Sight Seeing

[Cass]

"I like wasabi," Cass said with a smile. She loved anything spicy. "Rogan josh is lamb curry made with spices and tomatoes. You eat it with naan, which is a flat bread. It's delicious. And lychees are white fruits that you peel and eat. They are so sweet." She grinned and looked out to sea.

His next comment made her jump and she looked at him again with wide eyes. "You were witness to the JFK assassination?" Of course he would have been, being over two hundred years old. Wickedly grinning she punched him lightly in the arm and added: "So who did it then?"

[Chase Parker]

"Corporal Roger O’Brien," he said with a wicked grin. "He is your trigger man the one that took the shot." he told her before throwing her a wink. "Only reason I know this is because I was the man they sent to kill him. Conspirators always forget to cover their tracks and when they realised that the sniper might be caught they paid me to silence him. I was in London at the time having dinner with the duke of Yorkshire."

[Cass]

"You are no fair," she said. "I've used up almost a quarter of my questions already and all you've asked is my favorite food." But she couldn't resist. "Why did they want you to kill Kennedy?" So it wasn't Oswald after all, it was this O'Brien kid. She thought the name was familiar but she was too intrigued to really question it. She wondered if he was going to make her use up all her questions on this one topic. No fair teasing the curious kitten.

She turned in his grasp to lean her head on his shoulder and look at him, eagerly awaiting his answer.

[Chase Parker]

"Money they were smuggling drugs out of Vietnam and they were using military transports to move it,” he said as he moved closer to her his arm soon warping around her waist in a very subconscious gesture for comfort. "Since JFK wanted to pull them out of Vietnam and that would have killed the hole operation."

“So tell me should I buy you satin lace or silk?” he asked her in an attempt to embarrass her. “oh and what size should they be?”

[Cass]

That was quite an interesting take on the famous conspiracy theory. Cass grinned playfully at him noticing his arm snaking about her waist. She snuggled up to him and let him draw comfort from her if he needed it. All thoughts of work were now strictly on hold. She wasn't even thinking about her next experiment.

Especially when he began to ask her about fabrics. Satin, lace, or silk and what size should they be? What was he talking about? She tilted her head and regarded him in bewilderment. "Never lace, too itchy," she responded at least partially. Whatever he was describing, Cass knew lace wasn't a part of the issue. She couldn't stand lace. While she was a woman and liked female things as much as the next person, she drew the line at the harsh and frilly fabric.

[Chase Parker]

“Ah so strictly a silk and satin for you?" he said as he let his face continue in that silly grin of his "but if your not going to give me your sizes? Well then i guess ill just have to raid your underwear draw to find out,” he said as he let his hand fall to the curve of her ass. While most would suspect him of doing it just to cop a feel he had an alternative reason for it in his mind. He was checking to see just what type she usually wore.

[Cass]

His hand slid down to her butt and Cass flinched in surprise. The move was not totally unwelcome but it was a shock. She looked to see a teenage boy nearby sneaking glances pervert and an elderly grandmother shaking her head (funny). "And what gets you so interested in my underwear? You tend to get rid of it more than look at it," she snarked at him, smiling devilishly. Truth be told she wore silk - she needed something soft around that area of her body.

[Chase Parker]

"Well excuse me but you were the one to disrobe your self in front of me" he said with a loud chuckle and a grin. "Not that I'm complaining mind you but I thought perhaps well I better get an early start on your birthday present other wise trust me ill forget." he then threw her a wink and a chuckle. "And at my age the mind is the first thing to go. Well actually the only thing."

[Cass]

"As i recall it, you were the one in my shower without my knowledge or without your clothes," Cass snapped back, feeling her stomach do a funny little twist. It was a warning sign and she paid heed to it. "They're silk," she added and moved away from him, turning back to the ocean and letting the wind take her hair. She noticed the shadow was much larger now. "Is it time to go to the island?"

The teenage boy had managed to slip in a little closer and he spoke up now: "Next ferry's in ten minutes." When Cass looked at him he smoothed back his hair and stood a little straighter, glancing over her and then giving Chase a once over too.

"Thank you," Cass said with a smile and the boy reddened.

[Chase Parker]

"A man's not aloud to shower and shave now?" he said in mock out rage. befor glancing over at the young man and suddenly frowning as he looked down to his hand and walked off.

"Not so fast boy" he said as he moved away from Cass and garbed his arm. "Hand it over," he said as he tightened his grip and held out an open palm. The young man seemed of course to be in a state of pure shock as he looked up to Chase and let out a loud gulp before pulling out Cassandra's purse and handing it over to him.

"Next time pick your targets more carefully" was all he said before turning from away from him and returning to Cass.

[Cass]

Cass accepted the purse sheepishly. She hadn't even thought the boy was close enough to grab her purse, much less grab it without her knowing. She muttered a "thank you," to Chase, her face reddening, and looked out to sea in an effort to hide the fact that she was really embarrassed.

[Chase Parker]

"Your welcome" he said as he smiled at her and slid his hand around her waist again before looking out to the sea as well. "You don't know what to look for when it comes to sneaks. I...." he said as he suddenly froze and then went to look down at his wrist.

"That little sneak" he said as he let out a light growl of some one who was more annoyed at himself then at the boy in question. "That thing stole my watch!"

[Cass]

Cass looked up - the boy wasn't running, he was walking away. She grabbed Chase's wrist and pointed. "He's not too far away. You can still catch him if you need to." Her eyes darted around, looking for shadows for Chase to shift into. With the sun almost completely beneath the horizon, she realized he had some serious chances. "Look at all the shadows!"

She looked up at him wondering if he'd go through with it.

[Chase Parker]

"No he took it fair and square,” Chase said as he shook his head and chuckled "I am just annoyed at my self" he said as he smiled and went to grab her hand. "Come with me I have a surprise for you" he said as he went to lead her back to a dark ally that was not far from them.

Once there he let his hand snake around her waist and pulled her in close to him his lips touching her lips in a slow but none the less passion filled kiss as he started to shift the pair of them to the base of the massive statue.

[Cass]

Fair and square - well she should have expected nothing less from a ninja when it came to battle. She watched the boy make his way down the streets with a sigh, and then noticed that the base of the statue had a shadow finally covering it. She gave a little shudder, knowing he would soon say it was time to go. It wouldn't be that bad, just a feeling of cold nothingness, but if she held on to him she wouldn't fall into that blackness between worlds. And if she didn't open her eyes she wouldn't see the yawning abyss.

Chase pulled her to a nearby alley and she chuckled. "The girl in the alley isn't always asking for it," she said, wondering just what he had in mind. Her body gave a little tingle of anticipation though, especially when he slid an arm around her waist. When he lowered his head to kiss her a huge grin split her face, making it awkward to kiss at first, but pretty soon she had melted open under his passion. She slipped her arms around his neck and then jumped, wrapping her legs around his waist.

She felt the world open up around her and a little alarm bell went off in her head. She held him tighter, not sure what was going on but really enjoying the kiss too much to stop.
