Into the Abyss
As Julian had said everything aligned within the week. Sebastian Shaw was in New York and everything appeared to be in motion. It hadn't been difficult to get an audience with Shaw; she'd simply called him and said she'd like to see him, perhaps have dinner? She'd offered to pick him up under the guise of wanting to show off a new car but made certain to arrive early enough that she'd have to go up to his room to meet him.

Standing outside his door, she took a deep breath before knocking. It was now or never.

Julian's presence has never been more welcome and though it takes great restraint, Kassia somehow manages not to run to him and cling for dear life. It occurs to her, in subtle ways, that she's beyond that kind of fear now.

"Yeah," she says. "I'm okay. He didn't get far." She still wanted to bathe in bleach for as far as he did get. "The son of a bitch...what he did to Tina was just the tip of the treachery.

"No one knows I'm here. Just you."

"Good. Here's what comes next. Go home, put on a new dress, and go somewhere public. Make sure a lot of people see you.

In fact, go to my club if you have to. Just be somewhere where people can corroborate your story." Julian says, loosening his tie and taking off his coat.

"You and I didn't see each other at any point this evening and that's your story, no matter who asks." Julian says with authority.

	"If I go to your club, I better the fuck not be carded because I need a drink. Understood?" Dress, visibility, total deniability. Kassia could do this. She would do this. She had to. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Instead, I have a better idea. Go to that dive burger joint near ESU. I think it's called Big...Nick's or something. Go eat, relax, call your sister or a couple of friends and make sure everyone there sees you." Julian says.

He couldn't have her getting his club shut down for underage drinking.

"I'll call you again before the night is over." Julian tells her.

"My drive is waiting a mile and a half down the road, outside the gate. Go now." Julian says.

	"...ok. Ok." She took a quick look around the room and found her purse. "Big Nick's. Got it. Thank you, Julian." She looked at him a moment and left, hurrying away from the scene of the crime and anything even remotely close to what had once been her life. New world, indeed. (Reply to this)(Parent)
