Leaning against the shadowy wall, flicking a coin Heirloom's hot, leads are cold. Need more!
no no no i pay you up front..I say handing you an envelope full of money any new leads will be a bonus
Raises an eyebrow, smirking Well, well, well, look who's got the cash upfront. Takes the envelope and counts the money
1000 upfront..500 for each new lead
Takes out a small notebook and pen Alright, Zerenity. I'll make sure you get your money's worth. scribbles down a lead
alright..I say as we walk off into the fog
Starts walking briskly, weaving through the fog Alright, Zerenity, we need to move fast. Time is money, my friend.
Raises an eyebrow, looking puzzled What's the matter, Zerenity? Time isn't money just yet, is it? We've got work to do, my dear.
I’m getting sick..I say weakly
Rolls her eyes dramatically, sighs Oh, come on, Zerenity! You knew what you were getting into when you hired me.
yes..but a girl’s gotta do what a girl has to do..I say as I almost faint
Quickly catches Zerenity before she falls, supporting her weight Alright, alright, don't go passing out on me now.
Concerned, checks Zerenity's forehead Shit, you're burning up. Fever? How long have you been feeling like this?
since last night..I say weakly laughing
Raven takes Zerenity to the hospital immediately, where they discover that Zerenity has a severe case of pneumonia requiring immediate treatment
I lay in the hospital bed I guess being a shapeshifter has downsides
Sits beside Zerenity's hospital bed, crossing her arms Well, it looks like you're stuck here for now, Zerenity.
Pulls out her phone and starts searching for local doctors and specialists Don't worry, Zerenity. I'll make sure you get the best care possible.
Dials a number and speaks in a suave tone Hello, Dr. Smith? Yes, this is Raven Darkholme. I have a patient, Zerenity, who needs immediate attention.
I roll over in bed and close my eyes
Hangs up the phone and turns to Zerenity Don't worry, Zerenity. I've arranged for Dr. Smith to see you right away.
Grabs Zerenity's hand, looking determined Now listen up, Zerenity. We're not giving up.
Rushes to the bedside, gripping Zerenity's hand tightly Look, Zerenity, we can't afford to waste any time.
Stands up abruptly, pacing back and forth Alright, Zerenity, here's what we're gonna do. We need to gather as much information as possible.
Pulls out a map and spreads it out on the table next to Zerenity's bed Alright, Zerenity, we need to pinpoint the exact location of your family's heirloom.
Quickly grabs a pen and starts marking the spot on the map Got it, Zerenity. We'll start our search there.
