Budget Auto Repair, Gardena, California:
Rose looks at the time and notices that she has been up all night. She has to start prepping the shop for opening. She makes sure everything is shut down, before leaving her forensics lab. It was a good thing she used to be a forensics researcher before she was changed.

Rose turns on the air compressor and makes some fresh coffee for her employees. She goes about unlocking the garage doors and assigning the repairs to the right mechanic. By the time her employees start showing up for work. She had the place ready.

Rose pours herself a large cup of coffee and walks into her office to start answering some emails and paying some bills. She’ll check the results of the test she started last night. She had a feeling she knew who was behind killing the talent agent.

Janet and Leland’s Place:
Sasha covers up a yawn as she looks through the second book her mother kept in her secret library. She knew the books in this room couldn’t be removed unless her mother did it. Her mother made the room that way, because of a famous thief who broke into her place. The guy didn’t like, that her mother was able to counter his every move.

So he decided to get back at her by breaking into her place and steal some of her valuable art and such. When he found her secret library and looked around. He discovered that she had some extremely valuable books and manuscripts. Some were written by famous artists, while others were extremely old and were considered extremely important.

Sasha was halfway through the second book when she came across a weird-looking cabinet. She noticed that it didn’t look like the description she had been given, but it did change people. She could only read a little bit of the description of the cabinet. The language it was written in was something she wasn’t familiar with.

She knew her mother had several books in her collection that allowed you to translate one language into another language. It was slow work, but she could translate the language. It was just going to take time.

Later in the evening, Janet comes walking into the library. She wanted to check on Sasha and see if she found what she was looking for. She spots her daughter at the long table with several books open on the table. Sasha was sliding back and forth between the books in the old-style wooden desk chair.

“You look like, you’re having fun.” A smile forms on Janet’s face.

Sasha turns around when she hears her mother’s voice. She brushes aside a strand of her red hair out of her eyes.

“What time is it, mom?” Sasha knew electronics didn’t work down in the old-style library.

“Almost seven. I thought I would check on you. I know how easy it is to lose time down here.” Janet has spent days down in her library.

“Wow! I should call Susan.” Sasha figures she should check on her wife.

“Have you made any headway with finding your mysterious cabinet?” Janet looks down at the light blue legal pad Sasha likes using.

She preferred the yellow colored ones, but she knew Sasha liked the light blue ones and the light green ones. Janet knew Sasha liked pretty colors and such.

“I think I found the right one, but I’m not sure. I’m going to need to find the magician that is using it. Also, translating the writing from one language to another language is taking up a lot of my time.” Sasha hated how slow she was progressing.

Janet just smirks. She knew it took time to get everything translated right. There were so many different interpretations of a word in different languages.

Sasha noticed her mother’s smirk. “Mom, it’s not funny.”

“Now you know why I don’t do magic anymore.”

“I thought you gave it up, because of what that amulet did you.” Sasha points to a display case with a golden amulet with the Eye of Thoft on it.

“I did. Every time I used magic from that amulet, it consumed a bit of my Chi. Magic and Chi don’t mix and when magic steals some of your chi, it makes you vulnerable and slows your recovery down.” Janet walked over to the necklace and could feel the power it held.

She has been tempted several times to use it but knew the cost was too high. When she was younger, it didn’t matter to her. It helped her career and let her help people. However, she soon learned the cost of using it and what it was doing to her body.

Sasha could feel the power coming from the amulet. However, she knew the amulet wouldn’t be as powerful as when her mother used it. Her special abilities interfered with the magic the amulet granted its wearer.

“Come on sweetie. Let’s get you some dinner.” Janet starts walking towards the elevator.

“Okay.” Sasha follows her mother.
