WHO: Whiskey and Topher, Boyd later? Who's to say.
WHERE: Rossum
WHEN: After this post
WARNINGS: NA. Terrible analogies?
SUMMARY: Words words words
FORMAT: A series of hieroglyphics

Whiskey remembers, or at the very least Claire does, that children like candy. And she knows that Topher likes snacks. So she waits by the elevator doors on the sixteenth floor, holding two suckers. Still in the white dress she was wearing a few days ago during the Dent excursion, somewhere in the back of her head she is probably glad that children don't tend to watch movies like The Grudge, The Ring or any number of horror films where the creepy dark haired girl in the white dress is the bad guy.

Well, at least she's more emotive than she used to be. And vaguely smiling when the elevator doors finally open.

Topher steps out of the elevator with exaggerated caution. Spying the lady he pauses, but curiosity gets the better of him and he steps closer to her.

"I made it by myself!" He's rather proud of himself for not only escaping, but being brave enough to do it alone.

"You did. I see that." So he gets a sucker. Hooray for Topher?

His eyes light up at the sight of the sucker and he says a quick thank you before putting the treat in his mouth. Now that he was here with the lady he wasn't so frightened of Mr. Boyd, who was apparently evil.

Glancing around the area he turned to look at the lady. "What's your name?" This seemed like an important question he has forgotten to ask before his little adventure.

Evil like Skeletor. Exactly. "My name is Whiskey."

He lets out a giggle. "That's not a name; it's a drink big people have. No, your REAL name."

Tilting her head. Watching him. "That is my real name."

"You're parents are weird." And that was that.

Reaching up he went to grab her hand. "Is this were you live?"

She'll take his hand. Why not? "No. My house is in the park. I work here."

"What do you do? Are you a secretary?"

"I'm a doctor."

Pulling his hand from Whiskey's, Topher frowned. "Like the kind that gives shots? I don't like shots."

"I'm not a children's doctor. I'm a grownup doctor."

"Oh." That wasn't so bad, but he still wasn't going to trust her TOO much just in case!

"Are we going to run away from Mr. Boyd? Can we go find Laura?"

"No, I work here so I can see if he does anything bad. If I'm here, he won't." Not really, but. Whatever. "I don't know who Laura is. I don't think she's in this city."

"Laura is my big sister."

He idly started to walk around. "She's really smart and takes care of me."

She'll take him to his own office, how about that. "That's nice of her."

More offices. Big people sure are boring.

Topher plops onto a chair and swings his legs. "Yeah. She's nice even though she's bossy." Pausing his legs he looks up a Whiskey. "Are you sure Mr. Boyd isn't going to find her? He said he would make phone calls and everything."

Hey, it's Topher's office. That's got to be the least officey thing ever, yeah?

"I'm pretty sure. But I can watch anyway."

There are a lot of toys in one corner. Neat toys that normally kids would have. Scooting off the chair he walks over with his hands behind his back and takes a closer look. GI Joes and building games (which happen to be a personal favorite of his). There's even a air hockey table.

"Is this you're office," he asks still not yet touching anything, but he really wants to.

"No. It's my friend's office. You can play with the toys, though."

She can't say it fast enough for him. His hands quickly reach for a half finished contraption that was nearly as tall as Mr. Boyd. There were instructions next to the K'nex and with a quick look Topher was snapping pieces together.

"You're friend has lots of really cool stuff. Where are they?"

She thinks about that. About what to say. It's not like she has any idea what's happened. "He went away for a little while."

"Is he coming back?" Topher lowers his voice. "Did Mr. Boyd kill him?"

"He'll be back." Shaking her head. "No. He didn't kill him."

"Are you sure? You said he was a bad guy and bad guys always kill people in movies."
