Jaden nodded.

"Of course." he replied.

He then looked at the folder again, and bit his lower lip slightly.

".....right." he mumbled, putting the file off to the side.

"Anyway." he said.

"Oh yeah, you sure you're okay with giving me a bag of that Gold-Rush Bounty coffee?" he asked.

"That shit's expensive."

"Of course I am." She told him honestly.

"I have a couple bags, actually." She added. "So why not share with my son? Besides, Ash is the only other one I know who regularly drinks coffee."

"And, oddly enough, he's not a huge fan of that stuff." She added with a shrug.

"regardless, I know you enjoy it, and consider it part of the payment for helping me out here." She said with a smirk.

"I'll figure out what else to throw at you for this at some point."

Jaden just chuckled.

"Well, then. Fair enough." he said.

"Though payment is not needed. However, I also know it's pointless to argue." he muttered.

After they ate, they reconvened to the den area, and were discussing their plan.

"So I assume I will need to find a way to get close." he told her.

"In some organic way." he went on.

"We need to think up a plausible excuse."

"Overall, that's pretty easy, I think." She commented.

"I happen to know she's taking philosophy in the local university." She then said with a nod.

"I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to set up a small performance there."

"....say now." Jaden mumbled.

"Yeah, that can be arranged." he said.

"Especially considering philosophy deals with the fundamental nature of reality, among other things. he continued. "And my performances are considered to be 'reality-defying'." he went on.

"I'll need to speak with my agent about it." he then said, before pausing.

"Unless you can bypass her and just set it up." he went on.

"Regardless, she'll need to know I'll be performing there." he said further.

"Give me her contact information." She told her son.

"I'll work with her to get the thing set up." She added with a nod.

"Not entirely sure as to all the details for the moment, of course." She added. "Those'll be figured out in the next day or so, I think." she paused.

"I think I know someone who may be in contact with her Dean, as well. May."

Jaden grabbed a scrap of paper and a pen, and wrote a number down, before handing it to her.

"Here." he said.

"That's her personal number." he told her.

"As well as her work number." he went on.

"I'll let her know to expect a call from you, so you'll have an easier time getting through." he added.

"But I'll leave the red tape and string-pulling to you. You have WAY more connections than me, to massively understate it."

"Comes with my position." She commented with a laugh.

She sighed as she stood on the step, a parasol on her hands, as she knocked on the door.

"hey Kalin." She greeted when the door was answered.

"Sydney? I didn't expect to see you here, I admit." The lawyer commented as she stepped out of the way.

"Please, come in." She added.

"Is Rene home?' Sydney asked as she stepped inside, closing the parasol.

"Yeah, he's downstairs swimming. Want me to get him?" Kalin answered as she closed the door.

"Please."

"Will do. I have some coffee perking, feel free to have some if it finishes while you're here." With that, Kalin headed off to grab the man in question

When she went downstairs, she had a choice. She had two pools, one for swimming, the other one her own personal aquarium. And she had a feeling she knew which one Rene was in.

Sure enough, when she went to the aquarium, she saw a bunch of her fishes swimming around in it. Many endangered and rare, being kept there as part of a preservation program, many not meant for the mortal populace to see. And there were a few sharks in it as well... but, at largest, they grew to be a metre in length.

But she saw a humanoid figure swimming around with all the fish, and noticed as a shark approached... and the figure started to pet the shark's nose.

After a few seconds of that, the figure seemed to notice Kalin was there, and rose to the surface, revealing the green-haired man in question.

"Yo." he said, as the shark circled around.

"Sup?" he asked.

"And yeah, seems... what'd you name this one? Bruno? Seems he likes to have his nose petted." he then added.

"Of course you're in this one." Kalin said with a sigh as she stood on the plexiglass covering.

"Come on. Sydney's here to see you." She said simply.

"So dry off and get your ass upstairs." She added before turning away from him.

"And I know. When I reach my hand in there, he's always the one that comes up for attention, oddly enough." With that, she started making her way back to the doorway out of the room, a bit of a smirk to her voice.

