Times Square

In a tired part of the city
Hiding from the fast talk
Watch 'Don't walk' to 'Walk'
Easy when you're dreaming
Staring at the movies
Standing in a circle,
Laughing at the wrong time.

If alcohol could take me there.
I'd take a shot a minute
And be there by the hour.

Take a walk around Times Square
With a pistol in my suitcase
And my eyes on the TV.


By day, the junction of Broadway and Seventh Avenue dazzles all the senses. By night, the senses are electrified. Anything could happen between Sixth and Eighth Avenues, from West 40th to West 53rd.

He smiles as she repeats herself, one of his overlarge fingers brushes under her chin.

"I would like that."

He looks at her for a long while, then turns to continue walking her towards the library.

Marion's breath catches for a moment.

"Maybe for lunch sometime?"

Soon. Please?

"Certainly."

They turn a corner, though he's mainly taking his cues on where to go from her.

"This is my first time in your fair city. Perhaps you could show me around."

And point out some likely Lehnsherr locations for future reference.

Marion points out the library two blocks down from where they've turned the corner. "Of course. I don't know it all that well myself, Kurt. I don't do a lot of walking around on my own but I'll gladly show you what I know."

"Then we may discover it together."

He gives her arm a promising squeeze as they approach the library steps. At least three promising locations to disappear into have already been spotted by him. He figures he'll find 5 more before her ride shows up.

Luisa isn't here yet, which is something of a miracle. She should be. She really should be here. Marion looks for the car and doesn't see it right away. "Luisa will be here soon. I'm surprised she's not here now." There is a smile for Kurt. "Thank you again."

He lifts her hand to his lips once more.

"Mein Vergnügen, schönes."

The kiss to her hand hesitates for just a moment as he spots a car approaching the curb. No sense taking chances.

"It looks as if you chariot has arrived."

When she turns to look in that direction, she will find herself on the receiving end of a velvety kiss to her cheek, then his voice filters back from a distance up the stairs.

"I will find you."

"I-I don't..." Marion will have to pick up some German quickly, she has a feeling. The kiss to her cheek gets her eyes to open wide again.

"How will..? Kurt...? Thank you...."

Blinking for a few moments, she looks for him and then turns toward the car, feeling like she's floating. It will be an interesting ride home.
