[h2]Hi-Hat Crew, New Orleans[/h2]

Hi-Hat attempted to look where Sir Frederick Selous was looking, and saw Shivani and Dr. Facilier, patiently waiting in a car. He wagered a guess that Frederick wasn't referring to the good doctor, and recognized who Shivani was.

"Hey," Hi-Hat whispered to Shazay, "Isn't that the recruit from Athas who totally orc'd out at her job interview?"

Shazay looked at Shivani, and laughed heartily. "Hey, yeah! Dude, that's her! I'm glad she found a job so quickly, but who's that with her?"

"Oh, hey! It's Doctor Facilier! Betcha he's waiting for us."

Xiangshi spoke up, her voice thick with consternation. "Then we'd better get moving, before he gives up."

Hi-Hat turned to Sir Frederick Selous. "C'mon, we'll meet each other and you can see if the recruit is actually a [i]Feliz salir[/i] or whatever."

The Hi-Hat Crew made their way out of the alley, and stepped right up to the cab currently occupied by Dr. Facilier and his bodyguard. Shazay knocked on the door, and spoke with a professional tone. "Doctor Facilier? We're Shocker+."
