Bones nodded slightly and smiled before reaching over and taking her hand in his. The hour went by pretty quickly, and he made really good time going hundred of miles in just that hour. He stopped in a small town and pulled into the parking lot of a kind of well crappy looking hotel. It wasn't the best but it would do for what they needed. He pulled out some cash and handed it to Emerson, "Want to go check us in?" he asked.

Emerson squeezed Bones' hand before reaching and taking the money. "Sure, I'll be right back," she promised, leaning to kiss him before climbing out of the truck and to the front desk. Inside, at first the lobby boy seemed annoyed at someone coming in so late, but she flashed her smile and he ended up signing her in quickly. Emerson took the key and room number before bidding him goodnight and slipping out and back to the truck.
Bones watched her go before slipping out of the truck and grabbing one bag of clothes and a bag of mngwa food. Copper wouldn't eat it all, but she had to be hungry, even if she did eat the demons from earlier. When Emerson cam out again he smiled and opened the back door "Come on Copper hop on out" he said.Copper yawned and stretched a bit before hoping out of the back seat and onto the ground. Bones closed the door again and looked over at Emerson. "What room?" he asked.
Emerson had gone to the other side of the truck to grab her own bag, but met Bones before he turned back. "Uh... Thirty-four," she remembered, looking down at the key ring to make sure. She nodded and bent to pet Copper. She motioned for Bones to follow, assuming the cat would as well as she wove her way to the assumed hotel room.
Bones nodded slightly and followed close behind Emerson, Copper right behind him. When Emerson opened the door Copper dashed into the room and immediately changed into her normal form before hoping onto the bed and getting comfortable. Bones chuckles softly and closed the door behind him before dropping his bags. Then he walked over to the window and closed the shades, don't need anyone looking in on them. "How much farther do you think we should go?" he asked, they were almost to the top of Maine but they didn't have to stop there, they could loop around it and find somewhere on the other coast.
Emerson chuckled, watching Copper before returning her attention to Bones with her smile still there. "Oh... Well, I don't honestly care. I mean, we could just keep going until we find a town we like and stop by to look around." She set her own bag down before sitting on the edge of the bed with a small sigh. "Did you have a type of town in mind?"
Bones shook his head slightly, "No not really" he said and sighed softly before walking over and sitting next to her. "Though really anywhere works for me" he said and wrapped an arm loosely around Emerson. "But hey you're going to be the one driving so you get decide where we stop next" he said a bit jokingly before kissing her temple lightly.
"Ahh, yes," Emerson joked back, leaning her head a little into Crispin's kiss. "Hmm, well, we'll obviously want to check out the seaside towns, preferably ones with a bar or club for you to... You know." She bit her lip before kicking off her shoes and pulling her legs up to sit pretzel-crossed. "I really don't want to ask this, but..." She trailed off for a moment. "Do you think your father will find us again?"
Bones sighed softly and nodded slightly, "If I'm being honest yeah he will, eventually. There really no getting out of that" he said and looked over at her with a small frown. "He a powerful guy and well has a lot of followers, it'll happen, but if we're careful it's take em a long time to even figure out where to look"
Emerson sighed and pulled away a little to look up at Bones, actually grateful she had been careful with what she'd written in the note for the delivery boy. "I understand..." Even so, with a small ripple of anxiety she drummed her fingers on her knees. "Guess we'll just have to be extra careful then, huh?"
Bones nodded slightly, "Yep extra careful" he said and nodded slightly. "But it's not to hard, once you get used to it, it'll just be an everyday thing, won't even notice anymore" he said with a smile and kissed her softly.
"Pretty sure I'll just panic and freeze my surroundings if I saw someone even resembling him, but if you believe in me," Emerson joked, rolling her eyes before leaning up to kiss Bones gently. She slid an arm around his side to pull him closer.
Bones laughed softly "Yeah I believe in you" he said with a smile and laid back on the bed, pulling her down with him. "I'm not worried about you revealing anything" he said with a smile and looked over at her. "We'll be okay"
"I'm sure we will be," Emerson said, though she wasn't actually positive. It still bothered her; everything that had happened that day. But anyway, she laid her head on Bones' chest and closed her eyes for a minute before saying, "I think... When we settle in, I think I'll find a different sort of job. Setting up a new shop would be difficult."
