Thread: The break-in (Nyoko-Padinfain)

Ross wasn't even really paying attention to her. He was busy looking across the way, where he spied some men in dark uniforms on the other side of a divider. He couldn't see them past the top of their shoulders but he was almost positive they were cops. When he heard her speak he responded distractedly. Uh-huh, yeah, sure. He stood up a little in his seat trying to get a better look at the men at the other table without drawing too much attention and his quickly darting eyes thought they spotted a badge on the one guy's front pocket. He quickly sat down with a hiss, not seeing the odd look the passing waitress gave him and he hunched over the table speaking in hurried tones. Okay, you guys need to hurry up and finish! We've gotta go! Manta turned in his seat to look in that direction and saw the men who had apparently unnerved Ross. His eyes weren't affected by any stimulants so he saw what Ross didn't see--namely, what was really there. He sighed as he turned back around and shared a glance with Elle. We haven't finished our breakfast, he said, when mostly he was concerned about Elle eating. Just relax, boss. While Manta had been speaking, Ross had been biting his knuckle, his eyes never leaving the men across the room and his leg bouncing in place under the table. After Manta spoke he directed his attention at the large black man and in urgent tones said, We'll get a frigging doggy bag! We're leaving NOW! And he waited anxiously as a waitress brought a styrofoam container for their food and the two of them shoveled what they hadn't eaten into them. Ross kept looking over his shoulder at the men as he paid the bill at the counter up front, handing cash to the man behind the register. He only seemed to return to himself somewhat when they were back in the car and on the road. 15 minutes after the three had left, the two men at the other table walked up front to pay their breakfast bill. Both had on dark blue jumpsuits, like the kind a custodial worker might wear and one of the men had a rag stuffed into his breast pocket, a bit of the cloth hanging down from it. When they got to a hotel they parked out front and entered. It wasn't a big or fancy place but it wasn't sleezy either. Kind of small and with homey decorations. When they walked up to the counter Ross said to the person behind it, One room, please.

Elle was rather upset at Ross' jumpiness but she just went along with him. She decided to wait to finish her food until they got to the room, and hopefully she would get her own room. Elle stayed near Manta as they walked into the hotel. Sure Ross was being nicer to her, but Manta still had her well being in mind more. The hotel looked nice and she frowned when Ross requested one room, there at least better be two beds in it. She followed them back to the room, glad Ross didn't get some flea bag motel. She could survive staying her, but she desperately wanted to go back to her house. So much of her stuff was there. She had to leave everything behind because of him, and that kinda upset her. She would have to demand him to take her back, the cops had no right to go through her house.

When they got to the room, Ross hustled them both inside, before shutting the door and closing the curtains. It was pretty generic, with two large beds, covered in dull colored flower prints, a night table between them with a telephone and lamp on it. A dresser and a small 20 TV on a stand, and a table with two chairs over in one corner. Further into the room was a closet opposite the bathroom. Walking into the room, Ross sat down on one of the beds and cradled his head in his hands. He sat like that for the longest time, then looked up at the other two wearily. I think... he said pausing, looking drawn and haggard. ...I think I need to lie down for a while... His voice was slow and heavy with fatigue. The coffee and the drugs were no longer keeping him running and it had been a while since he'd slept very well, let alone slept at all. Manta came towards the bed, to stand next to the shorter man. You go on a take a rest, boss, he said in that deep rumbling voice. We're just waiting now, anyways. You go ahead and rest. Ross looked around, like he still couldn't decide, his mind full of cotton, but not wanting to give in to sleep yet. Don't... he said whispering, looking up at the large black man. Don't...let her leave... He glanced behind Manta at Elle and then back up at the other man. I've got it under control, boss, he said nodding. That seemed to decide him and Ross nodded wearily, then took off his shirt and climbed onto the bed. He tried to take his boots off from a prone position, but didn't have much luck before Manta stepped forward and helped him. Even before his second boot came off, Ros was lying on the pillow passed out. Shaking his head and thinking the man was going to kill himself one day, Manta sighed and turned back to Elle. You want to finish your breakfast? he asked in a deep whisper. He couldn't baby Ross too much when the man tried to kill himself with drugs or poor diet and lack of sleep, but he could look after Elle and make sure she didn't suffer needlessly.

