Nora's brow furrowed slightly as she looked at the device in the woman's hands. it looked a bit like it had been cobbled together out of spare parts and she almost opened her mouth to ask what it was for but immediately thought better of it. The woman seemed a bit unhinged, to be honest. Talking about steering and red dots. All Nora wanted to do was get to the church and help Evie deal with their mother. That was the only unhinged woman she thought she had time to deal with that day.

The woman apologized for the second time and Nora sighed a bit. "No, it's fine. Really. Just be a bit more careful, yeah?" She heard the woman comment that Nora was visiting London and she looked down at the suitcase. "Oh, yeah. For a few days. It is nice." Nora smiled a little as she looked up at the buildings. She did really miss the city life, not matter what she told herself. "I was actually born here." Why was she telling the woman that? Maybe she had one of those honest faces. Before Nora could say anything else the little device started making a bit of a racket, which excited the woman. She babbled a bit before suddenly running off without so much as a "Good day." Nora blinked a bit, shaking her head in confusion as she turned to see the woman's quickly disappearing back. "Okay then. Bye." 

She was still shaking her head slightly as she moved along the sidewalk, deciding she might have better luck with cabs farther away from the station and finally stopped when she was on an emptier piece of road. She was standing one a corner watching the main road, her back to the opening of a small alleyway. She didn't sense the large man dressed in the black hooded jacket until he was right behind her. He slipped an arm around her waist and pulled her against him, his grip firm. Nora's mouth had opened when she gasped and she was about to scream but he covered her mouth and nose with a white cloth and she inhaled something that smelled too sweet. Almost immediately her mind went hazy and her struggling became weaker. It probably took less than a minute for her body to go limp and the hands that had been tugging at the arm by her face fell to her sides. Nora's brown eyes went unfocused as her eyelids drooped and soon everything went black.

The street had been empty and the only sound came from someone's barking dog behind a door. No one had seen him. The large man picked up the unconscious girl as if she weighed nothing at all and carried her back into the alleyway he had been waiting in. He secured her carefully in the back of the plain car he was driving before getting in himself and pulling out onto the street. He got on the main road and merged into traffic. The only things left on the street corner were Nora's overturned rolling suitcase and the messenger bag that had fallen from her shoulder.
