Macavity sighed, leaning back against his chair and rubbing a paw over his eyes. To hell with it. Maybe it was almost two in the morning, but it wasn't like she didn't work late anyway. Picking up the phone, he dialed the number for the Fishbone.

Griddlebone had just finished locking up for the night, the last customer having left, when the phone rang. She sighed before going and answering it. All she really wanted to do was go to bed. "Hello?"

"Hey," Mac said, wincing slightly at how tired she sounded. "It's Macavity. I figured you would still be awake, sorry if I woke you..." Did he just say sorry? Hell.

She came more awake at his voice. "Oh, no. I haven't gotten upstairs yet. Just closed up for the night." She leaned her hip against the wall as she spoke. "What can I do for you?"

"Not sure," he murmured, though he could oddly enough feel himself relax slightly. "Just wanted to hear from you... or see you."

Grids couldn't help the soft laugh at that. "Well, there aren't any buses running at this hour and I don't have a car, but it's good to hear from you."

"I am a little, but I wouldn't say no to you coming and picking me up." She replied.

"If you're sure you wouldn't mind," Mac checked again, though he was already standing and looking around for his hat and thinking which car to demand from the valet. At least he was fairly sure that damn desk clerk would already be asleep by this point.

"Not at all." The white queen answered, straightening and considering whether she should change at all...perhaps freshen up a bit.

"'reat," Mac said, "See you in a minute or so then?"

"I should certainly hope it takes you longer than that to get from uptown, but yes. See you soon." She laughed lightly.

"Right, exaggeration," he said, though he was grinning. "See you soon." He hung up the phone, racing for the stairs.

Griddlebone hung up, slipping upstairs to freshen up, running a brush through her hair and changing into a clean skirt and blouse, dabbing on just a hint of perfume. She checked her appearance in the polished mirror that sat on her old, cracked dressing table. Something was..ah! She reached up, removing the gold necklace and picking up the silver one, slipping it around her neck and fastening it carefully. She picked up her coat and descended the stairs again.

Mac arrived several minutes later, pulling up outside the door, and considering for a moment before getting out, leaving the car running to knock.
