[15:49] <Indie`> <sitting in the small bar on the ground floor of the inn, Indie sips on a martini>

[15:50] <Indie`> <her one arm, still bandaged, rests itself on the counter, the other one, stirs the martini, the olives going round and round in the glass>

[15:50] <Cheng_Lip`Fung> <He is dressed in his singlet and old jeans... it's been a while since he's taken them out. Under normal circumstances, he would have chosen his Armani shirt and slacks, but a trip to Retrotech now meant doing hard work, clearing rubble, rewiring and the other stuff>

[15:50] <Indie`> <she sits there trying to make sense of the resent turn of events.>

[15:52] <Cheng_Lip`Fung> <Walks out of his room at the Weeping Willow Inn and locks the door behind.>

[15:54] <Indie`> <Evan remains upstairs, perhaps sleeping, perhaps watching TV. she left him in order to have some time alone to digest everything. ..recently, her feelings have been more than professional around evan. What was once just supposed to be an easy job has turned into a muddle of conflicting priorities>

[15:54] <Cheng_Lip`Fung> <He walks up to the entrance of the inn, noticing Indie having a drink by the bar. He decides not to disturb her drinking>

[15:56] <Cheng_Lip`Fung> <As he opens the door to the inn, he notices stains on the floor... not very obvious to the naked eye but years of martial arts training had sharpened his senses alot>

[15:56] <Cheng_Lip`Fung> <He bend down to take a closer look..."blood">

[15:56] <Indie`> <she takes a glance at the gentleman who just passed, going through the huge database of faces in her head she recognizes him from retrotech. she stiffens and hopes he doesn't recognize her>

[15:57] <Cheng_Lip`Fung> <He looks to where the trail of blood leads... the staircase... he follows it...>

[15:59] <Cheng_Lip`Fung> <He notices eyes from across the room... but he leaves it for now... if someone was in trouble... that would be much more important than some nosy young lady>

[16:00] <Cheng_Lip`Fung> <He follows the trail off blood up to the highest floor with only one room... the door is a open>

[16:01] <Cheng_Lip`Fung> <he remember's something the owner of the inn said about the dangerous couple that had just checked in...>

[16:02] <Cheng_Lip`Fung> <He peeps into the room and sees Evan Cross sitting on the bed... watching television it seems...>

[16:02] <Indie`> <continues to stir her drink>

[16:04] <Cheng_Lip`Fung> <The man is falling half asleep it seems... he sneaks into the room and the trail of blood seems to have ended in the washroom...>

[16:05] <Cheng_Lip`Fung> <"someone was injured"... he steps into the washroom and sees a lot of blood stained tissue paper and bandages... and notices a bottle which what he presumes to be poison>

[16:06] <Cheng_Lip`Fung> A very dangerous couple it seems <he peers out into the main room and Evan is fast asleep>

[16:07] <Cheng_Lip`Fung> <he walks out of the room and down to the ground floor of the inn>

[16:10] <Cheng_Lip`Fung> <As he walks down the stairs he notices the lady stealing a look at him and notices a bandage on her arm...>

[16:13] <Cheng_Lip`Fung> <Slowly walks down to the ground floor... and goes up to the bar...>

[16:13] <Cheng_Lip`Fung> Bartender, a gin tonic please...

[16:14] <Cheng_Lip`Fung> <He sits one chair away from Indonesia>

[16:16] <Indie`> <looks at cheng quickly and decides it's time to be off>

[16:17] <Cheng_Lip`Fung> [Bartender] here you go, sir...

[16:18] <Indie`> <she walks away, and as she does, her bandage, having come lose falls off...she in her hurry doesn't pick it up>

[16:19] <Cheng_Lip`Fung> <"Oh no you don't" He notices the bandage... he picks it up and studies it. He's been in the Retaliation long and he knows the colour of poison when he sees it>

[16:19] <Cheng_Lip`Fung> Excuse me, miss? <Runs after Indie>

[16:21] <Indie`> <sees cheng running after her and runs up the stairs trying to escape>

[16:23] <Cheng_Lip`Fung> <He chases after her but let's her have her way in taking the lead...>

[16:25] <Indie`> <hides in the linen room where the maids store the extra towels and bedsheets>

[16:26] <Cheng_Lip`Fung> <notices her> Miss? Miss?... <he delibrately walks pass the room and making as if she's lost him>

[16:26] <Cheng_Lip`Fung> <Very silently he walks back and waits by the side of the door>

[16:27] <Cheng_Lip`Fung> <"She has to come out sooner or later. Let's play a game of patience">

[16:28] <Indie`> <sits down in a basket of dirty linens> <holds her nose>

[16:30] <Cheng_Lip`Fung> <Since he has time... he waits as he examines the bandage... he doesn't recognize it to be poison... the colour is too faint... probably mixed in with blood but if that was so... this lady would be dead by now...>

[16:32] <Indie`> <sneezes>

[16:32] <Cheng_Lip`Fung> <grins>

[16:32] <Cheng_Lip`Fung> <He notices a housekeeper walking up to him...>

[16:33] <Cheng_Lip`Fung> [Hosuekeeper] <in a humble tone>Sir... <walks up to the room and reaches into her pockets for keys>

[16:36] <Indie`> <thinks: shit it's a maid>

[16:37] <Cheng_Lip`Fung> [Hosuekeeper] <Reaches for the doorknob and notices it is unlocked. Opens it up...> Oh, by Jesus! <notices Indie hiding in yesterdays dirty bed sheets>

[16:37] <Indie`> <has almost passed out by the smell, but she runs out and pushes both the maid and lip fung aside>

[16:38] <Indie`> <she runs up to her room and locks the door>

[16:38] <Cheng_Lip`Fung> <"not again">

[16:39] <Cheng_Lip`Fung> <Slowly walks up to the upstairs room. Knocks the door>

[16:40] <Indie`> <ignores the knocking>

[16:40] <Cheng_Lip`Fung> Miss? Miss?

[16:41] <Cheng_Lip`Fung> Urrr... you dropped your bandage...

[16:41] <Cheng_Lip`Fung> <Continues to knock>

[16:42] <Indie`> <at that moment she's already wrapping a new one on her arm>

[16:42] <Indie`> <she still ignores the knocking>

[16:42] <Cheng_Lip`Fung> I have feeling you might be sick... I think you should get a doctor...

[16:43] <Cheng_Lip`Fung> <"oh well">

[16:43] <Cheng_Lip`Fung> <Walks away from the door... we continue this game some other time>

[16:44] <Cheng_Lip`Fung> <"This bandage could be used for a DNA match" Tucks it into his pocket>

[16:44] <Cheng_Lip`Fung> <whispers> Bye Bye
