Sal smiled a little, hearing how happy Tiffany was with not only being about to be able to have her own book at the tattoo shop, but what she had just said about her birthday gift. It was good to finally see Drake with someone who matched how much he cared. Sure, there was Mila a while back, but Sal had never been around Drake this happy with someone. It was genuine, and he could tell it was for Tiff too. He may have hated being completely blind now, but with the acuity he saw auras now... He wouldn't trade some of it. "I won't say anything." he smiled. "What colors are you going to have used for it?" When Tiff went on about sounding crazy and clingy, all Sal could do was shake his head. "You won't, Tiff. I can tell you that. I personally think it's really sweet." He could tell the table was cleared once he heard the sink with dishes, and he leaned forward a little and sighed a bit. He didn't like to lean on the table with food on it because he had a bad tendency to knock it over. He could feel a small pulsating in his head again, and he clutched his forehead. "Do I still have some of that medicine Cole gave me here? My head feels like it's pulsating." -- Drake looked at his watch when Jo said something about going to one of Billie's stores and nodded. "Alright, we may have to hit it on the way back, I'm not sure they'll be open just yet." he said. "So, I figure we head into the gym real quick, go to that record shop, do whatever else and since the store isn't too far off, we head into the liquor store on the way back." he said. "Sound good?" When she answered him, he nodded a bit. He knew more about the issues with Jo and Alex than he wanted to admit because he used to be pretty bad about being protective himself, but he also learned a lot of lessons along the way. Lessons Alex obviously either never did or never had the opportunity to. He knew the relationship between he and Ez had been tense a lot because of how often he tried to treat her the way he was treating Jo now. It was where they differed though because Ez wouldn't stand for it at all, and plus she ended up out of the school a lot too. He smiled a little. "I'm always here to lend an ear. I do hope one day Alex learns you're kind of a badass in your own right." He chuckled a bit as they headed down. "Kick his ass one good time. It may help," he joked. "I get the wanting to be protective thing, but there are some things that can't be helped. You two care a lot about each other, and I know you're both afraid to lose each other. I just think he needs a little bit more of a nudge into realizing you don't always need to be coddled. If I wasn't so sure it might be a bad idea, I would say you two should enroll in one of Billie's self-defense classes. It would help you both. He could see you're not defenseless and you can show to him that you can actually defend yourself. Plus, Billie needs more people to fill the class before she can actually get it going, and if you want to learn how to really fight, she's one of the best to learn from in a technical sense." When they got to the gym, Drake noticed that the door was still locked, and he sighed and unlocked it and let Jo in before locking it behind them. "We have new equipment coming in today, so we're closed, but they know I'm in here everyday to check on things." he explained. He motioned for her to sit down and he went and grabbed Sal's stick and did a few other things before he got back over to her. "Ready to go when you are." he said -- Cole nodded at Logan's notion about being up that early needing coffee in general. "No lies there." she mumbled. She did enjoy watching how Logan and Clary were with each other. She noticed Clary make a face before she joined them. "Well... That's only slightly concerning." she said. "Especially since we could hear him and Jo having a... what would you call that?" "It wasn't really an argument, but it wasn't really not..." Cole shrugged. "I do know I'm glad I wasn't a part of it. Sounded too stressful." "It really did." Clary smiled and nodded to Logan. "It's just because we work opposing shifts. One of these days I will be up when you get home and have breakfast made, just because. That and sleeping is a very difficult thing, even now, since I didn't have to for so long. Why is being tired even a thing?" Cole couldn't help but smile at Clary. This was one of her favorite recurring things, her complaining about being tired. It was always amusing because Clary could sleep longer and harder than most people she knew if she was comfortable enough, but she also knew that soon it wouldn't be that way because she would be hearing souls for ferry soon. Maddox had mentioned a few months ago that she was getting to wear she could ferry some human souls soon. "Oh! Lunch would be fun. I know Willow and Sal mentioned something about a picnic in the park, you could totally come with us. It would be fun." Clary smiled a little. Cole nodded. "Yeah, and after