After nice meal and dessert Marie and Betsy roamed through the resilient
streets of New Orleans.
"Ah really wish you let me pay for it...you didn't even let me reach for my purse..." She said with a guilty sigh.
Betsy simply chuckled. "Why pay for it when I can make the waiter think that we already did..." she said softly. "I did tip the lad though so I was not a complete cheat..."
"Hardly justification..." Marie murmured.
"Your quite the damper aren't you? If you have powers, use them dear." Betsy said with a wink.
"If you even think about trying to plant any ideas in my head I will drain you dry...."
"Never mentioned it love so please lighten up." Betsy sighed in defeat.
--
As the two continued to head towards their hotel Marie heard the faint sound of ringing.
"Is that my phone or yours?" Betsy questioned as she began to reach inside of her purse to pull out the small mechanical device.
"It's Mahne..." she said as she paused upon the street corner and opened her purse to retrieve it.
"Oh Mah God! Mah wallet....it's gawne!" Marie yelped in agony.
Betsy looked inside of Mari's purse and pulled out a strange playing card. It was a King of Hearts, yet strangely the card had be specially designed with a strange black and red shield which matched the wardrobe of the king. Upon this shield were the letters T and G intertwined together.
"Hmm....TG..." Betsy murmured softly.
"Betsy this ain't no thame to play detective...."
"Relax love you only had 100 dollars in that wallet and I have our credit cards so we really are going to be fine..." She said with a voice of reassurance. "Now lets get back to the hotel ok?"
Marie simply nodded her head and sighed. She hated to think that someone was able to steal right from under her nose.
"You know New Orleans is notorious for guilds... I heard there was even an assassin guild here and then there was another big one too. If that's the case, they can keep your wallet...guilds are ruthless..." Betsy mumbled softly.
"Afraid?"
"Absolutely..." Betsy responded casually.
--
The two stepped into the hotel and stepped into the large elevator as they rode up to their floor. A few other occupants joined them along the way and glanced nervously at them from time to time, making the two ladies quite uncomfortable. After the exited the elevator Betsy spoke once more.
"What the hell was that?"
"Do they know that we're?"
"I highly doubt it I haven't used my powers in a noticble way..."
"And I haven't used mine at all..."
"It was probably nothing..."
Marie grew quiet as she passed by a few women who were holding a single white sheet of paper then gasped in horror.
"Unbelievable..." One of the older women said.
"I don't believe it..." the other responded, yet fear leaked into her voice.
"There was an ambulance...and you know what they say about New Orleans..."
"Excuse mah...." Marie said as she yielded before them.
"Oh, girls you better be careful, someone was murdered behind the hotel last night...." One of the ladies said softly.
Betsy's eyes widened slightly. "Murdered? "She repeated in shock.
"Mmmm hmmmm they're sayin' it's a supernatural death hunny." The eldest of the women said.
"What kind of supernatural?" Marie asked.
"Well de say dat there were two puncture wounds upon the neck and the man had almost no blood in his body at all...." The eldest said with a shiver.
"Do you believe it?" Betsy questioned as she tried to hide a giggle, she never was very gulliable but she didn't wish to appear rude either.
"Ah've lived here in dese parts for 30 years...seen lots of strange thangs, it could be a vampire or a filthy blood suckin muttie...but Ah believe da story..."
"Well we ought ta get to bed..." Marie said softly as she politely excused herself. Betsy followed in suit and followed Marie to their room.

Ok so no the elevator scene was not in this chapter...it's in the next and it's almost ready for post. I typed that one before this chapter because I was having a hard time thinking of something for this chapter. So....who was the person killed and why? What is TG? Does Betsy get to have a moment in the elevator with a mysterious stranger? Is Remy stalking Marie or was it just a coincidence? Did a vampire really kill the man? All this and more in the next few chapters of A Walk on the Dark Side
