Alex laid in the bed in a daze. Her arm slowly moved into her pocket, pulling out the paper with the names. "They all meet there." she whispered, handing him the paper. Her eyes were filled with tears and she cried. She knew it was stupid, but she wanted to help him. "You said get the information....I got ...it..." she whispered before falling asleep. She left to the hauntings of her dreams. There she was chased through a large crowd, though she didn't know who was chasing her. Her body would twitch every once in a while and she would make a crying sounds.

Luke sighed and nodded "thanks..." was all he said as he pulled a blanket up around her form and sighed "If you weren't like a sister to me and her...you know I'd have kicked your ass.." he said as he shook his head "Alice....you were like a sister....to us both..." he sighed as the crow perched on his shoulder and he nodded "I know I know.." was all he said as he walked into the Bedroom office area and began to research somethings. He had quite a few hours before then so why not spend sometime here like an older brother should? He sighed he knew she'd be awake soon so he decided to go out and get something for them to eat. He was glad he had found money on both of those men as he came back into the apartment with a bag load of food hotdogs and other things as he placed them on the table "I wonder..." he looked at it. "Could I eat...?" he looked at the crow who was already stuffing his face on a piece of bread.

Alex's eyes slowly opened but she jumped up. "LUKE!" She screamed,looking around frantically until she saw him. She gave a sigh and then fell back into the bed, covering her eyes with her arm. "Oh my god." she said then jumped up again. Running to the bathroom she started to puke. (gross I know) After a few minutes she washed her mouth out, brushed her teeth, then washed her mouth out again. Walking to where Luke was she sighed. "Did you sleep?" she asked then thought. "Can he even sleep?"

Luke laughed and shook his head "Did I ever sleep..?" he asked slightly as he looked to her with a soft smile. "Eat up ladypukecity.." he said with a smile as he just rested back in a chair poking at the crow while it ate some bread "For a bird you sure don't eat like one.." he said as the crow snapped at his finger playfully and Luke laughed "Yeah yeah...I'm having a full conversation with a Crow.." he said with a laugh and shook his head.

Alex looked to Luke with a straight face. "I don't know. I didn't know you that well..." she replied. It was true, she had met him a total of maybe 10 times but never really hung out around him that much. Sitting in a chair, looked at the things on the table, smiling a little.

Luke nodded his head "Yeah not alot of people can say they know me...Alice she was like a sister she knew me better then anyone.." he said with a sigh as he shook his head "but now...now i'm just a specter here to claim revenge for our deaths.." he said with a sigh as he stood up "Thanks Alex for all your help but you need to promise me...Promise me you'll stay out of the rest of it...Alice would never forgive me if you got hurt.." he said as he put a hand on her shoulder and instantly got hit with the girls memories. All the pain she went through as he fell back and right into the chair unable to speak and breathing rapidly.

Once this thing passed his breathing slowed to a pant as he looked over at her. His eyes filled with sorrow and pity for the girl. "I didn't know about your past I'm sorry..." he said softly as he looked away "I understand now why you were always over here with me and Alice...or Alice while i was at work..." he said softly and just shook his head.

Alex didnt reply to the promise, because she felt deep in her heart obligated to help. Other than that obligation, she was compelled to help for the love of Alice she had. Alice was the only thing close to 'family' or someone who cared. When he touched her and went into shock, she became scared. What had she done?
"Luke!" she cried as she stood near him, making sure she didn't touch him though. When he spoke again, she stepped back a little and looked down at the ground."Its...." She gave a small pause. She ever wanted anyone to know her past, but Luke now not only knew, but saw it. "Its....ok.." she finished, still looking down at the carpet.

Luke stood up shaking away the vision and sighed softly "You wanna help...just keep to the shadows no drugs nothing else like that.." he said softly as he just leaned against the arm of the chair "Scope out the place but don't go inside let me know the best way in and the most secretest place as well.." he said softly as the crow with it's full belly perched on his shoulder beginning to prune it's feathers. "You go with her be my eyes..." he said as he flexed his shoulder as the crow lifted off and landed on her shoulder. "I thought up a name for him...i'ma call him steve..." The crow kawed loudly at that "Guess he doesn't like that name...how about Bob..?" he asked and the crow Kawed again. "Oh shut it bob..." was all he said.

