Sal couldn't help but to smile when he felt Tiff play with his hair a little. He was glad to feel how happy she was about this, and he couldn't wait until Drake saw what she was up to. He knew his reaction would be great. When his head started pulsating though, he had to ask for the medicine. He couldn't handle it well this time around, and when Willow asked how he wanted it, he said straight and took it once it was given to him. Generally he would have mixed it with something, but he needed the relief more immediately than usual. "This should be enough, but thank you." he said to Willow when she told him he could use the weed that Cole gave him too. He didn't like smoking here, but knew with Jo not around it wasn't as big of a deal. He also didn't want to use it if it wasn't absolutely necessary. The medicine generally did the trick, so he hoped it would once it kicked in. He could feel the pulsating start to go away when Willow spoke again and he thought for a moment. "Not particularly, is there anything you wanted to do? Might be a little bit before its safe for me to try and stand though, my head isn't pulsating, but I know if I try to stand up right now I'll probably fall over." he said with a small smile. -- Drake smiled a bit to see Jo's spirits were lifting a little and he made a face when she said that Alex would likely just let her win instead of fighting her. That was a fair point. He couldn't help but to chuckle at her reaction to him telling her she was a badass though. It was one of the things he loved most about Tiff and her sisters, was how they reacted to certain phrases and slang. It was always kind of cute and often times comical. He was glad that she took to the idea of signing up for the self-defense classes though. "It's partner based, and if there is ever a class Alex himself can't make it to, I can always step in for him. But I'm glad you will. The classes tend to be really fun from what I've seen. Billie keeps them lighthearted unless she has to be serious. Plus, she uses them to help her boxers see other techniques." Drake nodded when Jo said she hadn't been in the gym before and he chuckled. "More weight machines. We finally got enough money to update some of them. Plus Billie bought new punching bags and stuff for the boxers, so those are coming in too." he said. He grabbed what he needed to and when Jo asked him about the leg curling machine, he explained it to her and then laughed. "Honestly, it's probably not far off." The walk to the record store was nice. He was doing his best to explain the equipment, and he had texted both Joe and Billie the names on their sign up list and he also let Billie know that Jo was thinking about signing up for the self defense class. He didn't get answers, but once they were in the record store, he smiled. He always liked the vibe of this place. It was always so easygoing and nice. He waved to the girl who greeted them. "Morning." he said. When she mentioned they got new posters, he walked over and started browsing through them. He let Jo handle what she needed to, and Drake saw a few posters he liked. They always had a good choice for different art styles, and he was sure Tiff would like one of them he picked out too. Once they checked out and started heading off, he looked down to Jo when she told him that Frankie had a crush on him and he shook his head a little. "Really? I don't get why." he chuckled a bit. The liquor store was luckily not far off from where they were, and when they popped in, Drake quickly set down his things when he noticed one of the employees nearly drop a box. "Hey, don't be lifting more than you can." "Thanks." the smaller guy said. "I wouldn't have, but the guy who was supposed to be here doing this hasn't shown up yet, and I can't get ahold of him. I messaged Billie and she said she was going to be by in a bit to check the orders and take the deposits, but I wanted to get what I could done before she got here." Drake sighed a bit. "Here. I'll move these boxes for you so its easier to stock, mind helping Jo." The guy smiled at Jo and waved. "Oh, hi! You were here the day I got hired." he said to her, and he walked over to her. "What do you need?" -- Cole smiled when Logan answered Clary, but soon he asked when they were supposed to be going out on their picnic. "We're heading that way at about eleven. Willow wanted to walk around a little before we set up for the picnic. She got to see all the pictures Randa was taking of what they did and got so excited to see it in person." she said. He soon headed up for a shower, and soon things just became a little bit more concerning. Clary went up and got dressed after they saw the breaking news, and Cole went up not long after she came down, and she got in to see Billie and Alex there. Alex seemed less than thrilled, and Clary looked worried. Cole couldn't blame her though. They name dropped Billie and put her up as wanted, but she could tell by the more annoyed than anything look on Billie's face, she already had a plan. Logan came down not long after and his question made them all look to him. "Those hunters know people. Billie's wanted." Alex answered, and Billie rolled her eyes. "Which is so annoying. Garret called and let me know he saw it on this breaking news thing. When I tuned into it, it's me and that Lia girl from last night." She clicked her tongue to her teeth. "I did take Garret up on his offer to pull some strings, and Randa is going to help me too if I need it because I plan on settling this today." "How?" Clary asked. "She plans on turning herself into the police." Alex mumbled, taking a seat and watching as Clary and Cole both sat down. "But, sis, if this is the hunters behind this, which from the report it is, isn't that a bad idea?" Cole asked. Billie sighed. "The longer it circulates, the harder it will get though. Plus, it gives us a unique opportunity to find out something on these hunters. If there is something I am good at, it's gathering intel. As much of a trap as this seems like, they won't be expecting one of us to turn ourselves in, and like I said, if I need it, Randa knows people that can help out." Billie answered. "Still dangerous, and you might think you're fully healed but you're not." Alex said. "You also can't tell me shit, Alex." Billie said, eyes blackening. "[b]If there is one thing I'm good at, it's gaining an upper hand. Angel and I have already decided that this is probably the best thing for us as a whole. Gets the heat off of us for a bit, and it gives us some idea as to what hunters we are dealing with. Plus you act as though I don't already have a plan.