| Val wrote it down, her hand a bit shaky from everything that had happened. | |

| Once done writing DI Ross leans forwards again. "Is there anything else you would like to inform us of?" he asks gently. | |

| "Well, uhm, I'm still active on the BDSM circuit, I-if that's important" she blurted out with a blush.
"I've kind of subtly kept an eye out for Richard while at various clubs in the Soho area and surrounding but I can't find any trace of him. It's like he never existed" she shuddered. "But I...I kind of get worried regardless, hence the change of hair" she said, as if more to her aunt then anything else.
"I guess I'm kind of in hiding from him a bit" she chuckled awkwardly. | |

| DI Ross nods. Det.Cole notes this down.
Aunt Suzy looks a little horrified.
"Would you like to provide us a list of these clubs to frequent?" Cole asks.
"And it would perhaps be wise to discontinue your own investigations at this stage. Your safety is priority" DI Ross then adds. | |

| "Oh, uhm, no. I don't go to the clubs just to investigate" she said. "I guess they kind of provide, uhm, safe havens? No one there knows me as Val so my identity is kind of safe there. I don't..uh...I don't know how I'd feel if that were to go away" she confessed timidly. | |

| "You misunderstand, we don't mean don't go to your clubs. We mean just that you stop investigating him" DI Ross says gently.
Det. Cole nods. "And we shall respect your privacy. But if we are to successfully locate and identify this man then we will need information as to his potential whereabouts. So anything you can give us at this stage will help us and any other women he has taken advantage of" she says also gently. | |

| Val nodded. "He was always very private. I guess now I know he was being careful. He never really met me at my place, he'd arrange to meet outside my place rather than getting near it and he wouldn't really go into any clubs that he knew I liked or felt confident in" she said. "We'd uhm...mostly get together in club bathrooms. It was rough but never in a good way" she said, looking down and welling up, as if ashamed. | |

