Thread: The Town

Location First Floor Front Doors Tag Arek, Rupi Arek had his eyes closed, looking for that calm center that he had, that point that he could use to fuel his hunt. It had served him well over the years, and he'd need it now. This subject had been a part of the insitute since before there really was and institute. The files were extensive, a lot about her mental instability. But then, he assumed that the good doctor riding with him knew more about that than he did. He felt a faint heat source in his pocket, adn snapped his eyes open. He dug around, found it, adn pulled it out. Not much to it really, just an ancient silver coin. There was a stamp on it, showing a man's head. Tiberius. The coin had been a rare thing, hard to find, harder to steal, but worth it. Still, the heat was unexpected. I would normally only warm up when it was close to something considered unholy. He blinked a moment, filing that fact away, and sliding the coin into a pocket under his body armour. Something needing investigation later. The SUV came to a halt as an ambulance was unloading EMTs. Arek raised a hand, and he and the team piled out. It only took a moment to see Candice on a stretcher to make Arek satart wondering exactly what the hell was going on here. Miller was there. That was even stranger really. He heard the barked orders, the directional information, and shook his head. A mess to say teh elast, when upper memebrs of the board might be actually killing one another. The fallen phone that rang had Arek swooping to lift it up. He recognized the case. Candice. A quick move answered it. The starty of Kaige's speech made Arek smile. It was going to be fun. He looked back at Rupi. Here. Talk to her. You know her better than anyone else here. He tossed the phoen to her. Arek looked in the direction that Miller had pointed, and smiled. She's west. Mount up, we're moving. How do you know? Victor asked. Arek pointed to the west. A column of brewing smoke was rising. Good indicator. She losing her shit, and there's smoke. He looked to Rupi. Try to keep her taling, talking screaming, whatever, it'll slow her down, distract her. He said quietly. The SUV was on the move again, heading fast for Kaige. Do we have a kill order? Victor asked. Negative, we have kill option, but I'm overuling it. Bring her in alive. She's more valuable that way, both for research, and as a symbol. She might have run, but you can't run far enough, or fast enough to escape for long. Arek explained. THe men nodded. Werapons were checked. They were going in soon. Arek let out a breath. His calm came over him, and he looked at the people fleeing the now burning building. This was going to be fun. Arek led the team to a side entrance, one that was not being flooded with people. A hard boot got the door open, and the men flooded into the building. Heat was intense, and visibility was limited. That had ups and downs. Teh men put in teh small respirators, biting down on a bar that llowed them to get around ten minutes of air. This had to be fast. They moved in. Following the heat was easy, as was some of the shouting that was still happening. It sounded like Rupi was still giving him some time to move in. He pointed to two men, waved them on, then others to go in different directions. He readied teh dart gun. It was short ranged, he had to get close, and survive being that close. His men would have to keep them busy. THere was a burst of gun fire, adn Arek just hoped his men followed the order. Two gaurds saw Kaige, saw where she was standing, and opened fire. BUllets chewed up the pavement at her feet, sending small shards fo it into the air, distracting, painful, but not overly dangerous. They started to run, spreading out, and shooting again, trying to pin her down.
