[h2][centre] [color=a2d39c] [color=f6989d]Marinalia Romus Olympus "Mali" [/color][color=6ecff6]& Victoria Darya Romus "Vika" [/color][/color][/centre][/h2] [h3][centre] [color=a2d39c]Saturday - Old Starboard pub [/color][/centre][/h3] [b]Night time Nargles [/b] [b]Marinalia[/b] Marinalia saw how Carlo was hit fairly hard by prospect Xia could be in it for the long haul, it was hard to hate the guy however much Xia ranted, raved and had insulted him he still was there when it mattered. Sure the shell was a bit bad but the yolk was in the right place. Raising her top to show the faint line of a long scar across her stomach. [i][color=f6989d]"I never... I know OK, it may take time but she recover. I was a top athlete before that..."[/color][/i] OK, she was shaking now, she had admited that to Carlo of all people, she hoped Xia realised what she would do for that woman. Lawyer. Sure, it was less interesting than he thought though, mostly admin, and symtuff but there may be some useful information out of it. [i][color=f6989d]"Sure, honestly, it's not. It's not like TV law, mostly just making sure all her bills are covered on insurance , any difficulties with her job, and prep for any restraining orders or such. She got it bad enough without that bullshit too. Yes Carlo, I'm not exactly poor, before you waste time digging, oh come on, you wondered... I'm Maxamillion Olympus granddaughter, OHI, Europe, Heavy industrial." [/color][/i] Sipping her coffee, still a little shakey though obviously she had time to think though what was needed, though Xias mum had helped greatly. She was honest with Carlo, he was future English wifeys in law of sorts, plus he was gonna be part of all this regardless. Better be working with than against. [i][color=f6989d]"Not exactly South Side... They got to be noticed somewhere?" [/color][/i] Not wanting to hive away all her secrets to Carlo, her father definitely was a shade of grey, dark grey to near black at rare moments. Xia did not mind, but Carlo? Would he start asking for stupid shit... He still was a unknown quantity. Marlin smiled at Xias comment, she was awake that was infectious despite the tears in eyes. Happy tears, overwhelmed tears nor sad tears. Massaging her hand gently with a watery smile and little pink flush realising finally how intimate she had been in front of him, no shame, just noticed how close they where and how he had not known or noticed before. [i][color=f6989d]"umm, so, might be putting up with me for a while. Snow bunny, nothing more creative? You never saw Victoria, she looked more like Elsa until recently... Drink babe, slowly though... Bit at a time. Peobbly feel like a desert but you need to take it slowly. il stay with you, your mum seemed to be unsurprised... You just get better, I got this OK honey? "[/color][/i] Helping her drink abut of water from the coughing, following the nurses advice to the final punctuation mark, there good graces let her stay at bedside and it paid not to upset the benevolent dictators of the hospital. Extremely careful and gentle, the Blonde had a suprsing talent with kids growing up, sick people and kids where not too diffrent. Her mum had not even asked where she would be, it seemed the family trait to dig up truth was very prevalent down the generations. Turning more serious, Marlin had plans and Carlo was going to help, or she would throw him to his mother and aunt and having met Xias mom, damn she would not want to be on the wrong end of her. [i][color=f6989d]"questions can wait abut, she high as a kite right now. Ask when the mess wear off? You know how to get shit done... I need shit done. Locks, this bastad maybe knows where she lives. Swapped, ASAP. I want that place secure by lunch time. B, she going to be with me for a while so once that's secure, can you sort what she has left, get some basics like a tooth brush and so? Be a afew days but that would be a big help. C, anything, well... Black she needs, you know, that hair stuff etc is a whole different universe to me. D, Il sort out some clothes, I know what she likes from Jamicia and rough sizes, but I know that's quite a stack in cash, Xia does her job for love not money, so give me your bank, il transfer over enough to cover and some to spread about to find answers. Yes, I know your... Aquientences are not free, so... My dad's a little grey, I know your not exactly putting our a APB. E.. Forgot E. They probbly have her car keys, can you, just deal with it, whatever needed. I have my hands full here looking after her right now. Please... Cannot do this all on my own. "[/color][/i] Marlin halted her list, he. He was a bit of a asshole at times, silly and annoyed Xia no end but he knew how to get stuff done, and have it done. Quicky, and this was family, she could trust he not skip out on family when she saw how he reacted to her hurt. The money was touchey but the locks alone would be several hundred dollers alone, more maybe to have someone out by morning was ending, the misc items could add up and she did not want to make things any harder than they had to be. The left over, well she did not want to know how he spent it just that it would help gain results, money talked a unique and universal language. Listoning carefully to Xia, she have a afwrmetive squeeze to her hand, and nodded. [i][color=f6989d]"The Marshal, Umm... Paige, Blonde... Laser eyes, southern accent? yes. That's her, il call her Xia. Carlo, she asks, she get you Don't have to meet her."[/color][/i] Finding her phone and the saved number, she had hoped she never need it but, well, it was needed sadly. [i][color=f6989d]"Paige. Its Marlin. Need your help. It's bad. Xia was attacked badly tonight , strange stuff been going on, missing stuff, and just not Normal. You have a reputation for getting shit done, and being relentless hunter. Then this.. She badly hurt, only just barely woke up, broken hand, bruising, lots... Of... Its bad. Please help. She asked me to contact you. Her phone is bust up, and she high on whatever drugs they her on. Right now I'm looking after things, only person bar her cousin in a 1000 miles. already got my lawyer working on a few basics. Hospital. Under Xia Alexander. They will be able to direct you, I was more concerned getting here to get eaxct detials. Please. I can look after some things but not hunt down the bastad who hurt her."[/color][/i] Hitting send, hopefully she helped. Her sister might dislike her, Marlin had nothing against Paige, she flew her to Catalina, peobbly would again of asked, that was fun flying and a new challenge going costal. Catalina was not most popular landing spot, and she had not slown open water much at all since leaving Alaska. [b]Mentions[/b] [@King Tai][@Pilatus]
