Sheeeee-yikes!
I think we are in a bind that we do not have the firepower to get out of.
No magician to counter the spell on Natasha.
Isaint way outnumbered (even with Spike there!).
No clear idea where we are.
And the one shop we run into, unbeknownst to any of us yet, has a lady with very similar ink to the abductors.
(Bad luck, great planning by the opposition, or the tats are not exactly the same??? Laesal doesn't mean flower, it is the cherry tree that laes is harvested from...so maybe the thorns are just a coincidence - but again, none of us know any of that yet...)
We have GOT to keep this family together.
That's going to take some creative thinking and teamwork - we did it back in that deathtrap of an alley, and we can do it again.
Most immediate question - Isaint has essentially called for help with the Code Red message.
Does this shop offer us enough temporary protection to justify splitting another one of us off to go help Isaint?
I think yes, but then Al's himself is not leaving the family's side, so not my call...
