Glitch was having a good time -- but, then, anything shiny helped Glitch to have a good time. And Glitch was a real people person too -- and it didn't matter that the blondes all ignored him. He was having a good time.

And so it surprised him to find a crazy woman in the alley he poked his nose down. She was clearly terrified, and Glitch's first instinct was to comfort her. But she was also crazy and very edgy -- and Glitch, not being the brightest or bravest, quickly held up his hands and backed out of the alley...

...And almost into Cain and Donna. Spinning, Glitch stared at them a moment, then looked relieved. "There's a scary lady in there," he confessed, somewhere between a man and a child. It was a simplistic sort of fear, and that made him seem more childish than he actually was. Also, his face was capable of creating almost cartoonish expressions.

"I wouldn't go in there. She yelled at me to leave her alone! I think she was scared of me. Me!" He said this as though he couldn't quite believe it. Why would anyone want him to leave them alone? He was certain he was charming company -- and not at all scary. "I think she might be homeless," he confessed breathlessly. Why else would she be in an alley? "But I wouldn't go in there to feed her, no sir." With an emphatic shake of his head, he turned to resume his course to the cafe -- or wherever it was he was headed.

A second later, he spun around with wide eyes. "There's a scary lady in there. I wouldn't go in there. She yelled at me to leave her alo--hey, where ya goin'?"

Luckily Rosette looked like she was pulling herself together. She seemed like a pretty tough girl, and Harry was sure she'd be on her feet again in no time.

Even as he listened to Donna's plan, in his head Harry was already drawing up a few simple wards he could create without any advanced preparation. Nodding to the older woman he replied, "Yeah, I should be able to throw up a couple of nasty surprises for anyone who tries to get the jump on us. They won't be pretty, and they won't last long, but they should do the job. And if all else fails...well," Harry slowly slid his .45 revolver halfway out of his pocket, "I hear three guns are better than one."

Standing up slowly, Harry offered Rosette a hand. "Well, no sense in sitting around all day. What do you say we blow this popsicle stand?"
