"I have never had a drink like that but I have arrested people who have had drinks like that. They tend to drink more than they can handle which is not bad it is just a lot to take in and they seem well some seem happy and others seem so giddy that it is hard to know if they are drunk on life or the punch itself or any other beverage." His biggest fear was that perhaps he was too loose. "I might be wild if I get some of that punch and who wants that." Alice Seraphim

Perhaps her duties were slightly different as she left things like that to the uniformed police; her cases were the serious ones after all and somebody who'd gotten drunk was a case that rarely one that fell into her lap. "I've heard that happens from time to time. It's Ashford PD who mainly deals with the drunks round here and usually its visitors who don't know what it can do". She looked at Laurent with understanding. "I'm sure you'll find something else to your liking instead. This island has plenty to offer but if you get some time free from your cases I can give you a tour. Perhaps an evening once Lucas gets back from work". She knew the limitations on her time at present and that the little ones did need looked after. Laurent Dumas

"I have never been here at night naturally," he said. "Whenever the time allows just let me know." He was understanding as he should be of people having to fit their time around and that was fine with him. "Does it look truly different at night?" He took a second. "Oh I am trying the punch, I just have no idea when. It will need to be a night when I am off the next day." Alice Seraphim

"It does Laurent. It feel different at night as well" she replied. "Especially round the dockside bars and restaurants. That's if you going west. If you go east it takes you into the beaches and the coast road that leads into the old town and from there the slums. There's also a movie theatre in malls top level". She considered other things he might be interested in as well. "We also have a fitness centre with a gym, a public swimming pool, baseball cages, tennis courts and a volleyball court. Beyond that is an athletics track so there's something for the body and mind". Even the west slum could be enjoyable if you were careful. Though the night workers had claws. Laurent Dumas

"Wow there is a lot more around here than I would have first thought," he said honestly. "That is actually good," he said. "It's good to know how much one can explore so I will take your advice. I have a little something anyway that they want me to check out at the docks so that will probably be where i start." Alice Seraphim

"The docks do sound like a good start. You have the marina and the farmers market once you go west from there" she replied and then Ayden started to cry. Having a wet nappy was no fun so that left mommy to deal with it. It did need a process of elimination as he couldn't tell her directly. So trying the bottle, then a a cuddle revealed it might be a nappy problem. "Duty calls I'm afraid. I won't be long" as she carried her son to the bathroom. Aurora was content to slumber on not woken up by her brother. Laurent Dumas

It was all new and a bit of a lot to him to see Alice with children but she seemed to have it handled well enough but two kids at once he knew he would rather die. "No problem," he said as he looked around. How people could be content like this to him was still a mystery but all in all as long as someone was happy that was all he could ask for, for anyone.

Aurora was stirring slightly as Alice returned with her happier looking son. They didn't look much like her at the moment but they might later on. He looked very content in her arms as well. So sitting down still holding him this felt natural to her. It would be unnatural for others and they were learning as parents. The next stage would be crawling and eventually teething but right now they just wanted to drink milk and sleep. So a few days later on it was time to take Laurent on an evening drive. At this point she still had her red jeep that was her work vehicle but she'd need an off duty vehicle at some point and she'd meet him here when Lucas would be taking over the child care.

Just looking and meeting Alice during the evening time he could easily tell how it was different but he was not intimidated by it, he actually found that it was okay but he knew that he would forever be cautious which he thought was good. He spotted her and made his way over still being cautious. "Hi," he said. "You would not believe the things I seen just getting here." Alice Seraphim

Alice couldn't leave the maternity wear behind just yet as she hadn't her figure back so wore a loose blouse over denim jeans and a black jacket. She gave a wave back along with a happy flap of her wings. "Really? You can tell me all about it while we drive west" she replied as she slipped into the driving seat of her red jeep. It wasn't raining so the hood was down and this journey would take them beyond the city and the chance to see a lot more. Laurent Dumas

Laurent was at times too stiff and he knew that he needed to loosen up but he did not have that problem with Alice probably because they both took their work a bit too serious at times but to him that just meant that they were more aware of how the world worked and that was not a bad thing at all. "Really Alice," he said. "I hardly ever joke," he said as he laughed. He knew that was something that he needed to work on through but in time he figured. Alice Seraphim

"Jump in in that case" Alice replied and once he was in the passenger seat he'd notice it looked just like a civilian type jeep. Which it was since hers wasn't armoured and she'd moved she police gear to the jeep Francis was using. She still had a long tyre iron beside her which doubled as an improvised weapon. "So what did you see before you got here?" she curiously posed as she picked up speed and left the apartments behind. To go west to needed to head east and then turn off at the coast road. Even in the early evening you had a rush hour so they'd have time to talk as they got through the mini traffic jam. Laurent Dumas

"Depends on what you mean, the last case I worked before I arrived on the island was a bit bloodier than usual, actually left me a little disturbed and empty feeling but before we met up, I seen chickens. I did not even know this place had chickens and then that made me realize I do not know the last time I actually seen something like a chicken, the small things we take for granted but do not mean to."

Alice glanced back at Laurent knowing what he meant. Francis and herself had cases like that too as there was police cases that showed just how inhumane a person could be. "Chickens? I've seen a herd of goats before while driving some girlfriends to a trip to a beach. We have a farmers market and the farms tend to be further inland from the city" she suggested. "The market is the best place to get the freshest food on the island and well as fish" she added. The traffic was starting to break up now so she could keep driving. Before long they were on the coast road and heading west away from the city proper. She knew there were private residences further out but not much in the way of people. Laurent Dumas

"Exactly," he said. "Why would chickens be here but I tried not to think about it too much because I guess things migrate or maybe could come in on the ships either way I am trying to adjust and since my apartment should be ready soon I am not trying to think too much about it. Want to have a good time and make friends and thanks. I plan to go to the market soon, on a pretty day those seem very nice here." Alice Seraphim
