"Look; I don't need to go home. I don't need an escort." Jen said, resting her elbows on the bar, staring at the blood conduit who was hanging around the shadow conduit. She threatened to paralyze the next person who referred to her as sidekick. A bit drastic."I was in Curdun Cay for 8 years. I think I can handle being a little tipsy." Jen suddenly placed a hand over her mouth, her face turning even paler. She looked like she was about to vomit.

"I got a couple ideas." Zeke said, finally putting down the glass he had been polishing for about an hour. "For one, the Syndicate ain't going to go walking around with their masks and suits, waving around shotguns. They're going to be disguised. They're going to be organized. They're going to be clever." He said. "First order of business is to scout the place out. Find out what they might be looking for." Zeke fixed his glasses, straightening his jacket. He looked like he was ready to run in with his pistol drawn.

Jen nodded, still looking pale. "Sooo, we have to go to the Natural History Museum? I'm all for it." Jen said, already walking up to the bar. "As long as we don't have to face The Syndicate. Also, free trip to see some dead dinosaurs."
