to ever see him again.”
    Harper
reached into her pocket and placed the card on the table.
    Cordelia
glanced over at it. “What’s that?”
    “He gave it
to me. Said I could find him there.”
    Cordelia
picked it up. “T.S.C. What’s that stand for?”
    “I don’t
know,” Harper shrugged.
    “Well, let’s
look it up,” Cordelia suggested.
    “You mean on
your –”
    “Yeah, I got
this.” Cordelia picked up her tablet again and went to the sofa with her drink
and Bane’s business card. Harper watched on apprehensively from her place by
the table.
    “Find
anything yet?” she asked after a moment.
    “I’m doing
searches,” Cordelia answered. “What did you say his name was again?”
    “Bane.”
    Cordelia was
silent for a moment. Harper looked away.
    “Oh my God!”
Cordelia exclaimed. “I found him!”
    “What?”
Harper said hurrying over. “You did?”
    Cordelia
handed her the tablet and Harper turned it over.
    On the screen
there was a picture of Bane from The Dark Knight Rises .
    “Very funny,”
Harper muttered tossing the tablet back at her.
    She flopped
down on the sofa, deflated.
    “Jesus,”
Cordelia laughed. “You’re taking this so seriously.”
    “I’m not, I’m
not,” Harper said quickly. “Let’s just forget about it.”
    Cordelia put
the tablet to one side and looked on the other side of the business card. “You
know I looked at this address, and it’s bogus.”
    “It is?”
    “Totally
fake. The only thing that’s on here is those three magical letters. And of
course the telephone number.”
    “Telephone
number?”
    “Yeah.”
    Harper
snatched the card away. She saw that Cordelia wasn’t lying.
    “You didn’t
see the number before?” Cordelia asked.
    “No,” Harper
admitted. “Doesn’t matter anyway though. We’re not going to call it.”
    “We’re not?”
Cordelia grinned.
    “Bane said I
should only try to come to this place if I was ready to leave everything
behind.”
    Still
grinning, Cordelia pulled her cell out. “Since when weren’t we ready to do
that…?”

    It took a moment for Harper to
realize what she was doing.
    “Hey,” Harper
piped up. “What are you –”
    Cordelia put
a finger out to silence her. “Yes,” she said into the cell. “Yes I’m wondering
if Bane is there. If we can chat to him.”
    “Stop it!”
Harper screeched reaching out for the phone.
    Cordelia
pushed her away and stepped off the sofa.
    “Uh-huh. I
understand. I’ll just ask my friend.”
    She held the
phone away from her as Harper stood.
    “Ask me
what?” Harper blurted out.
    “Do you want
a driver to come pick us up to go to see Bane tonight?”
    “No,” Harper
said. “That’s – that’s insane –”
    Cordelia
nodded and moved her hand away from the phone. “As soon as you can get us. Our
address is 134 Poulton Road –”
    “Bitch!”
Harper lunged at her.
    They both
collapsed to the ground, Cordelia giggling.
    “134 Poulton
Road, Manhattan, come at once!”
    She tossed
the phone away laughing as Harper yanked at her hair.
    “I’m going to
kill you!” Harper yelled. “You are so dead!”
    “Stop it!”
Cordelia laughed. “You’re hurting me!”
    She then
screeched as Harper yanked a bit too hard. Harper climbed off her and reached
out for the discarded cell, only to find the call had ended.
    “Call them
back,” Harper said. She threw the phone at her. “You’ve got to call them back.”
    Cordelia sat
up. “What is with you?”
    “You don’t
seriously want to go off in some strange car right now, do you?”
    “What – you don’t ?”
    “No, I don’t
want to,” Harper insisted. “This is – this is so stupid. Why have you done
this? He’s gonna think I’m – Oh my God!”
    “What’s he
gonna think? Tell me.”
    Harper
crossed her legs on the floor. “He’s gonna think I want to be with him.”
    Cordelia bit
her lip. “Sorry. Sorry, Sunshine. I just – we have to see what this is
