<strong>Beat (Baltimore)</strong><br/><br/>The chair's explosion to pieces seemed to scare the crowd, even the last guys pulling themselves to their feet and turning to flee in a rush, as the situation finally seemed to settle down. Stepping out of the alleyway, the young woman holding the camera trembled. "First, ah, I'm glad you are ok, and second, umm please dont hurt me or my camera. I was looking for a story and well, I remembered hearing something about you before, so I followed and ahh.." She swallowed. "That was amazing."<br/><br/>Smiling warmly, the woman stepped closer, dressed in a comfortable warm sweater and somewhat worn jeans, she was not dressed to kill but certainly staying warm. She had a fairly pricey looking camera in her hands, a strap around her neck, the curly hairs framing her face as she watched him a bit awkwardly.<br/><br/><hr/><hr/><strong>Myriad (NYC)</strong><br/><br/>The police stared a bit but hurried off to knock on a nearby door's glass, and a moment later the man she had sought came up to the front. "Detective Sisco, how can I help you ma'am?" He was perhaps thirty, in a cheap suit that sat fairly well, roughly shaven chin, and a looks of a man that kept running on coffee's miraculous power. Not bad looking, but the smile was tired. At least he looked her in the eyes.<br/><br/>"Ah, yes. You are here because of what happened. Right this way, it might be better to talk in my office." He cast a look at Valerie's companion but nod to him as well, guiding the two of them to a closed office, a pair of tables present, the other one empty at the time but a hot coffee mug on the table suggesting that whoever it was had not gone far.<br/><br/>"First off, we are looking for the suspect, and he did not seem to care about physical evidence, so we know who to look for." The man started, looking at Valerie seriously.<br/><br/><hr/><hr/><strong>Valerie (NYC)</strong><br/><br/>Hef let out a warm laugh at her change. "My old friends said one day I'd run into a woman that would make me see what they see in one woman that cant be found in a hundred others." Smiling with a calm look on his face Hef pat her back. "Over here we have the wine cellar, comfortably cool and well stocked. If you felt like sharing a glass later I could show you wines that the world has forgotten but that should never be underestimated." Hef smiled in a warm fashion at this. "Not all good things in life have to be the most luxurious and expensive either, I have learned in my time that some of the life's simple pleasures are moderately priced or even free."<br/><br/>He smiled to Valerie in a warm fashion as he looked at her curiously. "How would you like to see the Elvis room? I think you can keep a secret." He smirked. "Its been two weeks since all this surprise began and I imagine you and your agent had a lot of planning to do but not a word of it got out before the press conference you had." He smiled in an amused fashion, watching her with a look of a man enjoying the company of a fine woman. "You are beautiful naturally and it looks like you are stunning after preparing, I think you are going to have a lot of fans and a lot of envious watchers." His tone was friendly and none too serious, but also protective in a manner.<br/><br/>"As for the movie and a dinner, that sounds like a splendid idea, though to keep it private I think I should give the girls a good evening shopping." He smiled gazing at her silently.
