"Good, I trust you know our nearest stronghold. Meet me there, tell them you have an appointment with me."

She nodded slightly. "Very well. Though I do have one more question."

"Fire away." Echo made finger guns.

"How old is he?" She asked, looking at him.

"About forty-five, I think. He's got greying hair." Echo combed his fingers through his own hair. "Not unlike mine." He smiled.

She nodded. "Good." She said, turning around. "I will see you soon."

"Bring me his head." Echo laughed as he walked away.

She flipped him a v as she walked, singing the tune she was humming before. "I am an Antichrist, I am an anarchist…"

"Good for you! I'm unsane!" He called over his shoulder.

She bit back a laugh, digging another cigarette and lighter out.

The next day, Echo sat at one of his favorite places to relax, (Open for @Emmylove-is-Sherlock-Holmes )

Looking around cautiously, Adrestia snuck along the edges of an alleyway toward an abandoned shop where she often met up with a friend of hers.
(Eh? Idk.)

"You brought the goods?" Echo turned around to face the newcomer.

Rolling her eyes, Adrestia replied sarcastically, "no, I just came here for the company." Shaking her head, she took the satchel off her shoulder and threw at him.

Echo chuckled and caught the bag and opened it, taking a long sniff. "Ahh, that's the stuff. How did you say you made it again?"

"That's a secret I'll keep to my grave," she told him coolly. "I believe you owe me something in return?"

"Sharp as ever." He rifled through his pockets. "How much did we agree on?"

"57," she informed him, leaning against the wall. "Plus a favor."

He tossed the girl a roll of bills. "What'd you have in mind?"

Pocketing the cash, Adrestia shrugged. "I'll think of something."

Echo smiled. "Call me when you do." He laid back in his chair and closed his eyes.

Echo bolted upright. "I just remembered! I've got a secret if you can count that as a favor!

"Obviously," she responded, looking around quickly before starting back down the alleyway. "Same time next week?"

"Sounds good! You want the gossip now or then?" He chuckled.

Adrestia stopped short and slowly turned around, crossing her arms as she leaned against the wall. "Okay, fine, what is it?"

Cassandra managed to sneak back into her strong hold. And was quickly confronted by a sleepless child, who she gently sent back to bed with a kiss on the forehead before getting to work.
