There's two more people inside the house. One feels like pleasure and fascination and sick, sadistic hunger. The other is in a great deal of pain. Their emotions are somewhat... dimmed, but she can feel the occasional spike of terror-fury emerge from beneath the fog, before it fractures again into more diffuse fear. They're either drugged or in too much pain to feel much else. Possibly a combination of the two.

It's like a punch in her gut, and she gasps for air.

The woman's attention snaps to her when she stumbles and gasps, watching her with curiosity but no concern.

"...Are you alright?" She calls out after a moment. 

Percy jumps like surprised on seeing the other woman there. "I-" she says with a shaking voice. "I am. I probably shouldn't have jogged this far."

"Mmm. We've only been here for a week or so, but I don't think I've seen you around here in that time. How far did you jog? " She steps down from the porch, slowly making her way across the lawn towards Percy. "Would you like something to drink? I can send one of these fine boys to grab you something."

"That won't be necessary." Percy withdraws her sense and focus on the woman. This has a visible effect on how well she looks, but she still is a bit shaken. "I am currently moving to town and have been looking around the neighborhoods."

"Supposedly this is a nice one. A bit boring for my taste, but there's a whole city to find more interesting things in, so I suppose there's no reason to complain." She really is very bored. She's a little interested in the conversation - likely because it's something new to do - but that interest is waning. 

Okay. Charming mode on. That pain can be shoved way waaay back. "Uh, since you're new too we could go out and figure out what the town has to offer?"

Amused, "Oh, I don't know, my husband-" a word she finds hilarious, apparently "-asked me to keep an eye on those two. He'd be very disappointed if I took off to enjoy the sights without him..." She's clearly tempted, though. 

Percy glances down at her hand for a ring, which also masks a look at Jackie's emotional state. "But clearly, you had to help poor me, like a good Samaritan. He doesn't need to know how."

Amusement and mild interest are overcoming boredom at the moment, though there's still a fair amount of the latter. She's wearing two rings - a wedding ring and a simple ruby engagement ring. She wiggles her fingers at Percy with a smile when she notices her looking. 

"That's true," she agrees thoughtfully, before pouting, "It's only fair I have a little fun, too. He's been so busy with his new project lately he's hardly paid me any attention at all." 

Percy looks at the rings appreciatively. "You definitely need some entertainment of your own."

"You know what, you're right." She looks up, noting the fading light of the day, "And it's just getting late enough to enjoy the nightlife, too. Give me a moment to change and I'd love to go out." She backs up a step, and then pauses, "Oh, I'm Jackie, by the way. Jackie Spade."

"Perseverance Logan, but call me Percy."

"Oh, another long name, huh? Mine's actually Jacqueline." She mock shudders, then laughs, "Well, I'll see you in a moment, Percy. Don't go anywhere!" 

She jogs back up to the house, slipping inside beneath a table the movers are bringing through the door. 

She doesn't. Instead, she just types furiously about what just happened and for the Graywards to do something about it.

And a few minutes later, Jackie comes back outside, more casual outfit replaced with something a little shorter and skimpier. Once she gets down the steps, she waves Percy over to the garage, "Come on, we can take my car," she offers, pressing the garage door control on her keychain. The door opens to reveal the same car that Davin was seen getting into after placing the note in the Starrs'. 

"Nice ride." Percy says, she is good at not showing any sort of panic related to entering a vehicle with a potential kidnapper. "Do you mind if we pass at my hotel, so I can change clothes?" She gives the address, it's a fairly decent one.

"Thanks," she laughs, "And not at all." 

And off they go to the hotel. 

"So you're thinking of moving here, huh? On your own, or are you bringing a family?"

"I have a boyfriend, possibly fiancée. Not with me today."

"What, he left you to scout the town out all on your own?"

"He has the most complicated family situation. As in, he has multiple half-brothers, and them and his father won't just let him leave."

The slowly growing anticipation she'd been feeling since Percy got in the car with her settles down a bit at this. 

"Wow, you hear about clingy families, but... So you've gotta have the escape route prepared before he leaves, huh?"

"That's the idea. I can't even tell you for sure I want to marry the dude, but I am serious enough to do something like this, at least."

She's feeling the sort of morbid intrigue that one feels when they accidentally turn on the soap opera channel and then get sucked in.

"Wow, that's really nice of you. I guess we'll just have to see how it goes, huh? At least you'll have one friend in the area, now."
