Raine started to doze off a little, her eyes fluttering slightly.

(((Back from work.)))
Phoenix gently nudged Falcon back towards the crystal chamber, holding back from bolting away and trying not to panic, afterall her picture had been plastered all over the news and papers.
~~~~~~
Meanwhile in Vegas...
The Mercedes parked behind Grayston's desk piled up a few papers had the television on in the background listening in on the conference, where on Earth was that girl?
(((The conference is live right?)))

(((((OOC: Yep, it's live... even a certain Supra is watching too... XD)))))
Get him away now, Ebony thought, looking as if she was almost going to go into panic mode as her son was right there in a place where he was not supposed to be at the moment.
~~~~~
Falcon just thought that this was just an innocent little game and giggled happily. But he wanted his mother.

<<< Yup>>>
There were snickers in the crowd at Falcon's antics, which diffused some of the tension. As he was herded away, a cameraman moved in to get a view of the koi fish that were swimming in the pond.
Tess was becoming quite aware of the wayward baby, but kept on talking and trying to keep everyone's attention elsewhere.
Kendall touched against Ebony's side, attempting to keep her from going into panic mode.

"Falcon, Mama's busy," Phoenix said still nudging Falcon back into the tunnels. "Come with Nix and we'll look at the pretty rocks."
~~~~~
The Mercedes looked up that moment and dropped the cigar he had sneaked from Grayston's stash. There was no mistaking that T/A's profile, scars, and of cource those pale blue eyes...

Now Ebony's maternal instincts going haywire. She was torn between helping to get her son out of there and staying put so that she'd stay out of the spotlight. Feeling Kendall's touch against her side calmed her down a little bit.
~~~~~
But Falcon really wanted his mother. He whimpered a little bit as he was nudged away from where he knew she was at.

"I know, I know," Phoenix coaxed Falcon as they reached the crystal chamber. "She'll come down, I promise."
~~~~~~
Quickly piling papers into his compartment, the Mercedes was on the phone booking the first flight that got him the closest to that mountain as possible.

As they arrived back at the Crystal Chamber, Falcon chirped sadly and scrambled over to where his brother was dozing, nipping him to wake him up.
Ricardo looked on. "How far did he go?"
~~~~~
Ebony didn't move. She was trying to calm herself down, even after seeing her son over by the koi pond and getting shooed away by Phoenix. Then a horrible thought struck her. Oh, Chrysler, they saw her...
~~~~~
Delfina had been looking on, but was trying to keep a neutral face while Tess was trying to distract the press until Phoenix and Falcon were gone.

"He went to the koi pond again," Phoenix said now trembling. "They... They got a look at me Rico, I sensed the camera on us!"

Doc stayed with Raine, watching her fall asleep.
"What's wrong, Ebony?" Kendall asked.
Ondine gave him "SHHHHH!" signals across Ebony's hood. Darcy moved across to screen the exit of Phoenix and Falcon and distract the camera crews. She had a striking visual profile and for once, she used it.
Tess kept talking while this was going on. She came from a show business family, albeit a very wealthy one, and she was a pro. "... now, if you wish, we can show you other areas of the complex, and some of the animals we've brought with us..." The media was always ready for another sensation.

Ricardo just stood up and padded over to nuzzle her. "That's going to be a problem. Don't worry. I'm here. Ebs is also. So are all the humans."
~~~~~
Ebony was breathing quietly, trying to stay calm.
~~~~~
Delfina was more than eager to take this group out of the center court as quick as possible.

Raine relaxed slowly as she felt her father tucking her in bed and gently nuzzling her hand, letting his warm breath lull her to sleep.

Tess glanced towards Delfina, signalling that they could guide everyone out to the other areas as she waved to the media pack. "This way please, and we can stop at a couple of other places along the way." She was leading them to the conservatory, one of the other rooms that could accommodate a few cars.
"They're going," Kendall said to Ebony. Darcy went along with Tess and Cole.
Julian slipped back to the clinic area by a few reliable ways he knew, popping in at the archway.
"What do you do, teleport?" Doc asked. "Where did Lightning and Strip go?"
"They went off to one of the other empty caverns." Julian answered. "The dread media horde will be enough hassle as it is without asking just how the hell two famous stock cars just happened to show up here."
"Good." Doc said.
Julian glanced at Raine, who seemed to be drifting off, and stepped gingerly over to the corner to take a seat.

"But what if he's watching?" Phoenix asked, clearly on the verge of panicking. "What if he sends another demon we can't stop after me? He's going to know where I am for sure!"
