The nearest clock claims it's about eight in the morning.

Not too early. Fitz opens Richard's door and bangs on it to wake the man up.

Carthrat

There's a loud *thump*, like a heavy object falling from a short height.

"Wha-what?" croaks a heavy voice, sounding peeved.

"Richard, get up. I know where Charlie is." Fitz says simply. Though 'know' is a bit strong. He hopes this Keysan person was telling the truth.

Carthrat

There's a vauge noise that sounds sort of in the affirmative, then, "There's food in the kitchen."

"Sounds good. I'll get something ready for us," replies Fitz, leaving Richard to get up... eventually. He heads into the kitchen and starts cooking a real breakfast - egg, bacon, sausage, tomato, mushroom, french toast...

Carthrat

A short while later, after Richard has dragged himself out of bed and you're both eating, he asks, "So how'd you find out?"

Fitz takes a deep breath. "Somebody called me. Apparently they saw whoever it is capture Charlie. They were after something he had, something that was supposed to be for me,"

"They're in a tower - 46 Union Road. I've no idea what kind of place it is."

Carthrat

"Union road? That's full of skyscrapers," replies Richard, blinking. "Skyscrapers and office blocks. What could he be doing there?"

"I don't know. Maybe whoever took him uses an office as a public front? Anyway, they said he was on the 6th floor. In a cupboard," Fitz replies drily.

Carthrat

"Well, we'd better get going, hadn't we?" comments Richard, shrugging. "I'm sure everything will be clear when we get there, Selene willing."

Fitz nods, placing one hand over his heart. "Selene willing," he mumbles.

He finishes breakfast and tidies up, and they head out into London.

Carthrat

A short few minutes later, Fitz and Richard arrive at 46 Union Rd. They're confronted with two main obstacles; first, the fact that the building is called the 'Chensington House', and it's a skyscraper that looks a hundred floors tall; pretty wide, too, and looks to be very swank, with plenty of material trappings out the front; shiny, silver-plated letters for the sign, some very tough-looking security people out the front, and a constant bustle of people going in and out.

The other problem is the fact that, as it's busy mid-london, it's going to be impossible to find a parking spot.

Fitz turns to Richard. "Maybe I should get out and try and sneak in on my own. You're never going to find anywhere to stop the car."

Carthrat

"You're probably right," mutters Richard, glancing at the traffic. "Allright, get out here."
