Ashlyn took a deep breath and closed her eyes, "This is scary. . ."

Bill nods in agreement. This was a reason why Magic was banned from the whole entire world. He knew that some people wanted their rights back other just wanted to live as normal as possible.

She started to hyperventilate.

"I…I don't know." Simone replied quietly. "I'd say…a man ran out of the kitchen with blood on his face. A woman ran after him, and she was probably the one who hurt him. He shot lightning at her and fled."

“Hm, okay, okay.” He wrote that down on the piece of paper and then tapped his fingers lightly against the hard wood. “This isn’t exactly normal, there hasn’t been a incident with magic ever since. .”

The ambulance workers walked into the restaurant and started to move the police woman out. The only words they spoke to the bystanders were polite requests to move out of the way. They were in and out quickly. Before they left one of the workers stepped up to Alex, "It's all taken care of Miss Law. Though may I ask why you called for us?"

"Thank you, and I am under no obligation to tell you," Alex gave him a polite smile though slightly strained, "I assume you'll take care of any problems that might happen?"

"Not my job miss," the worker responded with a shrug, "But I'm sure it'll be taken care of."

The worker left and Alex looked to the other with a shrug, "What? I'm not going to call the actual authorities when I can get a private sector to do it for me."

“Well, that was certainly a good thing. I can imagine how many questions the actual authorities would ask.” He put the pen and paper away and sighed. His golden yellow eyes glowed for a bit before going back to normal.

"I'm just going to go." She started to walk out of the diner. She didn't want to be seen there if actual authorities showed up and began to ask questions.

"I know how many the actual authorities would ask," Alex responded with a little snort, "If you all are still worried about actual authorities, they will show up, but we just got a bit more time to leave. So with that, I bid you adieu."

She walked out the door and started heading to the apartment.

"Wait, how did you get them to do that? And a private sector? Who are you?" Simone asked, starting to think that there was a lot more to this person.

Bill stayed quiet and started playing around with his fingers. He looked at Simone and then at Alex. He also looked at the door where the last person who came in had left. He closed his eyes in thought and hummed silently.

"The name's Alex Law," Alex responded looking at the waitress. Her face had a little smug smirk on, but it more looked like she was ready for the storm that was about to come, "Daughter of two of the most powerful politicians currently in the country. Before you say anything, no I don't share their beliefs, in fact I think they're both stupid for thinking the things they think."

Maddie thought frantically for a way out, a strategy, a plan she could follow. Her brain split off into two separate ideas – she could stay here and wait to find out if the authorities suspected any other magic users around the area, or she could bolt out of the cafe and run. She very much liked the latter idea, but as much as she hated the first one, she knew it was logical, and she kept telling herself, If anything happens, all I have to do is run.

Ashlyn had just gotten to the door of the apartment when she realized she didn't have the keys. She moved to grab her bag but realized that she had left it in the diner. She facepalmed and jogged back.

"You're…wow." She didn't know what to say. This person was the child of the people Simone probably hated the most in the world. On the other hand, it seemed like Alex was on the side of magic users. Maybe she could be a good ally.

"Yeah," Alex sighed and swiped at her bangs to get them out of her eyes. She looked at the waitress, "What's your name?"

"Um…Simone. Bennett," She said with a slight smile. "I really can't thank you enough for helping out. I don't know what I'd do if someone started questioning me about all this." Simone admitted, glancing out the window, looking for any sign of detectives coming to the scene.

"You lie through your teeth," Alex responded with a little grin clearly joking around. She looked out the window and saw no one coming, "If everything goes to plan, we should have another twenty minutes before the detectives come. I live not far from here if we want to continue the conversation without having to worry about being questioned."

"Oh…that would be great, thank you. And…I'm not the best liar. I don't think I'd be able to get away with that." Simone replied, slightly shocked by Alex's bluntness.

"I probably would have lied for you," Alex glanced around the room, "All of you. I take your either users or sympathizers by the way you guys were reacting? Don't worry about me spilling, I've got a few… Abilities of my own."

Simone let out a small gasp, then lowered her voice before she spoke. "You of all people should know where talk like that can get you! Do you want all of us to get killed?!"

"I've stopped caring about stuff like that a long time ago," Alex shrugged but lowered her voice to the same volume as Simone, "Let's head to my place and we can keep talking alright? No one would be able to hear us there. Anyone else down for coming?"

Bill shrugged and got up. “Me, if you don’t mind If i tag along, of course.” He looked at the empty restaurant and then at the floor. House keys where lying on the ground and he picked them up. “Looks like someone lost their keys.”

She opened the door and reached for her bag.
