WHO: Adrian and Dez WHERE: Dez's flat WHEN: Just after Dez's cry for help on Wednesday night WHAT: Dez asked Adrian to come over and see what new 'present' she's received from her secret admirer.
The biggest annoyance about criminals was that they never chose a good moment to strike. Their activities inevitably interrupted something and tonight was no exception. He had plans for this night, which didn't involve rushing over to Demelza Robins' apartment to sort out whatever it was had happened now. So, needless to say, Adrian was in a grouchy mood. It didn't help that the woman assigned to watch Dez was apparently not doing her job. He'd had some doubts about Faye, but she was the only junior that could be spared for the job and she was competent at work even if not in his league.
Arriving at Dez's flat, Adrian did a sweep of the area with a searching spell, but although he found traces of the same signature essence on the other gifts she'd received, the perpetrator was no longer in the immediate area. He was extremely thankful. Getting into a fight at this point would NOT be good.
Knocking on the door, he called out, "Dez? It's Adrian," he looked down at the person he'd had to bring with him and sighed. "And someone else."
Lucy Pucey-Mamble looked up at him with an innocent look on her pixie like face. "What a way to refer to your little sister!" she pouted. "Is this going to take long? I was looking forward to going to a grown up restaurant."
"You'll live," he told the blond girl and then looked back at the door. Hopefully he could get Dez calm and then continue on with the duty of entertaining his younger sibling.