[/b]" Clary frowned a little, but she noticed Alex seemed to just concede to it. She saw Billie turn to Logan, her eyes returning to normal. "However, if you don't want me to, I won't. Might take a little longer, but I'm sure Randa knows people that could make this entire thing go away. Just have to watch my step for a while, which is already difficult as it is." Her phone rang and she looked at it, and picked it up. "Yes?" she asked. "[i]You have got to be shitting me, coach. Are they really trying to pin [b]you[/b] for looting?[/i]" It was one of the boxers. "Its a misunderstanding. I'm getting it taken care of." she said. "[i]Was gonna say, I'll go throttle someone for you.[/i]" they said, and she scoffed a laugh before they hung up. Billie looked at Logan. She could see it on his face. He was pissed, but she also knew with Clary right there he wasn't trying to totally lose his shit about everything. She walked over and rubbed his shoulder a bit. "We'll get it taken care of." Cole sighed a little and rubbed Clary's shoulder when she leaned against her. "Just be careful, Billie, please." Clary said. Alex spoke again. "Won't be doing anything for a bit, she's got stuff to take care of, and she's helping me do a few things too." "Yeah, one of the guys at the store was a no call, no show, so I have to look and see if I can find out why, and then I've got to help Derek finish putting up the order that came in last night and make sure the order going to the bar is correct. Then I need to take the deposit." she said. -- Randa waited for Garret to get off the phone to say anything. She couldn't deny that this who thing had her own blood boiling, but she also knew that if it were anyone else it could be worse. Billie was one of their most strategic minds and she likely already had a plan or two in mind to get it to go away. The fact that she had already texted her made her believe it more, and after sending another quick text to the lawyer she knew, she looked to Garret. "She's having you pull strings too isn't she?" she asked. She smiled when he said he'd been taking lessons. "Well, I want to know from who now. I kinda want to sit in on them." she laughed. She sighed when he said Logan would be pissed. "I know. I'm pissed off myself, but it also goes to show how misinformed these people are. And desperate. Targeting Billie might have seemed smart, but with her background, she's already got to be three, very annoyed, steps ahead of them somehow." she said. She smiled at what he suggested they do for the day. "That sounds wonderful actually. I didn't get to do the pictures for the final touches they did, so it will be nice to get some more of the park. I do have to drop that package for Day at the post office. I called him when I woke up and he gave me a good shipping address so I could send it to him." She said. She ate her breakfast before getting up and placing her dishes in the sink. "I'll wash dishes after I get out of the shower." She gave him another quick kiss before she felt her phone go off. She inwardly cursed at the lawyer saying they weren't in town. But the next message made her nod. "Oh, and I may have to stop by Sarah's office to pick up some paperwork." She headed into the bathroom for a shower. -- When offered coffee, Kyp shook his head and motioned to his energy drink sitting on the table. "Thanks, but I've got mine there." he said, and Rhi also declined. "And seriously don't give her anymore, she's had three cups already." "I don't understand how you do this all day! It makes my eyes heavy." she said, and she smiled when Eli said he helped found the broadcasting channel. "That's really cool." She nodded at Eli. "I wish we could find out more on them though. It's a little unnerving that there is so little on them." Kyp turned and nodded to Eli. "Actually that would help a lot. Give me one second." he typed a few more things into his computer and soon he heard the stuff printing. He got up and took the pages off the printer and handed them to Eli after taking one page out. "This one is the largest venue, so I might send an extra person or two with because of sheer size, and the owners aren't exactly the best with English, so make sure whoever you send can at least understand Spanish, or have enough patience to talk to someone who speaks broken English." "Of course they didn't." Rhi groaned. "But they will be here soon, so it can be sorted. I don't get how difficult it is to do their job. This is the third time in what, two weeks?" Kyp sighed, "It is. I still need to see the footage for that, but with this other stuff still cleaning up, it will be a bit." he nodded to Eli. "I'll have it ran within the next hour, and I'll let you know." Rhi nodded a bit. "Well, it's nice to know that people are wanting to join us. I wonder if Lucien might know the name with as much traveling he's done lately." she said before shooting him a text. The woman that came in with the files told her that someone named Ashely was in the lobby for her and she smiled. "She's early." She got up, and she saw Kyp laugh a little. "Shut up, I'll give you your $20 when I come back." Rhi headed down towards the main lobby to go get Ashely, and when she left, Kyp turned to Eli. "There is one other thing about this information Rhi got last night. One of the targets from last night, the South Council member... They were on the guest list we have for this wedding, and it's making me wonder what they were already doing here if the wedding isn't for weeks still, especially with barely any of the others on the list being here from so far South. Serg called someone in the North to see if they were staying there, since those covens seem to be working together more lately. He said he'll let us know, but it feels out of place that such a high ranking South Council member would even be here without protection." -- Sybil was starting to get annoyed at the interruptions to this particular meeting. The third one today, and two of them hadn't even been on her account. She got up and opened the door. When she saw it was Adira, she quickly composed herself and turned to the others for a moment and excused herself. She left the room and shook her head, gently pinching the bridge of her nose. "These people are useless." she said. "What is it? I am so ready for this meeting to be over that a small break is kind of welcomed."