Luke still hung her head a little but smiled a bit. She was glad that he was letting her help, even if she wasn't being able to be at her full potential. When the crow landed on her shoulder, she stiffened. She didn't know if she could even move with it on her shoulder. When he made the joke about its name, she laughed a little, but stayed stiff. It was way to weird and knowing about the connection she was scared to move.

(when did she become Luke? XD)

Luke only nodded his head slightly "Don't worry He won't hurt you go do your thing spy-girl.." he said with a laugh "And don't worry alright..? It'll be fine your helping out by just finding things you don't need to throw yourself in the line of fire..." he said softly as he leaned back in the chair. He hoped she understood him, because Alice their slight sister wouldn't be to happy with either of them if Alex got hurt.

((Lol sorry! I was in a hurry and was reading your post while typing.))

Alex sighed and nodded. "Can it...like..." she paused not wanting to offend anyone or get pecked in the head. "Can it not be on my shoulder...." she finally said, looking down at the ground with her eyes closed, already waiting for the peck. She did understand him though she wouldn't say anything. It was hard trying to be of help but remain in the boundaries of what Alice would have liked and will kick their asses for when they go.

Luke laughed slightly and nodded "Alright i'll keep bob flying then..." Bob kawed annoyed as he laughed "When your ready to leave step outside Bob will take off and follow close behind you.." he said as he only looked around beginning to search through the reminder of his things with a smile pulling out old photo albums and such and with a laugh flipping through them. He remembered alot of people from then and now that he was dead he wish eh could speak to them one last time.

Alex nodded and sighed, walking out the door. "Thanks, Luke. For watching out for me and stuff." she said before taking off. She walked for a while, glancing back a few times at the crow before arriving at the place. No one was at the door. Walking around the building no one was outside. She was in luck. She smiled at the crow and gave a thumbs up.

The Crow Cawed loudly as he flew in a circle then perched on a street-light as Luke wasn't to far behind as the rain continued to fall he stepped into the light smiling "Miss me...?" he asked with a laugh as he walked over to her the crow perched on his shoulder as he just leaned against the wall "So is it clear...?"


((OOC:Question do you want me to have my character die at the end or what...?))

Alex nodded to Luke as he appeared. "Its all clear." she said then looked down a little. "Be careful ok?" she said, just because she felt like she needed to. Looking to the crow for a second, she smiled to it then back to Luke. "You sure I cant be of more help?"

((Thats up to you.))

Luke grabbed Bob by the beak and handed him to Alex "Keep him quiet and make sure he doesn't follow me.." he said as he walked inside and just sat at a table knowing full well the men would be arriving soon.

Sure enough they did and once they saw Lucas Sitting at a table they all laughed "Halloween was yesterday guy or are you hiding something..?" Lucas chuckled with them "Oh I'm not hiding anything but you should be...each one of you caused the death of a young woman and her roommate...I'm what you call.." he smirked "The punisher...of your crimes.." he said with a smile. The men began to look at each other as the leader of the group smirked "Really..?" Lucas nodded his head calmly as he kicked his legs up on the table.

Alex nodded, holding the crow lightly. She didn't want to hurt it. With a sigh she tried to listen in on what was being said.

Luke smiled softly as he was surrounded by the men the leader had disappeared, luke didn't mind as the first one struck knocking him out of the chair. Luke stood up with a smile as he popped his jaw back into place and pulled his sword out. The next guy swung and lost his arm and when he screamed lost his head. Luke turned to the man who had punched him first now alittle afraid to charge in. So Luke did and got shot in the chest with a laugh he charged anyways stabbing the man in the heart taking his gun and shooting his friend in the head. "Ah that was fun..Alex you can come in now..." he said softly as he wiped the blood from his clothes and sword.

Alex heard the scream of the man and jumped a little but remained quiet. When she was told she could come in, she nodded then when inside. Looking around, she was careful not to step on any of the corpses. Looking to Luke she sighed a little.

Luke smiled at Alex as he could hear cops pulling up he carved a Crow into the table and pulled some Lighter-fluid out over the walls and made a flaming crow as he smiled at her "Time to get out of here..." he said as he disappeared out the back door but waited for her to follow behind.
