Elaine had dropped Clare off at the Blackstone Hotel, fully confident that Harry's old mentor would take care of any threats, veiled or obvious, that would try to harm any of the group. She was unsure about the vampire though, although she had seen him take off somewhere with Karrin Murphy. She figured the officer could keep him in line.

She had set out to figure this city out after confirming with Harry that he had no idea what was going on either. She had decided to stay mostly in the downtown area - after all, the crowds (or what could have passed for crowds) were there. It only took her a half-hour to realize that no one was the wiser about the strange events taking place just along the lake.

She sighed, rounding a corner onto an empty street. This made no sense, and she wasn't liking the complete and utter lack of answers. Drumming her fingers on her purse as it bounced against her thigh, she caught sight of a dark-haired woman standing further down the sidewalk. Elaine recognized her - she was one of the people in the group at the Cloud Gate.

"Hey."

Ziva heard the voice behind her, and had to automatically stop herself from reaching for a weapon. Habits died hard, and she didn't want to make enemies as soon as she arrived in this town. She turned to look over her shoulder before fully turning around...another ingrained reaction.

She needed to stop that, sometime.

"Hello." She said. The woman looked familiar, she had probably seen her face at that weird sculpture that everyone had arrived near.

Elaine held up her hands immediately to show that she didn't hold a weapon, just in case. Not that a wizard really needed a weapon to be dangerous, but she thought it to be a peaceful gesture, regardless.

"Getting a feel of the city?" she asked, approaching the other woman, still keeping a sharp eye on the buildings and streets surrounding them.

Ziva relaxed when she saw the gesture. "As much as I can, considering the foggy barrier blocking out some of it." She really didn't know much about the city, so if most, or half, or whatever amount of the city was blocked by the fog, she really didn't know.

"Are you from around here?" She asked, wondering if this woman knew more about the city than she did at this point.

Elaine shook her head. "I've been here a few times, but not enough to feel completely comfortable walking around." She shrugged with a half-hearted smile though. "Can't be any worse than L.A. though."

She looked south, where she knew the fog started the closest to their point. "I wonder about that barrier..."

"I have been getting a bad feeling about that barrier." Ziva commented, looking towards the south. "I have been walking along it since I started exploring, but I have not gone into it. Besides the fact that it is out of place, I think, it seems strange."

She stared at the barrier. It looked like normal fog, but it didn't move inward, something a normal fog might do, at least, it didn't move to her eyes. Very, very strange.
