Patience is a virtue. So is chastity. Figure that one out...

When you've lost something, the wisest course of action is to begin looking in the last place you saw it. It is with this thought in mind that Alison had set out early to the Nexus park. This was the last place she had seen Shatterstar on his own and seemed to be a familiar haunt of his. It was early and still cool when she arrived. There were a few joggers out making a circuit of the park, but no real people traffic yet. And no sign of the red-head in question.

She could wait a while. She bought a hot chocolate from the cafe across the street and then took a seat on a park bench, sipping the warm liquid and waiting. She had all day. If he didn't turn up here, she'd look elsewhere.