Elle was a bit worried about Ross now that she watched him sleep. He might hurt himself with his lifestyle, and that was one of the main reasons she had worked to avoid getting addicted. The feelings of her last highs were still fresh in her mind. She really hoped Ross wouldn't kill himself, not that she cared that much about him, but she worried about his well being. Plus if he was gone she was caught in quite a mess. She looked to Manta when he spoke, and gave a nod, sitting down at the table with Manta. She grabbed her styrofoam container and opened it up, frowning slightly, the syrup had made the toast all soggy. She closed the lid and leaned back in her chair, looking at Manta. She glanced over at Ross for a moment, to make sure he wasn't awake, Manta, can... can you take me back to my house? She dared to ask, hopefully she could negotiate with him, I have no clothes, no nothing, and I need to live off stuff. Ross is dead to the world, and I wont run off. She looked at him with desperate eyes, I'm having a hard enough time leaving my house, can't I just grab some things?

Manta opened his own container of food and took out some bacon and bit into it as she spoke. Then he was somewhat choking on it, and coughed a little to clear his throat as he looked at her surprised. Then he shook his head and looked back down at his meal. Uh-uh, he said, chewing a mouthful and swallowing. No way. Ross won't like that. We abandoned the house for a reason, because the cops have their attention on it. He shook his head, taking up some scrambled eggs with his fingers, wiping them on a napkin and swallowing before he spoke again. It's too risky. Then he settled down to finishing the rest of his breakfast, which had been scrambled eggs with sausage and bacon and toast. As he lifted another bit of egg to his mouth, he paused and looked at the duffle bag on the floor, the one he had packed for her. He knew exactly what was in there he'd opened the top drawer of her dresser and took out all the underwear and bras he could grab in one bear paw sized hand then he'd opened the next drawer and gotten out three pairs of pants. That was it. That was all he'd had time to grab before Ross had shoved them from the room. Granted, she might be able to wear her shirt for a long time, but she probably wouldn't like that very much. He sighed and tossed the eggs in his hand back into the container, shaking it off his hand before wiping it with a napkin. Then he looked at Elle. If Ross wakes up before we get back, he's gonna kill me, he said, giving her a resigned look. Then he was up and going over to the small nightstand where Ross had placed the car keys. He glanced at the man asleep on the bed, but he didn't even move, completely dead to the world. In fact, he could have been mistaken for dead, if Manta didn't hear the slight intake and exhale of his breath. As he walked back over to the door, he said, Grab the bag, pointing to the half-packed duffle on the floor and opening the door for her. When she walked through, Manta took one last look at Ross, and sighed again before following her to the car. The drive to her house didn't take as long as driving to the warehouse did but it was still a pretty good distance. When they got there, Manta parked on the street out front and turned to her. Now you be quick about it, he said, glancing out the windows alertly. I'll be right here waiting when you get back. 15 minutes and I'm coming in to look for you, okay? His voice wasn't of distrust but of anxiety of getting back before Ross woke up to find them missing. The man would have a paranoid fit if that happened.

Elle had the half empty bag on her shoulder and leaned against the drivers side door, I will, don't worry. I'll be back in ten. She said with a smile and crossed the street. She was very surprised Manta brought her here, he was loyal to Ross, but had a soft spot for her. She opened the door and stepped inside, everything had looked how they left it. So hopefully no cops had come to her house yet. She headed up the steps and straight to her bedroom. For a moment she paused, staring at her room, thinking about how it had been her prison for those few days. She could just end this, call the cops, tell them where Ross was and say her and Manta had no part in it. She was a prisoner after all. Those thoughts ran through her head as she stuffed shirts and pants into her bag. The only thing stopping her from picking up a phone and calling was Manta, he trusted her and who knew what kind of trouble he would be in if she betrayed them. She grumbled to herself and grabbed a few other things, a brush, toothbrush, tooth paste, deodorant, and few other necessities. She also grabbed a few picture frames and other valuables, because she had no idea when Ross would let her go. After everything was stuffed into her duffel bag she headed back downstairs. She resisted the urge to use the phone again and opened the front door.

