We were attempting the attempt. All we know is she's up the road.

( Beck has always been better in Ireland than Scotland as he peers around them.

"What's up if everything's on the same level?" )

That's basically what I said.

( Beck nods, giving everything another look. Scrunching his lips, he looks back down at his phone.

"Can't hurt to Google her."

And in inputting her name, he does a quick from-the-phone deep-dive... (15) )

[There is a Facebook page. Most of it is private, but there are a few photos of the street that they're on, including standing in front of this pub.

Lorden looks like she's a woman in her mid forties, long, rough-chopped dirty blond hair and an eclectic style that all but screams hippie witch, but there's an edge to her that indicates maybe she's not so much on the hippie end of the equation.

In the meantime, Scarlett will move to peer over his shoulder to see what he finds.]

She is local, one of these photos is of her in front of this charming bar.

( He scrolls through. )

All the public ones are on this street.

[prettyclothes]

So she can't be far then. Perhaps we should start knocking on some doors.

[But just as she makes that suggestion, Buffy's phone rings and they all pause to hear what Stefan has to say.]

[attainathons]

( A (20) in worry and listening gets Buffy the tail end of an incantation. And then nothing. )

Stefan? Stefan!

( Her eyes find the girls. )

I think Stevie Nicks found my boyfriend.

[prettyclothes]

Well, that is unfortunate.

[She glances over to Beck.]

Do you have the location?

[telegraphs]

I have what Buffy gave me.

( He types it in. )

It's thirty minutes out.

[prettyclothes]

Wonderful.

[Scarlett smiles as she holds her hand out to Melanie.]

I'll drive.

[Melanie sighs, then acquiesces, handing over the keys. "Heaven help us all."]

[telegraphs]

( "I should not drive," Buffy confirms, holding her arms up. )

I will drive.

( He holds his hand out for Scarlett's keys, trying to convince her. He's the one who was born on this continent! But, Scarlett doesn't know him from Adam and his exasperation just comes out in petulance (1). Seriously. This fucking guy's roll. )

[prettyclothes]

[Sorry, Beck, Scarlett is steamrolling right over that one and clicking the keyfob to the car.]

Don't be so dramatic. We'll get there all in one piece and in likely half the time.

[She strides over to the car and opens the driver's side door.]

Now are you coming or what?

[telegraphs]

Seeing as my fiancee is likely near, if not nearer to where the Salvatores were.

( Yes. He and Buffy are in. Buffy tries Stefan again as we go into cliffhanger. )
