Lilith walked around the kitchen of the Inn, she wore a black dress that reached a bit above her ankels were she wore black boots and a red almost see through jacket over that with feathery sleeves and a feathery colar. She saw Tom walk through the lobby with his gun and waved to him.
" Hello Mr. Sawyer, are you going out?" Lilith asked him when he walked over towards her.
" Yeah I'm going down to the docks again to practice my shooting." He said nodding.
" Well good luck. Do you know where Mr. Nemo is?" Lilith asked as she took a scone off a plate and munched on it.
" Yeah I remember Jekyll say that he went to see the Goverment agents about our new assignment. But don't worry we'll still figure out everything we can about your case too."
" Oh thank you." Lilith said smiling.
" Oh yeah, I think Mina is with Jekyll, their supposed to be examining that cane more after they found all that stuff about it." Tom said, he spoke about Jekyll with a slight distaste as Lilith had noticed.
" You don't like him all that much do you Mr. Sawyer?"
" Who?"
" Mr. Jekyll. When ever you talk about him you say his name with distaste."
" It's.... Its'a long story...." Tom said lowering his head a bit.
" I will not pressure if you do not want to tell me." Lilith said nodding.
" Hey I better get to the docks before the ships come in, they can take up a lot of room." Tom said tilting his hat at Lilith and went on his way. Lilith waved goodbye and went back to finishing her scone, she knew that Tom and Jekyll's dislike of each other had to do with Mina, maybe it was some long romantic story of love and hate, like in those romance books she reads sometimes.... It must be hard for Mina to be the only female of the group, but now that Lilith has joined it might be easier.

Lilith walked around the hallway upstairs, as she walked she heard a noise behind her and jumped scared. She was still a little shocked about Father Wolfe, but decided to put it out of her mind for the time being and not to stress over it. She ran into the first open door that she saw which happened to be the room of Tom and Skinner. " Oh! I'm so sorry I-I thought I h-heard something!" She studdered trying to hide her slight blush as she entered the room, but then she noticed that no one seemed to be in it. " Hello?" She asked again then heard a coughing from the bathroom. " H-Hello?" She asked again taking a step further into the room. " Are you okay? Mr. Sawyer? Mr. Skinner?" She waited longer for an answer but she only heard more violent coughing. " Do you need me to get Miss. Harker?"
" No!" Came the instinant reply from the bathroom, a floating mint green washcloth and pair of gray pants came from out of the bathroom, water dripped over Skinners face and neck.
" Are you okay Mr. Skinner?" Lilith aked worried.
" I'm.... Fine. Just that bug again." He said, the washcloth shook indicting his head was probably shaking.
" You really don't sound all that fine. Maybe it's more then a bug...."
" It's probably just a reaction to the serum Mina has been giving me to make me appear visable again...."
" Then we should really check with Miss. Harker!"
" No! I don't want her to do any more experiments on me."
" Maybe she won't, she might just give you another shot...."
" Not helping here darling."
" Sorry...." Lilith said lowering her head.
" Keep a secret?" Skinner asked and Lilith nodded.
" I might be the dashing, handsom, undenably irresistable son of a bitch I am but I do have my fears, I hate needles! Scare the holy grace outta me!"
" But it might still help you...."
" I think that's what making me sick, you kinda can get that feeling after coughing of blood for the past 15 minutes or so."
" I'm getting Miss. Harker!" Lilith said instintally turning to the door after what Skinner had said.
" Oh me and my big mouth!" Skinner cursed and jumped in front of her. " You do that and I'll-"
" You'll do what?" Lilith asked, surprised of the strong tone in her voice. She thought Skinner must have been shocked as well because he was silent too, then she saw the washcloth fall and pants to the floor with a tud too large for them, only indicating that Skinner had fallen. " Mr. Skinner?" Lilith asked getting on one knee and place her hand above the wash cloth and took the hand away quickly to find his skin was burning hot. " Miss. Harker!!!!" Lilith screamed for Mina as she tried to awaken Skinner without being burned by his skin. The door opened and Mina came in hearing the scream from the staircase as she had come up from Jekyll's room were she was looking at the cane.
" Lilith what happened?" She asked worried.
" Mr. Skinner collasped on the floor!" Lilith replied still shaking his shoulders, or what she asumed had to be his shoulders. Mina bent down and touched his shoulder and repealed her hand as quick as Lilith did. She move her hand down his shoulder and found his arm and tugged at his arm, drawing his upper body up. She motioned for Lilith to do the same and she grabbed his other arm and they tugged him over to his bed. Skinners body made an imprint on the bed as he layed down and Mina quickly ran back to her room and returned with one of her shots. She sat on the edge of his bed and grabbed his white face paint off the bedstand and rubbed it on his arm so she'd know where give him the shot. She quickly uncapped the shot and stuck the needle into his arm, after a few seconds of it being in there they heard a groan from the bed. The groan quickly turned into scream and Skinners body jerked from side to side as if he was having a seizure. Jekyll and Tom quickly ran to the room after hearing the scream and found Skinner jerking in the bed.
" What in the sam hill is going on here?" Tom asked dropping his gun next to the wall and walked over to the bed.
" Skinners having a reaction to the serum, Tom help me hold him down!" Mina said as Skinner's arm tried to elbow Mina in the stomach to get her away from him.
" Make it stop it's burning me!" Skinner yelled as Tom held down his arm and Mina held down the other, Jekyll and Lilith watched in a mix of shock and horror as something started to appear in the indintation of the bed, it started to slowly appear from the waist up, since Skinner thankfully decided to wear pants today, it was a whitish color that outlined his rib cage but it wasn't an outline.... It was Skinners bones. The visable bones appeared completely including his skull, then some of his organ started to show, his lungs and heart which was beating at a rapid pace, then a reddish material, his muscles, overlapped that, and finally a pale layer of pink skin covered over that, his face started to outline more as well, revealing his rugged jaw and very short sprouts of red hair from his head. His eyes, even though partually rolled back into his head were a clear blue color. Mina gasped as she saw Skinner for the first time, Tom as well although he was still struggling with keeping Skinners arm still. This whole display lasted only a few minutes before he started to fade away again, just like he had come. Lilith was still in shock of the entire ordeal and wached at Tom and Mina slowly let down Skinners arms as he seemed to fall out of his seziure.
" S-Skinner?" Tom asked a bit unsure if he was still even there.
" What's with everyone studdering?" Skinner said groggly looking around at everyone, " I miss a party or something?"
" You don't remember?" Mina asked shocked.
" Remember what?" Skinner replied confused.
