[Action: 840 Hastings Boulevard.]

[Another day, another crime. With the sun shining and birds singing, Cole gets right up out of bed and walks out of his room. He could use a good coffee or two before going to work.

...Except the woman awaiting him isn't his wife.

Confusion, puzzlement, and other such things flood onto the Detective's face. Okay, this

action one;

[morgiana had already passed by one of such photos, with the new face catching her attention. she manages to find the man just before he leaves, quietly observing him. she's holding one of the photos, expecting him to have questions.]

You're going out?

action one;

[ptsdetective]

[Out the door Cole is going... until he turns around and sees the girl.]

I need to find out more information of where I am.

[abovelions]

You're at 840 Hastings. Out there is Mayfield.

You'd get mixed answers out there, but might help.

[ptsdetective]

Are there any answers you could give me?

[She may be a child but Cole has had experiences with children knowing stuff.]

[abovelions]

[she nods, not unwilling to help as she was equally lost as he is now, when she first arrived.]

You were taken by the city, and have been assigned to this house to live in along with your assigned family.

There's no way to leave yet.

[ptsdetective]

So I have been reassigned to this town, and this home is my living quarters for the time being?

[That is exactly what Cole is thinking right now...]

[abovelions]

[well at least he seems to be taking this well!]

Yes, sort of. There is another like us, a boy, who will be your 'son' in this. I am the 'daughter'.

The woman is not like us though; it is best to ignore her.

[ptsdetective]

If that is the case, I will treat you as my own daughter. For right now though, I need to go to town to secure a few things.

[abovelions]

[she's not sure how she feels about that first comment, but he doesn't seem like a bad guy so far.]

Secure? Is everything alright?

[ptsdetective]

I would feel a lot better in proper clothing, plus I need to get myself some protection. [Cole flashes a smile.] It's necessary.

[abovelions]

I see; I won't stop you. Be careful of getting lost, please.

[ptsdetective]

I'll pay close attention to everything.

[With a nod, Cole makes his exit.]
