A break in the search (Phaedra)
Jo had found Mary easily enough, but so far she'd seen no sign of Dean, Johnny, or even Jack. She was worried about all three, and she was missing her boyfriend. Worse, she wondered what it would do to Dean for her to disappear again like this. She didn't mean to keep doing that, but it seemed like there were forces outside of her control that were determined to keep pulling them apart.
Jo wasn't one to wallow which meant that she decided now was a good time to take a break before she started wandering too far into those darker thoughts. She found a small pub-a place with tacky neon signs that depicted Cadbury Beer and Pumpkin Ale. She ordered herself a beer and then grabbed a booth in the corner of the room. The booth provided a good vantage point to keep an eye on what was going on in the rest of the bar and to keep her eye trained toward the entrance. It was as much a defensive move as it was a hope that she might see one of the people she was looking for walk through those doors.
For now, she settled into her corner of the bar and started to drain her first beer. It would take a few before she was pleasantly fuzzy, though that was the goal right now. She didn't need to be more than that since she was in a new place and didn't know what threats might be out there in the night, but a little bit fuzzy could be good. It was better than thinking about the people that she might have lost with this latest abduction.
