Misadventures (Annabelle)

The Doctor hadn't been in the diner by the time that Cavan and Annabelle had left Dean. And he hadn't been anywhere near it, either. Which meant that trying to find her any help was put off. They had to see to themselves first, since it seemed that neither of them had been left with money that actually worked.

Their choices were kind of cut down because of that. They couldn't get a hotel, and they couldn't rent a house or apartment. They'd eventually found a youth hostel type situation, which allowed them both to take rooms, without it costing them anything. They just had to lie and say they were in school. Cavan was amazed at how they didn't ask for ID or any papers that would have backed up the story. Their word was taken for what it was. They were given three meals a day and their rooms, but they had to share them with other people (of the same gender) and they had a curfew.

After they had a place secured, a roof over their heads, the next task was finding Annabelle shoes that she could walk in. Cavan did this by himself, since she was having a lot of trouble and her current shoes hurt her feet. This consisted of him taking her shoe with him and presenting it to clerks in stores and telling them to match the size. He finally found a pair of relatively flat shoes and opened a credit account with the store that was entirely too easy to open.

He spent time with Annabelle, learning about her powers and one time asked for a demonstration. When she'd moved an ash tray from one table to another in the common room, he'd sat smiling for nearly an hour. He didn't want to push her any more than that, lest somebody walk in on them, or she got too worn out and lose control. He was pretty satisfied with what he'd seen.

Since they were all settled, he decided that they needed to try to find The Doctor. He arranged to meet Annabelle at the front door of the hostel so they could start their search.