Rene raised an eyebrow as Kalin sai what she did, and turned to the shark.

"She's an enigma." he muttered.

"I'll be up there in 10, max!" he called to her.

Sure enough, about 8 minutes later, he had gotten out of the 'aquarium', dried himself off, changed into some casual clothing, and made his way upstairs, to the den, where the two women were.

"Ladies." he greeted them.

"What's up, Sydney?" he asked their visitor.

"Booty call?" he asked further with a laugh... but also a vague undertone of hope to his voice.

"I'd rather not tear you apart, again, REne." Sydney commented with a smirk.

"But it's for my son. I've tasked him to protect a young magician that my sources say is in trouble." She continued after a few seconds, her tone serious.

"I was wondering if you could help with getting him a chance to do a performance at the local university within the next three days."

Rene paused for a moment, and pondered it.

"Hmmmmm..." he mumbled.

"Ah!" he said, snapping his fingers.

"Yeah! I can!" he told her.

"I think I know just the way to." he continued.

"I'll get right on that." he said further.

"Also, protection of a young magician?" he asked.

".......seems like an odd assignment."

Sydney sighed lightly.

"I know, it is odd, but ... " She sighed again.

"I got the information, and the source is one I trust almost implictly." She added.

"Who is the magician you're sending Jaden after anyway?" Kalin asked.

"I may be able to help." She then added. Sydney paused a moment before sighing.

"Desiree McCormick." Sydney answered, unaware of if they knew her.

Immediately, Rene froze.

"...excuse me?" he asked.

"Did you just say 'Desiree McCormick'?" he asked her.

"I did." Sydney confirmed.

Rene looked at Kalin, and then back towards Sydney, confusion and concern in his expression.

"This IS worrisome." he said.

"She's the sweetest thing." he commented further.

"You two know her?" Sydney asked.

"We do. I help to arrange/manage Desiree's shows." Kalin commented.

"Along with Jaden's." She added. Sydney paused a moment.

". . . . I... never knew you worked with Jaden at all." She admitted, which net a shrug from Kalin.

"Not surprising. I don't have my name or face anywhere near his." The lawyer commented.

"Regardless, I could probably do something to help, if you give the information." Sydney paused as Kalin said that.

"Howso..?" The vampire asked.

"Easy. A joint show between the two. It would definitely help to protect her."

Rene smirked.

"That'd be perfect." he said.

"Actually... I think it'd be good for Desiree." he then said further.

"She doesn't idolize Jaden... far from it... but she DOES respect him and look up to him, in a professional way." he told Sydney.

"Granted, they have VERY differing styles of show, but she appreciated how he went from an underground weirdo of a magician, to one that has some serious street cred." he went on.

"...she really doesn't seem to be the type to like the crowd he attracts, though." he then mumbled.

"But seeing as the venue is her school, and it's an impromptu show, that shouldn't be a big issue." he reasoned.

"And if we can't get it at the school it's not even a problem." Kalin commented.

"I manage both of them." She continued. "I can get a joint show with both of them at any location I want." She paused before looking to Sydney.

"Date in specific?" She asked the vampire.

"this weekend; Saturday." was Sydney's answer.

"Easy. My club will be open. You have any idea for time frame?" Kalin asked.

"Around 8pm is the intended time." Kalin nodded.

"Perfect. Easy enough. I have some calls to make." The lawyer said before heading off.

Rene watched Kalin go, before sitting down and looking at Sydney.

"Watch." he said.

"Give her 35 minutes, tops." he told her.

"She'll come back, and EVERYTHING will have been set up. Perfectly." he said further.

He was then silent, before sighing heavily.

"Still..." he mumbled. "To think there's going to be an attack on her." he went on.

"I'd say it's unthinkable, but... well... from what I've heard, her past is filled with violence towards her." he continued.

"Life just isn't fair."

Sydney sighed lightly.

"I don't know too much." She admitted.

"And I don't feel it's my place to give what little information I do have." She added.

"And I hope that Kalin sets it up well."
