I beseech thee Gaia, come through for your children and aid a daughter of the Stag. Morri thought in her head, imploring the Mother Goddess to imbue Morri's words so that her parents took heed and left for the safety of the Emerald Isle. For the briefest of moments Morri felt another presence with her, far stronger than the vampire Anna and filled with warmth, happiness and love. The presence seemed almost like it would engulf her, but it was gone as quickly as it had come.
"Alright..." Her father sighed, suddenly shattering the silence in the room. "As I said, something seems o' 'bouts that man and I've had a few nagging thoughts 'bouts me job here as it is. Even in Ireland, over twenty years in the army should put me in good stead."
"So ye'll go?" Morri asked, trying not to let the hopefulness sound in her voice.
"Aye, we'll go lass." Smiled her father. "But we'll miss ya."
"I've missed ye ta dad, and ye ma." Replied Morri with a weak smile, trying hard not to let tears well up in her eyes. "I'll try and write....somehow."
"That would be nice, but seeing ye again after all this time was good enough love." Morri's mother replied this time, leaning in to kiss Morri on her forehead. "Ye take care o' yerself."
"Aw ma, I've done alright so fa...yeah, fair point."
"And ye," Morri's father said to Alexei. "Anything happens ta her, we'll hold ye ta account fer it."
Lestrange
Markus put his phone back into his pocket and went to make his way back to Morri's room, only for a gun to be poked in his back before he was shoved into a cleaning closest and roughly seated down.
"I wan't to know a few things, who do you work for, why are you after the Garou pup, and why I shouldn't ventilate you're skull."
"Ah, I had pegged that you weren't really FBI." Lestrange replied. "You seemed, excuse the term, amateurish."
"Though I shalt answer your last question first; if I die then a load of other people will also die as an oil refinery a few miles away on the coast will explode."
"No doubt you're asking yourself whether I'm bluffing to say my own skin." Smiled Lestrange. "Let me ask you this; how willing are you to find out and can you live with having condemned a good hundred or so people to death?"

Course, she only told them it was a person she knew and they should be able to help if her name was mentioned. Morri was actually suppose to be meeting this Glass Walker herself, least until her night got seriously sidetracked. Still she figured it would be a Glass Walker who'd be the best placed to help her parents and possibly even her if they found out about her present situation.
When Alexei said about leaving the hospital, a noticeable change in tune, Morri hesitated a moment before replying. "I... I... I'm not sure wot I want ta do now."
"How and when I get out I'll need ta explain everything ta Connor, but tis not something I wanna do just yet." Morri continued. "I'd rather have a couple o' days ta get me head straight 'fore I do back ta the docks and me pack, but I ain't got anywhere else ta go."
"I'm grateful fer yer help and kindess, I really am, but I don't wanna be a burden fer ye."

"In a hurry are we?" Lestrange asked, seemingly unfazed by the gun against his forehead. "No? Then again I suppose you do not have any reason to believe that you ought to be."
"Though you're that Changeling, the one who thinks he's a two-bit gangster and has been seizing territory in Chinatown aren't you?" Replied Lestrange. "You have a rivalry don't you? A guy called Manning, someone whom we've considered taking out ourselves."
"Alright, I think I shalt indulge you for a moment." Lestrange smiled. "Now despite what you may think of me....Wyrm Drone I believe you called me...I do care about my employees and, by extension, their families."
"The girl you see, the one you called 'Garou pup', her father is one of my employees and I came in to see what help I could provide even if its covering the medical bill."

Morrdh wrote:"Hm, best make it a keg....tis Connor we're talking 'bouts here." Replied Morri. "Trust me, I've run with his pack fer the past year or so."
"If yer happy fer me ta stay at yer place, then sure....I guess." Morri continued. "I'm sure I could convince the doctor ta let me leave, best if he undid the straps...ye know, ta keep him happy."
"Though there are certain...parties that know me face and I'd rather 'em not see me, Mr Evil Suit Guy especially. Gonna need a headscarf or a hat or something, just something ta wear 'til we're clear o' the hospital. Once we're clear I can try shifting and then heal better, least I'd be able ta move much better then."
"OK..." She sighed. "Better call the doctor back in 'fore he starts getting his wig in a twist."

