{Continuation}

((Josephine tries to focus her attention back to her empty cup. She had considered leaving and making a run for it but decided she was safer in this coffee house. It is getting increasingly more crowded as the time carries on. She can't help but worry about what kind of trouble Jack is in. Although she doesn't have any proof she's convinced herself that his house was broken into and he was attacked. She also believes everyone is aware of it, her closest friends know about what kind of trouble it is but have chosen to hide it from her. She feels a little irritated but also concerned because it must be pretty bad if Alice can't even tell her. She decides to put that to the back of her mind, being annoyed isn't going to solve anything. They had no obligation to involve her, but then again a warning would have been nice. If she had known what had happened she never would have gone to Jack's, meaning she never would have been seen by the two men sitting opposite her. At first glance they don't look scary, they are both in casual attire and seem to be having a pleasant conversation. For a little a while she considered that maybe she's overthinking it and these men are harmless but every time she peers up, they look away. She decides to take out her phone again, she hovers over Hero's number again but instead decides to call Charlie))

Josephine: "Charlie" ((she says awkwardly))

Charlie: "Jo! Where are you?" ((He responds his voice curious))

Josephine: "I'm at some cafe in shoreditch" ((she almost whispers))

Charlie: "Did you get lost again?" ((He chuckles a little)) "Just give me the address, I'll come get you" ((he adds))

Josephine: "Are you sure?" ((Her voice is getting weaker as the feeling of being watched deepens))

Charlie: "Well I mean we could try and film the scenes without you but I doubt it would work for the story" ((he falls silent for a moment)) "Nope, we totally need the lead for each one" ((he adds playfully))

Josephine: "I will text you the address, thank you" ((her voice is barely audible))

Charlie: "You must have bad service. I can barely hear you" ((he replies)) "Right, text me the address and I'll come get you" ((he adds before hanging up))

Josephine: ((texts the address to Charlie and feels a little relieved))

((Her chair creaks under her as she stands, she offers a sorry to the lady on the table next to her. She tucks it back in and double checks she has all her belongings. She does her best to keep herself calm and makes her way to the door. She keeps her eyes focused forward, as she makes it to the door she can't help but notice the two men have stood up. She reacts quickly swinging the door open and flying out. She doesn't look backwards, only charging for Charlie's car. Her breathing quickens and she buckles a little but manages to balance herself. She opens the passenger door, climbing in))

Josephine: ((closes the door quickly)) "Drive, Charlie drive" ((her words are rushed and harsh, she looks around but the men haven't spotted her))

Charlie: ((does as directed)) "Someone has had too many shots in their coffee" ((he jokes as they exit off the road and the cafe is no longer in sight))
