She's lying down in bed, worn out from the nightmares and the effect of Bonetown on her xenian body when her CiD trills for an incoming message. Cindy has half a mind to ignore the damn thing stationed on her dressing table across the room, but something in the back of her mind tells her to get the fuck up and go look at it.

It's a good thing she does as the number alone has her struggling to put on a pair of flats and a jacket to make it down to the inn, the blood just adds speed to her movements. Sonja's number is still unreachable as Cindy tries to get a hold of her as she rides to train. The damn train isn't going fast enough and Cindy is helpless for the moment as she tries to call Ilde back repeatedly. There's no answer there. Really, this is a great way to piss Cindy off and a pissed off Cindy isn't a nice thing.

A few long minutes pass between her getting off the El and making her way to the inn where she practically knocks down innocent people who just happen to be in her way. Cindy knows which room is the DON'T PANIC room and she finds it easily enough that yanking the door open without a question to find the bloody scene behind it makes her regret not paying attention to who she passed by.

"Ilde, if you die on me, I'll kill you."
