Jack walked up the stairs, he was concerned that Phryne did not come down and the fact that Mr. Butler was leading him up the second floor only concerned him more. He nodded to Mr. Butler when he showed him to the room that Phryne was in. entering the room he was greeted by a concerned Mac and a worried Phryne.

"Doctor Mac, Miss Fisher" Jack bowed his head as he greeted them.

"Oh Jack that the Gods that you are here." Phryne said as she walked over to him Doctor Mac smiled in response to his greeting. Before she walked over to the bed and sat on the side of it, and placed a glass of water on the bed side table.

"Phryne you are making the poor man worry himself to death." A voice he did not recognize came from the bed, he turned his head in the direction, of the bed. And saw a woman of foreign origins laying in it, Mac was checking her over.

"Come now Kage's you know that's half the fun. And Jack it's not me that needs your help, well it is but not directly." A laugh came from Mac and woman Phryne called Kage's.

"What Phryne is trying to say Inspector is that our dear friend Kagome here is in need of your help?" Doctor Mac took over for Phryne. Jack nodded his head and walked over to the bed, he pulled up the chair that was beside the bed and sat down. Giving the woman who sat in the bed a once over. She had long black hair, bright blue eyes which he knew was uncommon in the Asian culture.

"So Miss what kind of help do you require?"

"Well I think I should introduce myself first. I'm Kagome Higurashi."

"And I'm Inspector Jack Robinson."

Kagome smiled at the man before her, she could see why Phryne was so smitten with him.

"Well inspector I think someone tried to kill me."

"You think"

"Yes I can't remember anything from last night, which is highly unusual, the only thing I remember is collapsing on Mr. Butler"
