What do you do?

You Turn to Her on Reflex

Your body reacts almost on it's own, so fast you don't even have time to think about what you're doing. You turn to the voice and see Jenny walking towards you from the direction of the vampire rooms. She looks mostly the same, but even in the poor light you can see her skin's deathly pallor. Her eyes are a dark red but as you look at them your mind fogs over. What were you worried about again? It couldn't have been that important.

"You see? No need to rush. In fact, I think we've seen enough for today." Jenny places her hand on your shoulder as she talks to you, the entire world except for her seems to fade away. "Why don't we go back to my place? We can call Allegra from there if we don't find her on the way back.". You blankly nod, you barely process what she's asking of you but feel the need to agree with her anyways. "Fantastic."

You follow Jenny up the stairs, through the lobby and out the door. Jack the Ticket Taker says something but it doesn't even register in your mind. You continue to follow Jenny in your dreamlike daze, only vaguely aware of your surroundings. At one point you stop and watch as Jenny does something to a passerby, whatever it is it doesn't matter to you. After that you continue uninterrupted until it occurs to you that you've arrived in her apartment. You dutifully shut the door behind you as Jenny walks around closing curtains.

"I always knew blackout curtains were a good investment, isn't that right Morgan?" She asks.

"Yeah..." You agree, still barely processing her questions.

"Morgan, sweetie, the sun is coming up soon and I'm _very _tired. Be a doll and make sure nobody comes and disturbs my beauty sleep will you? Oh, and see if you can get in touch with Allegra, tell her to come over this evening!" Jenny waves as she leaves for her bedroom and closes the door behind her. Your vision sharpens, you can't let yourself continue in such a state while Jenny is counting on you! You grab a chair from her dining table and sit facing the door, while you pull up your phone and call Allegra.

Does Allegra answer?
