Hotaru followed Cross into Freed's, not paying attention to the fact that it was less populated than the Allure when the two had left.
The redhead took a seat at the bar, letting out a heavy sigh. "Alright, I'll admit, running from the cops was pretty funny." she then said, turing to the Kuma.

Cross grinned triumphantly. "Told ya so!" She chuckled. "Hey bartender!?" She called the man over.
"Can we get two Dr.Peppers?" She asked with a smile. She then turned around in the barstool and looked around the small bar.
"This place is pretty deserted..." she commented. There were maybe 2 couples and some guys drinking at the ends of the bar. The Jukebox was playing something old and boring. Cross just shrugged and turned back to the Phoenix. "So why do the cops scare you so much?" she asked. She was now calm and collected rather than the crazy her earlier.

Hotaru wasn't too surprised when she was asked the question. "I, um..." she began, hesitantly. She then had a realization. "Hey, wait. Why should I tell you when you didn't spill at the Allure?" she tried not to sound so accusing, it just came out that way. Probably one of the redhead's defenses she pulled unknowingly.

Cross sighed then took a drink of her Dr.Pepper. "Fine." She said firmly. "What happened at the allure is I remembered my brother dying before my eyes. I remembered the fire and the explosion that killed him and my sister-in-law. I also remembered the police trying to help. I remembered that and saw the pictures flash before my eyes and I couldn't do anything to stop it." She said with a steely voice. She was tired to hiding and lying. There was no point. She took another drink of her Dr.Pepper... it seemed to taste different...

Hotaru listened to Cross, not all that stunned by her response. The redhead had been through smiliar things, after all.
"Okay then," she began. "This is strictly confidential, but I used to be a gang leader with a bad reputation. There was a fire about a year or two ago that I nearly died from. After ayear of being hospitalized, I got out of the gang and went into Tora with another one of my friends from the gang." she took one quick breath. "The rest of our gang found us later and tried to kill me... he was the one that ended up dying."
She was silent for a while, but tried her best to smile. "Sounds like the both of us have had some pretty messed up lives, huh?"

Cross was slightly surprised by the girl's story. "Yea we both have..." she said quietly, quickly taking a drink of her Dr.Pepper... or it was supposed to be Dr.Pepper. "This tastes really weird..." She muttered looking into the glass. She shrugged and took a drink of it again. "Oh well..."

Hotaru sighed, looking at Cross' drink. "This is a bar. Sure they didn't slip anything in it?"

Cross tilted her to the side looking in her drink. "I don't think so..." she said quietly looking into the carmel colored drink that was nearly empty. She set it to the side. "Um? Could I get a fresh glass of Coke this time?" She asked the bartender who was cleaning glasses.
"So...?"

Hotaru shrugged. "I'm still a little tired out from running from the law." she said, grinning. "We could just hang out here unless you had something else in mind." She looked over at the Kuma and waited for a response of some kind.

"I'm good with hanging here... as long as nobody tries putting anything in my drink..." she said looking at the drink she discarded. The bartender then put a new drink in front of her and she took it cautiously. Then she took a drink to test it. "Hmm... It seems okay..." There was a little after taste but that was just the caffine...

Hotaru suddenly remembers the Dr. Pepper sitting in front of her and took a sip. It did taste a little strange. "You're right about the Dr. Pepper..." she murmured before setting it down again.

Cross grinned. "I say that we figure out who put somethin' in the Dr.Peppers and throw it on 'em." She took a long drink of her Coke, not really noticing anything off about it... maybe?

Hotaru simply laughed, pushing her Dr. Pepper a little more to the side. "Yeah, we'll show them a thing or two." she said, grinning.
She turned around in her chair. "Hm, not a lotta people here." she said, indifferently.

Cross finished off her Coke and asked for another one. "Nope, not many here at all... Who could be the culprit...?"

Hotaru looked around the bar before turning back in her seat. "Water, please." she asked before being handed the clear drink, and probably thee only safe one to drink in the place. She took a sip of it, surprised that it actually tasted better than she thought it would have.
"Not to bring back tough memories, but I'm guessing you haven't told anyone about yourself, have you?" she asked Cross, not bothering to look at her.