| - Spoiler:
[23:13:07 14/03/2016] RestlessRoamer : recap: Val nodded. "He was always very private. I guess now I know he was being careful. He never really met me at my place, he'd arrange to meet outside my place rather than getting near it and he wouldn't really go into any clubs that he knew I liked or felt confident in" she said. "We'd uhm...mostly get together in club bathrooms. It was rough but never in a good way" she said, looking down and welling up, as if ashamed..
[23:14:37 14/03/2016] RestlessRoamer : Aunt Suzy looks sad for her. "Oh Val..." she says solumnly and taking her hand gently. Det. Cole makes more notes. "Where were these clubs?" she asks.
[23:15:37 14/03/2016] @ Kittysan : "Rough areas -Val names some clubs that she knows from experience have minimal-to-no CCTV, a high circulation of staff and a reputation for being dens of crime-".
[23:16:35 14/03/2016] RestlessRoamer : She notes down every club Val mentions. "Is there anything else you would like to tell us?" DI Ross asks.
[23:20:05 14/03/2016] @ Kittysan : "Not at this point" she said, moving close to her aunt for a hug..
[23:24:18 14/03/2016] RestlessRoamer : Suzy hugs back giving Val a comforting rub on her arm. The officers nod to Val. "Well then. I believe this is as far as we can go for now untill we have taken the time for review and follow-up investigations. We will need to contact you however at some point in the near future" DI Ross says in a friendly manner.
[23:25:33 14/03/2016] @ Kittysan : "Of course, whatever I can do to help" she said politely..
[23:26:58 14/03/2016] RestlessRoamer : They nod and smile. "Well then, thank you for taking the time to come in today Miss Blythewood" DI Ross says offering a handshake.
[23:29:22 14/03/2016] @ Kittysan : She shook his hand..
[23:32:31 14/03/2016] RestlessRoamer : He stands prompting Det. Cole to stand also. Aunt Suzy takes a monent and also stands and looks to Val. "I'll see you out" Det. Cole says gently.
[23:33:12 14/03/2016] @ Kittysan : Val nodded and followed..
[23:34:57 14/03/2016] RestlessRoamer : You're led back out of the room, down the corridors and out through the security door into the foyer. "We'll be in touch" Det. Cole says with a friendly smile. Suzy nods thankfukly and then turns to Val..
[23:37:58 14/03/2016] @ Kittysan : "It's so nice to see you again Aunt Suzy".
[23:39:04 14/03/2016] RestlessRoamer : She gives Val another hug. "Im just so glad you're alright... I was so worried, i thought that man killed you" she says seeming to begin to sob again.
[23:41:24 14/03/2016] @ Kittysan : "I know, I'm so sorry, I would have done this sooner but I was scared".
[23:42:23 14/03/2016] RestlessRoamer : "Well you dont have to be anymore. Neither of those men are going to hurt you again, and you can come home now" Suzy says caringly..
[23:43:47 14/03/2016] @ Kittysan : "I actually have an apartment" she said with a small smile..
[23:46:00 14/03/2016] RestlessRoamer : Suzy looks surprised. "Well... I see... Well then, perhaps if we go there, i can, make you cup of tea and we can discuss your... Hobby" she suggests.
[23:49:00 14/03/2016] @ Kittysan : "Uhm it might be a bit...overwhelming?" she attentively..
[23:50:43 14/03/2016] RestlessRoamer : She looks a little confused. "The tea or your new hobby?".
[23:54:49 14/03/2016] @ Kittysan : "Uhm the flat?".
[23:59:55 14/03/2016] RestlessRoamer : "You've been missing for weeks, Valerie, i need to know youve been alright... Oh god. Well..." she begins, before realising what she is saying. she then hastilly looks around and spots a convenient atarbucks. "How about a coffee?" she offers.
[00:00:16 15/03/2016] @ Kittysan : [I thought it was months?].
[00:01:21 15/03/2016] RestlessRoamer : [3 months is several weeks].
[00:03:25 15/03/2016] @ Kittysan : [Ah, she's being weird. NWs] Val nodded..
[00:04:32 15/03/2016] RestlessRoamer : [sorry XP].
[00:06:36 15/03/2016] RestlessRoamer : Suzy leads Val into the starbucks and buys her a coffee [her choice]. she picks a caramel mocha for herself with an extra espresso shot. "... So... How did you meet Mr St.Claire?" she then asks after a long period of silence as she appears to try and adjust.
[00:08:27 15/03/2016] @ Kittysan : "Online".
[00:11:40 15/03/2016] RestlessRoamer : Suzy sighs, "i knew you were always slending too much time online i just didnt think that you..." she says with a small shake of her head. "it made you happy to be online so i didnt question. i wanted you to get out into the real world and meet real people you know that. i just didnt expect... i dont know" she says with another sigh.
[00:13:43 15/03/2016] @ Kittysan : "I did meet a real person" she said defensively "But we were both shy and meeting online and talking beforehand helped".
[00:15:26 15/03/2016] RestlessRoamer : "you know what i mean. i wish you didnt spend all your life with your fingers glued to your devices and just talk to people. talk to me even" she says gently.
[00:17:52 15/03/2016] @ Kittysan : "We talked...a lot" she said timidly.
[00:21:20 15/03/2016] RestlessRoamer : "But it was all over a screen. Its not healthy Valerie, real people cant be substituted by screens and electronic devices" Suzy says seeming to not understand.
[00:22:15 15/03/2016] @ Kittysan : Val said nothing, looking instead at her coffee..
