[ModNote: Continued from The Ambush.] *Walter and Leytan carry Midnight into the Wolf's Howl through a back door, there is no longer a guard there, with the chaos surrounding the investigation then all evidence from the Wolf's Howl has been gathered, no one comes in there yet. Even the landlord, Dal, hasn't been in since the 'incident'. Midnght is covered by a cloth and the way they are carrying her makes it look like they were carrying a pile of rugs. They lay her down on one of bar's tables. Walter smiles in triumph and turns to Leytan.* "Well old boy, you put on a jolly good show! All I need to do now is contact Mr.Hakonatu and we can get a couple of chaps to escort the good lady to Hakonatu. As for what happens then well.." *Walter tails off in a sort of 'you can guess the rest' way, Leytan looks a little skeptical about this. Walter can't think of how to reassure him properly.* "After such a tip top job old boy Mr.H will surely wish to offer you further work, you have proved a wonderful asset to his staff. I'll put in a very good word with him, i'll just go and contact him." *Walter heads behind the bar to what was the kitchen area, leaving Leytan alone with the unconcious Midnight.*

*Leytan sat down beside Midnight, he bound her feet and hands just in case she tried to run.*
*After a while she began to stire, Leytan quickly went and got her some water & mixxed in a powder he had got from his belt buckle, the water frothed and fizzed.*
"Here drink some of this."
*He said putting the cup to Midnights lips.*
"It won't tatse nice but it will help to clear your head."

*With a foggy head and a million rather chaotic thoughts going through her mind Midnight's blue eye's open, still slightly glazed over due to the drug and the spirit-walk. Before she took a sip....* Why should I ...trust what...you say..? *Her voice is still drowsy and pauses as her mind tries to remember words.*

*Looked Midnight deep in her eyes.*
"Because I'm telling the truth."
"Just take a sip, it will help I promiss."

*Midnight reluctantly takes a sip and almost spits the liquid back out.After a couple of unpleaant sips she stops drinking.*
That is foul! What in the world is that?
*While talking Midnight tries to move....*
*Sighs*
You know I'm really begining to believe that Wolfeneden's men are a kinky lot...

"It's just water with some crushed Green tiped Shark bone added. Its the antidote to the blood of The same kind of Shark. The Stuff that knocked you out."
*Laughs at the Kinky comment.*
"I do appolagise Midnight but, I have to protect my paycheck."

*Though the knock out drug is losing it's hold, names are still hazy especially names she's never heard before as far as she can remember anyway.* Never heard of him...I don't think. but then again I haven't got the worlds greatest memory right now. Is this why you got involved at the bout? Trying to find my defenses? *Remebers Janis back on the road to the school and groans loudly.* DAMNIT!! He's going to think I've done a runner again....

"Oh I dought that and even if he did if my insticats are correct about what these "Fine Chaps" (Mocking Walter's upper class British accent) have in mind, I don't think he'll be worrying about it for 2 long."
"Shame realy he was a good man even if me and him realy if ever saw eye to eye."

Well I hate to be the one to burst your bubble but why would this Hakonatu guy kidnap me and possibly kill my ...
*Pauses for a word for Janis.*
*Thinks* What is he to me? Friend? Pain? Companion or just stubbon sneaky mule...
Companion then let me go? Or keep me prisoner forever. In which case I choose death a person shouldn't be caged.
*Pauses...*
The only way your going to know I have a chance of surviving this is by letting me go and now....

"I'm affrid I can't do that Midnight."
"I have a contract to full fill and I always see a job threw when I'm paid."
*looks at Midnight again.*
"Such a shame. Your a heck of a young lady, you certainly have my respect as a person and as a warrior."
"Not many people can survive being an Outcast and not be bitter about it."
"I should know"
*He says a bit quiater.*

*Midnight looks more than taken aback. Not many people knew of her past and the few that did know were there at the time.*
How do you know that I'm a outcast?
*Hears his quieter comment and looks him in the eye's for the first time taking a proper long hard look at him.*
Your a Atlantean...
*Thinks of the freezing he did on her.*
yet have the powers only those of Winterian blood have....