Bones nodded slightly, "Yeah that's good. I think you'll enjoy doing something different" he said and kissed her forehead before laying back and relaxing. He closed his eyes and easily fell into a light sleep. He was really tired so it was a good thing that he was finally getting more than an of sleep.
Emerson nestled in next to Bones, listening to his breathing and Copper's purring for a few minutes before finally falling asleep.
Unfortunately, after only an hour or so of sleep she woke up in a coldsweat, her heart racing. She took a look at the peaceful Bones next to her and loosed a breath, pulling away from him and padding to her bag, deciding to go and take a quick shower while he still rested.

Bones shifted slightly when Emerson moved and got off the bed, but stayed asleep. Copper quickly took Emerson spot and cuddle up close to Bones, resting her head on the demons stomach. Bones barely noticed the movement and didn't move at all himself. As he slept his wounds slowly healed the rest of the way, the one on his side a bit slower then the other one.
Emerson took a quick shower, as the water was erratic in temperature and pressure, which was weird. She quickly got out and dried off, pulling on new clothes before braiding her still-damp hair as she left the bathroom and sat into a chair in the corner of the room Bones and Copper were in. She rested her head against it, watching the two for a time as they slept.
About an hour later Bones woke up with a groan, he stretched his limped out a bit and looked at his side to see Copper rather then Emerson. He chuckled softly before carefully moving out from under the mngwa. He saw Emerson sitting the in the chair and smiled, "Did you get any sleep?" he asked, since he knew he fell asleep before her.
Emerson turned her attention from focusing blankly on the wall and shook her head at Bones. "A few minutes," she replied with a soft sigh. "I couldn't sleep." She stood and shrugged. "Do you want to rest longer?" The day would be hell for driving, but she wouldn't tell Crispin that she thought that.
Bones shook his head slightly, "No I'm good" he said with a smile "Let's bring our stuff back to the truck, then we can wake up Copper" he said with a smile before standing up and walking over to wearing he dropped his bag. He hadn't actually used anything in it, but he though he might so he just grabbed it. He picked up the bag of mngwa food as well and walked out of the room. He hurried over to the truck and put everything away. Even made enough room in the back seat for Copper to stay full size. As long as she stays down it wouldn't be a problem.
"Mm-hmm," Emerson replied, dipping to grab her bag and follow Bones out to the truck. She could keep this bag in the front at her feet, anyway, as she figured Copper would be grumpy to have to shift again. She waited until Bones was done and walked with him back to the room, not honestly trusting the Mngwa enough to go ahead and wake her up on her own.
Bones walked over to Copper and lightly patted her on the shoulder, "Wakey wakey" he said with a smile. Copper groaned and stretched before shifting into a tabby cat, not bothering to move after that.
Bones laughed before picking up Copper, "You really are a lazy old cat" he said with a chuckled as he walked out of the room with her, lightly scratching her behind the ears. He set her in the back seat of his truck, "You can shit back, as long as you stay low" he said before closing the door. Then he turned around and looked at Emerson, "All ready?" he asked and tossed her the keys to his truck.
"Yeah." Emerson caught the keys from Bones after watching the exchange between him and the cat, and she climbed into the truck and started it while waiting for Bones to get in. She smiled small as she truck groaned when Copper shifted into her regular Mngwa form.
Bones climbed into the passenger seat and buckled up before looking back at Copper with a smile. "Good girl" he said and patted her back lightly. He turned to Emerson and smirked, "Okay, so you can go any direction you want to, does not matter to me" he said, he didn't care if she even went back the way they came.
"Alright," Emerson replied, smiling at Bones before pulling out of the parking space and pulling up to the front lobby doors. "Would you mind dropping this off first?" she asked, pulling the key out of her pocket and handing it to him.