last night, I don't want them going by themselves really. It'd be broad daylight, and probably a non issue, but I know how Sal gets after his visions." she said. Clary smiled and Logan kissed her cheek. "If you and Billie get to go on that date, let us know how it is. I remembered seeing all the pictures Randa took for the opening advertisements for it. It looks like it'll be a great place." she said. She yawned a little and finished up her breakfast before she started doing the dishes and Cole turned on the TV, only to have some kind of background noise as she started cleaning up the living room. She caught the tail end of a breaking news report and she blinked. "Oh that's not good." she said, and she saw Clary looking in. "Uh oh..." Clary frowned. "Billie is wanted?" "Those hunters know people it looks like." Cole said. She and Clary looked at each other. "When Logan gets out of the shower, should we tell him?" Clary asked, and Cole sighed. "I'm sure Billie will. I have a funny feeling she already knows." Cole said. -- Randa could only shake her head and chuckle when Garret took the picture. "I hate when you do that sometimes." she said, and when he cuddled up to her, she got comfortable relatively quick. "That sounds nice." She didn't even realize that she had fallen asleep. It wasn't until she forced herself awake from the start of a nightmare that she did. She saw Garret wasn't in bed, and she could smell food cooking. She rubbed her face with her hand and she took up her phone. She knew she wouldn't likely get an answer right away, but she texted Daylen just to check in on him. She didn't do it often, but she was surprised when she got a text back quickly, and she let him know that she loved him and would check in again soon. She got up and pulled her robe around her, and when she got into the living room she caught the tail end of the news report before groaning. "Humans are so stupid." she muttered. She saw Garret on the phone, and she looked back and rolled her eyes. "The one time we don't go with the mall, shit happens and it [i]really[/i] happens." Randa made herself a cup of coffee and once Garret hung up, she walked over and kissed him. "Breakfast smells great babe." she said. She went to set her phone down when she saw a text from Billie. She read it and chuckled to herself. "For the love of fucking Lucifer man, I'm almost glad it was Billie they targeted. As fucked up as it is, this is going to be so entertaining." She took a sip of her coffee and tied her hair back from her face. "So, I'm going to shower after I eat, anything in particular you wanna do since we're already up?" -- Billie was glad when Alex seemed to calm down about the whole situation, but the next thing that happened annoyed her severely. When she answered the phone, "What's up?" she heard Garret's voice. She raised a brow and turned on the channel and she shook her head. "You have got to be shitting me." she said. She rolled her eyes and clicked her tongue to her teeth. "Well this is only slightly annoying." "What is?" Alex asked and when he saw the tv screen he shook his head. "What the fuck." "Thanks for letting me know, Garret. I'm going to head over and tell Logan before Alex and I head out to do a few things." she said before she hung up. She shook her head and looked to Alex. "I'm going to go change real quick. Looks like I've got a fun day in store." "What do you mean?" he asked. "The sooner I take care of this bullshit, the easier things will be." she said. She went upstairs and freshened up a bit before coming down in pair of jeans and t-shirt. She saw Alex looking at her as she texted Randa about possibly needing some help taking care of this. "How exactly do you plan to take care of this?" Alex asked as they grabbed their things and headed towards Logan and Clary's house. "I'm going to go turn myself in, clear my name, and be done with it. Once the publicity dies out, it'll be smooth sailing. Plus, more breaking news will come out once I've been 'apprehended.'" she said, and Alex gave her a look. "You and I both know this is a thing set up by the hunters, B, why are you going to play into their hand?" he asked. "Intel, Alex." She said, and she got up to the door of Logan and Clary's house before she knocked. "Besides, the longer we sit here and let that circulate, the harder things will get anyway." Clary opened the door and she hugged Billie almost immediately. "Hey! Logan should be getting dressed now. I didn't hear the shower when I came down from getting dressed." "Thanks, Clar." Billie said, and she saw Cole motion for her to sit down. "It's going to be a day, that's for sure." -- Atty wasn't sure at the answer the cat version of Kat was giving him until she knocked the fork out of his hand and basically demanded more pets from that hand. "Okay, I got it." he said with a chuckle. He saw Lia come back in the kitchen not long after and place a plate of food in Mitch's spot before Mitch