[Rinrou]

No one woke Raven up. Frei would be staying behind with him. So the rest of the group fanned out to search and the day passed with no sign of Laurel.

"Do you think they took her out of Chicago?" Snow asked Blaze as she headed towards the next building to scout.

[Kaliko]

"... I don't know," Blaze replied honestly.

[Rinrou]

Snow sighed a little, "I should have Laurel implanted with a tracking device when we get back," she muttered as they continued to search.

Around dusk Snow got a call. "It's Wolfe," she told Blaze before answering. Her expression quickly turned to disbelief before she quickly hung up. "Laurel's bracelet is turned back on," she said quietly, "Suddenly, it turned back on."

[Kaliko]

Blaze seemed a little suspicious. "... Where is it?" she asked.

[Rinrou]

Snow pulled out a tablet as Wolfe sent the coordinates. "... Right in the center of Chicago. At the fountain in central square." She cussed a little, "This has trap written all over it."

[Kaliko]

Blaze shook her head a little, seeming to agree with Snow. "... I know the area a little better," she said. "I can try to sneak a peek."

[Rinrou]

Snow nodded, "Let's go, I'll message the others on the way." She quickly hijacked some unlucky person's hoovercraft and motioned Blaze to get it.

[Kaliko]

Blaze did, and made her way toward the central square.

[Rinrou]

Snow let Blaze sneak in.

When Blaze got to the fountain, Laurel was indeed there. She was sitting on the edge, seemingly preoccupied with a tablet in her hands. She was wearing oversized sunglasses, a black croptop and formfitting pants. Overall, nothing seemed out of the ordinary, almost like she was waiting for them to come pick her up.

[Kaliko]

"What do you think?" Blaze asked Snow.

[Rinrou]

Snow was looking at the surrounding area. It was pretty crowded, "I'm not sure. But I don't think the Okorie are the type to attack with so many witnesses."

[Kaliko]

Blaze agreed. "Call up Wolfe," she suggested since it looked like they could spare another minute or two.

[Rinrou]

Before Snow could call Wolfe, Laurel stood up and started walking right towards them.

"... huh?" Snow muttered, wondering how Laurel could have possibly spotted them.

[Kaliko]

"... What now?" she asked.

[Rinrou]

"I... don't know," Snow replied as Laurel walked closed.

She got within ten feet of the two women before looking around again. It looked like she didn't know their exact position.

[Kaliko]

"Should we make a quick run for the jet?" Blaze asked.
