"An elf?" Lindsay asked.

"Well, I can sure try." he told her.

"When does he need me there?" he asked her.

"ASAP." Kiah replied.

"Hmmm." Lindsay mumbled.

"I DO have tomorrow off..." he said. "And I wasn't going to do anything with it, until the evening..." he admitted further.

"If tomorrow works, I can be at the building first thing in the morning." he told her.

"And by that, I mean at around 9. California time." he clarified.

Kiah nodded.

"I'm sure that'd work perfectly." She told him.

"And thank you, Lindsay." She added.

"Not sure what it is that is going on, but I know that Hal will appreciate your help - or at least your attempt."

"Of course." Lindsay replied.

"...." he was then silent, before thinking a for a moment.

"I'll need to meet with someone beforehand for some preliminary information, though." he continued.

"Basically, anyone that knows ANYTHING about this person." he clarified.

"Even if they're just there to meet me at the security check, and fill me in along the way."

"Will most likely be Hal or Angela." was Kiah's answered.

"I'm not entirely sure, but if I were hazard a guess, those are my suspicions." She added.

"And of course, he's more than willing to pay you for your time." She aded with a soft smile. "You know he pays well, too. If that's of concern, that is."

"Whatever he feels is appropriate." Lindsay replied.

"I do what I do to help people." he told her.

Then, before either of them could say anything more, a delectable aroma wafted out from the window, towards them.

"Hm?" Lindsay mumbled.

"Smells good." he commented.

"It really does." Kiah agreed with a chuckle.

"Then again, I told Ash to feed me, so ... of course it smells good. You should know as well as I do that he will always deliver. Cooking is basically the one thing that anyone can order him to do and he'll do it happily." She added with a laugh.

"Which is definitely good... at least one person in this house can cook. Casey burns everything, you can... kinda... Ashleigh, I admittedly have no idea on."

Lindsay just laughed a little at her comments.

"To be fair to Casey, there are a FEW things she can make." he said.

"I'm competent. Which is to say, I can take care of myself, and I can make food for the house if need be. I'm average, essentially." he continued.

"And as for Ashleigh, she's stellar at barbequing, let me tell you." he then added. "Seriously, she's pretty much on par with Ash when it comes to it." he muttered, shaking his head.

"Also, yeah. Tell Ash to cook, and he'll do it. He'll take any excuse." he chuckled.

"Regardless, when you head back, tell your boss what I said." he finished, returning to why she'd come in the first place.

Kiah nodded.

"Oh, of course." She said.

"And fair. It makes sense that Ashleigh can cue well." She commented.

"Considering the whole dragon fire thing." She added with a light shrug.

"And yeah, I'll give that information to him when I get back there. Thanks again."

"You're welcome." Lindsay responded.

The next day, Lindsay arrived at the unit at about 8:45 in the morning, to find Jake there, paper down, halfway through a giant mug of coffee.

"Ah, hello, Dr. Lindsay Fyrane, here at the request of Agent Sharp." Lindsay introduced himself. He knew Jake probably knew who he was, as he'd been here before on occasion, but knew that protocol was best observed when security was involved.

Jake looked at him, darted his tongue out momentarily, and nodded.

"Got it." he replied, before activating the PA system for the building.

"Agent Edwards to security check, please! Agent Edwards to security check!" he said into it.

Sure enough, they weren't waiting for long before a blonde with some blue in her hair stepped into the room.

"Jake, I'm technically not an agent here, you know that." She commented with a light laugh.

"Anyway, what's up?"

Jake just rolled his eyes.

"At the same time, you CAN be considered as such. You ARE on call for field medic duties, if things get bad enough." he reminded her.

"They just... never have, thankfully." he reasoned.

"And Dr. Fyrane is here to see our guest." he then told her.

"Ah, hello." Lindsay greeted Angela.

"Yes, Kiah told me there was someone here that wasn't talking, and the one in charge here thought I might be able to help." he told her.

Angela paused a moment.

"I... Had no idea anyone was coming by, admittedly." She said before pausing.

"Or rather, that it would be so soon. I was literally talking to Sharp about thag yesterday." She added before shaking her head.

"Anyway, come on. I'll take you to where you're going. Have you spoken to Sharp yet, or should we make tht a stop?"

"Perhaps Agent Sharp should know I'm here." Lindsay responded.

"Already on it." Jake told them, on his phone.

"He says he'll meet you on the way to where she is." he said further.

"...'she' being te patient." he clarified.

"Anyway, in you go." he finished, buzzing Lindsay in.

"Shall we?" Lindsay asked Angela.

"OF course, let's go." Angela said with a nod befor ethey headed off.

"So... the basic information for the girl is as follows." She started as they walked, knowing that he wanted the information.

"She's... I suspect a wood elf. Found in the ocean. Probably dumped there, at least that's my suspicion." She paused a moment before sighing lightly.

"She's also a mute, bu I cannot find anything medically supporting it. She has scarring, but as far as I can tell, it's purely on the surface, doesn't damage the internals of her throat at all - or her voice box."

Lindsay scratched at his chin a little, taking in what she told him.

"Hmmm, I see." he said.

"Yes, that DOES sound like it could be mental scarring." he told her.

"I'll see what I can do." he continued, as Hal came into view.

"That's all we ask." he said.

"Thank you for coming in on such short notice, Dr. Fyrane." he told Lindsay.

"Not a problem." Lindsay assured him.

"And she doesn't seem to be hostile, or anything?" he asked Angela.

"Not at all." Angela answered with a shake of her head.

"If anything... she seems really pathetic." She added.

"It's unfortunate, if I'm being honest. To see an elf beaten down that much..."

"Hmmm." Lindsay mumbled.

"I see." he said.

"Yes, it certainly is a shame." he agreed, as they made their way to the dorm that she was staying in.

Once there, Hal knocked on the door.

"Hello!?" he called in.

"We have someone who wishes to speak with you!" he said further.

"She's probably in." he then said. "She hardly ever leaves."

"We don't even have a name for her." Angela added after a second or two before they heard a faint knocking. It was how she'd taken to saying that she was in, and that they were welcome to enter, as she couldn't call out to them.

"Well, sounds like we have the approval for entrance." She added before pausing.

"Although are all three of us required?" She asked.

"If I'm here, Hal, you can take off." She added. "As I'm not sure if there's any benefit to have all three of us here."

Hal just nodded in response.

"Very well." he replied.

"Let me know how things go." he told them, before heading off.

Once he was gone, Lindsay opened the door, and began to step in.

"Hello, th-" he started to say, before freezing when he saw who was there.

"Oh... oh my goodness..." he commented, a hushed tone to his voice, and shock in his eyes.

Angela followed Lindsay into the room, pausing at his shock.

"Do you know her?" She asked before looking toward the elf. The brunette elf was on her feet and looking rather stunned herself.

". . . I'm going to guess you two do."
