As Sierra leaves, she gets the impression someone is following her. Nothing obvious, and no metas in range, but still that feeling in the back of her mindwhen you think your being watched.
Alice found everyone fairly quickly, and they all gathered around the war room table. Jason , seated next to Alice, smirked," " The gang's all here. Do your thing."
Kristian looked around the room, concern hiding any pain. He turned to Isamu," where's Sierra?"

Before going inside, Isamu says, "I would not worry Ashley. Sierra seems to suffer from a lack of self-confidence and also maturity. In time I think she will grow and things will get better."
Once inside he sits quietly next to Ashley. In answer to Kristian he says, "I do not know. She was here with you when I went outside to join Ashley. I have not seen her since then."

Alice sighs quietly, but doesn't respond to Jason's comment. She explains the situation to everyone and says "So far the plan is to go to the club to see if we can find this Mako person, but we need a plan for when we get there. Any ideas?"

*Sierra worries for a bit, then seeing the club just ahead, crosses the street and gets to the steps leading up. she briefly wonders where the big guys out front might be and then tries the door.
if open, she'll slip inside. if locked, she'll knock athe door in case someone's inside and then go someplace else nearby to get some pop and wait till the doors open

As she neared the club, the sense of being alone became replaced with a sense of incoming attack as Sierra approached. Behind her came the squealing of tires. Several armed men leapt out, two of them firing what looked like a bundle of straps at her.
" Do we need any more than that?" Ashley asked. " We show up, we find Mako, we take him. No problem."
" If it was that easy, we'd already have this creep."Dmitri rerplied.
Jason muttered under his breath," This is gonna take forever at this rate."

Alice turns to Ashley and asks "And take him where? And do what exactly? And what if he takes off? Shouldn't we have some kind of idea of how we're going to react?" To Jason she says "You know, you could help instead of making snide comments."

*Sierra reacts with grace and a speed unrivaled from years of circus training and leaps and cartwheels to the side and then twists and starts backflipping out of the way.
*she barely avoids the mess of straps and the eyes narrow as she starts to back up. her eyes take in all the objects about her as she figures out angles on the run. 'she seems only to scratch at her chin, but her voice comes into the warroom clearly and for some reason its really calm as well.
'you know .. its gonna take more than the *insert number* of you and some freaky webbing straps to catch me. you're kinda slipping you know. i picked you up a while back. not as clever as you think' *she twists to the side and backflips again and lands in a three point landing the hand on the ground is on a manhold cover and her fingers go into the hole as she arms herself with something* 'nuh-uh-uh .. didn't say the word. all i wanted was to have a bit of fun. dancing .. drinking .. forgetting my boyfriend getting killed the other day ... and you freakoids gotta come in and spoil the mood .... '
*she reacts with a heave and twist and then hurls the cover into the back end of the van .. ' .. and now you've gone and ruined a perfectly designed dress for dancing in with your attempts to get me ... well *insert heavy clang and crumpling of metal sound here* .. i KNOW that you can't claim that for an accident insurance ... gotta run now ... '
*then she drops down the hole and lands carefully and then staggers off as she bounces backwards and hopes to get another way out .. her hand touching one of the tunnel walls and heads off her hand guiding her along the tunnels and relying on her talent of remaining uninjured to get to safety ..
*the rest of the transmition seems to crackle and break up as she moves underground. 'hope yo... ... ..ar me. i t... i di....ed th... v.. .....ide the club. i.. .... ... ....ers and ... ....ave n ..ue wh.. ..... ..m r...... ..ow'
*she can only hope that the others have enough clues to act, or she'll be fighting alone against a bunch of people that plan on hurting her for some strange reason.

Roll 1: 37/90. - backflip from first dodge
Roll 2: 57/90. - backflip to the manhole cover
Roll 3: Nat 15+1 - throw the manhole .. damage unknown
Roll 4: 80/53. - prowling the sewers - yakking when she should be putting distance between her and her pursuers ... [not the brightest bulb inthe factory, but she tries ... ]

Isamu grabs Ashley's hand and squeezes it hoping to help her keep controlled. "We must first identify him," he says. "I think we should not try and grab him in the club. The last time did not go so well. Perhaps once we identify him we can wait for him to leave the building and apprehend him then."

