Polnareff re-adjusted his bag. It seemed a little lighter than it was a while ago and he suspected that the man he and Jotaro just passed had stolen something from him, but in a place as large as this, there was no point in making a scene.

"Jotaro, so where do you want to go? Polnareff asked while he was looking around, not finding much to his liking.

" Lets go... there." Said jotaro pointing at a tavern that was a few yards ahead.

"Jotaro, are you even legal to drink alcohol?" Polnareff asked with a confused look on his face.

" Yes. I am legal to drink alcohol, Polnareff. Besides that place looks like less of a hell hole than the other places around here." Jotaro responded with an annoyed tone.

The two comrades entered the tavern and ordered the special and a mug of something that smelled suspiciously of moon shine. Jotaro lit up a cigarette and offered one to Polnareff, who declined. Now that they were settled in, they began trade stories of the road and speculations of where the others were.

"I believe Kakyoin is with the others and that they managed to find a place to stay. And how did you get separated from the others Jotaro?" Polnareff said as he took a sip of his drink swallowed and pushed it away with a look of disgust on his face.

" Well, Kakyoin is obviously okay with the luck he's got on his side. Sadly I don't know where avdol and the old man are. I got separated from them because of a cross roads. I went one way and they went the other, and we agreed to meet here."

" I left the group to find us a hotel, and next thing I knew I was here. In the capital. Thank You." Polnareff said as their food was delivered to their table.

Jotaro and Polnareff took a bite of Special, which happened to be Beef and Potatoes. Jotaro swallowed the bite, wiped his mouth, got up and left. Polnareff bite down on the meat and gagged almost instantly. He calmly spat into his napkin, got up, went to the bathroom and vomited the piece of beef up. Polnareff paid for the meal and left the tavern, rushing out to catch up with Jotaro, who was about half way down the street by the the time Polnareff had even stepped out of the tavern door.

" Jotaro, slow down. Wait for me!" Polnareff yelled as he ran after Jotaro.

Jotaro slowed his pace enough for Polareff to catch up.

" The food was awful Polnareff. Why would you pay for that crap?!" Jotaro exclaimed angrily.

" Jotaro, I'm trying not to get arrested. I have heard that not paying for a meal is considered a serious offence around here." Polnareff said in a matter-of-fact tone.

" Whatever. We need to find a place to stay for the night." Jotaro said adjusting his hat, to shade his eyes from the setting sun.

"Agreed." Polnareff said as he reached into his pocket to get his wallet, only to find that it was not in his pocket.

A horrifying realization hit Polnareff. His wallet must have fallen out of his pocket as he was running after Jotaro, which means in a city like this, his wallet would be long gone if he went gone back to look for it.

" Hey Jotaro, I've got a funny story. It seems that when I was chasing after you I lost my wallet."

" Good Grief Polnareff. Sounds like something only you could pull off. I still have my wallet, so I will pay for the room tonight." Jotaro reached into his coat pocket and could not find his wallet.

" What the hell?! Jotaro yelled.

" What is it Jotaro?" Polnareff asked, confused.

" My wallet is gone. It seems to have been stolen, but with my stand and reflexes I should have seen any pick-pocket that tried to rob me." Jotaro said with a puzzled look on his face.

" Well, It looks like we are on the streets tonight Jotaro." Polnareff said with a sigh.

" Shut up Polnareff." Jotaro growled.

" Well, I'll go find us a nice street corner or something. Are you coming? " Polnareff said as he turned around and began to walk away.

" I'm coming." Jotaro said, and he began to walk after his friend.

" Maybe someone will take pity on us and give us a place to stay for the night." Polnareff said with a hopeful smile.

" Don't count on it." Jotaro said as he looked around for a place to sit down.

" Got some blankets in that bag of yours Polnareff?"

" I think so, I'll check when we find a place settle down." Polnareff said absentmindedly.

By the time they finally deiced where to sit down it was dark, and for once the streets were quite. Polnareff found two blankets in his bag,tossed one to Jotaro and covered himself, a large carriage with two brown horses, one driver and a few Guards clopped to a stop front of them. A young girl and a guard stepped out of the carriage.

" Miss Aria, you really need to control this habit of yours."

" I just can't help it. I can't stand to see someone out on the streets."

" Okay, Miss aria, but you need to stop picking up people from the street, I mean, you have already picked up one person today."

" Hello, would you mind staying at my house tonight? " Aria said to Jotaro and Polnareff with a kind smile on her face.

" Hello Madam, and thank you for your kindness Aria was it?" Polnareff said with a happy smile. Polnareff then looked over at Jotaro. For some reason Jotaro looked...Uneasy.

" Hey Jotaro, what's wrong? Polnareff asked with a pang of concern in his voice.

" It's Nothing. " Jotaro said after a brief pause.

" Well then, Jotaro and Miss Aria, Shall we be going? " Polnareff asked his companions.

" We're off." Aria said with a laugh.