Outside, Manta and the car are gone and there is no sign of them on the street. Parked by the curb is a dark car and standing on the steps to her house is a man. Clean shaven and with close-cropped hair, he blinks in surprise as she opens the door. He's dressed in suit and tie and there is a gun holster at his belt. He smiles at her and takes off his sunglasses revealing sharp blue eyes. Good afternoon, he says in a familiar baritone. You're Elle, I presume? My name is Detective Whitemore, he flashed his badge at her before returning it to the clip at his belt. We spoke on the phone last night, if you remember? He put his hands in his pockets and smiled charmingly at her. If I could just ask you a few questions? Do you know a man named Ross Stiller, by any chance? His face was friendly, but his eyes were piercing in their gaze, almost suspicious but watching her every facial expression and analyzing it. I believe he's been into some illegal activity recently and the police department has been looking for him. If you have any information that might shed light on his whereabouts...? Detective Whitemore's appearance

Elle stood motionless for a moment, her bag slung over her shoulder. She tried not to show her panic on her face, he would read that for sure. Yes, I remember you from last night. She gave a small smile to hide her panicking eyes. She had to think and quickly, because either way this could end badly for her. You can ask me a few questions, though I am going out of town for a little while. She knew he was studying her for any ounce of fear or guilt, and she had to fight that. She could just turn them all in, right here, and end her nightmare. Still every instinct was telling her to not give in, Ross would kill her for sure, if he ever got the chance. She wanted to turn in Ross, but just couldn't bring herself to do it. For her sake, and even Mantas, she would keep up her appearance and just hope someone rescued her. Manta wouldn't leave her behind.... she hoped. Would you like to have a seat? She asked, gesturing to the porch swing.

Detective Whitemore didn't see everything that went on behind her eyes and smile, but he did get a bad feeling from the way she was acting. Something was not right... But he hid his own emotions well and smiled charmingly at her as she offered him the seat. Oh, well, yes, thank you, he said and took a seat on the swing on the porch. Lovely neighborhood. He commented with a smile, his blue eyes looking around kindly. Where are you going, if I might ask? Is there any way I could reach you if I have any more questions? He straightened his jacket as he sat and although friendly and open, his face held a stern seriousness to it. Well, I'll try not to take up too much of your time. I'm sure you've got a plane or a bus to catch. He was basically fishing for information without appearing to do so, and looked down casually as he took a pen and small noptepad from his pocket. Languidly he flipped through the pages to a blank one and looked up at her, that smile flashing again before the seriousness was back. Have you ever met a man named Ross Stiller? Do you know where I might find him? Has he been in this house? The only reason I am here is because last night several phone calls were made to different prisons where some of his men, who were recently arrested were staying. The exact nature of the calls is unknown, but I believe they were to call in hits on his men who are now witnesses in the case against him. Those phone calls were made from this house. He paused and looked at her levelly. He's a suspect in connection with a major drug ring and it would be very important for you to be truthful with me, if you have any information concerning this man. He's dangerous and paranoid and will eventually kill anyone he's associated with. The woman didn't look like a druggy, but he had faint suspicions that she was associated with Ross in some way. But still, he was just fishing, watching her closely and seeing how she reacted. He didn't notice the car that drove by on the street after he'd asked his questions, nor the tall burly black man behind the wheel. Manta looked out the windows, making sure Elle saw him and drove to the end of the block, where he parked, within sight of the house. He knew the man on the porch with her, a certain detective that had been hounding Ross and him for 5 years. The man was very perceptive and had made several good cases against Ross, but they'd always gotten away. Manta watched from the rearview mirror and prayed that Elle didn't give them up. But more importantly, that Detective Whitemore wouldn't figure out she was connected with Ross.

Elle gave a small smile, and looked like she was in thought for a moment. The idea of what to say to him struck her suddenly and she looked at the detective. Well, last night a few of my cousin's friends came over, because they knew my aunt as well, from back when they all used to hang out at his house of course. We played poker, had a fun time He could have been one of them... I made the mistake of letting them use my phone while I was out of the house. They told me they were going to call my cousin and speak with him about her death, she was pretty important to him. She knew this story wouldn't hold up as soon as he checked for her cousin to be in prison. I wish I could tell you more about this Ross guy, but I'm afraid none of them went by that name. She looked completely honest, and hopefully if he didn't research her too much she would get by with this lie. Then she saw Manta, her eyes flickered for only a second and she felt so relieved. Now to just ditch the cop and she would be able to get out of this mess. I'm sorry I can't be of more help detective, but I'm going on a cruise, and sadly no phone service, but as soon as I get back we will try and identify these men. She started down the steps, I must catch my plane though. She hoped he would just let her go.

