<div align="center"><strong>Alice-cafe Financial District/Downtown </strong></div><br/>The cafe had been empty when Alice had walked in. She stood at the door shaking some of the rain from her, before making it over to the counter. She offered her coffee straight black. She had always been a coffee purist never liking those fancy frappuccinos or   mocha's that most people drunk today.  She heard the door jingle as she waited for her coffee, and turned to see a women enter.<br/><br/>She said nothing to her, just took her coffee and found a seat. She watched them for a moment. They knew each other. and the boy liked her, but she was unsure if the girl felt the same way. She smiled slightly, and took a sip from her drink.  She pulled out her phone, looking at pictures of the file she had taken.  At the same time she was half listing to their conversation. She didn't truly mean to eavesdrop on them, it was just part of how she was, always observant.<br/><br/>Her interest peeked when they mentioned Devils Bat cave. If there were going to be cops down there it could make things more difficult. Cops general didn't like reporters on their crime scene. Reporters generally didn't like cops trampling all over the crime scene, they couldn't find a clue if it hit them in the face. The cops had bigger problems tonight though, she remembered the alerts being shouted through the police scanner at the newspaper office, before she started her investigation.<br/><br/>" Something bad is  going down at Simon’s Bull "  She informed the two, glancing at them for just a moment before looking back at the pictures on her  phone.<br/><br/>
