She scowled at his rudeness but placed the phone down on the receiver slowly and reverted back into her disguise as Tilly. Her first instinct was to go after Rogue, but she would be patient. She would wait for the girl to come to her. She sat back in her chair and pondered the thought.

Suddenly Lucas came out of his office again. “Tilly, ah need to go out for a while. I’ll be back later.”

“Whatever,” she said, while filing her nails. She got up from her chair as Lucas left the hotel. A plan was forming in her mind, and she didn’t trust Jean-Luc to help her. She would get her daughter back, even if she had to wipe out the entire Thieves’ Guild to do it.

          Remy left his apartment that morning and rode his motorcycle over to Mercy’s Diner. He parked his bike in the alley and walked slowly over to the place. He looked through the window and saw the girl he met last night over in the corner booth. He went inside and casually walked up to her.

          “May I join you?” he asked politely.

          She looked up and gasped when she saw him. “What are ya doin’ here?”

          “Same as you? Havin’ a little breakfast. T’ought ya might be lonely,” he said and sat down opposite her.

          “Ah didn’t say ya could sit down,” she said.

          “An’ you didn’t say I couldn’t either,” he said, reaching across the table for her gloved hand. She quickly pulled it away before he could touch her.

          “Why you do dat?” he asked.                         

          “What?” she asked, confused by his statement.
