If Kai thought Plum wasn't aware of the danger all of PM was in, then he clearly had not been paying attention when she had reprimanded him for his poorly executed actions.<br/><br/>"...I don't think La'Feyal will kill kids, but you, me, Ghost, Thyme, and Brie, Cil...we're all royally fucked if this goes south," Kai said, thought despite his words he seemed collected. Plum's jaw tightened, "I am very aware of what will happen. I am also very aware of who I will look for in the pits of hell," she said with a pointed look towards Kai.<br/><br/>They continued walking, Mira following meekly behind. From the corner of her good eye Plum noticed Kai shapeshifting into Mr. Anjou, the man who ran the underground fighting rings around the city for PM. With ease and comfort Plum's arm intertwined with Kai's. It was no secret that Mr. Anjou liked to have a new woman on his arm every other day--whether he was really deserving of one or not.<br/><br/>Mira was terrified of whatever the two of them were about to drag her into. Briefly she hoped that Chuck was there...perhaps the two of them could just run off together. With that thought, Mira was filled with the tiniest spark of hope.<br/><br/>As they entered the building, they followed the signs for the ICU waiting room, likely where these so called LaFayels were.<br/><br/>Sure enough, it seemed Kai and Plum had stopped in front of a couple. A dangerous looking man seemed to be carefully embracing the woman in front of him and Mira felt sick when she realized there was blood all over the woman. Was that her daughter's blood, Mira wondered. The man had such light hair that it seemed like a silvery white, while the woman's hair was the exact opposite---dark as the night though it shimmered a deep blue hue under the light.<br/><br/>The male pulled away from the woman, whispering something to her and she gave a sniffling nod of her head, looking over to the group briefly with her pained eyes. She seemed drained of all energy and quietly made her way to the farthest part of the room, curling into herself on a chair as she waited for her husband.<br/><br/>"What are you doing here?" Mr. LaFayal asked in a hard tone as he came over, "We had a deal." Kai shook his head, stating that he was aware of the deal. They continued to speak as Mira looked over to the woman in the far corner. For some reason Mira had the urge to speak to the woman, but was too afraid to move from her spot. Kai wasn't the only one who could feel the chilling killing intent rolling off of Mr. Lafayal.<br/><br/>"Why don't you show your real self, shapeshifter. Then I might consider your offer." At that, Mira was drawn back to the conversation at hand, surprised that the man had realized Kai's disguise. She saw Kai tense for a moment, but still he replied, "Shifting in public would be foolish. What gave me away?"<br/><br/>Silas chuckled derisively, "You actually thought PM could send two killers to us with an offer of peace, and I wouldn't notice? Don't worry, you got Mr. Anjou right, down to that slight lisp he has. In fact, I'd almost believe you if you told me he never existed at all, and was you all along...But Mr. Anjou isn't a killer. You have a killer's eyes, whoever you are. That's what gave it away. Your eyes are dead."<br/>Kai shook his head,"Regardless, our offer stands, Mr. La'Feyal."<br/>Silas stared at the two of them. "My wife and I will talk it over. You three will wait here."<br/><br/>Kai felt Plum prickle at his side. "Don't." He said to her. Plum's hatred of being ordered around was her only weakness, and one that was slowly disappearing.<br/>As Silas walked away, he turned to the girls. "Well. That went to shit fast."<br/><br/>Mira ignored him, shoving past Kai and Plum before either of them could do anything. She managed to call out to the man, "Mr...Mr. Lafayal..." He stopped for a moment, but before Mira could reach out to the man Plum had made a quick grab for her, dragging her back some. "Haha...don't mind her. I'm just going to take her right back over there...." Plum said as she started to pull Mira back towards Kai. Mira suddenly had a fighting spirit now that they were in public. She had sensed that Kai and Plum didn't want to cause a scene, but if they thought she was just going to let LaFayal walk away without asking about Chuck, they were so very terribly wrong.<br/><br/>"Please!" she cried out to him, "Please where is Chuck?" she asked, her eyes filled with desperation. If anyone were to actually take a pause to take in the scene, they would have realized quite easily that Mirabell had been through hell. She had bruises all around her neck, face, and arms from fighting and wrestling with the various people she had run into when she was brought to PM. And if anyone bothered to look even closer, they would have noticed the very visible bite marks on her neck.<br/><br/>Plum looked back at Kai with a look that screamed for him to do something. The girl was going to get them fucking killed with all her bullshit. "He didn't mean to hurt her, I promise! He just...he didn't know...he didn't know. I'm sorry, I am so sorry," Mira said, wriggling away from Plum and darting in front of the man. "Please...just...I...need to know...is Chuck..." she paused, trying to swallow the fear that she likely already knew the answer, "...is Chuck alive?"
