((Sorry! My Internet is blitzing for no reason.  )) Wraith wasn't looking forward to seeing the cop again, but she had to talk to him one more time. With Goblin home safe, she wasn't sure exactly what compelled her to tell him what she'd found out--the need to uphold at least part of their deal, a sense of closure, or maybe the slightest hint of guilt about what she was planning to do. But for whatever reason, she was going to do it. She came down from the bunkroom, intending to track him down today, and walked past the couch, where a couple of kids were passed out cold. Must've partied too hard last night.She stopped dead, turned around, and did a double-take. The guy passed out on the couch was none other than the undercover cop. She glanced at the girl beside him and winced, wondering how many secrets he'd gotten out of her while they were out drinking. "Hey!" she said aloud. "You awake?" |

Risk winced, groaning as he tried to disentangle himself from Macbeth on the couch. He cracked an eye open, suddenly hating the sunshine that was streaming into the lobby.
"Wh-- hey, uh... blonde girl... er, Wraith?" muttered Risk, sitting up and looking at her with half-opened eyes.

"Yes. That would be my name," she said coolly, not showing any mercy despite his obvious hangover. "Should we take this someplace private, or is she as dead to the world as she looks?" she asked, gesturing at the girl.

Risk incoherently muttered something under his breath about a headache as he pushed himself off the couch. His hand over his eyes, he reached over to hold Wraith's shoulder. "Just lead me to somewhere that's darker," he murmured, still trying to regain his bearings.

Well, there was one thing to be said for the state he was in--she definitely wasn't afraid of him at the moment. Sighing deeply, she guided him across the lobby and under the stairs, into a sketchy and shadowy alcove, where, of course, she felt right at home.
"I found out who your sister is," she announced with no preamble.

Risk obediently followed, rubbing his eyes before finally looking at Wraith. His ears perked up, however, when he heard what she just said.
"Y-you... what?" he muttered, looking at her in amazement. He didn't think she was going to actually find her, let alone this fast.

"It was a freak accident involving a deranged opium-addled Irishman, but it's a pretty sure thing anyway. I can actually see the resemblance," she admitted.
And some part of her had wanted to laugh hysterically ever since she found out. If he knew what his precious sister had been up to...but of course, she sure as hell wasn't telling him that.

"Opium Irishman?" repeated Risk in confusion. He was growing more anxious and nervous by the minute. If Wraith really found her sister...
"Wait, so did you really find her?" he asked, trying to make sense of everything despite his pounding headache.

"Said I would, didn't I?" she muttered. "You held up your end of the deal, I held up mine. So how much did you get out of that girl last night?" she asked sardonically.
((Yes, she's going to keep him waiting. She's just that mean.))

"Stop changing the subject!" growled Risk, grabbing her arms. "Where is she?" He looked at her with daggers in his eyes. He wasn't about to wait now when he knew that this little girl knew where his sister was all along.
((Angry!Risk!))

"Right now? Prob'ly up in the bunkroom, asleep. I could go tell her who you are. All of who you are. Don't. Touch. Me." She spoke a lot more quietly than he had, but with just as much fury.

"She's here?" said Risk, his eyes widening as he let go of Wraith's arms. His head began to swirl, both from last night's alcohol and reality hitting him in the face. She was here all along?

She backed up to the edge of the shadows, where she was in a position to go flying out the door if he came near her again. "She's here. It's Ershey."

Risk's hand flew to his head. This was too much information at once... or too much information when he needed to take care of his hangover.
"Ershey..." he repeated. "Ershey?"

A frightening possibility occurred to Wraith. "Please tell me you two haven't...done anything."
