox stood up and looked out of the window. The streets were quiet, even though they fell under the description of being crowded. No sirens, no pests, no gunfire. Just people quietly talking and being off in their own worlds. She scanned the streets looking for interesting places. If she was going to wait until tomorrow for some answers – and a key -, she might as well pass the time with something more interesting than a blank wall. Spotting some restaurants and bistro’s, she realised she hadn’t eaten anything these past hours. She only drank a small bottle of water before getting on the chopper. She decided to grab something to eat so she strapped her belt on, put her gun in her holster and made her way downstairs to go outside.

Once outside, she followed the road and looked for a place to eat. Nothing too fancy – she didn’t have large amounts of cash on her -. Just as she was about to turn a corner, she spotted a familiar face sitting and talking with another guy. Getting closer, she realised there were not one, but two familiar faces sitting there. The Asian boy and the blonde. The blonde who ditched her attempt at conversation to run off and talk to strangers. She glared a little at him, but kept walking towards the two. Without invitation, she grabbed an empty chair and sat down next to the pair. 

“Hi.” She started. She grabbed the menu which was still on the table and sat back in her chair to read what kind of foods they were serving. For a small place, it was a surprisingly large menu. There wasn’t anything on the menu to get excited about, but it was okay. Besides, she didn’t want to stand up to find a better place. “So, you two.” She gestured to the two while holding the menu in her other hand. “Haven’t eaten anything either today huh?” She had walked in maybe ten, fifteen minutes after Mikkish, or so she assumed seeing his platter. “Before now.” She muttered. 

‘Your order, Miss?’ Maddox looked up from her menu to see a small waitress with blonde-brownish hair looking at her impatiently. “Shouldn’t I be at the counter to order?” Maddox voice sounded a bit irritated, which the waitress apparently ignored along with her question. “Quiche. Please.” She said, not really looking at the woman who wrote down the order and walked away a little stiffly. “Someone release a pest on her…” She said.
