Thread: No Good Deed Goes Unpunished (Kestral and JacksareWild)

Despite all the curves that Jessie had to lug around, she had a surprising amount of muscle under all that softness. Fast and strong, she hurriedly clambered up the metal of the fire escape with a speed that would have made her old drill sergeant proud. Higher and higher she went until finally she came up to the rooftop and now there was nowhere to go but forward. Fucking hell, why is my life like a bad action movie?! To the left, the second building was too high for her to make the jump, but to the right, that one seemed to be low enough that gravity wasnt going to screw her over. She darted to the side, speeding off towards the ledge. She could hear the footfalls of the massive wolf behind, but she knew better to look back. Look back and you die. She jumped, flying through the air and ending up on the next rooftop. Her legs failed to stick the landing and she ended up tumbling and rolling forward before she could control the forward momentum enough to get back onto her feet. This was it, she was going to die, there was no way that she was going to outrun that wolf forever. She was already starting to get tired, and that fall had cost her precious seconds. The young cop expected for the next sound she heard to be a panting wolf in her ear while she felt claws on her body, tearing away her clothes and subjecting her to a fate worse than death. Then hed probably kill her anyways, just to add insult to injury. But that alternate ending to her life never happened, instead, she heard a soft, fall away thud. And the next hands that were on her were human and female. She looked over, surprised to see Miss Bane here. And while she should probably a little more thankful that the other woman had saved her life, she was so high off adrenaline and nerves that she was pretty pissed off at everyone and everything in the world. Thank you?! This shit is all your fault! Jessie hissed angrily as she was dragged along by the other woman. Seriously, this was all Miss Banes fault! If she had just left well enough alone, Rupert would have been tossed into a safe jail cell for the night. The politician would not have been here in this sketchy part of town, with a bullet lodged in his frontal lobe. The memory made her shiver slightly. Shed served in the military straight out of high school before becoming a cop. Shed seen people die, shed pulled the trigger herself a couple of times. But it never got any easier. At the command to get into the car, Jessie hesitated. Was she really going to let herself get dragged into a vehicle by some crazy woman? A glance down the street and the memory of two other men that were also probably werewolves flashed through her mind. Yes, yes she really was going to get into a car with some crazy woman. Jessie ducked into the passenger side and buckled in. Knowing her luck, shed probably get thrown through the windshield and die in a car accident if she didnt. What the hell is going on?! Jessie asked as soon as they pulled away from the curb. For someone that had just seen a man turn into a creature of myth, Jessie seemed to be doing pretty well. She was more concerned with the fact that she had seen a man just get blown away on the sidewalk than that she had seen someone shift right before her eyes. Youare you one of them? She honestly couldnt tell. She knew what her parents smelled like, but other than that, she could not distinguish any sort of scents. She could get as far as knowing Miss Bane didnt smell entirely human, but for all Jessie knew, she could be a vampire, demon, or some sort of halfling.
