Stairs? Made since if they needed to get up to the tower but where were you supposed to put stairs in a place like this? Free wasn’t exactly the church going type. There were too many judgmental people that had no business messing with her life and it wasn’t like this was built like some of the ancient temples she had seen. She guessed they were just going to have to look for it until they found some way up and hope that it didn’t take very long. Splitting up though? Well that was another matter entirely.

Free glanced at the pair of lovebirds with a raised eyebrow when Devan dropped Jay’s hand and suggested they split up. The little chickadee wanted to split off from her protector? That was odd but Free did want to be done with this as soon as possible and splitting up would probably help them find something quicker. “Alright I’ll start checking around this front area to see what I can find.” Turning in the opposite direction of Devan the daughter of Heracles headed down a hall leaving Jay in the area they had been standing in. “Watch your back.” She called back to them and then she disappeared inside one of the rooms lining the hall.

Damn it. Now that Daven had said something Free was finding it really hard to not feel like something was lurking for them in the shadows. She hated that feeling. If some monster wanted to fight them then why didn’t it just jump out and fight them? What was it waiting for? Free didn’t know the answers to either of those questions but she found herself wishing that Audrey could be here to watch her back. She knew the hunter wouldn’t let her down. She didn’t know about these two questmates that she had been paired up with.

Walking along beside the couple Free tried to shove the uncomfortable feeling that they weren’t alone out here aside. Just grab the stupid lanterns and they could head back. That thought pushed her onward and as they came out of the alley she glanced around until her eyes settled on a red brick building with a tall steeple. Granted it was nowhere near as build as some of the buildings around it but Free could just imagine that back in the middle ages or whenever this guy was supposed to have lived it would have been the perfect place to hang a lantern for everyone to see. Raising her hand she pointed in that direction. “There. We need to go there.”

She knew that the love birds might not look favorably on her methods but Free really didn’t care. She hadn’t come on this quest to hold hands and sing camp songs and if she could put her particular talents to use to help them finish things up quicker then she would. Besides it wasn’t like anyone would miss one map of Boston so no harm was done. That being the case she gave Jay a little shrug at his comment and said dryly. “Better than wandering around the city and if we’re going to get burned up for going there we might as well commit a few sins to make it worthwhile.”

“Alright so if the church is there and we’re…” She quickly glanced up and around taking in a few of the sights and then returning to the map. It took her a moment but eventually she recognized something and pointed it out. “…here. It doesn’t look like it’s too far.” Looking up again she nodded at a path between two buildings that was up ahead. “If we cut through there we should be able to see it at least.”

“A church?” Freedom said speculatively. She had never really had a liking for church going folks. There were far too many judging eyes and her tattoos and piercings tended to make her stick out like a sore thumb. “Guess that narrows down our search to about a million to-ooof…” She would have said more but her sarcastic tone was cut shut as the taxi skidded to a stop and she rocketed forward into the seat back in front of her. “Gods’ dammit give a girl some warning!” Free yelled at the old crones but the hags merely stopped their arguing long enough to laugh at her.

Free kicked open her door with enough force to rock the car on its side for a moment and then hopped out glad to finally be on her feet again. Glancing around while she waited for the others she noticed that they were located on a sidewalk looking out onto what she assumed was Boston harbor. A cool sea breeze was coming off the water and the buildings surrounding them were a mixture of more modern skyscrapers and old colonial style brick buildings. Free had to take it all in for a moment before finally turning back to her fellow questers. “So we’re looking for an old church right? I say we head towards the oldest looking buildings and see what we can find then.”

So Daven and Jay. Names to go with the faces and a little knowledge to boot. Apparently they were a couple and with that the lingering suspicion that Free had when they first met, that sense that she was really just the outsider looking in on this trip, seemed to cement itself. Unfortunately there was nothing to do for it now. She was going to have to finish this one way or the other even if she was starting to wish they had chosen someone other than her for this quest.

"I'm Freedom." She said with a sigh and turned her head slightly to look out the window. They hadn't gotten going yet and it was easier to look at trees than it was the happy couple. "You can call me Free I guess. Most people do." She had just starting to settle in for a long uncomfortable ride to Boston but the Grey Sisters apparently had other ideas. As Daven gave the destination the car gave a sudden blast forward and she was thrown back into her seat hard enough to bump her head against the back window.

"Son of a..." Free shook her head and for the first time really took notice of the three women sitting up front. They were bickering and arguing about where they were going and what they were doing and they seemed to be passing an eye and a tooth between the three of them. Free didn’t mind that so much but the driving? Sheesh. "Would it kill them to give a little warning?" She grumbled discontentedly as she rubbed the back of her head. Trees were beginning to slip by faster and faster and it was making her kind of sick to watch so she looked away. "At least we should get there fast."

The love birds were apparently having a bit of an unexpected reunion. One of them wasn’t supposed to be here and it was causing some drama. Freedom really didn’t care about what was going on here or who was supposed to be where all she wanted was to get started on this quest and she hoped these two weren’t going to cause any problems. It was bad enough that she was having to leave camp at a time like this but she really didn’t want to be thinking about lovey dovey stuff when her girlfriend was missing.

“We could take the Grey Sisters’ taxi.” Free suggested from her spot away from the group. She supposed they could steal a car if they wanted to drive themselves but if time was really important they might as well get something that could get them to Boston quickly. “Unless either of you know how to hot wire a car that may be our best bet.”
