They finally reached his car and he opened the driver's side door before reaching across and opening the passenger side door from inside. The girl stood staring at him and he held the whole bag enticingly out to her before pulling back to let her in. She stuck her head inside the car and looked around curiously. He winced at the garbage lining the back seat. He had meant to clean it out earlier in the week but had forgotten. He patted the seat and looked at her. She reached out and patted the seat, imitating his move. He chuckled and she pulled back, startled at the sound.

"Sorry love. I meant that you should sit. See?" He bounced up and down on his seat. She watched him for a moment before tentatively sitting on the passenger seat and bouncing experimentally. He put a chip on the dashboard, ignoring the dust that was there. Wasn't that much there anyway, he thought to himself and she probably wouldn't care. In order to reach the chip it was necessary for her to turn and put her legs into the car. She did so, holding onto the bottle of water tightly as she shifted to reach the chip. He put the bag down between them and she was distracted as she peered inside. Leaving her to poke a hand into the bag, he got out of the car and made his way around to the other side. He closed the door. Her head shot up as she heard the noise and she looked rather startled. He made his way back to the driver's side and got in, closing the door behind him. This time the sound of the door clicking didn't seem to bother her as much. Perhaps she had thought he had laid a trap for her, and when he got in himself it reassured her, he thought to himself.

He pulled out his mobile and tried to reach Gwen. He got no answer, so he left a quick message saying he was coming by if she was at the Hub and to wait for him. He also sent a text message in case she didn't get a chance to check her voicemail. The blue girl watched his movements curiously while she ate. He put his keys in the ignition and started the car. When that didn't seem to startle her, he shifted it into first and started driving out of the lot. She looked out the window, eyes wide as they drove onto the road.

She was a pretty little thing, he mused to himself as he drove. He kept up a running commentary, just to make her comfortable as he drove. Several times he had to bite his tongue as his normal habit of swearing at other drivers tried to assert itself. He was all too conscious that a harsh word might scare the girl and he didn't want her frightened. That had happened enough today and he was going to add to that.

They made their way across the city and he had to drive around the quay as he tried to find a place to park. It wasn't easy, as it was early evening and those who were going out for dinner were already arriving for an evening out. He also wanted to be as close as he could get to Tourist Center since he didn't want too many people noticing his young charge. Finally, after a few times of driving around the shopping area he lucked out with a space. Acting quickly he parked and shut off the engine.

"Come on, love." He said as he opened the door. "Time to get you to the folks that can help you." He got out of the car and walked around it to the passenger side. The girl stared out the window at him. He opened the door and held out a hand. She put her hand in his and he gently pulled her out of the seat. She stood up, her head moving around as she looked at all the lights in the stores and shops. It was a good thing it was getting dark, so people hopefully wouldn't stare too much.

Still holding her tiny hand in his he made his way across the boardwalk and down the walkway that led to the Tourist Center. He was relieved to see there was a light still on. He tried the door and frowned when he noticed it was locked. He knocked on the window and peered inside. He caught someone moving behind the beaded curtain behind the desk and knocked again.