himself entered the kitchen. He was kind of glad to see he wasn't the only one that was feeling the tension across the room, though he could tell Kat was at least a little bit more pleased to be getting the amount of pets she was. He sighed a bit, and when he heard Mal mention Eve going out on her own. The only good thing was that everyone here was very capable of defending themselves on their own, but after last night... It wasn't a good idea. Aless looked up to Mitch when he spoke to her. She sighed. "Huh? Oh, I'm alright." she said. "Just got to rework Roland's compounds again it seems. Has uh... has anyone seen him this morning?" she asked. Lia looked to Aless. "He's outside working on that thing again." she said, motioning her head out the window. "I noticed him out there when I went to go start on laundry." she said. She pushed some food in front of Aless and made a face and Aless started eating. Lia finally took her own seat beside Mitch and started picking at her own breakfast she turned on the radio. "[i]Today's forecast is partly cloudly with clouds clearing up by the afternoon. High of 75 for today, so it should definitely be a pretty day today.[/i]" the person said, and Lia smiled. "Good." she said. "Will make working in the garden easier." Atty nodded. "I could imagine." Once they started talking about the explosion at the mall, Lia turned off the radio and rolled her eyes. "I forget how stupid humans are. They will believe anything." Roland came in a few minutes later, and he looked at Lia. "You're wanted." he said, and Lia raised a brow. "They just described you and that Billie girl from last night to a T over the radio." Lia groaned and rolled her eyes. "Good luck finding me, not like I go out much, and if I have to Kat can always have some fun with my hair. Problem solved." "You are awfully nonchalant about this." Atty said, and Lia shrugged. "Not the first time I've been 'wanted,' and probably won't be the last." she said, taking a bit of her food. She got up and petted Kat's ears again. "Besides, Kat always enjoys getting to play with colors and hair, so it's a win-win if I ever do want to go out." Roland shook his head and waved a hand. "Sit down and eat." Lia said, and when Roland went to go leave, he saw the look on her face. He sighed and made himself a plate before sitting down to eat. Aless looked up at him and sighed. "Later we're trying new compounds. I've got to look up what I need for this new one so I can get it together, okay?" she said, and he nodded. "Alright." he said. -- Rhi and Kyp were at the compound surprisingly early. Wes and Serg were likely in the gym, training, but Kyp and Rhi were busy going through the information Chester gave her last night and going over a lot of the stuff from the night before. Rhi was glad that they were in Kyp's sanctum though, it was quieter than almost everywhere else and they could monitor so much. She had seen the Breaking News report come across the screen on the bottom right of Kyp's wall. It wasn't the best excuse, but it was plausible at least. A knock came to the door and Kyp looked up from the file. "It's open!" he asked, putting a lollipop back in his mouth as he went back to the file. He and Rhi both looked to see Eli coming in. "Oh good." "We just saw the Breaking News thing come across." Rhi said, motioning the screen it went across. "That's the channel that does the radio broadcasting too, so it should even get people commuting too." Kyp nodded. "It's hard to sift through the impartial security footage that I need to right now. I have the files cleaning up, but they use such an old system it's taking forever. I do have something else though." He turned to his computer and began typing a few things. "So, apparently this wedding thing that Chester brought to us is a legit thing, and it has potential to be a large event. According to what I have gathered, it's a few weeks away, from what the venues on here have listed in accordance to our files, but more digging is necessary, but getting teams prepared now would be a good idea. The only thing that is worrisome is that we don't have much on the groom and..." Rhi shook her head. "The bride is probably the most reclusive of all of our targets, even though her picture is on the news right now." she said. "Meaning, it looks like it wasn't a bad idea that you got Axel in on this." Kyp chuckled. "Good ol' BB Ass. Always becomes inopportunely useful." he said. "I'll keep digging on it though, but it's necessary to put the best foot forward on it." "I also got a call this morning from the holding site. We may need to take a few of them out of there for being too rough. Switch them out for hunters who are known to not be. One of the captives they had trouble getting up last night, so they won't be able to be questioned for a while. I told them to go ahead and send the interrogator our way." she said. "They said they had tried calling you, but I almost doubt they did."
