"I think she was alive, seemed to be before they chased me off."

She nodded. “Did you happen to see which way they went? Or hear where they were going?”

"I think they were in white vehicles."

"what kind of vehicles? Vans, SUVs, limos?"

"Bigger vehicles yeah vans or SUVs."

Susan looked at her friends
"Do we wait for them,  or try something else?"

Zoey looked thoughtful for a minute then nodded. “Let’s wait a little longer and see if anyone comes back. If not, we’ll go looking for them .”

Susan nodded, not having a better idea.
She looked at the homeless man
"No offence,  sir, but what is your connection with this?"

"I live here or at least I used to before these folks run me off. Its a nice place even stayed dry when we got all that rain."

Susan, a teenager who lived in a luxurious house and owned her own SUV, felt a pang of guilt at hearing the homeless man's plight.
Still, she didn't think it was time for activism.
"Um, okay...well, let's all try to stay out of sight until they get here."

“Should we let her dad know we found something?”

Susan frowned in indecision
"We don't know if we found anything yet.  But we call him if you know what you want to say."

Zoey shook her head then took out her phone. “I’ll take a couple pictures of the ritual site and send those to him, and tell him what we found and were told.  I don’t like talking to him.”

Susan frowned
"Why is that?"

“He uh, makes me nervous. He knows too much about my life and I don’t like that.”

Susan gave a wry smile
"I understand that completely "

Zoey sent the pictures to Malcolm Danvers ~we found this tonight, she was here and taken away again by people in white SUVs~

A reply comes back to Zoey ~Where are you ?~

Zoey replies back with the location of the ritual. She turns to her friends, “Let’s go. He’ll probably send someone or come himself, but I don’t want to be here by then.”

Zoey dug into her pockets and handed the man what bit of money she had on her. “I think there’s an all night cafe a few blocks from here, if you want to get something to eat.  It’s better than sticking around here for a bunch of weird people to show up.  Thank you, sir.”

The man looks at Zoey and nods, "Thank you, thank you so much. Nice to see some young folks can be generous."

He looked at them all, "You be careful, you don't want to end up like your friend."

Scene Ends

Where is everyone going next ?

Shall we regroup for a "study session " at someone's house?

I thought we were going to follow Susan’s magic trail towards Allura?

Oops!  That's right.  I'd forgotten that
