Just before savannah reached the door three men walked in, all wearing cloaks and full facial masks "You'll be coming with us, instead." One of the men, apparently the leader, said.
Em stayed silent, she only cared about getting Ari and Hammond out safe, not this strange guy. Looking past the men, she saw a glint of light, and what looking like a silhouette on the rooftops. She squinted her eyes, trying to make out what it was. Hmmm, it looks human. She thought. The thing that was glinting in the moonlight seemed to be blocking its face slightly.
Savannah's eyes once again grew steely as he glared at the men and passed Aricla to Hammond before opening his briefcase and producing his gun, which he held ready by its size.
"I am giving you one warning. Let us through or we will use force."
A shot rang out and a piece of the floor in front of Savannah exploded into splinters "So will we." the leader said, the smirk could be heard in his voice
Savannah decided caution was the best course of action for now. He replaced his pistol in his briefcase. He had the unpleasant sensation that he would be stuck with the others for some time yet.
Well, that's fun... if a bit cliched. And you wonder why there's only three of you?
"Very well," Hammond quickly abandoned the search for a way out, favouring a later escape instead, "We'll follow you. Lead the way." Besides... maybe this wouldn't end in something horrific? Who am I kidding, of course it will.
Aloran stood up from leaning against the wall, pulling Sav next to him so they both where infront of Em blocking, the goons line of sight to her.
"Masks, guns, bravado, Well you guys seem to be out to prove something. Well then as my friend said, lead the way," he said with an unimpressed look on his face.
Two of the men moved behind the group, giving them a friendly "nudge" as the elader exited the inn with the group in tow, before too long they reached an old warehouse that they were promptly shoved inside of, the door closing behind them. an intercom buzzed on the wall "Where is Kronos?" Queried a disembodied voice
Sorry for posting in the past here, but Kildorn's been bugging me about this.
On the way to the warehouse, it occurred to Savannah that he still had that egg. Producing it slowly so as not to alert their captors, he handed it to Hammond.
"Where. is. Kronos." He repeated, a growl was heard from somewhere in the back of the wherehouse "I suggest you hurry up and answer. my pet is rather hungry."
Em looked at the others, wondering if she should push her luck. Sure, I'd get a cheap laugh out of it, but then we might get eaten. No joke is worth that.
"The Kenroll Inn," Hammond lied, "You brought us all the way here just to find out he was exactly where you just left." He hoped he had been convincing enough. He doubted it though...
The scraping was heard once more "Do you honestly believe we didn't scope the place before we retrieved you? had Kronos been there that Inn would have been nothing but ash and broken glass"
Wait... He quickly pieced it together in his mind, the explosion, the voice, the threats... "So you were the ones behind his attempted assassination... You want to make sure he's dead this time?" He chuckled.
"Makes enough sense. It's a pity that we don't know. He ran away while we were otherwise preoccupied, haven't seen him since." He felt this lie was more solidly put together since it was all technically true. None of them knew whether he had stayed with Magnis at the original inn or whether he had run during the fight with the psionic.
A sigh was heard over the intercom "And I had hoped I wouldn't have to do th-- what the hell?" "MONKIES" yelled a new voice, and a man promptly came flying through the ceiling, then a couple more through the wall. a man with a shaved head and a wild gleam in his eye came in and looked around, cackled, then ran off, leaving one of the masked men standing alone, with five very angry people
