**Pewter City -- Museum**<br/><br/>The strange woman waved her hand idly, nodding as if in agreement with Alphonse. "Yes, let the silly girl go. She isn't any help to us anyway." The woman holstered her weapon, but remained fiercely alert, ready to pull it back out if it was needed. "And yes, I may just have to invest in better lackeys."<br/><br/>At that, both men gasped, but held their tongues.<br/><br/>The woman turned back to Samuel. "So you won't tell us where the incarnus is. Very well. That's up to you anyway." She turned and started walking away, motioning for the two men to follow her. "Come on, boys. And next time, don't make such a scene. You're terribly embarrassing."<br/><br/>Samuel heaved a huge sigh of relief when the people disappeared. He didn't know where they were going to go, and he had a feeling that he'd probably hear from them again, but for the moment they were gone, and everyone was safe. Shoulders slumping , the man felt as if he might fall over, and he just started to notice the ache of a new bruise forming under his ribs where the mightyena had slammed into him.<br/><br/>"That...was not at all planned."

She kissed the man back, until the point when he pulled away, and tried not to let herself be swept away by his charming grin.<br/><br/>"The most fun." She murmured, her hands wandering lower, back down from Gary's chest to the waistband of his pants. She began to fiddle with it, precariously close to the danger zone.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>**Cinnabar -- Lab**<br/><br/>Claire had to think about that for a moment, but at the mention of orbs, she seemed to snap to attention. It could even be heard in her voice over the phone.<br/><br/>"Well," She began. "It's said that Lamia was originally awakened in the heart of her shrine by the gathering of several precious orbs of power. I don't know much about them, but a certain song played on a flute activated the orbs and brought the bird to life. Unfortunately, it's believed that the orbs have been all but lost to time."
