Laura sat down shovelling the food Derek had cooked for her earlier into her mouth as he was sat across the room with his Uncle and another woman discussing something to do with Kate,  who Laura vaguely remembers from the previous night.

The woman kicked her feet up onto the table and Laura stopped eating for a second wondering what Derek's Uncle Peter would say as she knew he had a weird obsession over it as she did something similar the previous night and all she could remember him saying was something about expensive Italian furniture and how kids don't appreciate these things anymore.

Peter gave the woman an unimpressed look "The tables Italian" He stated and Derek had to cough to hide his smirk as he could see Laura mock him from where she sat -luckily Peter paid her no attention- before she went back to her food.

"So are these boots" The woman sassed back causing Laura to snort and Derek to smile at her comment, both of them amused at the woman's attitude towards Peter. "Are we gonna talk interior design and fashion...or, are we gonna talk numbers?" She questioned the two men across from her getting straight to the point.

Peter sighed as he started to write down some numbers as Derek went back to staring into his glasses which Laura noticed he had been doing since the previous night when he transformed back into a man. She knew something was wrong but decided not to say anything, she didn't want him feeling uncomfortable.

Peter slid the piece of paper he had been writing on across the table and the woman picked it up looking at it amused and she crossed it out as wrote down something else underneath before passing it back over to him.

"We're hiring you to find Kate, not assassinate the president" He rolled his eyes at the figure.

"I was hired by the Calaveras to find Kate, you're hiring me to find her first. Going against the Calaveras is what's going to cost you" She shrugged.

Peter wrote down something else and slid it back over to her but she didn't even look at it before sliding it back not making a move to change her mind.

Peter rolled his eyes and sighed before standing up and storming away not being able to handle her attitude, he already had enough sass coming from the young child that Derek had insisted stay with him. He couldn't handle much more.

Derek however grabbed the piece of paper and ripped it up. "We'll pay. Just find Kate, that's all we want" He told her agreeing to her terms as Peter turned back around giving him a look. The woman smiled smugly towards Peter as she got up and left. Peter slammed the door behind her causing Laura who was still eating to jump in her seat.
