As Justina rummaged through the desk he kept an eye on it as well as the rest of the room, in case Zach’s abrupt arrival attracted any more attention. Taking the paper with her name and number on it Simeon gave her a smile as he tucked it away into a pocket. “Then I will see you at the appointed time.” Perhaps alone and without interruption.
Turning he gave Zach a smile, that didn’t ‘quite’ reach eyes as he strode over towards the two of them. He Heard the young woman’s request and on instinct grab a lighter from a pocket and flicked it. “Here you go miss.” He looked her directly in the eyes, in order to draw her attention away from Zach.

Justina gave Simeon a parting smile and gave him the default hand sign for "call me", which was the same in every language, in every culture that had phones.
"You're funny," the woman laughed, but when Simeon arrived, she focused her attention on him rather than Zachary. Simeon got the feeling he knew her from somewhere. She took the lighter from him, and he noticed her hand was shaking slightly, and her laugh had been forced. "Simeon," she said. "I hope you don't mind... I followed you. I need your help. Christina said you could help me... she's the only one who believed me. Please." She looked on the verge of tears. There was a pleading desperation in her voice. And of course, Zachary was oblivious to all her discomfort.

Zachary looked at the girl, very confusedly. " You..followed us? Why, could you have just come and asked" he said, sounding slightly tired. The girl had scared him badly, and Zachary was all ready on the edge thanks to Jonas' comment. But, if Simeon knew her, Zachary had nothing to argue about. " What is it you need our help with, miss?" he asked.

Simeon's eyes narrowed as he watched the girl, trying to place her. She mentioned his cousin so.... Giving a nod he quietly said "Outside." He opened the door wide for them both but before he followed them out he turned and gave Justina a look that clearly said "Kids these days" as he gave a slight shrug.
Once outside he took the lead and led them out and across the parking lot, heading away from the building and out of the line of sight of it as well. While he walked he went over the various people from the Kumpania he and Christine had been with, trying to place the girl.

"Not here, it is not safe," she said to Zachary. She looked grateful as Simeon led them away. "We can't go to my trailer, it is not safe. Let us go somewhere quiet." Now that Simeon got a good at her, he was sure he'd seen her with the Kumpania before. If only he could remember her name now. "My name is Klara," she said, looking over her shoulder nervously, as if expecting someone to be listening in. "Thomas' sister." Now Simeon's memory returned. Of course he knew Thomas, the big cheerful guy who went around helping everyone. He had known his sister only in passing, as they had joined the group only recently.

Now that he remembered her Simeon relaxed a lot, once they rounded the corner he came to a stop and turned to face Klara, his arms crossed over his chest. “So, what is going on that you needed to find me?” He left out the bit about scaring Zachary, as he didn’t want to make the kids embarrassment greater in front of Klara. As he waited for her reply he kept his eyes and ears alert, and watching the surrounding area. He gave Zach a pointed look and then looked to the corner, indicating he should edge closer to the corner and see if anyone was following from the building or the buildings surrounding area.

Zachary did as was ordered, and as smoothly as he could, the ahroun edged to look if anyone was following them
(( rolls to see if any of the office follows))

Klara looked around, she seemed even more paranoid than Zachary. "It's... my brother," she said finally when she was sure nobody was listening. "I know this is going to sound insane, but I think he's involved in something he can't get out of. Last month, he started working for this man, and he became obsessed with him. He became obsessed with his job." She lowered her voice a little more. Now Zachary could barely hear her from his position. "It's not like Thomas to act like this," she said. "And then last week, I saw him for the last time. He almost seemed like his old self again, at least he acted like it, but he looked so different, so white and his eyes seemed so dead. He said something horrible had happened and he couldn't ever come back. He said not to go looking for him." She was really crying now. She could hardly control herself as the tears started to flow. "I know something's wrong," she said. "Please you have to help me."(Funny how nobody ever requests rolls for things they're bad at Just relax, I will roll when there's something worth noticing.)

As Klara spoke Simeon’s eyes grew dark and intent, as he bit back a low growl. It wasn't the first time a person came along and tried to exploit the Rom. “What can you tell me about this ‘person’ Thomas got fascinated with? Did you ever see him?" he really needed more detail. Running a hand through his hair he sighed. This was not what they needed...it seemed there were more 'new' issues slamming into the Sept before 'old' ones were sorted. If Gaia was ever going to 'bless' them maybe it would have something to do with one of the current problems and not be something totally new.

Zachary watched the corner with intent eyes, trying his best to see anything interesting. He did hear parts of the converssation,however. What ever it was, it seemed to be powerful. A vampire? Zachary's mind run over the possibilities like a wild horse.

"I saw him once," Klara said. "He was a gadje. Very big and ugly man." She paused and looked at Zachary a little apologetically, but he didn't notice. "Thomas used to drive things to a place for him. A warehouse. I can take you there."
They didn't get any unwanted company, and Zachary was sure they weren't being overheard.

Looking at his watch Simeon checked the time. He didn't want to miss the lunch date with the girl from the building as they still needed that information as well. "Is this warehouse close by?" he asked. And then as an after thought "And does it have a name?" If there was ever a time he wished he was two beings instead of one, this was one of them.

Zachary walked next to the two others. "No one following" he said simple and then listened to what Simeon had to say. Being still willing to slash something the ahroun smiled a bit. " Is it in a remote place?" he asked Klara.

"It is in the city," Klara said. "I think it's called Kniesel, yes that's it. Not far from here." She gave them more specific directions to the warehouse. Neither Zachary nor Simeon knew the city very well, so the directions weren't quite that helpful. She ended up point out the location on a map. "I can take you there if you'd rather," she offered.

Zachary turned and looked at Simeon with his eye like the eyes of a puppy. " Someone is in danger, sir" he said simply.
