"Eh? Nahh. I just smack him when he gets a bit handsy at home." Alicja answered with a light shrug, and wince.

"He tends to be pretty good with keeping his hands off me while at work, which is definitely good." She continued.

"And when he does get a bit too handsy, I just add a bunch of citric acid to his food and he stops for a bit."

Alicja looked outright confused.

"I.... what?" She asked after a moment.

"Why would I report it?" She asked.

"Don't you and Kiah have a similar relationship?"

♫Turn off my brain, this all feels the same♫

Alicja nodded.

"Yeah. We are. Which is why when he's here, I'm here. We managed to have Angela agree to have us work at the same time, for transportation purposes. We only have one car betwen the two of us." She told him with a light chuckle.

"I... admit, I'm surprised there's anyone who doesn't know. We're not exactly private about it."

♫Turn off my brain, this all feels the same♫

Alicja just shrugged.

"All good." She commented.

"Anyway, might be worthwhile to let Nat know I'm up again. And yes, the headache is better. Still there, still ow, but not as bad."

♫Turn off my brain, this all feels the same♫

Alicja just chuckled lightly.

"Hey there Nate." She greeted.

angela sighed lightly before making her way over to the door and opening it.

"Yes?" She asked as she stepped out of the way for him to enter if he so desired.

Angela was silent for a moment before letting out a breath of relief.

"well, if nothing else, that is definitely good." She commented after a few seconds.

"What's the dosage?" She asked after a moment. When Ilias answered, she nodded before getting to her feet.

"I'll make sure this is handled. Along with that, I'll make sure alicja is all right, as well." She was silent here, not sure what to say, before just sighing, heavily.

"Thank you, Ilias. We needed this."

♫Turn off my brain, this all feels the same♫

Angela was silent as Ilias said all he did, making notes.

"Duly noted." She commented, and he could hear the relief in her voice.

".... Are you doing all right?" She asked after a moment or two. "I know this can't have been easy to find."

♫Turn off my brain, this all feels the same♫

Angela nodded.

"I'll keepo that in mind."[/] She said.

[b]"Thank you. So much." She then said with a light sigh, that one breath filled with relief.

"I'm going to get to work with this on the few that remain. You? Go do what you need to. Thank you again."

Chloe merely nodded.

"Of course." She said simply as she finished making sure that the serum was properly contained.

"I will run this up now. Unless you need me here?" She asked.

She was silent as she stepped into the house, to find it empty.

"Huh..." She muttered, looking around. With a yawn, she just kicked her shoes off, dropped her back off on the couch, and headed up to her bedroom. She entirely intended to die for a few hours, as she felt like she hadn't slept in weeks, which she thought was odd since she'd been working with an Order Member.

"The hell...?" She wondered before pulling her phone out of her pocket and tring to unlock it... only to find that the device was dead. With a sigh, she made her way to her room and plugged it inbto the wall before heading out to find the cordless phone. Which she found, but it was in her dad's room.

She grabbed it and sat on his bed before calling him, wondering where he was, and how long it'd been since he'd been home. The place was actually pretty hot now that she thought of it, as if no one turned on the AC or orpened a window in ages.

"Hey, Dad." She greeted when he'd answered
