(Oh, wow. Lol. Very different time zones.)

"Yeah, I'm sure," Kasey agreed, laughing along with him. "I'm sure Ging would be perfectly ticked if I tried putting her on a diet. Not that she even needs it. She's pretty small."

(Aha, yeah, I’m guessing you’re in America or England?)

“Mortem’s not that fat, I don’t know how but… I mean… he’s a little over weight but not as much as I would have expected after all he eats.” He replied, picking his cat and scratching his ear.

(America. Does that mean you're in Australia?)

"He's magic!" Kasey joked. "Super-duper metabolism spell!"

(Yup, got the right)

Liam laughed, “If he was magic that would be great, maybe he could help figure out my life problems. It was also be a great story for the magazine too.”

(Lol. I've always wanted to visit Australia.)

"I'm sure it would," Kasey agreed, nodding. "Which magazine do you work for?"

(Aha, I’ve always wanted to go to America)

“Observer,” He shrugged, “Nothing to special but it gets the bills paid and gets me fed.”

(Haha. Probably not where I'm from! ;P)

"Ah, I see. That's the one that writes about Kinesie, right?" Kasey asked, feigning ignorance as she cocked her head to the side.

(Honestly same would apply to me though)

Liam nodded, “Yeah, that’s the one. I just sent my first draft to my boss earlier for Sunday's Story.”

(lol. Yeah, I kinda though that when I was typing. But I honestly don't even care. I just want to come back with an accent so I can bother my sister… She hates when I try to do one.)

He's the one who writes about me?

"O-oh, really? Well, I, um, I'm sure it turned out… great," Kasey stumbled over her words, unsure of what to do.

(Aha, well, better late then never, goodnight then)

Liam rubbed at his neck, “Yeah, thank-you. Thanks again for the cream, but um… I won’t keep you.” He said, coughing a little out of awkwardness.

Kasey smiled a bit, attempting to stem the awkwardness at least a little. "Right. Yeah. I'll just, uh, go, I guess. Let me know if you need anything else, okay?"

Liam nodded, “I will, thanks again for the help, I’m sure your magical cream will help in no time.” He joked, holding his door open for her.

"I hope so," Kasey laughed, stepping out into the hall. "I'll see you later, Liam."

“Totally, see you soon.” He replied, smiling before he gently shut the door behind her before walking over to his computer, checking his emails again.

(Oh my goodness, I've been been painting for the past two days so I haven't been able to be on as often as usual.)

Kasey walked back to her apartment and sat on her couch with a sigh.

Liam must be the one who writes about Kinesie in the paper. I can't believe it.

(Aha, that’s totally fine, painting is good)

Liam found the email and grinned, pulling up a chair and making some final touches to the article.

Another story completed.

Kasey had just gotten set to watch a movie, but as soon as she turned the tv on, the news was showing another robbery downtown. She sighed and stood, muttering to herself as she got her things together again.

"My job is never done. Just as soon as I think I've caught a break, something else happens."

Liam saw the newsfeed and a small grin made his way up his face. Yeah, it wasn’t a good thing there was a robbery but it meant another story. He grabbed his camera and headed out.

Kasey stepped outside and nearly ran into Liam.

"Woah. Oh. H-hey, Liam! What, uh, what're you doing?" she asked awkwardly.

“Robbery, good chance to catch Kinesie and get a story for next week.” He explained, giving a small smile at Kasey.

"Really? Well, I hope you get a good story, then," Kasey said, giving Liam a nervous smile. Her gaze flicked toward the door as she tried to figure out the best way to get out.

“Thanks! See you round.” He said, hurriedly walking out of the apartment and towards the crime.

"Yeah. Later," Kasey said, shifting the bag on her shoulder. She let out a soft breath and quickly found an empty alley to change into her suit.

There was already police lined up when Liam got there, but they weren’t doing anything. He tried pushing past with no luck.

Damnit, where’s Kinesie?

Kasey ran toward the crime scene, where the robber seemed to be holding people at gun point. Making sure her mask was on tightly, she stepped closer. As she did that, a familiar face came into view.

Oh no… Liam's here. I hope he doesn't recognize me.

"Excuse me, sir, but stealing is a crime," she greeted the robber as she stepped inside the bank.

Liam smiled when he noticed Kinesie turn up. Snapping photos, he tried to get round the police again with no luck.
“But I’m a reporter!” He said, trying to reason with them.

"Kinesie," the robber growled, turning to point his gun at her.

The heroine smiled and gave a light laugh. "Hey, sorry to crash the party, but you've gotta stop this."

"Oh, yeah? And why's that?"

"Because, as I said earlier, this is illegal," Kinesie reminded him.

“Come on…” Liam sent up a prayer to help Kinesie. He took a few more photos of the scene, trying to get some better shots,

The robber laughed. "Obviously." He tightened his hold on the gun and continued to glare at Kinesie.

Kinesie glanced around the room, using only her eyes. Spotting something that she could use, she lifted it with her mind and looked back at the thief. "You know, I'd really like to do this the easy way, but I'm totally down for doing it the hard way, too," she said.
