After the meeting in the basement, Cav was still only marginally interested in the overall plan.
It was less important to him how they were going to make it happen, than the actual making it happen.
He just wanted to get 'Steps out. Whatever else came of this wasn't his problem.
He'd mentioned for Goblin to meet him on the room when he got a chance, and he was waiting for him now, lighting a cigarette.

Goblin climbed up to the roof, completely full of dread, which wasn't exactly a new feeling for him lately, and sat down beside Cav, already lighting a cigarette of his own. "This is gonna be something I really don't want to know, isn't it?"
((Because I'm totally ignorant of Photoshop/things in general--should I send the actual pictures or links to them?))

"Prob'ly." He let out a stream of smoke, leaning back against the wall, stretching his legs out in front of him. "But better ya hear it from me than somebody else." He glanced over at him.

Goblin breathed in a lungful of smoke and gave him a look. "Just say it, Cav."

"Well, good news is, Script's prob'ly still in love with you. That's why Skittery went into the bunkroom spittin' fire. He'd--" he paused for a split second, but figured Goblin should know. "He slept with her. Wraith found out and Script begged her not to tell you, 'cause she didn't want you to be mad. 'Parently, Skittery thought she was over you. She's not. So, it pissed him off."

And it was times like this that the ability to hide your emotions really came in handy. Goblin looked away from Cav, out over the city, and spent a good minute or two processing this information. Imagining Maggie with Skittery. Trying really hard not to. Planning how he was going to kill his sister, while realizing that it was definitely for the best that she hadn't told him.
"Oh," he finally said.

Cav let him have a moment, taking a few drags from his cigarette. Then he just put it all out there. "She ran off, Goblin."

And that was the end of calm and collected Goblin. "She what!?" he demanded, whirling around and dropping the cigarette.

Cav kept his voice easy, trying not to get him any more riled up than he was going to get himself, naturally. "I heard Skittery talkin' to Specs. The guy's freakin' out, I'll say that much." He licked his lips. "They got into a fight over you. Skittery took a walk to cool off. When he got back, there was a note, and she was gone."

"A note explaining exactly where she is?" he asked hopefully, without expecting for a second that it would be that easy. But he had to try and examine this situation logically, because he was this close to jumping off the roof and launching a search of the entire city.

"Note was cryptic, apparently, but I don't know what it said. Not a location, anyway." That was a lie. He did know what the note said. 'I wish I'd met you first.' He figured that maybe Goblin didn't need to know everything. "Any idea where she'd go?"

((I am really, really glad he didn't tell him what the note said.))
"No! She can't just--what was she--" He took a deep breath. Logic. Right. "Her dad's. She might go to her dad's, but I have no idea where he lives. Or if she even got there safely. You sure she didn't say anything else to Skittery?"

((Cav might be brutally honest most of the time, but he's not totally heartless. Oh, man, I can't even IMAGINE what that would have done to poor Goblin  )) He shook his head. "Last time he saw her, he left her cryin' on the couch in the parlor." |

((I feel like he'll find out eventually. And it might actually be what drives him into Sammie's arms.))
"He left her crying on the couch?" Goblin's eyes narrowed. "Okay," he said quietly, "now I have a problem with him."
But that wasn't his top priority right now. He was already on his feet, heading for the ladder. "I'm going to look for her. Don't ask me where, but I'm going. And if you can find my sister...which is usually impossible...tell her what happened. She's got more of a knack for tracking people down."

((Mrah, it's so good! Oh, lord, what if he finds Script without telling Skittery and she's the one that tells him..!))
He nodded, but got up. "Are you seriously just gonna go now? Tonight? Goblin, you don't even know where to look."
