The Escape [edit] [delete] Admin
Status: Cyon Rosche: 0 Physical, 0 Stun, 1 Icon Maynard Evers: 2 Physical, 0 Stun Veronica Alder: 0 Physical, 3 Stun As Veronica jumps onto the bike behind Maynard, the two pull off. Despite the thick traffic, they make excellent time along the sidewalk, much to the chagrin of two gentlemen who are forced to leap out of the way, one into the street and the other through a plate glass window. The two shot up bouncers stand as soon as the hail of fire ceases, but their foot chase comes to a rapid halt as one colapses and the other stops to offer assistance. It would seem our heroes have made a clean escape.
The Ride [edit] [delete] Veronica Alder
With effort, Veronica manages to holster her guns while driving, holding onto Maynard with both hands once more so as to avoid being left behind. "Cyon, what's your status? We're in the process of evac; you can pull out. We need a a clean rondezvous point; Maynard seems to be losing blood, but I should be fine."
Cyon's Response [edit] [delete] Cyon
"I'm fine, I will pull out of the green bat, but stay on the matrix until you are both safe. You can come back to my house, but I don't have a first aid kit of any form that would be of use to you. So it may be that we should meet somewhere else. I don't think we need to worry about being followed just now, so maybe one of your houses?"
... [edit] [delete] Maynard Evers (Hunk)
"I have a Medkit in my truck...tell Cyon to meet us at Rasputin's garage. You remember where it is, right?"
Meeting [edit] [delete] Cyon
"I will meet you there if you want, or do you want to come back here once you get it?"
I suppose that's fine, [edit] [delete] Veronica Alder
"I'm sorry, Cyon, you're breaking up; repeat that, please? Wherever we go we should stay there, to reduce the risk of increased injury...My house is out, passing bloody through the lobby would raise too many questions....Let's meet at Maynard's."
Ok [edit] [delete] Cyon
"I will meet you at Maynards. Congratulations!"
Right... [edit] [delete] Veronica Alder
"We'll meet you there, then. Maynard, are you still alright?" Veronica sighs as her wounds begin to cramp, waiting anxiously for the end of this trip.
Arrival [edit] [delete] Admin
At the point that you wish, Maynard, post arrival with a description of the destination.
The arrival [edit] [delete] Maynard Evers (Hunk)
** EDITED September 22, 2001, 2:22 am ** Belltown is very calm at this time of night, except on Fridays, since almost everyone has to get up for work early in the morning. Maynard is rather pale and sweating profusely by the time they arrive. He leans off the bike and lowers himself onto the sidewalk into a sitting position, then lays back fully. After a minute or so he gets slowly back up to his feet muttering a string of filthy words. "Let's go up...you're hurt too, aren't you?"
I've felt better. [edit] [delete] Veronica Alder
"I've certainly been better, but I should be alright. Come on, we better get upstairs. Veronica staggers until the building with Maynard, talking again to Cyon. "Alright, we're here. Shortly we should be inside and can assess everything more clearly. See you soon?" Fortunately for the sake of their radio communication, the transducer is unaffected by the injuries, and her voice seems as it always does, not betraying the signs of injury.
Cyon's Arrival [edit] [delete] Cyon
Cyon logs out of the matrix and quickly gathers his things. He arms himself as he usually does, and grabs his cell phone, the one that was being forwarded into the matrix. He calls a taxi from his house, then immediately goes outside to wait. Not long after the taxi arrives and Cyon leaves on his way to Maynard's house. Cyon receives Veronica's call, but as the phone he is on doesn't have any form of encryption, cannot respond. However, he is almost to Maynard's so hopefully it will not cause any worry.
Actually. [edit] [delete] Veronica Alder
(OOC: Actually, without encryption you wouldn't be receiving it, either, at least, not as anything more than encypted data.) Veronica struggles to help Maynard inside, looking around the interior for the apartment for someplace to rest, staring anxiously at the timestamp in the corner of her eye as she awaits Cyon's arrival.
The apartment... [edit] [delete] Maynard Evers (Hunk)
Besides being rather smallish, it's not a bad place. Brown carpet, faded white walls, a living room, kitchen/dining room, bathroom and bedroom. As for someplace to rest, you have a choice of two over-stuffed recliners, a couch, Maynard's bed, or at the kitchen table. Maynard stumbles into the bathroom and removes his jacket and vest, dropping them on the floor. He splashes some cold water on his face and chest and examines the wounds.
The Injuries [edit] [delete] Admin
The bullets don't appear to have gone completely through the vest, and in fact were pulled away with it, as evidenced by the holes in Maynard's chest, from which blood has now begun to run once more. Veronica on the other hand doesn't appear to be bleeding badly at all, the blows having been glancing for the most part, two of the three rounds not even having lodged at all, but instead flying free in the club.
Recovery [edit] [delete] Veronica Alder
Veronica removes her coat and lays it upon the table, then moves into the kitchen where she uses several paper towels to bind the wounds on her thigh and shoulder in an ad hoc manner, but is forced to wait for assistance upon the last. While not severe, having a bullet lodged in the back of one's shoulder can be a challenge to remove. She calls to Maynard, "Maynard, are you alright? I need that first aid kit of yours. I hope Cyon gets here soon, my back is killing me."
