(((((OOC: Yeah, sorry... I'm having network problems and might not be online after 8PM/Eastern tonight... I'll need some puppeting for that if I'm unable to get back on... but I'm on a library computer right now... so I'll see what I can do with what little time I have...)))))
Ebony was depressed and upset from her ordeal with running and with the demon. She still lay huddled in a corner, shielding the twins with her side-spikes. She was hungry, but nothing would make her move away from her current position. Only a few people could get her to withdraw her spikes and one of them was in the room with her right now.
"It's morning...?" she asked faintly, "There's not going to be anything high-stress happening... is there...?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Amber groaned and shook her front. "Dad...?" she asked, "What happened...? What am I doing here...? I can't even remember anything..."
She paused, "I feel funny..."

(OOC: Yeah.... I've been a smidge busy. Wanna know why? Two words "Red Steel!" My sis gave me a copy of it for the Wii and wow! Is it ever fun! Reminds me of the good ol' days of "Perfect Dark" for Nintendo 64.... only on a whole bucket load of nitro! XD I played through a bit of the story mode and then I chased my sis's power ranger butt through one of the dojo levels. So yeah.... lots of fun! ^^ )
Kamui looked up from her corner and saw LaForge with the lawyers there.
"Oh good! Now let me get crack-a-lacking at Glimmer's hood with my blade-fan!" said Kamui as she got up. _____________________________________________________
Nightshade gave Veronica the 'okay' with what she was doing as she headed out. He still couldn't help but to worry about her a little bit.

"Darlin'... Norman and Flint... they drugged you and took you underground along with Slick and Joltsen." Strip explained, "We barely got you guys out before the place caved in on us. Ebony and her local friends helped out a great deal with that, which reminds me... I have to call in again at some point."
"If everything is in order, we can get you out now." the older attorney, a dignified Mercedes, glanced at Kamui and then the guards. They opened the door.
"That's what we're making sure of, Ebony." Ondine replied as she heard a soft knock on the door. She slid it open and held it just long enough to accept a pack of take-out cans and tip the delivery guy. Then, she brought some over to Ebony.
"Strip might call back a little later. He's still at the hospital."
Veronica had cast a trace-spell on the Agusta before she'd left. The police helo's whereabouts would be trackable for a few hours, and she now had a good idea of the woman's favorite break-time watering holes. At the East Dade heliport, she was waiting...

LaForge handed Kamui her Blade-fan. She rested it on her roof.
"Thanks. Greatly appreciate this. Now if you excuse me, I have a German racer that needs a little bit of killing," said Kamui.
LaForge sighed.
"Aw great. She's all worked up again....." said LaForge with a sigh.

The lawyers rolled their eyes... "At least TRY to keep out of earshot of the police station when you make such statements, Miss Exan."

Kamui shrugged.
"Alright. Alright. Fine. But I'm totally NOT scared of these guys. Including that ARROGANT whats-his-face that arrested me," said Kamui.

Not long after the incident, Sgt. Kim was back at the station. He had a cautious grin on his fascia, as the police were still looking for more suspects. One of them, the Viper, was - much to his disappointment - on the verge of being cleared despite the fact that she had a nice long record as a member of one of America's most notorious racing gangs.
One of these days...

((OOC: With some racers already going to Bristol, should the banquet be in Bristol?))
When Joltsen woke up, the first thing that came to his mind was to consider if the events of the later day had really happened. Unfortunately, he realized it had all happened. He silently sighed to himself, and spoke to Wallace about how he was. After getting some instructions from his managers about how to 'talk' about the kidnapping to the press, such as never mencion who the kidnappers were, and not say that Kamui, or the 'Black Viper' was innocent. Joltsen had settled on simply saying "I do not wish to talk about it." to the press. He would though deny any rumors about being tortured.
Joltsen drove slowly in the hallways, looking around. He just wanted to give his thanks, and since Strip had also been hospitalized, Joltsen figured Strip would be the first stop. He was also curious about Ebony, and Strip would know more about her since they had arrived together.
When he passed Amber's room, he realized that Amber and Strip would want some privacy, so he drove to the fuel dispensers nearby. As looking at the selection, he sighed realizing that hospitals never carried what racecars got on daily basis. He quickly got a small can of 95 average, knowing there was a large can of V-Power in the Nitroade equipment trailer.

Kamui sauntered out and on her way, she saw Sgt. Kim. She offered him a mean glare.
Oh! One day, you'll get yours! You'll get it where the sun don't shine except in an outdoor clinic! Kamui thought sourly.

(((((OOC: Maybe it's held at a location that Tex chooses...)))))
"Are they okay?" asked Amber, "What happened to you, Dad? You look like a mess."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The twins woke up and started pawing at Ebony's side for attention.
"He remembered me...? I thought nobody noticed me slipping away..."
Ebony shifted on her mat, but still would not leave her children alone, to take the can that Ondine offered to her. Withdrawing her spikes, she fed the twins first before she fed herself. As a mother, the twins' needs always came before her own.
"I don't want to be thrown in the Impound..." she took cautious sip from the gas can, "Don't want to be separated from the twins anymore..."

"I was last in line as we were getting out, and got half buried." Strip explained. "Kamui dug me out. Ebony and some of her local friends were also in on it, and we'll have to remember to thank them when we're out of here. Kamui, however, got into a bit of trouble with the police, and some grandstanding idiot with a badge who wanted a celebrity arrest. Tex sent some lawyers to bail her out."
"We don't think anyone saw you leave the scene." Ondine assured her. "And our lawyers are sharks." She paused as a thought occured to her. " Is there anyone you want to call while we're here?"

Amber blinks, "But everything's being taken care of, right? And how much longer am I going to stay in the hospital? I'm supposed to be Sapph's crew chief."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ebony sighs. "The ones I know that I could call are Zed and the Inspire crew... I'm also a part of that crew too... but I don't know... although, Slaytor might come..."

Kamui finally got out of the station.
"Thanks, LaForge. I appreciate what you did and what you tried to do for me back there," said Kamui.
"Oh! That's no problem. But please try and keep out of trouble. With Sargent Kim, he'll be all too happy to find some way of making you guilty and tossing you back in there again. And geez! You should do something about those cuts and gashes you have! They look---" said LaForge before he was cut off.
"Hey! I'll be fine! You worry way too much. Anyways, I'll see you later, LaForge," said Kamui.
LaForge sighed. He just couldn't keep Kamui away from anything remotely dangerous long enough. The best he could do is try to offer up some form of safety net.
"See you later, Kamui. Please take care," said LaForge.
With that, Kamui left to return to the stadium. But she paused a moment and looked to the lawyers who helped bail her out.
"Yo. Can you tell me where Mr. Weathers and Amber went? I wanna see how they're doing," said Kamui.

"They're at the South Miami Hospital." the Mercedes answered. "We can go there now if you want. Mr. Dinoco will be meeting us there."
"Slaytor would definitely want to know what's going on." Ondine frowned.
