Who: Shiloh, Peter, Alistair, Nick, Carole...
Where: The Winters house.

Shiloh was Not Pleased. Her sister had been supposed to meet her where they always met in order to go home together on the Metro. Bea was generally good about meeting her there and going home before going out again. She knew that she and Nick had arranged for a movie date that evening but that had been after dinner tonight. Muttering to herself, she called Nick. Something was not right.

He was fretting, but doing his best to think of plans and not how much Danu was hurting right now. Though he suspected this was as much or more Shiloh missing her twin.

Marie shook Carole's hand, eying her as she did so. "Relax. I'm here to help if I can, not to burden your hospitality." And Danu's welcome brought a more genuine smile to her face as Brigid replied, "It's been a long time, mathair."

[For the sake of clarity: me, Ryn, Bethany? Also I badly need a Brigid icon for Marie now if one of you becomes so inclined. I need to kick boy to use bases what I have given him. Rrr.]

[Argh. I meant her to give her name when she introduced herself]

Bob looked at the newcomer with interest. Then at Ali. Something clicked in his brain. He smiled at her, facade fully in place. He was pleasant, he was charming and he really shouldn't do what he was thinking about doing. He should just wait until they found Bea and Ceara and...

Fuck it. "Get in my way and you won't know what hit you." He told Marie in a mild, friendly tone. He kicked himself, way to give away his need for control to anyone paying attention.

He wanted his sisters back and he wanted it now.

	Ali stared at Bob for a second, fists clenching. He closed his eyes and breathed deeply once before opening them and staring directly at Bob. "I'll ignore that for now because we've got other things to be worrying about. But you and I will have words later about this." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Bob smiled thinly and leaned nonchalantly on a nearby piece of furniture. "What? What'd I do? I'm giving her fair warning. If she gets in my way she can't claim she didn't know. And neither can you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Shiloh glared at both of them. "Behave!" She spoke. "I know you're worried but sit down both of you and be quiet!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I'm not worried." Bob muttered before miming zipping his lips. He sat very calmly before flipping Alistair the bird. (Reply to this) (Parent)

Brigid's lips turned up in something of a sneer. "Has having a penis really robbed you of all your sense, Badb? We have far more important things to worry about, such as where your sisters are."

And she really was worried.

Peter was staring at her, more than a little surprised and trying to place... ah. Her. "And if you were paying a bit more attention to outward appearances, you'd know that we have someone with probably quite useful ties both here and in Chicago. Wouldn't you say, Congresswoman?"

He got a thin-lipped grin for that. "I would say indeed."

	Bob transferred his finger from Ali to Marie and Peter. "Anyone thought of calling Patrick?" Bob's tone remained friendly even as his eyes were starting to look a little dead. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Shiloh gasped, "No, I didn't." She looked around for the phone. "Crap I just had it!" She said frustrated. Nick handed her another cup of the special blend of tea his grandfather had given him. "Coffee's in the kitchen ready to be served, if any one wants some." He said. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Bob rolled his eyes and pulled out his cell phone. He lsitened to it ring twice before getting an answer. "Hey, Patrick this is Bob." Pause. Bob's face froze. "You're shitting me." Pause. "Which hospital?" PAuse. "Ok, the family's coming over. Of course we won't disturb her. Much. Fine, fine. Have you seen Bea?" Pause. Bob swore in Gaelic. "Yeah, I agree. See you." Bob put the phone away. "Who feels like a field trip to George Washinton Hospital?"

	"What's wrong?" Danu asked sharply. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Ceara's roadster is totalled and she's in the hospital with some broken bones and a concussion." Bob was itching for a fight. He looked straight at Ali. "Now or later you dàmhair òinseach geòcaire diolain." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	earthsgift 2008-04-12 08:21 pm UTC (link)
	"If there is any punching going on, I am going to throw the first punch," Shiloh snarled. "Now we know now why Ceara wasn't answering her phone and I am far too suspicious to believe that these were random occurrences. The police are on their way here. I am staying with my aunt, Nick will too. Now who is going to the hospital and who will stay here?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Peter nodded, the picture of calm to contrast Bob. Deliberately, probably. "I'll stay here; I know how to talk to cops." And he was back to standing on Danu's left, a slight crease in his brow. He elected not to bother giving Bob a response, since that was so clearly what the man was after.

Marie glanced at Ali for her cue. And also as a sort of I will kick BOTH your asses if you start something in the middle of this gesture.

Ali nodded, "I'll head to the hospital, Patrick and Ceara need family support and I'm no stranger to hospitals and the like." He turned to Marie, "Would you prefer to come with me, sweetheart? I can also drop you at your place if you want."

He walked over to hug Shiloh, "It will be well, Shiloh darling. All will be well. The people who did this will not go unpunished, for Macha and Morrigan's sake, we will see to it." He whispered into her ear. He smiled at her, "But now you must play the part of Shiloh the worried sister and not Danu, mother goddess. Much depends on it."

	She looked at him, "Are they so terribly different, my Dagda?" She whispered back to him. "They do not feel so to me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alistair looked down at her sadly for one instant, "They are important, trust me on this. Be Shiloh and only Shiloh for now." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Marie watched them, pushing down a brief surge of jealousy at the closeness they shared. "I'll come with you to the hospital, I think. It makes more sense for me to be there than here at the moment." And there was the likelihood that someone would recognize her either place. She scribbled down her cell phone number, the same one only Ali, her family, and close friends had. "Call if you need anything." She held out the slip of paper to Carole.

Peter glanced over at them, thinking quickly. "When the police ask, I'm Shiloh's tutor." Small smile. "She said she wanted help with some of her schoolwork anyway, but we had yet to make formal arrangements. If you don't mind...?"

	Carole smiled. "Not at all." She took the slip of paper while Bob deliberately bumped Alistair on his way out to his car. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Alistair counted to ten in Swahili in his head before nodding to Carole and Nick and offering his arm to Marie to show her out to his car. Like Danu, he didn't believe Macha's disappearance and Ceara's accident were entirely random. He was unsure how they were connected however and resolved to hold his peace until he had further evidence.

Ali, Marie, Bob now join Patrick and Ceara in other thread?

Her eyes flickered somewhere between amusement and irritation at Bob's behavior as she took his arm.

Peter started to settle himself in the living room, making it appear as though he'd been ready to go over Shiloh's homework with her. A glance at Nick, "I'm Peter, by the way." The poor boy wasn't one of theirs... might be one of them, but Peter couldn't place him offhand. And not awake yet, in the middle of a rather large and currently pissed-off family.

	"I know," Nick replied, shaking his head once. That'd been a weird little get together. "Bea mentioned you." He shrugged. He looked at Danu, "English troubles? Man, I'm glad I've got a good prof who is not an essay-assigning martinet. What are you working on?" Shiloh snickered once, "Cooper's Last of the Mohicans. Analysis and all that crap."

	Peter groaned. "Shiloh, when we actually do start lessons, I promise they will be very different from standard high school English lessons." Wry look up at Carole. "I think we all know the ways in which life and art mirror each other, and I promise analysis can be fun." Anyway. "When are the cops due to show up?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Shiloh shook her head, "I don't believe you. Essays suck."

She turned to Nick, "Honestly I'd rather be doing something fun, like playing soccer or pick up games of street hockey. I hate being cooped up in a building for almost eight hours. I like being outside."

Nick laughed, "You should join band then. You spend lots of time outdoors. It'll eat your soul though, be warned. Once you become a band kid there is no going back. You'll be a band kid until you die."
