"Hey." Archer nodded at Caleb. Archer frowned at Caleb's news; he really didn't want to hear that Lana was involved. "I was actually just thinking that. I'm about to call her now." He dialed her number and waited.

Burping (ooc: very unlady like.. lol), Lana finished her dinner when her phone rang. Walking over, she looked at the caller id and smiled. "I didn't expect to hear from you again."
"Yeah, well, I was wondering if you could help me out." Archer told her over the phone.
"What did you have in mind?"
"There was a robbery at the Metropolitain Museum in New York. I was wondering if you might know who pulled the job." Archer leaned away from prying eyes and ears of the cops.
Lana paused momentarily, wondering how to respond. "Maybe. What was stolen?"
"An ancient plate...it looked like something that could explain what we are." He cleared his throat.
"Maybe. I'll check my contacts. Are you in New York?" She pressed her lips together.
"Yeah. Why?"
"Nothing in particular. Just wondering. I'll call you back once I find something?"
"Yeah...sounds good." Archer hung up the phone and then told Caleb and Janus about his conversation.

"Seems definately hiding something." Archer told them.

"What the crap!? Now he's here too!? Agh! This is getting complicating. We need to get rid of this thing." Lana eyed the suitcase.
Rafe ignored her drama as he munched on another platter of meat.
Lana fell back onto the bed, twiddling her thumbs. She knew if she ran, they would know she stole it...but if she hid the package, and tried to pretend to look for the real thief, the heat could cool. What to do, what to do...

Salgou and Doug waited in the hotel room for some sign that Lana was leaving. "She has been in there an awfully long time. I figured she would have left by now." Doug said as he opened the door. "I am going to go over and say hello. She if I can tell anything about what might be going on. I will be back soon, make sure nothing happens ok Salgou?" "You can count on me Doug" Salgou said in a roar. Doug walked out into the hall and proceeded to walk to Lanas door. He then knocked on the door.

[max452]

Lana nearly jumped out of skin from the knock on her door; she was so preoccupied with Archer's call and the stupid suitcase. Quickly, she shoved the suitcase under the bed and went to answer the door.

Leaning on the side; you never know if someone would bust down the door or shoot through it, she called out. "Who's there?" She stared at Rafe, who was crouched and ready to pounce if someone was going to harm Lana.

[douglas9465]

Doug could hear the nervousness in her voice. "Lana, it's Doug. I thought I saw you a little while ago but didn't say anything to you for some reason. I felt that that was rude so I thought I would come by and say hey." Doug said, knowing that this wasn't the real reason, but it was a determining factor in his decision to say something. She seemed nervous, but innocent enough.

[max452]

Doug? Lana tried to recall the guy...and it came to her when she had bombarded herself onto Jason's BBQ party...that didn't go well. She grimaced at herself, before responding with just an "Oh." She opened the door slowly. "Hey Doug. I didn't expect to see you here...that's funny, I just got off the phone with Archer...he's in New York too...small world right?" She invited him inside, with Rafe watching the boy and his animal carefully, as he devoured a steak.
"What brings you here?" She asked.

[douglas9465]

"Oh I am just a traveler. Salgou and I go everywhere, we don't stay in one place for very long. We just decided to hit up New York for a while. See the sites, you know?" Doug said as he watched her animal devour a steak. "Hmmm, it is a pretty small world isn't it? I would like to catch up with Archer if you knew where he might be, it has been a while."

[max452]

"Yeah..." Lana understood the need to travel very well. "Um...well, I think he may be at the Metro Museum...he called me to figure out some stuff and mentioned it...so I assume he's over there..."

[douglas9465]

"Great, well I will head over there then. Say! Isn't that the place where the plate was stolen?" Doug said curiously as he had heard that it was missing.

[max452]

Lana made a nervous smile and then it quickly switched to confused look. "I suppose so. Archer did mention something like that. Uh, I think its best if you talk to him. Rafe and I have some things we need to, uh, get on with, so, uh, yeah." She made a nervous laugh and then pressed her lips together.

[douglas9465]

Doug and Salgou knew that something was up with Lana, but he couldn't put his finger on just what it was. He did notice, however, that when he brought up the plate, she began to get even more nervous. He decided not to push it anymore and smiled. "Well, I think I will go down that way and see if I can find him, thank you so much for your help......Maybe we can catch up sometime." He and Salgou said as they proceeded toward the door.

[max452]

Lana made another nervous smile. "Yeah....if not, I suppose he isn't too far from the area. Yeah, maybe we can." She moved them forward out the door, hoping to get them out faster. "But, like I said, there are some things I need to handle...."

Archer glanced at Caleb and at Skot.
"She said she'll look into it, but I think we may need to track her down in case...well...in case she plans on running." He looked at his cell before putting it away.
"So what do you guys think the plate is all about?"

[douglas9465]

Doug and Salgou walked down the street after being rudely hurried out of Lanas hotel room. "I wonder what she was in such a rush for?" Doug said as they walked. "I think she was hiding something, something very important that she didn't want anyone to find out about." They finally reached the museum and walked inside. "I wonder where They are?" Doug asked Salgou as they walked.

[Caleb]

"Ok Arch, what'd she say?" Caleb asked.

[alabamasax]

Skot stood by while Archer talked on the phone. Suddenly, Skot was having another vision. 'So soon?' he thought to himself. "I need something to write with. Asap!" Skot searched with his blank eyes to find a pen and a piece of paper.

[douglas9465]

Doug and Salogu waved as they saw Caleb. "Caleb!" Doug said as he went to him. "Caleb, hey man what's up?"
