[Since Braddoc's going away soon, with his consent, I'd like to move this thread up a bit]
After the dark elf had finally released her, unharmed, Angel opted to become invisible, crossing her arms in front of her chest and softly uttering the words that would make it happen. As soon as she saw Quick by the elevator, she took the stairs and retreated back to the van rather than face Quick and Four Eyes right away. Unfortunately, bad luck was still with her, and she sees Four Eyes having a smoke and hanging out with one of the trolls that had been parking the cars.
When she becomes visible, Four Eyes waves to her. Angel pretends not to see it. Maybe if she was lucky, he'd leave her be for a while. But since the ferry was going to touch land in about twenty minutes, she'd have precious little time to herself, if any at all.
Angel climbs into the back and begins to curse at herself in Sperethiel. That had been really stupid for her to do that. Only a lot of fast talking and promises had saved her sorry hoop. But on the other hand, she had been able to deal with the problem herself, without relying on Quick, or worse yet, Four Eyes to get her out.
But damn it, she wasn't going to cry. She tells herself as the tears begin to well in her eyes. She looks at the van's stained ceiling, hoping that it will stop them.

A few smokes and a bit of chit-chat as the ferry slowly made his way to destination, Four-Eyes did learned a bit on Blackie; an opportunistic scammer, bit on the impulsive side, but always real polite and friendly with the travelers. 'Nice way to get close and steal honest folks.. Barry, the winch operator, worked on the boat for almost 5years now, got a diploma, a SIN, a nice small apartment in an ok part of Seattle and everything, talk about breaking the stereotype..He spotted Angel popping out of nowhere and waved to her, not much to be friendly, more to fit the 'survey team on a job' cover-up.
But she totally ignored him, maybe because of that whole 'got a gun point at me' thing that happened with Black Elf, if that was true. Angel climbed into the van and seemed to sigh alone. "Well, docking' in 20 minutes, 'better stop takin' it easy and make it looks like I"m workin'" Barry threw half a smoke overboard, something Four-Eyes followed soon after "Yeah, I'll go in th'van, nice talkin' to 'ya." He made his way at the van, people were starting to get on the deck and into their vehicle.
Getting in the driver's seat, he puts the key on the contact and leaves it here, looking as the docking area was slowly getting closer and closer "So, 'hope you managed to make that drekhead beg for mercy huh?" Four-eyes turned to face her, her eyes were all reded out "Th'frag's this?..shit don't tell me you two did a track or somethin''.. "

After waitin a little bit there seems to be no more talkin comin from Angel or her "host" so deciding she seemed to have it under control and that they needed to head out soon Quick decides to just go wait at the van.
When he gets there he finds Four-eyes and Angel already there with Angel lookin like she may need a few moments to pull herself together.
"Everything ok? Got you some food in case you were hungry." Quick hands Angel the two sandwiches he got for her and sits in the back of the van just waiting to get to land.

For the moment, Four Eyes wasn't looking at her, and Angel stays silent on the matter. She didn't make the elf beg for mercy, but then again, neither she didn't beg either. She managed to escape from the horrible situation with only her dignity damaged. Did she feel stupid? Definitely. Had she learned from her naive mistake? Certainly. Was she about to admit it to the pompous Four Eyes? Hell no.
Angel turns away from him. "No, I didn't do the drekhead." Even so, she felt like she needed a long, hot shower to scrub the imagined stench from her skin and off her soul.
When Quick gets into the van, Angel welcomes the 'out' that he was providing her. For a moment, she simply nods and takes the sandwiches. She was hungry, though at the same time she didn't really have much of an appetite. She looks at Quick and smiles. "Thanks." She replies. She puts both sandwiches in her lap and picks one up to take a tentative bite.
If either looks closely, they can see that Angel’s hands are trembling slightly. This incident had left her shaken...but also a bit wiser for it. But she does manage to speak. "I'm fine." She lies. "Really." After all, she was alive.
The boat was edging closer to the dock. Before long, they would be on Wildcat Lake. Unfortunately, short of air travel or magick she didn't have, the only way back to the Main land was on the exact same ferry. Maybe he wouldn't be working the one they took on the way back. It was all she could hope for.

As the wheels of the van finally touch asphalt instead of metal and rubber, Angel breathes a sigh of relief. She struggles to pull herself back together. After all, they were being paid to do a job, not to sit around weeping and moping over past history. Because that's what the whole ugly incident was. Past history. A learning experience, nothing more, nothing less.
She looks forward, out the windshield of the van. "So where exactly are we going?" She asks.

Four-Eyes sights "Drek didn't you listen to anything i said to 'ya?..We have to follow Chico Way for about 10 miles, then we got West and just follow the signs to Wildcat Lake. Regan goes to wildcat Lake school for girls, while mom's a middle level suit in some music corp." He lit a smoke while the van arrived at Chico Way. "From what Sugar told us, they both got cellphones, a panicbutton and some medium DocWagon contract, 'prolly Gold or somethin'. The old lady got medium corp security, so a goon or two, maybe some magic to back up, but since she's not really our goal here, 'guess that's just extra info we can get for the report."

Angel rolls her eyes at Four-Eyes remark. Was he going to be like this the whole trip? She hoped not. The van turns onto Chico Way. 10 more miles. She is quiet, almost still.

He glanced at Angel, who was sitting still, silent "Hey Angel, you understood what I said? Speak up dammit, if I wanted silence I would have brought a cement block for Christ's sake, I don't play around in other people's head, so I dunno if you got what I said, 'right?"

Quick just grins at the two of them and looks out the window. After all he was just glad they back on land for the moment no one was after him for a change.

"Yeah I heard what you said." Angel snarls. "We're driving to the lady's place, and she's got security. You want me to go astral and do some checking?" She didn't entirely trust him with her body, but what choice did she have?

"Hmm..yeah sure go ahead, do some recon from here, just watch yourself there, me and quick can't really cover you from here, k?" He smoked his cig, blowing the smoky air out from the cracked window. Four-Eyes wasn't sure about having her around, mages can do some freaky drek when they decide to go crazy, and she seems not to pleased about being here. But, he supposed, if we're stuck together, might as well keep in a professional relation for now.

When Four-Eyes agrees with her plan, Angel nods. "Can't do it right now. Need to get a bit closer to the target." She replies. While she could certainly travel there astrally, it would make her easier to track down. Plus she didn't exactly know what she was looking for.
