"Lau..." Nic mumbled as he blinked. And then suddenly she was gone. He blinked again, eyes darting around the crowd. But everything was starting to become a blur.

--

Raven stopped and turned back around. "... Out I guess," he replied.

Laurel wasn't visible.

--

"Where?" Wolfe asked.

"Uh.... I don't know," Raven replied.

Wolfe nodded a little.

Raven paused, accepting the awkward. "... Did you want me to stay longer?" he asked.

"I should go talk to Blaze," Wolfe decided as he stood as well.

--

After about fifteen minutes, Laurel came back through the crowd trying to find Nic.

"Kay," Raven said with a nod as he started walking out again.

--

Nic was no where in sight. Even after a thorough look, he appeared to he have left the club.

Wolfe went looking for Blaze.

--

So Laurel left, trying to spot him out.

Blaze wasn't too difficult to find; she was going about her normal routine.

--

After fifteen minutes of searching, it seemed clear that Nic didn't want to be found.

Wolfe walked up to her but stopped a bit away, not wanting to interrupt her. What he had to ask could wait.

--

When it was clear that Nic didn't want to be found, Laurel went back into the club and started looking for something again.

Blaze noticed Wolfe, but took her time finishing up what she was doing. She still seemed upset about the events of the past few days. When she was done, she turned to Wolfe.

"I have a few questions," he told her in his usually blank voice but added a more softly, "Can I sit down?"

Blaze motioned to a chair before sitting down herself.

"Firstly, have you thought about scouting for us?" Wolfe asked.

"I've put some thought into it," Blaze replied.

Wolfe nodded, "I need some information from you," he told her next.

Blaze didn't say anything as she waited for Wolfe to continue.

"You've read Nic's file," he stated.

Blaze nodded.

"Do you know of a 'David'?" Wolfe asked after a moment.

Blaze had to think about it a moment, but then she nodded.

"Was he friends with Nic?" Wolfe asked.

Blaze blinked, a little surprised at the question. "... I don't know," she replied.

Wolfe frowned a little, thinking, "Can you tell me what it said about David in Nic's file?"

"Why?" Blaze asked, still curious why Wolfe was asking about David of everyone else. "Laurel must know more about David than I do at this point."

Wolfe frowned, "Laurel? Why would Laurel know about David?" he asked.

Blaze frowned back. "... She's the closest to Nic," she replied.

Wolfe nodded but sighed, "From what we've learned about this 'David, he's not someone Nic would be eager to share with Laurel."

"Why not?" Blaze asked, curious.

Wolfe pondered telling her for a moment then shrugged, "Because he's adement that he's not Bi."

Blaze seemed completely lost now. "... You're talking about Nic?" she asked, trying to figure out what Wolfe was talking about.

Wolfe nodded, not seeming to catch her confusion.

"Okay... so even if that's true, what does that have to do with David?" she asked.

"Nic had a sexual relationship with David," Wolfe explained.

Blaze said nothing for a moment, not looking like she believed him. But then she sat back thinking something over. "No..." she mumbled, even though she seemed to be considering it. "But I guess it's not unheard of..." She seemed to get lost in her own thoughts.

Wolfe was patient for a moment before clearing his throat.

Blaze blinked, turning her attention back to Wolfe.

"What do you know about David?" Wolfe repeated.

Blaze watched Wolfe for a short moment. "You don't know, do you?" she asked more for herself than him. But then she took a few moments to consider the wisdom of sharing what she knew.

Wolfe, in all his calmness, was starting to get irritated.
