Lotus was so excited, for once she got to be the one dragging Ashley to a job. Earlier today she had run into Dex Miller, he had mentioned a new lead and needed some help. However at the time he had been rather tight lipped about the details only telling her to meet him later tonight at this location before hurrying away.
Lotus couldn't wait to share all the information she had learnt from Leis with Dex, the old man truly had some interesting theories that Lotus felt where well worth some further investigation.

Surely Ashley will be proud of her for taking the initiative to find them some work for once. Ashley had been rather quiet ever since Lotus had mentioned Dex. No doubt they were simply distracted by the case they couldn't solve and already overthinking what sort of clue Dex must of found today.

It didn't take long before Lotus finally spotted Dex approaching.

Ashley sighed, how had they gotten roped into this mess? Somehow they just couldn't find it in themselves to say no to Lotus' pleas to meet up with Dex again. The man wasn't a bad person, but he had a tendency to overthink and see conspiracies where there were none. An investigator that had no clue what was real and what was all in his head. Somehow Lotus had become rather fond of him, which was unusual for the blonde feline. A fact that made it only harder to say no, inevitably leading to Ashley giving in.

As Dex approached the siblings, the sun was beginning to set, the streetlights flickering on to light up the paths. Only a few people remained out on the street, most already having made their way back to their homes for the evenings after working hard all day. Leaving it eerily quiet. Like the set of a film noir. The plum-furred feline sighed to themselves, they had a feeling they were in for a long, arduous night. Perhaps tomorrow would be a day for them to rest. They had been working rather hard lately.

After greeting them Dex wasted no time in explaining what he had found. He had been walking by the river when he saw it. Some kind of big, blue, ball like thing. It also messed with his emotions, making him feel angry and sad for no reason when he approached it.

Could it be some kind of spirit? Demon? Did the Satanists summon it?
Lotus enthusiastically shared her theories with Dex and the two got carried away discussing things before Ashley cleared their throat to interrupt and suggest that maybe, instead of discussing it we go look for it?

The trio begun to explore where Dex had seen the blue ball and it didn't take them long to stumble across the blue ball of light. It was spinning around and looked quite beautiful.

I want to touch it.

Lotus wasn't sure why but she felt a really strong desire to go touch it.

Ash was probably the most surprised of the trio to discover, Dex hadn't been simply imagining things. Clearly, it had just been a mere coincidence that of all people to spy such a beautiful light, it had been the most ludicrous of people.

The blue shimmering orb was magnificent, spinning mesmerisingly, a flicker of recollection, a nagging, tugging feeling in the back of their mind. Like they, the one with perfect memory, had forgotten something important. Unable to draw the memory forth. A feeling that usually would have infuriated them, but instead, they stared, longingly at the orb.

"Beautiful..." They murmured, much like Lotus, feeling an unusual urge to approach it. They were always a curious cat, but this was different, it was like it was calling to them. Begging for them to reach out. They lifted one of their glove-covered hands, inching forward, much like Lotus. Their fingertips barely grazed the source only for a wave of visions to come crashing into their mind, like a tidal wave of forcefully implanted memories. A face, a human, one they recognised, yet didn't. Like they were watching it from someone else's point of view.

Then a shockwave, a blast of energy that jolted them back into reality, sending them flying backwards into the muddy bankside. Their vision... fading... fading... gone... as they blacked out.

As her fingers brush the strange light a series of images and thoughts flash through Lotus's mind. She was younger but she wasn't at the orphanage. Her name wasn't Lotus. There was someone else by her side that wasn't Ashley. Before she can make sense of the confusing jumble of information there is a flash of light and Lotus is knocked back hard.

Picking herself up off the ground Lotus sees that both Ashley and Dex had been thrown back as well. Neither appeared to be moving so Lotus quickly ran over to her sister in panic. Ashley had to be ok, she had to be.
Thankfully Ashley was still breathing and didn't appear too seriously injured, only unconscious.
Lotus then checked on Dex, still alive. She wasn't strong enough to bring them both back so Dex will just have to have a dirt nap for now. She'd come back for him later.

While Lotus is struggling to pick up her sister, she spots an unfamiliar face approaching. The man is very friendly introducing himself as Dacol Lubex. He says he saw the flash of light so he came running over, he then offered to help bring the two on the ground to the hospital.

He can carry Dex then. Lotus redoubles her efforts and eventually manages to get Ashley to the hospital. Fortunately the wounds aren't too severe and both Ashley and Dex soon woke up.

After getting their pay from Dex, the two sisters decide to head off and rest. Lotus's mind still a little muddled from the weird vision she had and she sub-consciously held onto Ashley a little tighter.
