His name was Jones, Mr Jones to most, 'Oh Crap It IS Him' to others. He had faced Demons, Devils, Monsters, Ghosts and things beyond any human definition in the past twelve years. He had been angry at times, furious at others, worried and even a bit afraid... but this was the first time in a long time he had felt nervous. He looked up from his candy red muscle car up to the hospital and reached back into the back seat for what he had brought with him. His peace offering, his gift and as he brought it forward he stared... just stared at it... half the petals on the white and red roses had been ripped off... he had left the hood off. He took a moment to punch the steering wheel before settling down. The roses were the worse for wear... the petals were half gone, the stems seemed bent where he had squeezed them earlier, and even the white and red ribbons seemed the worst off then they had been. He considered bailing... coming back some other time. Maybe buying a brand new bouquet...
Jones shook his head, the longer he put this off the less likely it would happen. He would drive back to his apartment, climb inside the vault of a room... and lock himself in and pass out on his couch cursing himself. Steeling his nerve he popped open the door and pocketing the keys he forced his legs to propel him towards. As he stood he reached to the passanger seat and picked up the final part of his outfit for the day. A fedora that matched his current outfit. Swallowing for the thousandth time he walked through the front door of the hospital, ignoring the sterile scent of the place and continued on. It had taken quite a bit of talking, charming, and finally intimidating to find out Tanzy's work schedule. Even more to make sure the person he was asking wouldn't tell Her and spoiler everything. He hoped for the thousandth time she would take this as... sweet.. and not stalkery... but he didn't know a better way. He was much better at hunting then dating.
He walked past security who looked at bit startled at him especially those that had seen him before. He walked by a couple of those he had 'chatted' with to make this happen, and finally he arrived near the nurses station he knew she would have to pass to get to either the nurse's changing area or the time clock and sat down. And there he sat. A tall brick wall of a man with gray hair, a tattered white and red flowers, and wearing off all things what appeared to be a pinstripe suit from the days of the prohibition. The light gray and white stripes making him look even taller and broader and a much less.. intimidating look then the usual 'Man in Black' look. He was also wearing a new leather coat, this one black to match better with his outfit that was accessorized down to a pocket watch and spats on his feet. Once again he swallowed... and waited for her to come off shift.
