Faolan, Aurel, and Illyana all waited on the bus while Lucien went into the bank branch to work his "magic". Faolan stayed up by the front of the bus, watching the entrance and keeping his nose and ears open for Lucien, but he sensed no danger here. As long as whoever he was talking to wasn't too interested in Lucien and what he was doing there, they would be fine. Faolan knew that the man was too smart to let anything show as a crack in their story, but it wasn't like the Irishman to relax before he was sure of their safety.

Illyana and Aurel got to eat some sandwiches while they waited, but the girl was silent. She was nervous, but excited. She had never felt this mix of emotions before quite so powerfully, so she was having some trouble processing them. She didn't know whether to be happy, scared, or miserable about her situation...she decided to just take everything as it came to her. For the time being, she was content with their plan, but the faster they got to her sister, the better for her. It had already been hard these last few weeks alone, the longer she was apart from her twin, the less whole she felt...

When Lucien returned, she nearly jumped up off of the bench to greet him. She took the paper from him and read it quickly. [color=598527]"Lorraine Murphy...?"[/color] she asked, looking up at Lucien. The name did sound slightly familiar, but if this person was a relative, why was her last name different? Illyana's parents almost never visited relatives, although they did send letters. Something was pulling at the back of Illyana's mind when she read the name, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Faolan was relieved to see Lucien return, and got up to see what he had gathered from the bank as well. He raised his eyebrows at the mention of the name. He knew that the girl had to have at least traces of Ireland in her blood, and this proved it. If this Murphy was a relation of hers, anyway.

[color=a36209]"You don't recognize the name?"[/color] The Irishman asked, then held out a hand for the paper. Illyana shook her head and handed it over. Faolan read it, then grunted, [color=a36209]"Well, the address is in New Jersey. That's not too far from here, we can be there within two days if I keep my foot down."[/color] He said, then approached the cabinets and withdrew a map book. He laid it out, flipped to the relevant page, and began tracing their course.

After a couple of minutes, he pointed out a spot on the map to Lucien. [color=a36209]"Maybe even one day, but I'll need to get gas before, and we should probably stock up on some more supplies as well."[/color] They hadn't had a chance to go food shopping in some time, and their stores were running a bit low. Now that they had an extra mouth to feed, they would be going through their food a little quicker, even if the girl ate like a rabbit.

The Irishman caught a glimpse of the girl's dejected look and smiled at her, [color=a36209]"Don't worry, we'll be quick. We know how to shop on a rush, don't we?"[/color] He looked to Lucien and Aurel at his question, hoping that they would further reassure Illyana of their seriousness in helping her.
