It had been a long day. A long day of looking over her shoulder, of trying to make sure that everyone was safe. A day that left her drained and exhausted and worn beyond most days in Chicago. It was why she had agreed to meet Arthur, why she had texted the name of the bar to John.

Tired, she walked into the bar and closed the umbrella she had opened over her head to keep the rain away, shaking it out and leaning it near the door. None of the ghost patrons would bother it. She spotted Arthur, his suit bringing back an odd pang in her chest as she approached him, sitting down in her too common jeans and clingy peasant blouse. So non-lawyer for her.

"Hello." It sounded lame, even to her as she slipped into the booth, her back to the wall so she could see everything at once.

Arthur moves off his stool and goes to sit across from her at the booth.

"Hello again, Ms. Walters." And he's not quite sure what to do now, but he had invited her so he had better think of something.

When was the last time he had had to provide comfort for someone? Cobb? Lot of good that did even when he did try.

Jennifer waited for a ghost waitress to leave and return with a double scotch on the rocks for her before she spoke. She knew her voice was tired as she looked over at him, swishing the ice around in her highball glass.

"Call me Jennifer, Art. This Ms. Walters crap isn't going to help me today." She said quietly, shaking her head. "Ask what you want. I'm pretty numb right now."

"It's habit Jenn, sorry." He apologizes just as quietly. He pinches the bridge of his nose.

"You said your friends are in trouble, but...other than Megamind and the nightmares I haven't seen anything troublesome around here so, it's not that I don't believe you, but...I don't know what I should be preparing for."
