Kingdom Lost - Episode 2 "Department 7"

[Tokiwong]

Sakura gives Darius a brave smile and a wave as he heads out into the hallway, she stops him before he leaves though, "Can we do dinner tomorrow instead of tonight? I don't think I'd be really good company." she says wistfully.

Darius nods, "I understand."

Once the other detective is gone she looks puzzled at her older twin's expression. "Whats wrong Koga?" she asks him. When he and her father start to argue she lets out a low growl, "Do you two really have to fight? I mean this is nuts can't you get along for a little while?" she asks before she stands up and moves are Kogas bed to look out the window, where her father and her brother can't see her face as she does a calming exercise.

She considers telling her father whats going on, but she dismisses it rather quickly, while it may not be right, she can't help but feel that Koga was shot because she told him and she didn't want anyone to hurt her father.

Koga sighs, “I think you guys should go, I need some rest. Thanks for coming though, I just want to be alone for now. Alright? I know you are both worried about me, but I don’t nee either of you to fix this, the cops can handle it, and I will make sure I take care of myself.”

Father does not say anything, and just folds his arms across his chest.

“Don’t give m that look Sakura,” he says without even looking, “and before you beat yourself over the head, I highly doubt this has anything to do with Department 7, you being psychic or anything like that. Although it may seem like that,” he says laying back.

Father finally speaks, “What are you talking about?”

“Oh she didn’t tell you yet,” he looks to Sakura, “you might want to have hr show you pops, it’s easier that way.”

Dexter

Alicia turns, “Yeah just a little slow on the uptake, but I think they said they were going to bring something back for you. It sounds like you guys had a fun time with the professor. Care to talk about it, or is this hush hush stuff, like Department 7?”

"I thought his name was Damien or something... but then I got that off South Park so it may not be applicable," James shrugs.

"No, I was talking about Gabriel," she laughs, "you know sharp teeth... red skin... tail... all very unnormal things."

"Brilliant, cos diet food is the devil," James says as he enters, "What should we get for Dexter? With our help his arteries can get clogged that little bit sooner."

"Well I have never actually been here," she says walking in, a doorbell sounding. Inside it has the look of a clean old-school diner, the only peculiarity is that everyone inside both customers and the staff stand about five feet high and are very stocky in build, it wouldn't be odd if everyone didn't look like that. Many of the men look like bikers, and have decent length beards while some men, have their heads shaved, and there seem to be differing ethnic groups, but again they all have similar builds.

Selene looks around, "Uhh, cute place?"

A stocky woman with red hair in a bun approaches, "Can I get you two a booth for two?" she says in a husky voice, that borders on deep...

Dexter shrugs. "Not much to say, really. She was fine but about as friendly as a Siamese cat. We think she might be in contact with my cousin, but we're not sure." He leans back in his chair and puts his feet on the desk, staring at the ceiling for a moment. "I feel like we're missing something in all this, but I don't know what."

Alicia nods, “What do you mean by missing something? Like a piece of the puzzle? It sounds like a few pieces are missing actually. I mean your cousin just seems pretty weird. So do you think your cousin, the murders, the script, and Department 7 are all related?”

"I don't know," Dexter says simply. "I suspect Department 7 either knows something about the murders or is doing their own investigation. The weird script fragment, and therefore Krista, probably is related to the murders so that should be our first priority. As far as Myron...I hate to admit it but you're right. He is weird. But as the saying goes 'Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're NOT out to get you'." He sits back up and starts typing again. "Only one way to find out, I guess."

[OOC: Ok, time to get serious. We need to get somebody besides Selene into position on campus. Dexter will hack Pepperdine's system to create a new student there. He'll start laying the groundwork now, but not create the new student until he has a chance to consult with the others. We need to decide which of us will do it. I'm thinking Sakura, but I want their opinions.]

"No, I was talking about Gabriel," she laughs, "you know sharp teeth... red skin... tail... all very unnormal things."

"Ah yes, the demonic fellow, very... demon-like," James says, kinda unsure how else to describe Gabriel.

Selene looks around, "Uhh, cute place?"

Is it me or do these people look like that pizza delivery guy...

A stocky woman with red hair in a bun approaches, "Can I get you two a booth for two?" she says in a husky voice, that borders on deep...

James glances around, and starts to feel like the sore thumb he appears to stick out like.

"You do take-away?" he asks, not wanting to make Dexter wait too long for his lunch, but also not entirely sure whether staying would be a wise choice.

Selene rolls her eyes, "Yeah..."

"You do take-away?" he asks, not wanting to make Dexter wait too long for his lunch, but also not entirely sure whether staying would be a wise choice.

The waitress scrunches her nose, "What you don't want to sit down?" She shoves James towards a booth, "take a seat child, you need some good food, I reccomend the Franky Joe's Sloppy Special! Now that is good eating, what do you say?"

Selene turns to James, "Sounds good," as she takes a seat.

Dexter

Alicia listens, “Sounds like you’re going to do some cool stuff again. But you are right just because you are paranoid does not mean thy are not after you, chances are you are like on the cusp of some grand conspiracy to cover up the alien insurgency, you know the book I am reading totally blows the lid off what the government is up to.”

She looks to continue when the ringer on the door sounds, as someone walks into the waiting room out front. Alicia sighs, “Looks like we got ourselves another client.”

“You want to handle it, Dexter?” she says looking into video image from the waiting room. A tall dark skinned female stands out front with long blonde hair, and shades. She wears her long hair in a bun, and has a killer black power suit on.

She casually glances up to the camera, and then takes a seat and crosses her legs.

"Okeydoke," Dexter says. He grabs a spiral notebook and pen from his desk and slouches toward the door. He glances at the monitor as he walks by. "Looks like she's got some money. At this rate I'll be able to get that PDA I wanted." He steps through the door closing it behind him and addresses the woman. "Hi. Can I help you?"

The lady looks up and stands, “Yes I believe you may, I am looking for a private investigator to do some research on a specific individual. Your firm has a positive reputation and I would like to request your services, if possible.”

She speaks in a smooth voice, and there is a slight inflection to her speech. An accent that at the moment he cannot place. Her lips are a dark shade of purple, and she leaves the shades on as she speaks. She has a perfect slim frame, and her skin is ebon and flawless. Her ears are elfin, and pointed at the tips, and she has an air of command about her.

“My name is Halindra Schultz, and you are?” she says smoothly with her strange accent, extending her hand in a dainty female like manner.

Dexter takes her hand and says, "Dexter Kaufman. I'm an associate investigator here. Please come through to my desk and have a seat." He escorts her through the door into the office area and shows her to a seat by his desk. "Would you like a coffee? Tea?"

Once the two of them are seated, Dexter opens the notebook and writes the woman's name at the top of a clean sheet. "Now, Ms. Schultz, who is it that you'd like us to look into?"
