The janitor put his one arm behind his back and stared at her with an eagle's gaze. "If you aren't prepared for what this city gives you then perhaps you should go home, or get someone to help you."

"Nope, not leaving now." Thala said, "But I know someone who can help me out. He's helped me out already." Thala said, "I'll get him when I'm done with the floors and ceiling." She said waiting for him to suddenly give her more work.

The janitor put his fingers on his chin with a smile as he thought about it. "If you want to show initiative I suggest that you go fetch the sign first." He finally said and took out the cab fair to hand to her. "We can't have a police station without a proper sign after all. And you can pick up this person along the way if you think he's trustworthy."

"Alright, I'll get right on that." Thala said, taking the money and setting down the bucket.

The janitor nodded and went back to his chair.
Sleight finally got his box downstairs and into the alley. It was a large magician's box, the kind you put swords in or have people disappear. He didn't take everything in his apartment, just a suitcase with close and some food that wouldn't spoil, and the box. He figured he may as well travel light if he's going to find a place to crash until he can afford a real apartment again. He looked up to his old home. Well, no use to dwell on it, he thought and sat down on his suitcase.

OOC: Is it reasonable to assume Thala is just going to run into Sleight, because she doesn't know the area. BIC: Thala left out, still in her uniform, to find Sleight and get this sign.

ooc: Yes, she she goes looking for him I'd have them meet up completely by accident. Or if she went to Jimbo to find out or whatever she did. But until you either look for Sleight or go to the sign company I don't really have anything to post.

OOC: Just a quick post to attach a question to. I was going to have her go to Jimbo.
BIC: Thala, after leaving the building, made her way to where she'd been not a few hours ago. She looked for the shady character which seemed to know the town.

Jinbo was at his usual spot selling his usual wares.

Thala walked up to Jimbo, "Hey! I need to talk to you." She said, firm but not to intimidate or anything.

"Seems like you're doing a good job of that already." Jimbo said with a smile. "Maybe you need to buy a watch? A wallet?"

"I need to know where Sleight is. We've got some unfinished business." She said in a no nonsense manner.

"Strange that his accomplish doesn't know where to find him." Jimbo said. "But then I heard it was quite a messy situation you had yesterday. I'm surprised you both made it out alive."

"We're tougher then we look." Thala bragged a bit, "Anyway, where is he? Or would he be."

"Since the tickets you guys got me last night sold for quite a bit I'll give you this one for free." Jimbo said writing down the address and directions for her. "But just this one. The next time you want information bring cash. Oh, and feel free to bring your attitude along, I always charge extra for that." He winked and handed her the paper.

"Depends on if I'm working or not. Gotta keep my image." Thala said taking the paper, "Thanks."

Jimbo went back to selling his wares, without so much as a second glance at Thala.

Thala followed the directions until she was outside of the apartment. She went to ring for his door number.

"Miss Stone! What brings you all the way over to this side of town?" Sleight called out to her from the alley. He was now lounging on his suitcase with a soda in his hand and sunglasses on.

Thala looked over, "You actually. What you doin' out here? Skipping town already?" she asked walking up to him.

"I'm sorry I can't offer you a seat, but I can offer you a soda, they're warm though." He smiled up at her. "This town doesn't take kindly to freeloaders. You're rent has to be paid on time every time."

"That so? Explains why you were willing to go up against the robbers. Anyway, I've got a job offer for you. Which seems well timed given your present financial situation." Thala said and passed on the soda.

"As a janitor?" Sleight asked. "I make more money in a week than you do in two months, at least I will once my hand's healed. Why would I want to mop floors? It won't even cover half my rent."

"It comes with a room at the Precinct. And I don't mean a cell." She said as extra incentive.

Sleight laughed. "Well I could use a roof over my head until I get back on my feet. This is temporary right?" Sleight asked suspiciously. "You're not setting me up for some five year 'improvement' plan."

"Nope." Thala said confidently before realizing all the work she;d been asked to do. She figured she'd keep it to herself though and stuck with her answer.

"Then how can I say no." He said standing up. "Do you think you could help me with this?" He said putting his hand against the side of the box.

"Don't see why not. We need to catch a taxi across town. Perhaps you know the area?" She said, testing the box for weight while explaining the sign job.

The box wasn't too heavy, made from a good bit of wood, but still easy to move around. "Yeah, I know the area." Sleight told her. "It's basically your industrial part of the city. Lot's of warehouses and factories out that way. You have some gangs hanging out there, but mostly it gets left alone."

Thala Started to hail a cab, "So long as you know the area." She said as she waited.
