 Anita heads home shortly thereafter and finds a horrifying sight in the kitchen – Abuela with three empty cans of beer. Anita is flabbergasted and demands to know what exactly is going on today; Abuela admits a rash of ominous Tarot readings and strange sightings has descended upon Springfield. One of her cronies – a woman named Maritza – saw two gringos at Central High School chase a ghost and nearly get electrocuted for their troubles; Anita makes a mental note to check on Erika and David tomorrow. The Witch suddenly comes out of her dormancy and blurts, “How the hell did he see us?” Anita winces but decides to deal with Grubby Man’s discovery later. She asks what reading came up in Abuela’s Tarot cards and Abuela replies, “Death, The Devil, and The Hierophant, all reversed.” ((**Past – Death (Reversed)**: Stagnation, the cycle stalls and sputters instead of starting anew. **Present – The Devil (Reversed)**: Slavery ends, chains break. Often a good sign, it can also herald chaos. **Future – The Hierophant (Reversed)**: Orthodoxy and dogma used for temporal or greedy ends, instead of furthering beliefs and morality.)) Anita winces and asks Abuela for help in warding the house tonight and the shop tomorrow, just in case. She also plans to gather the others and check out the cathedral as soon as she can. Anita heads home shortly thereafter and finds a horrifying sight in the kitchen – Abuela with three empty cans of beer.

-Isobel is up early – for her – and heads to the physical therapy center at Baystate Medical Center for her formal orientation. The appointment is at 8:30 AM and she arrives with a few minutes to spare. The interior of the building itself is done in soothing blues and greens, a far cry from the harsh ER with its antiseptic whites. She introduces herself to [[wod:characters:marge|Marge]], the receptionist, and is waved into an office. She meets her new boss, [[wod:characters:dr_spoto|Earnestine Spoto]], Earnestine is in her mid-fifties and has healthy skin, short gray hair, and a runner’s build. She is very genial and welcomes Isobel, although she warns her that physical therapy is a damn sight duller than working emergency medicine. Isobel retorts, “Exactly,” and Earnestine smiles with sympathy. The two women talk shop for a bit but Earnestine formally hires Isobel and wants her to start next Tuesday. Earnestine makes it clear that for the first few weeks she expects Isobel to be working alongside Marge and learning how the insurance aspect works, as she cheerfully admits she hates dealing with HMOs. This will also give Isobel a chance to change her sleeping schedule.+Isobel is up early – for her – and heads to the physical therapy center at Baystate Medical Center for her formal orientation.

 Isobel heads out to sign papers with Marge, who she finds politely aloof. After finishing the paperwork – and relishing the idea of a nine-to-five job with only the occasional weekend – Isobel heads out to return home. She drives off, but soon spots a black Ford F-150 pickup truck with a dual cab and shell over the back following her. She makes a few turns to see if she is correct, and each time the Ford pickup stays with her, although sometimes it’s a car-length or two back. Growing concerned, she pulls into a supermarket to be near people, and watches as the pickup drives right past the parking lot. Still uncertain, Isobel grabs some groceries and heads home without spotting anything else out of the ordinary. Isobel heads out to sign papers with Marge, who she finds politely aloof.
