    There, in the third floor stairwell, waited Ozymandias and Autolycus. Their preparations were being put into place, their plan was getting ready. It was a scheme of guile. Leah Penderson and David Barton's residence was just down the hall.

    At the base of the stairwell, the door opened. Footsteps could be heard coming up - then the door beneath them opened and shut. The footsteps were no more. Just a peaceful building resident, going through the paces of their day. Birdsong, whistling outside. A fan above them, cooling the building's common area.

    If the consequences of failure weren't a breach of the Veil continuing, it would almost have been pleasant. Just a man and a woman, enjoying each others company and checking out apartments.

    With magic.

    Spells cast at the end of last thread begin now for the purposes of tracking the scene. This scene is linked to the previous one.

    If her messenger bag has been mentioned, Zoey is carrying an old leatherbound journal, two bottles of gatorade and a waterbottle, a change of clothing, a second small pistol, a couple of snacks and a variety of miscellaneous objects. Don't question a woman's purse.

    With her instructions given to Autolycus, she made her way out onto the third floor, sending a quick text message to Cut to inform him that they were headed to the apartment itself now. Taking the mail from Autolycus, not saying anything as she did, she knocked lightly on the door marked 305 and shifted in her spot to rub at her arm, looking at the floor absently. She'd just been in a fight. She felt terrible. She was having a really bad day. All the sympathy. She even leaned against Auto a little bit, as though seeking some condolence.

    She had a plan. It was time to enact it.

    It takes only a couple moments but Auto spins a couple new spells as his old ones fade. As his face shifts to something vaguely Hispanic Mandy hears the drumbeat of his Nimbus. He nodded as she gave him his marching orders. When she leaned against him, his false face looked confused before sliding into a concerned frown.

    After a moment, he puts his arm around her shoulder and tentatively pats her. Poor Mandy. Auto seems to have problems when it comes to being sympathetic.

    After Mandy knocked, there was a long pause. They could faintly hear the basso rumble of a male voice beyond the door, and footsteps which stopped on the other side of the door.

    A couple of long seconds. Female murmuring.

    A few more seconds. Quick movement within.

    Then the deadbolt slid back and the door opened a few inches, stopped by the chain.

    "Can I help you?" a female occupant asked.

    "Hey," Mandy stated quietly, not looking particularly well, "um, I think this is yours?" she half-inquired as she lifted up the mail, though she didn't hand it over. "Got dropped in... my box..." she stopped, suddenly looking to Auto, her hand dropping.

    "... he has my keys. He left... he took my keys with him when he left!" Her face fell, leaving her to look distinctly stressed out and upset all at once, seeming to forget about the mail she held and the person on the other side of the door. The woman was, theoretically, a police officer, right? "Wh... what do I do?" Her gaze didn't turn to the woman, though, as she looked to Autolycus, "I don't want to see him, what... what if he gets really mad? I-I can't even get into my own apartment, but he can... a-and then what?"

    Oh god.

    Auto wasn't good with people. Especially crying people. That's not at all in his skill set. Even though he knows she's faking it, it seems real. If he wasn't almost panicking, he'd be impressed.

    He pats the crying Mandy on the shoulder again. "There, there."

    An eye appears in the crack. It's covered by a cute blonde haircut, but it is only visible for a moment. "I don't know if it's mine, because I can't see it," she said placidly. "One sec."

    The door shut.

    Female sounds. Words. Male sounds in reply. Something higher pitched speaking, and a door closed inside.

    The chain slid out of position, and the door was opened. A pretty blonde woman in a navy blue police uniform stood firmly in the doorway. She had a radio slung about her shoulder, and a pistol and various other implements were on the belt. She looked like she hadn't even had the chance to get changed after work just yet. On her chest was a nametag that read 'PENDERSON'.

    Beyond her was a short hallway leading into the inner recesses of the apartment. There was a closed door visible on the right side of the hallway, and light coming through an open area on the left. Looked like a kitchen, maybe?

    "What's your name, ma'am?"

    She smiled cordially. After all, Ozy looked distraught.

    Looking from Auto to the woman, Mandy shook her head. "Mandy. Mandy Osbourne," she stated quietly. "Sorry, here," she simply offered the mail to the other, watching her carefully for a few moments, as though uncertain, rather intently taking in the woman's hair, face, name tag... gun. That was problematic. She had some skill with a gun, but... probably not as much as an officer had. She took a careful step back, into Auto as she continued to stare intently at the woman, almost uncomfortable.

    Auto says nothing, playing the role of baffled but earnest protector. He breathes out a quiet spell that takes the police radio and makes it as conductive as a scrap of rubber, to keep her from calling back up if things take a turn for the worse.

    The police officer's gaze never leaves Mandy and Auto as she accepts the mail with her left hand, which disappears behind the open door real quick and reappears, empty. She smiles politely. "It may be time to call your landlord and get them to change the locks, Ms. Osbourne," she said, professional detachment and concern all mixed into her voice.

    Apparently, she hadn't noticed the fact that Mandy was staring at her intently. This was probably a very good thing. Leah Penderson had no spells that Mandy could see on her Pattern.

    "If your ex-boyfriend causes any problems though, threatens you or accosts you or whatever, definitely call the police, okay?" She really was rather nice.
