[CHRISTIAN KIRKWOOD]

Sometimes in life, you have to do things you don't want to do. Take hunting, for example. Not hunting the supernatural, but real hunting like hunting for your supper. You have a weapon (gun or bow and arrow or even a spear or knife, or a trap), you go after an animal. You have to know this animal's habits. Where they're going to be, what they're going to do, what they like, what they can sense, etc. You have to go after the animal and kill it. When it all boils down to it, its your stomach versus some cute Bambi (the stag, not the doe, that'd be pointless!).

But today, you had options. You no longer had to hunt or gather your food if you didn't want to. Not that anyone could actually not do something like that if they wanted to. However, you had to find a hunting ground well away from people if you wanted to hunt. And that could be hard to find in the modern world. Used to, too, people would walk or ride a horse (or donkey or camel, depending where you were) or drive a wagon or carriage to get from point A to point B. Nowadays, you had to have a motorized vehicle if you wanted to get anywhere fast or rely on public transportation or pay for a ticket somewhere. If you didn't have money for that though..you had to get creative.

Now, Christian Kirkwood had nothing against hitchhikers, per se. Some of them were actually decent folks that just fell on hard times. And then some of them were just plain crazy. You had to talk to the hitchhikers to find out though and trust that your skill with a weapon of sorts and your instincts would tell you if they were otherwise well on their way to making you into a belt.

So, when Nora spotted a young woman on the side of the road with her thumb out, he didn't think twice about pulling over a few yards ahead of her to let her in. They had a photo shoot spread to do in New Mexico, but they weren't in much of a hurry to get there as they were well ahead of schedule. So, anywhere this girl needed to go, they could surely oblige her. Nora was the one to roll down the window to their RV, but it was Nora's turn to drive and Christian's to ride anyway (they were just gonna switch of early, he supposed). So, he was the one at the window when the woman walked up to it and he asked, "Where ya headed?"

((I made it vague, just in case, but if you need me to change where they're headed to match her's, then I can!))

The ending theme for The Hulk was stuck in Tam's head as she walked down the highway. To be fair, she was like a much cuter version of Bill Bixby at the wend. Carrying a backpack, turning around when she heard a car approach, flashing a sweet smile, hoping that they'd offer Tam's a ride. Hitchhiking was the safest way to travel, but Tam's had pretty good instincts about people - and she was a little crazy, and maybe she liked to take a few risks. Recap of Mission: Find Her Momma's Baby Daddy. - Attacked by a vampire. - Saved by a warlock who disappeared - Helped out an angel who dropped her on the east coast. - Met Matty and was lured into a trap by evil bookstore owner. - Met Luke - a shapeshifter in a warehouse. Yeah it had been an interesting journey so far. Unfortunately she still wasn't any closer to finding her father. At least it didn't seem that way. This new clue was leading her to New Mexico. Something about a Native American lady out in the desert who might know where Sastre Quicksilver was. Tam's other companions all had things to do - their own missions to accomplish, but she had their numbers if she needed them, and she could just pray for Castiel. She thought that Secret Angel Man was pretty damn cool. Even if she hadn't met all those people, Tam's would still be hitchhiking. She'd done it quite a few times before. You just had to pay attention to who you were getting in the car with. Sometimes people were creepy, but Tam's was pretty good at getting out of sticky situations. It was pretty much her forte'. The growl of tires hissed on gravel and Tam's turned, once more sticking her thumb out. She tucked a fly away strand behind her ear when the wind blew her hair wild. The sun made her blue eyes sparkle and she put on her trademark smile, hoping that the people would stop. When the RV pulled over, Tam's scampered over to the window. "You wouldn't happen to be headed in the direction of New Mexico would ya, cutie?" notes here

Christian grinned over at the girl standing outside his window. His was an easy grin that went all the way to his eyes. This girl didn't seem to set off any warning bells in his head, but he'd been fooled before by a pretty face and a charming smile. Nora would always tease him that he could pick a con artist out of a crowd if they were male, but when it came to women, he was putty in their hands. To which, he would glare and scoff, but really, deep down, he knew it was partly true.

It seemed like fate or something that they should be headed to New Mexico. Must have been some sort of fluke that Nora and him were slated to take some pictures of some Native American folk art out in the desert of New Mexico. Yet, here was this girl, saying she needed to go to New Mexico when they were headed there too. He nodded and said, "Was just on our way there..Have to take some photos of some Native American folk art and cave paintings for a magazine article." He squinted off to the distance and looked at Nora who gave him a nod before saying, "Hop on in; we've got an extra bunk you can sleep in, if ya like."

He went and got up then and unlocked the door to the main part of the RV before he opened it for her, poking his head out to see if she was headed inside before stepping aside. It could get a little crowded there, so he climbed back up the stairs and sat on the couch. Shine Down was playing over their speakers from the iPod that was hooked up to the RV. The RV wasn't going anywhere until everyone was inside though. So, they were just waiting for the girl to decide if she wanted to travel with them...

