ROUSSEAU'S
[The Artem's and Cami were working on cracking the code that Father Kieran left for them in the box that his key opens, when several men in suits come in and start clearing out the customers. Cami sees what they're doing and goes over to find out what's going on, the siblings get up and follow after her.]
CAMI: Hey. HEY! What are you--
FRANCESCA: [walks into the restaurant] I tried to be nice about this...
[Cami quickly stuffs the notepad she was writing in into her back pocket]
CAMI: Who the hell do you think you are?
FRANCESCA: I am the new owner of this...[looks around in distaste] gumbo shack. Ink's not dry on the contract, yet, but I can tell you I got it cheap. Business is not what it used to be, since Sophie Deveraux kicked the bucket.
[One of her security guards locks the restaurant door so no one can get in or out. Cami get nervous, while Amelia and Wyatt get in front of Cami protecting her.]
CAMI: Look, I don't want any trouble.
FRANCESCA: I don't really care what you want. Let's talk about what I want.
CAMI: Right. My uncle's key.
FRANCESCA: Mmhmm.
CAMI: You said you were going to use it to protect the innocents of the city?
AMELIA: Seems pretty ironic, considering your line of work.
FRANCESCA: [smiles fakely] I'm a legitimate businesswoman who's never been convicted of a crime.
AMELIA: [mumbles] Yet.
FRANCESCA: [circles around them] And, as leader of the Human Faction, that key is mine. I gave you time to mourn. Now, time's up!
CAMI: Message received. Let me just go find that key I don't have.
FRANCESCA: My family's been in New Orleans a long time, Cami. Even longer than yours! Even yours. [motioning to the Artem's] And we've learned it's a very hard city to get by in if you don't have any friends.
AMELIA: She has friends, family actually. [putting her arm around Cami]
FRANCESCA: [looking at Amelia] I'd like to be your friend, a better friend. [looks back at Camille] So I'm going to give you until tomorrow. And after that, I won't be so friendly.
[Francesca smiles coldly and leaves with her security team, as Cami stares.]
