When she scurried out the back, no one gave any immediate notice to her exit. She had a natural aura that was wraith-like in presence and haunting in absence. She spoke little and had striking eyes that exposed the very essence of mystery.
...But her escape from the room was largely due to the fact that it held no more than five people at the moment.
Quick on her feet, she went out, took the first two lefts, then a right, and headed down the alley. At the end stood a man, half hidden by shadow, half by the ridiculous garb of a fully-covering black mask, a dull brown trench-coat, and a Fedora in a similar shade.
She was the first to break the silence.

Well? Is everything in order?

Not quite.
Came the response.

What do you mean 'not quite'?
If you could have seen through the mask, one would know just how nervous the masked man was about answering that question.
Quote:
The Bride...Has been-Well...Abducted, I suppose. No one knows of her whereabouts.
In the dark alleyway, silence reigned.

Abducted?
Quote:
Er. Yes, Madame.
Quote:
Well, find her. You were put in charge of making certain that she arrived here safely with the groom. And you will. I'll be taking care of the rest from there.
Frustrated by the shadowy figure's incompetence in supervising such a simple task, she began to head back to the Reception.
DERP. I hate how the colouring came out,
but I need to practice it so whatever.