Yeah, the guy sticking his head out the window was pretty damn hot. Tam's had no problem taking the time to leer at him in an up and down slow motion fashion. "Helloooooooo nurse!" Tam's grinned and winked at the man. She was a flirt, probably always would be. Tam's had the ambition to live for the moment, because honestly she didn't know how long her life was going to be. More than likely though she was going to wind up a blind, footless, thirty something who died never having a sugar filled cupcake. There was no reason that Tam's should damper the situation. It didn't even show through her eyes that the thought flashed through her mind. Tam's was good with masks, ons, and the like. She was good at a lot of things, and living was one of them. This hitchhiking was something Tam's had done for a long time. She was good at reading people and if this guy gave off any creepy vibes she totally would not be getting into the RV with him. "I'd appreciate it." She grinned and stepped inside, smiling at the woman there. "So...you two look way to alike to be lovers. Which if you are, I'm gonna go with that's creepy and incestual because as much as you two look alike you've got to be related." Without wasting any time, Tam's dropped her book bag to the side. "Thanks for picking me up. You guys photographers then? Are there going to be half naked models up against the cave drawings?" Chuckling Tam's went and took a seat on the couch. "Or are they going to be fully naked?" notes here

The girl's 'hellooooo nurse' made the former military man's face break out into a huge grin at her leer. He didn't mind her leering. He was a male after all. It was a big ego boost to say the least as he enjoyed the view of the young woman as well. It had been a month since he'd seen Sari and he was really starting to feel that stretch out. This girl was something unique. A mix of sexy, cute, and a bit dark, but with a sense of humor to her. He was only going by first impressions though (i.e. her appearance and all ((I assume, its the usual wardrobe?))).

When the woman came inside and asked him and Nora if they were related and all that, with the whole bit about incest, well..Christian's eyebrow quirked up as he eyed the gal while he heard Nora make gagging noises as he grimaced. "Brother and sister..," he got a sly look then, glancing sideways at his sister, "She's too dorky for me to go for if she wasn't anyway." That earned him an empty plastic Dasani bottle to the head before he chuckled and closed the door to the RV.

The RV got moving then as the young woman sat on the couch beside Christian. The brunette man stretched out and regarded her as he put his feet up onto the coffee table, an easy grin spreading across his lips at her words as he heard his sister nearly choke on her water. "Well, well, we should keep you around, missy. You've got some killer instincts..I'll have to call my agent to see if we can't double book then, but no, right now the plan is just the cave paintings for National Geographic..But if my agent can swing it, then we'll have models over there too. Hopefully they don't ask Nora to fill in. That would be awkward as Hell," he said, grimacing a bit, "Unless she was in a swimsuit..That'd work." He shrugged then, his gears turning now before shaking his head.

He tilted his head at her, letting his eyes travel across her body to take in every inch of her before asking, "What is your name, you sexy, sexy siren?" He could almost feel Nora's eyes rolling from the driver's seat, but he ignored that for now.

[NORA KIRKWOOD]

Nora couldn't help but roll her eyes when the woman said her hello nurse bit. She knew her brother couldn't help how handsome he was, or the effect he had on women. It was like breathing to him. However, it could get old real fast. Too fast, if you asked her. She tended to tune it out these days. Christian could get an STD for all she cared (not that she thought this girl had one, but well, she didn't know her!). The amount of girls he flirted with and hit on, she wasn't sure how he'd avoided it for so long except for maybe continual condom usage.

The whole they had to be siblings or this was incest if they were a couple deal caught her by surprise. She wasn't sure if she wanted to laugh or say 'ewwww'. She settled on miming gagging, complete with noises and glaring at Christian when he said she was too dorky for him anyways. She then threw an empty water bottle at his head, catching him on the side of his head.

She rolled his eyes at his chuckles as she put the RV in gear, pulling back onto the road. Honestly, what the Hell?! He totally didn't have to go there. Then again, he was her brother. And he tended to dive headfirst into waters that most people avoided. Well, the waters that smart people avoided. Christian just charged through life and expected his charm and good looks and skills to keep him alive or get him out of sticky situations.

She sort of tuned the conversation out then as she was in the cab area and they were in the living area and not talking too loud. Plus the music was going. She wasn't willing to turn the music off, so she was leaving Christian to whatever it is that he was talking to her about. She was all ready for him to get slapped at some point though. Her horny brother often poured the charm onto pretty young things. And like she said, he liked to dive headfirst into crazy situations.

Tam's couldn't help but laugh at the confidence that Christian had. She leaned forward, resting her elbows on the table, fingers under her chin and batted her eyelashes. Judging from the glances that his sister was giving, she was a little annoyed with him. Tam's wondered if that's what it was like to have a sibling. The odd looks, joking stairs. Tamara had friends, and they were basically her family, but it was a different dynamic. She always wondered what it would have been like to grow up with a family, but even as she thought it, Tam's continued smiling, her blue eyes twinkling with mischief. "Sexy, sexy siren, huh?" Tam's winked at him. "Is that the best you can do? Hottie hitchiker would have been great, I don't sing. I dance, but not sing." She winked at him. "Anyways, my name is Tamara Anastassia Belova." She held up a hand. "And before you say anything, yes I know it's a mouthful, so Tamara or Tam's is just fine." Somehow Tam's had managed to keep her name in the system. It made her wonder who dropped her off when her mom died. Though that wasn't really important now. Mom's was dead. Daddy was alive. It was just a matter of tracking his ghost like ass down. She'd figure out some way to do it. Tam's was nothing if not persistent. Once we get to New Mexico I'll bail out. As much fun as a half naked, sexy lady, hieroglyphics photo shoot sounds, I'm on a mission, and I can not let myself be distracted." She openly leered at Christian taking in all of his assets. Not even by hot man candy." notes here
