Deanna was growing impatient; the bus had just let on another passenger-- wasting precious time. She drummed her fingers along the rattling window.

The bus gave a huge lurch as it let the next passanger on. Lance wondered how much longer it would be. he raised his finger to stop sophie answering him, and stood up and waved to Stan. He came over, jingling some coins in his pocket.
"Hows ya doin, mate?" asked Stan.
"Oh, we are doin good. When is our stop, we are running late?"
"Oh, should be er in a few. Just relax."
"If you take us to the top of the cue, we will make it worth your while," said Lance.
"What you talkin bout?"
Lance serched in his pocket and found 8 gold gallions. He was used to bargining, every shop kepper had there limit, you just had to find it. He watched Stans face as he pulled out the eight coins. It lit up. He counted out three and droped them in his hand. Stans face fell. He put 1 more in, and said, "Take it or leav it," Stan looked at the other four coins, looked at his hand, and smiled. "Ill take it, come tot he front of the bus."
Lance signalled at his comrads to get up and move. On the way to the front of the bus, Lance saw a face he new. "Hello Dana... Fancy meeting you here"

Lil sat up straighter when Lance said Dana's name. Dana?! she thought furiously. I thought I was the only one spying.
She leaned closer to hear their exchange of words.

Deanna pulled on Lance's arm; Sophie had already gotten off the bus.
"You can play catch up later, Lance," she snapped. "Let's go."
But he wasn't listening to her. Deanna tugged harder.
"Lance, you just asked Stan to go faster, and now you've stopped!"
She let go of his arm and shrugged dramatically.
"Men," she muttered. "Can't live with 'em...."
Deanna decided to join Sophie and stepped off. She pulled one of the Extendable Ears from her robe pocket.
"I know it's from your competitor, Sophie," Deanna hastily apologized. "But listening in will be worth it."

Lance shook Deanna off his arm. Stupid whoman! He had just remembered that he had seen Dana at the bar the privious nioght, or thought he had seen her anyway... very strange considering he had not seen her in the last two years

Deanna felt pressure on the Extendable Ear and gasped in pain. A passenger had stepped on it. Stupid person for not watching where they walk Deanna thought to herself. And stupid Lance for not coming. Why can't he just do as we ask? We may just miss Eddie.
For a minute, she considered leaving Lance stranded on the Knight Bus. A vengeful smile flickered across her face but she shook it off.
He'll be a few minutes. Eddie can wait
But Deanna wasn't so sure. The bus may begin moving again and the Extendable Ear would be pulled out.
"Hold this," Deanna said, taking the flesh colored string from her ear and handing it to Sophie. Deanna could see Sophie's disdain. "Just for a bit..."
She searched her pockets quickly for her wand. Then, Deanna enlarged the Extendable Ear so she and Sophie could both listen in. She took it from Sophie and they began listening.

Dana looked up from the file of papers in her hands at Lance's words. "Hello, Lance," she replied, her tone giving off the impression that she didn't really want to spend a lot of time chatting.
Dana watched as Deanna and Sofie left the Knight Bus, though she did notice that Deanna seemed to be in somewhat of a hurry.
As the two other witches left, Dana also noticed Lil sitting on the bus as well.

Deanna sighed, "I don't think she wants to talk to him. Ah well, I'm being paranoid anyways."
She shrunk the Extendable Ear and stuffed it in her pocket.

Dana sighed, though not too loudly. "I know," she said, turning to look at Lance. "I needed to take some time off to visit a friend over in America. Personal reasons, mostly, and I just returned to London a few days ago. How have you been, Lance? Any new and major case developments anywhere?"

Sophie fiddled with the front of her robes. She was still worried about Eddie. She looked through the window of the bus at the conversation between Lance and what seemed to be an old friend. "Do you know her?" she asked, turning to Deanna.

"No. That's what worries me. She doesn't work for..." Deanna stopped.
Idiot! she chastized herself. You almost said Order! You idiot!
"I saw mouth movement. I'm going to give eavesdropping another go," Deanna said, pulling out the Extendable Ear again. "Honestly... This thing is worth the money..."

"ah... I see. And, have you been in the of- AHHHHHHH CHOOOOOOOOOO!" Lance intook a large amount of air, and then sneezed. Luckily for Dana, he heald his hand to his face, and brought out a hankerchife from his pocket.
"I was going to say office. sorry, allergy sea- seas- season-choo!" He wiped his nose again.

Dana turned away just at the moment that Lance sneezed again.
"Actually," she said, "I have been in the office. I just stopped by for a quick second the other day to pick up a few things.
"What have you been up to?" she continued, setting the file of papers down on the seat between her and the window. As she turned away from the window, she saw that Deanna and the other girl, whose name she believed was Sofie, were still standing outside the bus.
Now what is she up to? Dana thought as she watched Deanna search through her pockets.

Deanna heard Lance sneeze several times, and him talking. She heard a voice-- Dana-- responding. It was really nothing interesting; work discussion mostly, but Deanna didn't stop eavesdropping, not yet.
