"Alright. That works, Zed. Uh... is there anything I can do in the meantime?" said Kamui.

"Oh, you can stay." Atsuko reassured David. "But be sure to keep up on your vitamins so that you don't come down with it yourself. Now, as for her, I'm going to mix up something I learned at St. Terence when I was working there. It was what we gave our life-flight guy when he got zapped with a cold. I'll be back in a bit." Then she turned to Xeron. "She'll survive, hon." With that, Atsuko trotted briskly back to the clinic.
Sonya and Huracan waited while Zed and Kamui conversed...

Xeron nodded.
"Okay. Thank you," said Xeron.
She watched Veronica for a little longer before she took off herself and was back to being airborne and looking for the last spot she saw Cesare. She hadn't seen Irene around today and wondered where the Captain was.

Irene, in the meantime, had followed Otter and Petra to the airport to make sure that they weren't getting out of working off their debt... She then called Xeron to let her know where she was.

Diane smiles, "Well, he's a real sweety, and he kind of kept himself away from girls at an early age learning his martial arts, then being a Texas ranger and all. You could say you're his first girlfriend," Diane looks at Ebony, "that is if you want to be."
---
Zed shrugs, "Welly's gonna need to get your measurements if we want these plates to be snug and not a nuisance, so you might want to pay a visit to my garage."
---
Robb beckons Clara over to the machine, in the process of using lasers to carve the new hood out of a tub of transparent liquid polymer. "The lasers intersect and heat up the polymer, which reacts and changes from a liquid to a solid."
---
Slaytor just endures... that Creep will be back, I'm gonna need a differrent tactic, I've got it... "Welly?"
Wellington stops, "aye?"
"I want something else to be done too... I want the 'Daishi' spoiler."
"lad, if it were anybody else, I'd say ye were daft. But aye, I'll add it"

David sighed, lowering a bit on his skids as he watched Veronica sleep. He hated seeing her so tired... he seriously hoped she would be all right. Closing his eyes, the former reporter sank into his thoughts. Nothing to do now but wait.
"Daddy's talked 'bout that team once'r twice. Not in a bad way, mind." Jean flashed a grin. "I've never actually been t'a race. Ain't got no mind for it."

Xeron heard where Irene was and responded with an affirmative along with what she was up to on the Cesare hunt. She went back to the last place she saw them. Obviously they weren't there. So she went to look again but she couldn't help to feel just a little sleepy. But she ignored that for now.

"Alright, I'll swing by later about those mesurments then. Anyways, thankz, Zed. I'll talk to you later," said Kamui.
She then turned back to Sonya.
"Sorry to keep you waiting again. Now where were we?" said Kamui.

Phoenix had remained silent through the conversation. The Trans Am's eyes were filled with anger, she resisted the urge to charge out and hunt down Luke herself.
She turned to Boost. "I... I need to... Argg." She stomped her tire. "I just want Luke gone."

Jean gave a sheepish smile, glancing off to one side. "Well... I count. Do math. Things like that. S'why I went inta accountin'. I do all th'financial stuff."
((And hey, Angie was supposed to send him along...))
And there was that bus again. Of course, this probably wasn't the best of times for a kid to be around in town (especially not Aaron, who was by nature very curious), but it wasn't like Sally could've gotten ahold of her stepmother before he got on the bus from Aberdeen.
When it stopped, the familiar blue nose poked out, but he wasn't smiling. He was keeping his mouth shut tight, frowning a little, scuffling his tires when the bus bade him a farewell and took off.
And so the little blue stocker/Porsche cross sat at the diner for a moment, looking considerably more downtrodden than usual.

"Girlfriend," muses Ebony, "I like the sound of that. And I do really like Slaytor. He is, as you say, really sweet."
And I think it's time for me to get back to dating again, thought Ebony, and drop my cold front. Maybe that was what kept Ryder here. I wasn't able to let go of his death.
And Ryder? The spirit himself watched from a corner, invisible to those in the room, listening to Ebony's thoughts. He had a slightly sad smile on his front.
{That's good, Ebony,} Ryder said to himself, {You're loosening up again. I won't be with you as much as I would want to be, but I'll be around every now and then. You has a life and someone special in your life. Don't give that up. I'm proud of you, Lil' Viper.}
~~~~~~~~~~
Boost nodded in agreement, "I know. It's the same with me too. And he just had to try to corner Ebony. I... I'm just worried about this whole situation."

"It was Huracan." Sonya answered. "I always knew he had something along the lines of an disassociative disorder, but last night really confirmed it. Some of the things I heard really wrenched me. What he might have gone through as a child..."
"Ready to stop for a little while?" Lyle asked Huntress.
Atsuko went over to Flo's and got some basic fuel mixture, with an orange flavor. Then she added some echinacea extract to it from her own personal store of herbal remedies that she was generally close-lipped about. Then, she brought it back over to Kamui's camp and placed it by Veronica. "See that she takes this when she wakes. If she does it now, it'll lessen the severity of the cold a bit."
And, it occurred to her, she should give it to the others too.
Tex accepted a room key and paid for two weeks, all in advance. "Thank you, Sally."

"Luke's gonna to get desperate now." She leaned into Boost. "He can't get at me, and he's lost his edge with Ebony. I don't know how far he's going to go anymore."

Diane smiles, "one thing I would like to suggest. Try and keep him outta too many fights, He's a great fighter but I know Welly doesnt want to have to patch him up all the time."
She finishes with a gloss clearcoat, letting it dry, then points a mirror in Ebony's direction, "So, what do you think?"
Ebony's paint is smooth and clear, like nothing had happenned.

The Porsche beamed, looking just as cheerful as ever. "Thank you!" She'd never really had anyone pay in advance before... but then again, she'd never had anyone this well-known staying there. "I hope the room's okay. I keep them up to the best of my ability."
Aaron made a face as he pulled away from the diner, looking around carefully for his sister, and still, he just didn't smile. Oh, he had his reasons... most little boys did when something like that was the case...

"Math, eh? well... I waz goo'd wit math befer I drop'd outta schoo'l ta help save my ol' man at da Express Tow Clinik in London," said Shroder, "So I'm ah uh... juzt guessin' dat ya juzt got 'ere? Whot brin'z ya 'ere, Jean?"

"Hmm.... Yeah, you were saying something about that. I dunno.... what if it's something similar to what happened to Darcy when she was growing up? It might be a longshot, though," said Kamui. _______________________________________
Xeron continued her search. She was out for a little while now and was starting to feel very tired.
"What's wrong with me today?" Xeron muttered.
She landed on top of a cliff for a moment to try to figure out what the problem was. It didn't take her long when she herself started coughing too.
Chrystler! I caught it too! And I'm in no shape to fly back....! Xeron thought.
Helo-colds were nasty things but even rougher on military helos. She sank lower on her landing gear. She did the one thing she could do. She flicked on her radio and hoped someone was listening for her call for help.