[00:24:50 15/03/2016] RestlessRoamer : Suzy sighs deeply. "... How are you holding up? after...." she then asks.
[00:27:19 15/03/2016] @ Kittysan : "Well now" she admitted. "I have an apartment...I'm my own boss...I even have new friends, friends I meet with almost daily, although this whole situation is going to bring up some uncertainty. The man who took advantage me when I couldn't quite get my mind straight gave me fake IDs to prove I was who I am. I've been using them for all of my daily living and investments".
[00:30:04 15/03/2016] RestlessRoamer : "Oh Valerie" Suzy says with a sad sigh for her. "... But, you have friends you can actually rely on though, right? these people. you can actually trust them... right?".
[00:31:32 15/03/2016] @ Kittysan : "Yes" she nodded..
[00:31:50 15/03/2016] RestlessRoamer : She seems a bit relieved. "Well.
[00:32:27 15/03/2016] RestlessRoamer : Well... You have some friends then, thats a very good start... And a place of your own...".
[00:38:21 15/03/2016] @ Kittysan : "Yes, a flat".
[00:41:13 15/03/2016] RestlessRoamer : She nods. "But these fake ID's... You need to be careful, i would hate to see you end up in anothr bad situation because of them. I'd stop using them, its not worth the risk" she says with concern..
[00:43:53 15/03/2016] @ Kittysan : "But I don't have anything associated with my real ideneity. I'm officially deceased remember?" she pointed out sadly. "I was sort of hoping the police would offer up a solution...I guess these things take time but I hate the uncertainty".
[00:48:04 15/03/2016] RestlessRoamer : She nods. "Im sure they will. But yes im sure it will take time for them to verify all of this... Im sure your real identity is still there though, maybe if we go see a solicitor and get some legal advice?" she suggests.
[00:49:16 15/03/2016] @ Kittysan : "maybe" she said timidly..
[00:51:11 15/03/2016] RestlessRoamer : "I'll come with you if you like... I've been given the day by my office. I could ask for more time for, well... Family matters?" she offers kindly.
[00:52:55 15/03/2016] @ Kittysan : "Oh no, no, I wouldn't want to trouble you".
[00:55:32 15/03/2016] RestlessRoamer : "It wouldn't be any trouble. You're family... Feeling like you were gone was aweful, i want to be here to help if you need me" she assures her.
[00:57:15 15/03/2016] @ Kittysan : Val nodded. "I know we don't really have much in the way of family...but you must have taken so much time off when I was away. I don't want to be more of a bother".
[01:00:09 15/03/2016] RestlessRoamer : "You're my family, you're never a bother" she says caringly.
[01:03:54 15/03/2016] @ Kittysan : Val smiled warmly. "I love you Aunt Suzy".
[01:07:48 15/03/2016] RestlessRoamer : "I love you too Val" she says giving her a one-armed hug as she holds her coffee at arms length.
[01:09:51 15/03/2016] @ Kittysan : Val chuckled happily at the gesture..
[01:13:20 15/03/2016] RestlessRoamer : "So... This hobby of yours... What exactly about all of that attracts you? I've read 50 shades and it didn't inspire me at all, in fact it made me cringe" Suzy then says in a tone to show she's trying to reach out and make a connection but is feeling a bit awkward.
[01:14:51 15/03/2016] @ Kittysan : "It makes me cringe too" she chuckled. "BDSM isn't about that at all".
[01:15:50 15/03/2016] RestlessRoamer : "Really? It's what everyone implys. What is it about it that people actually like?" she remarks.
[01:19:51 15/03/2016] @ Kittysan : "Hmmm I suppose it's different things for different people. Some like the thrill, the excitement of it all. Others just like the aesthetic appeal. Some like the sensations, and the way it makes their body feel. Then there are those who feel a deep, almost spiritual connection to the culture. It's one that's heavily based on trust, respect, and facing your fears in a controlled environment, and I honestly can't think of anything more liberating, especially as someone who has had bad experiences in the past".
[01:22:34 15/03/2016] RestlessRoamer : Suzy nods as Val explains, seeming to be trying to understand but lso seeming a bit of time to come to terms with the reveal. "I see... And... So, it makes you happy. Doing this?".
[01:23:16 15/03/2016] @ Kittysan : Val nodded. "I guess it gives me control in an otherwise frantic world".
[01:26:27 15/03/2016] RestlessRoamer : Suzy nods. "Well... I must admit it's not something i had particularly envisioned, or even thought about at all for you. But... You're meeting people face-to-face, and... It makes you happy. So... As long as you're happy, then... Then i'm happy" she says after a few moments. She gives Val a gentle smile..
[01:26:48 15/03/2016] @ Kittysan : Val smiled and nodded..
[01:28:46 15/03/2016] RestlessRoamer : "Just... Please be careful... I don't want you to have to go through any of what you went through again".
[01:29:29 15/03/2016] @ Kittysan : "Me either" she nodded. "Don't worry Aunt Suzy, I'll be safe, I promise"..
[01:31:51 15/03/2016] RestlessRoamer : She nods..
[01:32:26 15/03/2016] RestlessRoamer : and this is where we leave it for tonight.
[01:32:33 15/03/2016] RestlessRoamer : GG =)

| Suzy goes quiet for a moment and shakes her head. She then gives Val another hug. "Who says you're broken" she sys gently. "For someone whose gone through all you've been through, you're handling this better than i am" she says. | |
