Lexi sighed and looked abashed,<br/>“Look, they came in on a Greyhound bus with a tour group for old people. We get those a lot. The senior citizen center from Tacoma brings groups up once a month. I, to tell you the truth, I don’t look at old people. To me, they all look the same. Short, dumpy, gray hair, baggy sweaters or brightly colored sweat suits that match. They all wear sneakers and usually a hat. Some use a cane or a walker and all the old ladies have big purses.  There were three women, two of which went in the back room and one old man who was investigating that watch in the display case. I think he was only doing that to distract me. I know when I went to check on the women is when he penned me up behind the counter and his bloody eyes turned black. They all went out, got on the bus and it roared off. He called the ladies by name, but no name really stands up except for Daisy and it reminded me of Daisy Duck, which is why I remember it.”<br/><br/>Sid cursed and clamped his teeth back around the cigar.<br/><br/>Lexi looked at Neo and Yukina, both of whom seemed more on her side than did Mr. von Engels or Sid.<br/><br/>“The book talked about scrying, you know, to find something or someone,” Lexi said, snapping her fingers. We have some of those crystal things on a chain out front.”<br/><br/>Sid looked at her like she had lost her mind.<br/><br/>“Yes, we do. Those pretty rock thingies in the bowl by the cash register. Those are scrying crystals, or at least that is what they looked like in the book. Maybe we could try that. We need a  map that we could lay on the table back there and try to do what the book shows.”<br/><br/>Sid looked doubtful, but Lexi pushed past him and collected a pretty pink crystal.<br/><br/>“Pink?” he sneered, crossing his arms over his chest.<br/><br/>Lexi ignored him and ripped an atlas off the wall.<br/><br/>“We will start with this and see if it is close by and then I can print off a map of where ever the crystal says to look. “ she took in the faces of the four of them and realized that Neo was the only one who didn’t seem skeptical.<br/><br/>“What do you say, Neo? You want to come help me?”
