"Hey." Vyn said with a wave as she spproached.

"I know... and there probably would be." The woman agreed with a sigh.

"I'll pay you double for this." She added.

"if there's a riot, I can help corral them all." Vyn commented.

".... I've gotten damn good at dealing with rowdy idiots." The woman paused, looking to her.

"You're... kind of delicate looking. You sure you can?" She asked. Vyn just nodded.

Well, I hope it doesn't come to that." The woman then said with a sigh before scanning the crowd.

"I think she's running late again though."

Jaden just sighed.

"Great." he said.

"Just... great." he muttered.

"Vyn, this is Kalin." he then said to Vyn.

"Kalin, Vyn." he said to the purple-haired woman.

"Anyway, she'd better get here soon." he went on.

"The crowd's probably gonna start getting antsy soon."

'Oh most likely." Kalin agreed.

"Not sure ... what to make of this, to be honest." She added before sighing.

"I'm going to head to my office and see if I can reach her. Jaden, I'll track you down soon." Was the last thing she said before heading off, leaving the two alone.

". . . So what's going on?" Vyn then asked

Jaden sighed and looked at Vyn.

"Kalin accidentally double-booked." he told her.

"With a magician that does more... family-friendly and kid-appropriate... stuff." he went on.

"If one of us goes on stage, half the audience will revolt. No matter what." he continued.

"So a joint show is really the only real answer." he explained further.

"Unfortunately, it seems like the other performer isn't here yet."

"... That's professional." She muttered, not specifying who It was that she was commenting on. Could hav ebeen either.

"Do you know the other performer at all?"

"I know OF her." Jaden replied, deciding not to comment on her 'professional' comment.

"Her name's Desiree." he said.

"She does mostly levitation stuff." he went on.

"She's real popular for kid's parties and such, and is up-and-coming." he explained further.

"Seriously, she keeps it up, she's got a bright future ahead of her in the entertainment industry." he continued.

"...and it's not like her to be late, from what I've seen and heard." he then added at the end.

"Huh. Wonder if you two teaming up would be such a good idea." vyn commented.

"You're drastically different." She added before they heard Kalin again.

"I can't reach her." She said as she returned.

"And it's worrying me, if I'm being honest."

Jaden was about to respond, before Kalin spoke.

"...that IS concerning." he admitted.

"Hmmm." he mumbled.

"Where was the last place you talked to her?' he asked. "Or saw her. Or anything." he went on.

"Where's the last known place she was at, essentially." he clarified.

"I can try and see if I can't find anything out." he offered.

"Here. Last weekend when we were finalising plans." Kalin answered.

"She's almost never late like this unless..... Oh fuck." She then said as her face paled a few shades.

"Jaden, take the stage if you want. I gotta make a call." with that, she headed off, her steps quick, worried.

"......" Jaden was silent for a few moments.

"Uh..." he stammered.

"Right, I'm no expert on human behaviour, but that's not a good sign." he commented to Vyn.

"And take the stage?" he went on.

"At a time like this?" he asked further.

"I'm not ready. And I'm not sure what I would do to try and appease this entire crowd." he admitted.

"...and I am also extremely concerned about what Kalin said at the end. Or, rather, her overall tone and demeanour." he clarified.

"Someone needs to." vyn said.

"when the time comes. Otherwise this place will be a complete write off.' She said.

" For now though.... Perhaps you should go see if you can find out if you can help."

"Hmmmm..." Jaden mumbled.

He looked at the stage, then looked at the crowd, and narrowed his eyes.

"...I'd say we have... 40 minutes before they start to get antsy." he guessed. "Just from the general feel, and the majority of the expressions I see here." he told her further.

"In that time, I am going to see if I can't help Kalin locate Desiree." he continued.

He then looked to where Kalin had gone, before looking at Vyn.

"Excuse me." he said, before hastily going in the direction that Kalin had gone.

'I reeeeeeally hope I'm just looking too much into this.' he thought.

As he headed off, Vyn sighed.

Well, this is definitely a good night. she thought, lokoing around. She wanted to try and help too, if only just because she was a Hunter, she knew she could help. With that in mind, she seemed to literally vanish from where she was, trying to hunt out anything and everything that could help.

---

When Jaden found Kalin, she was up in the VIP/Boss area of her club that overlooked everything,a nd she looked around ready to do ... something. Either break down in tears out of frustration or whip something across the room. The fact that she wasn't, said a lot.

"Hey Jaden." She said as he was about to knock.

"You cancelling on me?" She asked, not sure why he was there.

"Huh??" Jaden asked.

"No! I'd never!" he said.

"But I want to help try and find Desiree." he told her.

"I estimate we have a little over a half-hour before someone getting on stage HAS to happen." he went on.

"In that time, is there anything I can do?" he asked.

"Obviously something's up." he continued.

"What is it?"

"That's the thing, I have no idea." Kalin answered.

"I'm not sure what can be done to find her, I don't know what anyone can do for any of it." She admitted.

"and it's rather frustrating. I have a suspicion as to what it is that has happened, but if I'm right, she needs all the help she can get for the moment.... and I have no way to track her down. Helping her will not be an easy thing to do." She added.

"....." Jaden was silent as he heard that.

"I see..." he said.

"If she needs help, then... hm." he mumbled.

"But we have nothing to go on." he went on.

"Shit. Hm." he muttered further.

"Damn it, yes, this IS frustrating." he admitted.

"I just wonder what could be causing such trouble."

Kalin just sighed lightly.

"I.... can't say." She said.

"I have suspicions, but I cannot rightly say." She added.

"I ... think it's a family issue, though." She added with heavy breath.

"I can tell there's a LOT more to that statement." Jaden replied.

"Can also tell that you don't really want to talk about it." he went on.

"But fine." he then said.

"Looks like there's nothing for it, then." he shrugged.

"I may as well get on stage and break the news." he reasoned.

"Half these people are nooooot gonna be happy."

Kalin sighed.

"I can't say more about it. I respect her too much." She countered before pausing.

". . . wait." She then said as she looked out the windows to the floor below. Down on the floor they both saw someone with bright bubblegum hair, along with someone had streaked hair, that Jaden had come to know very well.

". . . Come on." Kalin said before leaving the room, knowing he'd follow.

"....what...?" Jaden mumbled.

"What the...?" he started to ask, before shaking his head.

"Right, coming!" he called to her.

He then quickly followed her, and they made their way down to where the two people were.

'Vyn?' he thought.

'How in the...? What the...?' he wondered, but decided not to bring it up just yet.
