Brynna knew that she should be focusing on what was going on because things were really, really, really bad and bound only to get worse. But she'd really enjoyed going out with Claudio Friday night. Their movie date had made her forget for two and a half hours that they were facing down an apocolypse and let her feel like a sixteen-year-old girl with a good-looking older boyfriend. They'd held hands through most of the movie and she'd gotten pleasant shivers when he'd put his arm around her waist as they were walking back to the complex.

She'd been only sort of surprised when he'd knocked on her door Sunday morning. The fact that he'd shown up with donuts and steaming cups of coffee made her smile. She was starting to see that even though Claudio was on the shy side it also meant that he was thoughtful. And when he had suggested that they spend the day together it just seemed like a perfect interlude before things eventually went south on the demon front. He'd only winced slightly when she'd suggested that they go to the mall. She couldn't admit her ulitior motive to him because she knew how boys were but she was determined to get some more clothes for him. The same impulse that made her force a new wardrobe on Kendra was at work with that one.

She glanced up at Claudio as they began their walk to the mall, this would be their third date and she had to admit that she was starting to wonder if Claudio was ever going to work up the nerve to kiss her. She was an assertive girl but there were just some things that the boy should do and initiate the first kiss was one of them in Brynna's book. She hoped he would do so soon, she was starting to go mad waiting for it.

"Man," Claudio shrugged. "Technology's different where I'm from, but way more sophisticated than this, no offense. It's the whole.. space ship and different planets things."

He didn't seem too bothered about anything that was happening--and why should he? Brynna may have been suspicious but Claudio remained happy. He was in a really good mood and had been since Friday. Who knows? Maybe he could share a few secrets with Brynna.

The amulet question was out of the left field, but Claudio only raised an eyebrow. "Yeah. Taking it off would be kind of stupid, wouldn't it?" He asked, before glancing over at Brynna. The brunette seemed anxious, a little wary, and the artist cleared his throat. He hated parting ways awkwardly, but it always seemed to happen to him.

"It was nice seeing you, but uh, I guess we'd better get going. You know. Shopping. Brynna, after this do you mind if we hit another place? It's near her, but I want to pick up some canvas..."

Sarah thought over what Brynna's gesture meant. She didn't actually voice anything about an amulet. Could it be that she didn't have one on? Ohh, that would be just perfect. But maybe she did have one, it was just under the shirt, chain hidden by a collar. She would know soon enough one way or the other. "It would be, yes," she said, answering Claudio. "I was just asking because of how much more dangerous it is. It's down to the last seals from what we were told earlier. Those things, demons.. they could be anywhere out here. Best to be prepared than not." And that was likely what the real Sarah would think, too. She also would have understood that this was a date and that there was no need for a third wheel and thus part ways. To keep contact with them much longer would be suspicious.

Ohhh, the demon could just feel the sudden smugness of the true Sarah Connor inside her. As if daring her to blow the cover and do something stupid. But none of them were. So, the demon would have to keep acting. "Yes, of course," she said with a nod. "I got some business to attend to. You'll see the new items tomorrow. You two enjoy your date." And at that, she continued walking, going past them, seemingly going on her way. It would seem she was departing. Some demons might have even seen it as giving up. But she wasn't. It was simply another strategy. Sarah Connor was definitely good at tactics about this kind of situation. And the demon in her body was using that knowledge. She had actually instructed a group of demons a day before, probably six to eleven of them, to hang around various spots near the mall, all in different walks of life, to blend in by working as vendors or walking among crowds. One such spot for a possible snatching was about half a block away, in an alley.. just on the path to the mall. A path that the nice couple was heading for, if the mall was still their destination. And if one of them called out, Sarah could still play the good guy and come to the rescue, she could still play her part until it was time to act. As Sarah continued on her way of departure, now separated by twenty to thirty feet away from them now, she took out her phone and left a text message to the number she had.. err, accidentally dialed: Targets nearby. Location, Delta-52, you're up. Acquire girl first. Boy will follow.