"No problem" Bones said and took the key before getting out of the car. He usually didn't bother with returning the key, didn't care enough to. This he did though, he walked into the lobby smiled at the man behind the counter and handed her the key. Then he quickly signed them out before jogging back out to the car and climbing in. "Okay lets go" he said.
Emerson smiled and waited until Bones closed his door to pull away, driving out from the road and to the highway. "If we just keep to the highways or roads along the coasts for now, we can check out cities as we go by. How does that sound?" she asked as she switched lanes.
"Perfect" Bones said and leaned back into the seat shifting a bit to be more comfortable. He closed his eyes and sighed softly, "So how much you willing to spend on a house?" he asked, because sky was literally the limit for him. He had millions of dollars stashed away in various bank accounts.
Emerson shrugged, glancing at the comfortable Bones before looking back to the road. They'd left late enough that rush hour was over. "I don't honestly care. I have a stag of money with us and more kept in other places. Mostly from when I worked with Kylist," she replied. "What do you think?" Maine wasn't that expensive of a state to live in, anyway, so she wasn't worried.
"Doesn't matter to me either" Bones said with a smile and turned his head slightly to look at her. "Though I'd prefer a house with some sort of cover, so Copper and run as she likes" he said and shrugged. "Though that's not really a necessity, she mostly sleeps anyway"
Emerson nodded. "You mean with a surrounding forest or something?" she questioned, speeding up a little as there honestly weren't any cars around, other than the occasional straggler.
"Yeah something like that" Bones said with a smile, "Just some place where she won't get into trouble" he said with a small laugh and looked back at the mngwa. "And preferably no nearby neighbors for her to eat" he said with a chuckle.
"Well, yeah, we wouldn't want to be investigated for mysterious mauling," Emerson joked, smiling a little as she passed a lone, slow car on the highway. "Well, tell me if you see a place you think you want to check out," she told him, glancing over briefly.
Bones nodded slightly, "Will do" he said with a smile and looked out the window. A few hours passed by before he finally spoke up, "This town loks alright" he said and looked out the window a few more minutes before turning to look at Emerson with a smile. "What do you think?" he asked. Though honestly he was tired of being in a car, and well this town was fine.
((Thanks btw))
Emerson pulled over into the lane to get off the road they were on and into the town. "Looks good enough to check," she agreed, checking for other drivers before pulling down the road. "We can at least drive around here a bit; unless you would rather stop and walk." She glanced at him, waiting for an answer.

((No problem.))"Nah it's fine, wouldn't be a good idea to leave Copper alone" Bones said with a smile and looked out the window as they drove around the town. "By the way doesn't matter if the house is for sale or not. Got ways around that" he said and looked over at Emerson with a smile. "And no I don't mean kill them either" he said.
Emerson rolled her eyes with a slight smirk, although she did loose a breath. "Thanks for putting my conscience at ease. How would you get a hold of said property, then? Bribery? Threats?" She was only half teasing, and didn't look at Bones, instead studying the shops and houses they passed. It actually looked like a nice town, and she decided she wouldn't mind living there, at first glance.
"No I simply make them an offer they can't refuse" Bones said and laughed softly, "More then the house is probably even worth. If that doesn't work then I resort to threats" he said jokingly, though he wasn't really lying. "See any places you like?" he asked after a few moments.
"Well, as long as you don't kill the occupants..." Emerson shook her head at his question. The houses in this area were too close together, and to the main town square. "If we drive a little closer to the coast side of town, I'd bet the houses will be further apart." At least there were a ton of trees around. She spotted a tall lighthouse in the distance and geared to move towards there. "You good with checking a little further out?"
Bones nodded slightly "Yeah that's fine" he said, since he hasn't really seen anything that he especially wanted yet. It always took him awhile to figure out where he wanted to live though. Not that it was that big of a commitment, they'd be leaving in a few months anyway. After a few more minutes he saw a house that was actually for sale. "Want to look at that one?" he asked, since it seemed alright.
