Bored Single Rabbits In Your Area

We've spent the last couple days scoping out our target. Tracking his paths throughout the day, marking his haunts, etc. I told Rat that we should just move in on the guy but she keeps telling me that there's no hurry. 

"Something's got him stuck here."

I asked her how she knew this.

"He knows he's being followed."

I took off my mask just so she could see the deadpan expression on my face and while her face was still covered with a mask, I'm pretty sure she rolled her eyes.

"By more than our mutual friend." 

That actually gave me some pause. 

"He saw us?"

Then to my confusion, she shook her head. 

"He hasn't seen us."

I told Rat that she wasn't making any sense. She rarely ever did, she loves speaking in vaguities (I know it isn't a word, get over it), and man is it annoying, but she was making even less sense in that moment.

"I don't know how, but he knows when we get close." I watched as she lifted one of her hands to where her mask cut off to reveal her mouth, chewing on her fingernails in what I knew to be either a sign of nervousness or irritation, maybe both. "He gets twitchy whenever were closer than a couple blocks."

"So he knows that someone-" Aside from the obvious something, "-is following him. Isn't that all the more reason to jump him now before he skips town?"

"Think about it. We've been following him for a week. He's known and hasn't once tried to run."

"Which means...?" 

I'm admittedly a little slow on the draw sometime. 

"Which means that something has him stuck here. We just have to find out what."

Basically, if our target is in no hurry, then why should we be? That's Rat's mindset, anyways.

It sucks, but I guess I shouldn't be too surprised. She's always cautious like this.

So since we're apparently taking our time with this one, I've had an excess of free time while Rat does her "research", which usually just consists of her disappearing for most of the day and then reappearing at the end of the night with no indication of whether it went well or not. She's never invited me to come along and I've never asked to.

So while she's been off doing whatever, I've been stuck in the hotel room with nothing but a tv and my phone. Nothing is ever on the tv, so I've just spent more time reading through more blogs. It's been entertaining enough but I still can't help but get antsy. I thought that taking a walk to the library to type this out might help, which spoiler, it hasn't. 

Hopefully Rat comes back tonight with good news. Either way, I'll update in a few days if anything interesting happens... or probably even if not.
