Isa had been there all night, she could have gone home, she probably should have.
But she didn't, she couldn't make herself.
She only went there during the day and with other people. She was too scared to be there herself, so she had offered to work double shifts all week.
And she had barely slept any in two days.
So when she sat down on her last break, she found herself drifting in to a restless sleep.

*Simon rubbed his temple idly, trying to press back an oncoming headache. At least he'd made it through his shift. There should be enough time to grab something to eat and at least sit down for a bit before seeing if the on call staff needed anything. He wasn't that eager to go home. At least here things were...occupied. He was needed. Pushing his way heavily into the lounge, he did what he could not to think about Isa and the fact that he'd stood on her doorstep for almost half an hour with that wine. Simon hadn't seen her sense. And he might be a dolt when it came to women, but he figured that probably meant she didn't want to see him. Which was weird, if only because things seemed to have gone so well.
He frowned privately as he continued across the room, only to notice someone trying to sleep on one of the bunks. He slowed instinctively, trying to navigate the room as quietly as possible. Which of course, meant he bumped a table as he tried to pass it, sending a pile of books tumbling loudly to the floor. He grimaced, crouching quickly to set them back on the table.*

The noise was enough to pull Isa from her sleep and sit up, gun in hand, aiming straight for the noise. Her eyes were groggy enough that she didn't see Simon picking the books up at first "Who's ther- Simon?"

*Simon straightened, bumping his head on the table as he moved to set up the last of the books.*
"Ow! Uh...yes?"
*Rubbing the back of his head, he stood, looking rather sheepish.*
"Oh, uh...Isa? It's nice to...to see you." *He finally managed.*

"Oh my god" she lowered her gun, suddenly remembering everything she had promised "oh my god, Simon, I'm so sorry."

*When she lowered the gun, Simon's shoulders relaxed a bit.*
"It's ok. My fault for stumbling around. Sorry to wake you."
*He didn't want to talk about being stood up. He didn't want to think about it. And yet, it was pretty much all that was on his mind.*

"No, no it's not" she looked down at the floor "you must hate me" she didn't have to say what for, if she thought she understood Simon at all, she'd know he'd get it.

"Oh no." *Simon assured her.* "It's not like you're the first person that almost shot me." *Not a joke, but a close approximation of one. He gave a weak laugh. But knowing better, he quieted, daring a step closer to her.*
"Isa...what happened? Did I do something? I didn't mean to offend you..."

Her face caught the light from the other side of the room and she gave Simon a mournful look. "I forgot about our date, I-" she stopped the sob from hitting her throat, she was tired of crying, tired of being afraid, she should be stronger.
"She's dead Simon, Scarlett's dead."

*Hearing her words he hurried to her side, sitting on the cot next to her, but hesitant to touch her.*
"Oh my God." *He breathed, eyes intent on her.*
"I...I'm so sorry. What happened?"

With that she simply broke down "After she came home, after being attacked... she, he found her! He found her and he killed her in her bed, in my house, he killed her!"

*Simon was officially out of his league. He carefully patted her back, trying his best to soothe her.*
"Who did?" *He asked, not sure he wanted the answer.*

"You wouldn't believe me" she sobbed "y-you couldn't..."

*Simon frowned slightly, mostly out of concern for Isa.*
"It's ok. Just try me."
*After all, he'd seen a lot of weird crap in his day.*

She looked up at him her eyes wide, she didn't believe he'd understand, he'd probably think she was completely crazy now.
"Werewolf."