"Some o' yer....clothes?" Morri asked with a look of bemused puzzlement on her. "Alright, I guess."
"No, tis fine....there was an urgent matter they had ta attend ta and they are also grabbing some things fer me." Answered Morri in response to Dr Lewis' question, though focusing her will to add weight to her words as she used her Persuasion gift once again. "But I've decided that I want ta go home. Now."
"Ye can't legally keep me here against me own will." Morri added quickly to forestall any arguments from the doctor. "Just give me some meds, a back brace, a wheelchair and ye can discharge me inta the care o' Alexei here."
"Look, I'll come back fer checkups." She promised. "Tis just that I hate being in hospitals and rather be somewhere more familiar and comfortable."
Lestrange
After Jonah had left, Lestrange started to chuckle and it soon grew into full blown laughter. He was still giggling as he left the closest and then walked down the corridor to get a cup of coffee from a vending machine. If the Ogre had any sense he would've simply killed Markus and be done with it, yet instead he let a potentially dangerous foe walk free. No doubt the Ogre would come to regret his decision in due course.
"Lestrange," Markus said, answering his phone after it had started ringing. "Tell the team to cover all the exits, I do not want Little Red to leave without us knowing about it but do not engage unless I give the order. The Ogre is here, so we're gonna need some heavy support standing by."
"Oh, whilst you're at it schedule a meeting with a Mr Manning in Inglewood....we have a business proposal to discuss."

“...You are Morri’s father’s boss, yes? My name is Alexei. I’m a friend of hers. Do you mind if perhaps we speak somewhere beside this area?...”
Lestrange looked round at the young man with a look of mild annoyance before answering. "Yes, that's correct."
"Yes, I do believe I saw you beside her bed." Lestrange continued. "Its rare to see somebody who cares so deeply for another...."
"You wish to talk? Very well then, perhaps the hospital's cafeteria?"
Morri
Morri only half-hearted listened as Dr Lewis spoke, only nodding her head or answering verbally when it appeared the doctor expected a response from her. She was really more focused on thinking how her and Alexei would leave the hospital, Alexei could simply walk out whilst Morri's face was known to the wrong parties. It wasn't stated which company or entity Lestrange actually worked for, but Morri reckoned she could make a pretty good guess as to who or what it might be. Though she really really hoped she was wrong, it raised far too many uncomfortable questions if she was right.
At last the nurse returned with the back brace and wheelchair as had been requested, though Morri saw as clear as day the sour look on the woman's face. Sucks ta be ye, Morri thought to herself. Though as Morri half-expected, the nurse was a little less gentle than she could've been as she helped Morri with getting the back brace on. Morri herself gritting her teeth and sharply inhaling air when the pain in her back flared up as she moved. With back brace on the nurse then helped, again with a little less care than was needed, Morri into the wheelchair before the paperwork for Morri's discharge was sorted and her belongings returned.

Morrdh wrote:"You know, in the eyes of the law, what you just said could almost be considered slander." Lestrange replied. "Though in less...civilised climes you probably would've been gutted for that."
"Yes, I've already had the...pleasure of meeting your friend the brute." Continued Lestrange, pausing to sip his coffee. "He has already expressed his disdain for my person, though we've managed to come to a most amicable business arrangement."
"Besides, I do believe your brutish compatriot is about to have other matters to contend with..." Lestrange said, nodding towards a team of FBI agents who'd just arrived. "I'm led to understand that the authorities take a rather dim view of persons masquerading as Federal agents."
"As for me, if you'll excuse me I'd like to finish this coffee and see if the early edition of today's papers are in yet." Said Lestrange as he started to walk off, only to call back over his shoulder. "Though tell me one thing Mr Bancroft, do you play chess?"

Morrdh wrote:"No, no....I was merely asking." Replied Lestrange. "Though I do hope you understand the role that each piece plays and the different strategies employed to counter said pieces."
"Security cameras only record visual footage, they do not record audio. I could have just been speaking to my PA about buying a toy for my daughter." Countered Lestrange. "Besides, it would be your word against that of a respected corporate manager."
"I must say that you have great trust in your brutish friend if you believe he'll handle the FBI...diplomatically." Lestrange said, taking another sip of his coffee. "I will not stop you and the girl from leaving, though I suggest making haste before your brute of a friend makes things messy..."

Morrdh wrote:"Ye took yer time." Morri smiled when Alexei returned, though she looked a little pale from the pain and a little drowsy thanks to the effects of the morphine. "Was getting impatient ta see wot the speed and handling was like on this thing."
Morri tried not to smile openly as she saw the look of disapproval on the faces of both the nurse and the doctor, even though they weren't happy with the whole situation Morri was giving them reason to be glad to be rid of her. She smiled sweetly back at them, making them both sigh and shake their heads. The doctor stated they could go and Morri quickly spoke, forestalling the nurse. "We know the out way, thanks. Alexei if ye'll be a dear and push..."
"I've got an idea or two." Morri whispered back once they were outside in the corridor. "But we're gonna need ta find a secluded spot fer it ta work."
Morri then explained her plan of trying to shift forms and hopefully heal her injuries in almost an instance, thus then making things considerably easier. She then explained that another of her gifts allowed her to pass by unseen, which is how she was able to enter the White Lotus unnoticed and sneak up on Alexei. Thus practicably invisible, she could walk out the front door of the hospital by Alexei's side and nobody would know.
