Tag - Romeo and Juliet had more of a chance

"I've heard of coke being transported in liquids before and dehydration does the rest at the other end" Rebecca mused. Then she made a suggestion. "Do you think I should also make a box up for Brett. I do have a feeling he was trying to recruit me before I met you but I would like to stay on good terms with him".

She supposed without Brett inviting her in she'd never have met her girlfriend. Life was weird that way.

"Then I'll make him a box up too" she cheerfully mused. Her tail moved to a happy beat as she checked her watch. The oysters would be ready to open soon but the vegetable casserole would need another twenty minutes. Brett would see what the island had to offer in terms of produce once he got this meal.

"I'll call back some night as well. I did notice he had watchers who couldn't stay hidden very long. If they're still there I'll chase them off" she added. She had to scout that part of the slums for Dr M anyway. She might as well do a community service while she was at it.

Looking back at Alicia with a definate plan to rock her world by showing her love in action once they had dinner Rebecca knew cooking hadn't always been the hobby it was now. She'd been on her own for so long but rarely had the means to cook properly. In those early days it was a camping stove and a single pot but as she found her power increasing she didn't need the stove to make a cooking fire. When the chance presented itself she did learn more about this but rarely did she have a kitchen with pots and pans.

"I honestly don't get doing this very often as I rarely get settled long enough to do it properly. So if you want to cook feel free my love. I can do fancier things but usually didn't have what I needed either. Except for a pot and some tinned food. I could provide my own fire" she replied with a smile.

Another time she had a proper kitchen was when she was expecting Sophie and was in one place for quite a while; still under the radar but she did have a kitchen all the same. A set up Lucy took over when she had to leave her little girl behind. Now she still had to be around when the now not so little Sophie reached out.

Looking back at her girlfriend she considered what she had to say. "It is a central location; you'll be closer to work for now but you've only Brett watching you there. Away from the brothel and in a modern apartment you'll have more observation. If you have a place like mine you can come and go freely without that many cameras picking you up; I know where they are as well" she advised.

So where would be best in the long run? That was the question.

"Or share with me for a while?" she suggested. "At least until you can figure things out". A smile followed this suggestion as this was a secure residence for now.

Was somebody else pulling the strings? Brett looked like he ran the brothel when she talked to him; perhaps he didn't as Alicia was implying. It was the second thing she replied to first. "Yes Alicia. Live here with me until you figure things out. You can still go to work from here and you can see a bit of the island too; more of it eventually".

She did take note of the situation at the brothel being unclear. This was a small piece off the overall puzzle but it was the one place in the north slums where she could see people in a safe environment. Safe for the slums anyway as going out in the dark was an adventure in its own right.

Looking back at Alicia a smile followed. "That depends I suppose how long it takes to get what you need packed up. You might not need everything if you're still going to be keeping a room in the brothel to work from" she suggested. Then took out their dinner from the oven. She noted the oyster shells were mainly opened and it wouldn't take long to finish these off; the vegetable casserole was ready but just needed to cool slightly.

She hadn't really had much of a chance to play house either; the only time being when she was carrying Sophie but it was clear she was having fun doing it here.