Now he knew she was involved. He didn't know anything about heryet, but he could smell the lie as if it was an odor saturating the air around him. He had nothing to call her on it though and no reason to keep her here any longer, especially if she was going to lie and he couldn't prove it. But he would look into her family history and call these people, these cousins and he scribbled it all down in his notebook, nodding his head to himself. He looked at her seriously as he tucked his pen and notepad away, then let the smile creep back. There was a knowing look in his eyes as he watched her. Thank you for your time. I'll check up on your story if you don't mind. And I hope you have a fun time on your cruise. Then he was standing up and nodding to her politely and walking down the steps to his car, putting his sunglasses on before he opened the driver's side door and got in. He gave her a small wave and smile before pulling away from the curb and driving away. He would get to the bottom of this and drag Elle down with Ross when he caught him. She'd just lied to an officer of the law afterall. One thing he knew for certain, was that she wasn't going on a cruise, based on just the one duffle bag but he was going to be calling airlines and watching just in case.

Elle smiled still, having no idea he could tell her lie, but that didn't matter. She just had to get out of here, because he would find out her lie easy enough. She would have to tell Ross about this, maybe he could, protect her. Now she was thinking crazy, going to the man who brought her into this, for help. She waved back to him and watched him drive off. She didn't go to Manta's car until she was sure he was out of site. She hurried into the passenger seat, shoved her duffel bag into the back and collapsed into her seat. She got herself in a real mess now. I blew it Manta... She sighed and leaned back in her seat, I'm a terrible liar.... and now once he finds out the story I told him was fake he will think I'm working for Ross too! She looked over at him, What have I gotten myself into?
Thread: The break-in (Nyoko-Padinfain)

Manta watched anxiously and breathed a small sigh of relief as the detective got in his car and drove away. Then he waited for Elle, his mind running a mile a minute wondering what she could have possibly have said to make him go away. When she got in the car, he looked at her silently, until she'd finished speaking. I won't lie to you, he said in a resigned tone. It's bad if he's on the trail. It can't be helped. Anyone is made into a bad liar when faced with that detective. Besides, he said smiling at her a little. Of course he'll think that. Because you ARE with us. The grin he gave her was slightly apologetic but he also shrugged saying It is what it is with the gesture. As he pulled away from the curb and started to drive back to the hotel, he spoke to her while looking at the road. I need to tell Ross, he glanced at her and knew what she was thinking. I know, he'll be super paranoid. But he's gotta know that Whitemore is back and after him again. Back at the hotel room, Ross was still asleep, but considering they'd only been gone an hour, that wasn't very surprising. The man had barely moved since they'd left and continued to sleep for several hours more. Around lunch time, Manta went out to get something for them to eat since the hotel didn't offer room service. He nodded at Elle and gave Ross a glance before leaving the room, basically saying keep an eye on him and trusting her not to leave while he was gone. She'd already more than proven herself earlier and he fully trusted her to stay. While he was gone Ross woke up, his face drawn and weary still and looked around the room with a frown, like he didn't remember where he was. His eyes fell on Elle and recognition bloomed in his eyes, but then he squinted a little. Where's Manta? he asked in a scratchy just-woken-up voice. He rubbed his head and continued to lay there, not yet ready to get up.

Elle was pretty bored, and watched a little tv at low volume. Just about when she was getting hungry Manta said he would go out for food. She just asked for a cheeseburger and watched him leave. Of course she wouldn't leave now, she wondered if this made her a criminal now. Ross stirred on the bed and she looked over at him, He went to get lunch. She said, still lounging on the other bed and watching animal planet. You okay? She asked. He looked like a mess, either it was from the drugs or him just waking up. Her worry for him surprised her a bit, but she would have to like Ross sooner or later. Manta was her security for sure, but Ross, who knew what he would do to her next. Elle stood up and walked to the bathroom. She returned with a cup of water and set it on the desk next to Ross. Here, this might help... She shrugged and laid back on her bed watching tv.

Elle had regretted telling Ross about her experience with the detective and now her lie seemed so silly she wasn't sure why she had said it in the first place. When he was on her with questions she answered them of course. She quickly explained what she had told the detective, her eyes a bit wide with fear as she spoke. She was half scared he would hit her for leaving the hotel. Your lucky I was able to act cooly. I was so nervous and barely able to keep myself from telling him where you were dead to the world. She had given up a lot to protect him and didn't really want to get into trouble for that. I'm sorry I'm a terribly liar, I'm new at this criminal stuff.... She gave a sigh and moved away from him, towards Manta. She knew Ross would be pissed, but as long as he didn't take it out on her she was fine.
