<strong>Alice-cafe Financial District/Downtown<br/>Wednesday Night -- November 10, 2010</strong><br/><br/>Alice smiled probably the most genuine smile she had in a while, but the girls grin seemed to be infectious. She listened to the girl talk about her store . " Next time I need something to read, I'll be sure to swing by." She could already think of a few things that she would like to get her hands on, but that could wait until later. She was getting distracted from her mission again, she thought.<br/><br/>Mark came over and she got up to follow the two. She was sure that Mark would not be happy with her tagging along, he probbaly wanted some alone time with the girl. When he asked if they new each other, she shot the girl a small smile and nodded. They knew each other well enough she thought. She noticed his drop in enthusiasm as the Cave was mentioned. He obviously didn't quite share in the girls adventurous , or was it curious spirit. It didn't matter an extra set of eyes or two at the cave might be a good thing especially if the cops were stomping around.<br/><br/>They made it to his car, and she went into the back seat, leaving the front passenger seat for Fate so her and Mark could be together.