"Yeah." Emerson had already eyed the For Sale sign out front and pulled into the longish, gravelly driveway. The house was big -enough for the three of them, anyway- and farm-style ish. She liked it from the outside, at least. It honestly even looked to be vacant, and the dust that blew up from the road told her no one had driven down it in a long while. "It doesn't look like anyone's been here in a while," she commented, killing the engine.
"That's probably a good thing" Bones said with a smile before climbing out of the car and walking over to the for sale sign. If they were going to do this they might as well do it right. So he pulled out his phone and called the realtor's number. Then he walked back to the truck and smiled at Emerson. It didn't take long for the realtor to answer and soon he was talking her into coming down, right now. She really didn't want to, but he made an offer she couldn't refuse, definitely made it seem like he was some kind of billionaire anyway. Though she probably wouldn't believe that once she sees them in person. Anyway, once Bones was done on the phone he hung up and smiled at Emerson. "Alright she's on the way" he said and pulled a baggy out of his pocket. "Who do you want to be?" he asked and smirked before pulling out fake IDs, "Mr. and Mrs. Handerson?" he said and tossed some cards at her, both fake license one for each of them. "The Kellys" he said and handed her two other cards. He went through about five different names handing the fake identification to her as he went.
Emerson eyed the licenses and IDs warily, although she smirked at Bones. "You know I'll be asking where you got these later, right?" She looked them over again. "What a coincidence... Us being married," she teased, although she chewed her lip. "It does make sense enough to be buying a house, though." She picked up a set of fakes to choose, although they were honestly random, as she didn't care who they were for the time being. "The Malloys. Funny, we're Irish." She rolled her eyes and chuckled, handing Bones his in turn. "Good?"
Bones laughed softly and nodded "Yeah that's good. He said and placed the new licence in his wallet and put the other back in the bag and then tossed em into a bag in the back seat. He smiled, "And I made em, about a month ago. Figured we need em eventually, and well I also figured if we ran away it would be safer if we were together" he said with a smile before turning his head slightly at the sounds of someone driving up behind the truck into the driveway.
Emerson climbed out of the driver's side and closed the door, sliding the new information in her back pocket as she met Bones where he stood and waited for the car to arrive. "Did the realtor tell you anything about it when you were on the phone?" Emerson ask-whispered into his ear.
Bones shook his head slightly, "Nah she was mostly going on about how she was already with a client. Don't think she likes us very much" he said with a chuckle. The realtor and got out of the car to walk over to Bones and Emerson. "Are you two suppose to be the immensely wealthy buyers I just talked to?" doubt clearly in her voice.
Bones chuckled, "Why yes of course" he said with a smile. "Randy Malloy" he said and shook her hand polite. "Don't look like much but I assure you I wasn't lying on the phone. I am willing to pay a handsome fund for this property" he said down at Emerson. "Arently we darling" he said and wrapped his arm around her shoulder.
"We are." Emerson giggled easily, leaning into Bones's embrace before holding out her hand to shake the woman's. "Katherine," she introduced herself before looking off at the house with a fake dreamy look on her face. "It's gorgeous," she breathed in awe before looking to the realtor. "How long has it been on the market?"
The woman looked the two up and down. "Just a few months. The previous owner had to leave town on a family emergency and decided to leave permanently. He's left it furnished and everything."

Bones smiled, "Sounds good, mind if we check it all out. See if it's to our liking" he asked, trying to be polite for once. Wasn't exactly easy but he managed. Though it really didn't help that the realtor was still looking at them like something she'd scrap off the bottom of her shoe. "Katherine sweetie, why don't take Copper and check out the house" he said, he sensed the Copper shifted back into the tabby form when the realtor pulled up. "While I talk numbers with Miss..." he said trailing off so she could fill in the blank.
The woman didn't apologize for not introducing herself at first, but replied with a haughty, "Abernathy." Emerson gritted her grinning teeth, but obeyed Bones, not really wanting to get in the middle of the woman's nastiness at that moment. She opened the truck door and gently picked up the tabby, and Copper barely stirred as she held her and closed the door again, the cat slipping asleep. She glanced at the realtor again before heading off around to the look at the outside of the house for now, wondering if there would be room for a garden.