" Sorry." Jason apologized uncharacteristically. " Isamu's right. Best bet is to lure him somewheres we don't have to worry about collateral damage."
Ashley nodded to Isamu before answering Alice," Okay, so it needs a little work. But when we catch him, we lock him up downstairs until MacColter sends a recovery team to lug him off to whatever prison he sends people off to. But either I have to recognize him or Sierra feels him if she got enough of a read on him when K got butt munched. " She teased.
Kristian flipped her off, " Maybe next time we find out if sharks like the taste of bears with bugs."
Ashley's smirk faded quickly as she squeezed Isamu's hand tightly, her teeth grinding.
Everyone wearing their ban-adio picked up Sierra's garbled transmission.
Behind her, Sierra can hear people entering the tunnel. If she glances, she'll see it looks like the same men, but they are wearing skull like helmets, and some of them now carry automatic weapons. Their movements give away they are professionals.

Alice nods at Isamu. "Ok. We'll head to the club and try to ID the guy, and try to get him out in the open so we can grab him." A small smirk appears "Ashley, you said he tried to hit on you before, maybe he'll do the same tonight. Or he'll hit on one of us, and we can lure him into the open that way." Hearing Sierra's garbled transmission, she adds "And it looks like we need to head out there now, though I honestly have no idea what she said." Unless anyone else has any questions, she'll quickly head up to her room and change into something to wear to the club - a sparkly tank top and black form fitting jeans with cute sneakers she can run in if she needs to. She then heads back downstairs and waits for the others to get ready to go.

*Sierra can only hope that the bullets they carry wont hurt or distract her. she wants to go hand over hand along the overhead pipe to get away from the people looking for her.
*she tries to get away using he overhead pipes over the gooey liquid in the bottom of the pipe. 36/81 work rings and bars.
*she can only hope she reaches the far side of the gooey stuff before they spot her and shoot. she's close to tears while she fights the panic in herself. the last thing she wants to do is make a mistake by not remaining calm.

Behind her, Sierra can hear the distinctive sound of the strap gun being fired, but the odd projectile never reached her as she heard it smashing off the walls before splashing into the muck beneath her. A bright spotlight lit up the tunnel and a amplified voice boomed, " Stop right there freak, or we'll be forced to shoot you down." His threat was punctuated with the sound of safeties being turned off.
" Janie, I'll handle things here. You go with.." Jason said, much to her surprise. He wasn't waiting for an arguement as he started up the stairwell slowly. He met Alice on the stairs," Keep an eye on Janie, I'll see if I can trace Sierra's call."
Janie looked at Isamu and Ashley, taking Dmitri's hand," I gotta find something to wear." She grinned and towed Dim after her as they headed for the other stairs. Still sitting at the table, Avi and Kristian were having a serious discussion which ended with Kristian storming off as best as he could hobble. Avi scowled as he stood. " He's not ready, even if Sierra is in trouble."

Alice nods at Jason and continues heading downstairs, entering the kitchen, seeing Kristian storm off. Sighing, she nods at Avi and says "I'll go talk to him." Following Kristian, she says quietly "I understand you want to rush off and protect Sierra, but you're still hurt. You're only going to get yourself hurt even worse or killed. Imagine how guilty Sierra would feel if something like that happened. Stay here and let yourself heal, and when we all get back, you can do that manly 'comforting your woman' thing that all men seem to love doing." Expecting the inevitable 'What if it were Jason that was in trouble' argument from Kristian, she replies "Of course I'd want to go and help, but if i were as badly hurt as you were earlier, I'd be absolutely no good to him. And I also wouldn't want to endanger him further by not being fully ready to do what I needed to because I was hurt." Alice falls quiet and waits for Kristian to start disagreeing with her, and telepathically sends Avi a message 'If we have to, we'll lock him in a cell so he doesn't rush off and do something stupid while we're gone.'

*Sierra refuses to look back, but she pauses briefly. her eyes scan left and right as she looks for a way out of her predicament. seeing none and knowing that she'll probably cause more trouble anywhere she goes she grits her teeth and then is of once again.
*she starts moving along slowly at first, and then picks up speed as she moves rapidly along the pipe, refusing to yeild just now. reaching the end of the pipe, she dangles once again and then starts rocking back and forth, trying to get enough momentum built up to reach the platform just out of reach.
*she just hopes her decision isn't the wrong one. she refuses to yield. she chooses freedom over death.

Sierra could hear the rifles open up, and felt something thud against her back and shoulder, but none of them hurt. One of them shouted, " She's armored! Try something else!" A pop came behind her and a stinger grenade exploed below her, sending a wave of hard rubber balls in every direction. As soon as one went off, a second one exploded a little further past her.
(GM's OOC: not enough to hurt, but definitely distract. roll against work bars again for both grenades)
Kristian huffed and folded his arms. " I'll stay, but under protest. You'll let me know when she's okay, right?"
" Alice, we should get going." Avi called after Alice.
