October 27, Morning (Cas)Damn. DMS. Stupid. Errg. Apparently noone snuck in and killed us last night. I hear Renee arguing with the room service boy. I shake my head and jump out of bed. Man these beds are comfortable. I slip into one of them wonderful fluffy white robes, and trot out to recharge the hyperdrive. Oh, man. I so wanna stay in a place like this without the circus of Doctors. The Icelady comes and asks to steal some of my chow. I have to think of everything here. Man..... "Sure. Dig in." Thought they'd want to actually eat. Who looks after these kids? They bicker and argue over what's goung to happen. This game is getting boring really quick. What a waste of my time. G mentions going shopping and that sure does cheer me up. Need some stuff and these Nathans are just the people to provide. Although, G is cute in a geeky, puppydog way. I point out that the center is probably safe. Its public, but they wont be alone to be picked off one by one. Doc gets narky about me mentioning the dead doc. Touchy. Still, the others look up to him and I cant see Dr Icy following an idiot and G seems to genuinly respect him. Hmm. Gotta be somethin' there. Just cant see it myself. The Doc decides that its off to the clinic. Great. I wise em up about the hotel room and changing rooms etc. Eventually they get it. These people have no idea of livin' on the streets. We all pack up. Dr Ice ignores me, Renee just waves his arms round and raves. G sees all excited and bouncy about going shopping and, I cant believe it, but so am I. Great, Cas and her nerdy new friends. 8:27am - Medical center The Doc's roll up to the clinic and start bossing people round. Im Bored. I have to wait while the Doc's work out details of working minus two geeks. He's introducing me round and he tries to expand the name. "Cassidy" he said. Im sure my eyes bugged out of my eyes. I almost tell him, but it seems sweeter to let him flounder. :) Yeah, right. Butch Cassidy. I think thats like a oldies film. Dont think ive seen it. Something about westerns or something. I try and picture myself as Clint Eastwood. Naaa. Renee leaves me in his office while they storm round, solving emergency after emergency. Man what a lot of books. I peeked in some of them and its like a different language. Probably is. I look at some of the folders on the Doc's desk and, Man, more boring crap. The come back and say they are going to take me to a santuary. Went to an animal santuary one time. I have no idea what they are talking about though. The Ice lady is against me going, but G and Renee have some weird conversation that I dont fully scope. "I dont know...." whines the Doc. "But you summoned her with the spell. And she's like a perfect gardian." argues G. Man, I got the boy, hook like and sinker. "Assuming that we think its the spell..." More spell stuff. The nark mentioned ritual magic or something the other day. Hmmmm. I wonder if.. "Ok...." decides the Doc. Oh, man. G thinks Im perfect. The geeks kinda cute, I gotta admit. Too old to split the Orio with, but.... We pop down to the santuary place and its like a library with old books, candles and stuff. They all think its pretty fly. I get to sit and wait while they read. Geeks. G seems to be gettin' into it tho. I take a peek in one of them books and its all some strange language. I think its english, but the letters are all weird. Plus it smells. Cant make out what its talking about. I ask, but Dr Ice and Renee go ballistic saying its 300 years old or something. Explains the smell, I guess. I put the book down and go back to the important task of sitting in a dimly lit carpark, waiting for some poindexters to catch up on the latest version of Nerdy Weekly. This is so wacked. Two Doc's down and they just sit and read. Man, I gotta get me some music. 10:38am - Chicago police station Renee seems to want a cavity search. He is all fired up about going to the cops. Man I wont ever dig these people. So we drive off to see CJ, all the while Ren's complainin' about me hangin' loose out the window. No feet on the dash. Dont touch this. Dont touch that. Even the radio seems to be locked out of anything with a beat. I zone and soon Ren stops ranting. Comfy wheels. Nice area with no street crime. Hmmmmm. Might just have to get me some of this action. I cant believe we are walking into a copshop. Man, I gotta make sure I dont pick up any of these bad habbits. Anyway, Ren and CJ do the offical cop dance. She asks the standard questions and he becomes moral outrage guy for a while. They dance around it, but we all know that something weird happened to dissapearing Doc and its linked to dead Doc. Bored again. Still. "Hey, Doc, gotta make some calls....." "Well why dont you... ohh take it then!!!" I catch the phone and go out to make some calls. First I called the stereo getting dude to arrange picking up he piece. I didnt want to leave these Nathan's alone for very long, so I think its spend the extra cash and get him to collect the Nine. He wants $200, but im stayin' in the Hilton, so that cant be too hard to find. Next I call the Fixer. If anyone can find out about the "Heart of All Sorrows" or the "New Inquisition" then its him. I tell him its important, which means that Ill have to pay lots for this, but also means he'll be quick if he can. Next I call DJS and tell him that I cant make it to the club and wont be able to for a while. He says its ok, but I realise now that its me who needs the club, and not the other way round. I really miss those beats. I put on a brave face, but all I seem to do at the moment is wait while the Doc's bicker. If I dont get some action soon... I call Dr G and tell him we are still on for shopping. Cool. I got a list and all. :) He seems hyped and I must be getting soft or something, but the idea of shopping with a geek seems better than sitting round while the rest of the Doc's read books and all. Man, its a poindexter week for Cas. 11:23am - Restaurant Doc insists on rolling up to the eatery where we first met. Great. Well he's paying. We roll over there in a cop car. Atleast they wont screw round with us if we arrive in a berry. CJ spots someone scopin' us. She goes and chats to him while the Doc whines at the waitress upstairs. The spotter says nothin'. No surprise there. Well Doc tires of his toys and we head back to the medical center. He finally caves and wants to get me a mobile, but I dont think Id like to go shopping with the Doc. Too much shouting "How much!??!"
