River looked around. He saw the places she was talking about, but to him they didn't pose a threat. He knew how to handle the things in the night, she didn't. She did have his number though... River argued with himself, trying to decide what to do with this woman. He didn't really want to stay with her all night, he didn't want to stay in this place. He had work he needed to do, the tech work that Otto wanted him to do.
He could take her back to his place, at least his work place, the little house he used for his work. There was room for her there if she really didn't want to stay here...but he wasn't sure. "Well...what do you wanna do Lisa?"

I want to get home and turn on all the lights. she said and started walking again. She picked up the pace a bit as they neared her street. She chewed her lip and thought about taking out her can of mace... just in case. She glanced to River and had half a mind to ask him to stay with her tonight. Justto be sure those 'friends' he mentioned didn't find her tonight. Why did he have to ask her to help him earlier? Why drag her into it? She forced the thoughts out of her mind. She needed to get home. Then everything would be fine. She'd wake up tomorrow and maybe find all this to be a weird crazy dream.
She turned the corner and led River down the street to the second house. It was a small blue house with a small fower garden under the front window beside the small concrete porch. She glanced back to him as she reached into her purse to find her keys. Want to come in for a littel bit? she asked, trying to hide the hope in her voice that wanted him to say yes.

River bit his lip. He considered his options for a moment. If he stayed for very long he ran the risk of feeling sorry for her and staying all night. He couldn't do that because he had work he needed to do for Otto. He looked over to her door and sighed. It was his duty to make sure she was ok.
River nodded and went inside with her, determined to only stay for a few minutes.

Lisa smiled despite the situation as she shut the door behind them. hse set down her purse and turned on the living room lights. It was a small cozily firnished place. Every thing was in earthy tones. Your self comfortable, i'll go make some coffee. she said and then went thru out the house turning on all the lights before heading to teh kitchen

River nodded and sat on the couch, looking around uncomfortably. He wasn't sure how to feel about the cozy atmosphere. He was pretty much used to his friends cluttered messes and his own crazy living spaces. There usually was some form of technology laying on every surface in his own home, something he was fiddling with or fixing for someone...or just trying to make better.
River pulled his phone out of his pocket, contenting himself with messing around on it. He waited patiently for her to come back.

How do you like your coffee? Lisa called from the kitchen a few moments later. She was getting the cups out and ready for when it was done brewing in the automatic coffee maker. She fixed hers with a couple extra spoonfuls of sugar. She wasn't planning on really sleeping tonight. She was too freaked out to close her eyes!

River looked towards the kitchen from his phone. "Just put a spoonful of sugar and a little milk." He looked back down at his phone, noticing a few of the keys sticking. He definitely couldn't have that. He took a tiny little kit out of his pocket, opening it to display an array of tiny tools. He took a few out and laid them on his leg.
River started taking his phone apart, determined to get his phone clean. He hated sticky keys. When the phone was completely apart, circuitry exposed, River took another of his tools and started cleaning the microprocessor. His phone could use a good cleaning. He figured when he got done with that he should probably clean the RF, TX, and RX amplifiers. At least this could give him something to do to pass the time while he sat here with her.

A few minutes later Lisa came in with the coffee. She put his cup on the coffee table in front of him and sat down next to him taking a small sip of her own coffee. What are you doing to your phone? she asked him curiously, watching him work.

River looked up at her and the coffee. He smiled a little and reached over, picking the hot coffee up and taking a slow sip of it. He nodded and set the cup down. "Good..." He said absently as he went back to messing with the phone.
"Well the first thing I'm doing is cleaning the Microprocessor." He showed her the circuitry he was messing with. "As soon as I get done doing that I'm going to start working on my RX amplifier."
