Ezra and Dexy did leave the room for a short while to "go get some things", but it was all to allow Robin and Dominique to put themselves back together. Robin would have been lying if he had said all was good. He let out a sigh of depression as Dom put her tank top back on. He had certainly enjoyed the view and would spend the rest of the day fantasizing about it and the view he saw in the bathroom. No doubt about it, he had a major thing going on for the red head and he was hoping like crazy she would be willing to pick up later that night when they did have time to be alone.
Dexy and Ezra came back with the movies and snacks and drinks. For the first hour or so, things were a bit subdued and awkward among the four, but as some funny parts of the movie they were watching occurred, they started to laugh and joke around with each other and the frigid feeling was soon replaced with the warmth of the friendship they were bonding.
After watching two movies, the group decides to take a walk and find a place to eat. It wasn't far from where they were staying that they found a pizzeria. Soon they found themselves at the counter ordering pizza, soda, and breadsticks from a blue haired girl that was smacking gum as she watched the group decide on what it was they wanted. The girl would give a roll of her eyes as she listened to the four talk "cute" among themselves.
Finding a table, the four sat down and started talkin about anything and everything under the sun. It started with a bit on their last mission and how it seemed almost too easy to the experiences they had in England. That talk soon ended as they started remembering things and people left behind. It was Dexy, in her "non-invasive manner" finally ask Robin point blank, "So, big boy, what is it ye did whilst you were away from us that year?"
Robin shifted uncomfortably in his seat wondering why the Irish lass would bring up this topic that she knew might only rip off a bandage to open an old wound. He looked uncomfortably around the table before speaking in soft, low tones. "I did some research. Took some time to clear my head. Found the location of the Institution." At this he stopped, and the other three at the table looked at him as if he were trying to tell a joke. It was Dexy again who broke the uneasy silence, "Ok, I'll bite. Where is this mysterious Institution located?"
Robin looked around the table to see how the others were reacting to this news. He shrugged a bit. "I am not one hundred percent certain, but I believe it is the Alcatraz prison." It was Ezra who spoke up now. "How could that be? I mean they take tour groups out there. I am certain if there was any funny business going on that was to the extent of what we went through, someone would have noticed." Robin nodded as he listened. "I thought that too, but I had to go and see for myself. I went to San Francisco and took the tour of the island. Thing is, the tourist only get a small, limited view of the place and all above ground. There were boats going in a nd out all the time too, but not all the kind with tourists. Some were very non-descript and seemed to be holding a group of guards, guards that wore the uniforms of the Institute, or at least it appeared to be the same type of uniform."
Dexy scoffed some now, "All a coincidence, big boy. That place is far too public for such an operation to take place there. I mean it is right under the nose of the public. Why would they risk such a thing?" Robin nodded some more. "I know. That is what I thought too, until...until I saw Luxuria get off one of the boats and walk into a door that was heavily guarded."
The group of four sat in silence as the blue haired girl came and plopped the pizza and breadsticks on the table. Blowing a bubble she looked them over and asked, "Will there be anything else I can get for you now?" They four just shook their heads no and the girl walked away.
