Fifteen regular faces were around the room, but that wasn't what grabbed her attention. With enough time on SFPD, she had learned how to spot phony money.
* * * * *
Taipan smirked at Sierra," Little lady, Wraith is just part of the team. And we all do what city council says. and tonight we were told to apprehend an AWOL federal agent who murdered his own team, including Avi little buddy Kerry." It was clear Taipan was trying to goad Avi, who said nothing, because he was too busy grinding his teeth.
One of the others continued," Our names are Arc and Fusion. And neither of us have heard anything about some french doctor. How do you know about Bittainia?"

'oh trust me .. Wraith is not a part of the team. he's acting like that, but he's a lobo and will always be one. they're the dangerous ones in a group, cause they'll turn on you if you get in their way. he's got his own agenda, and i know you've been snatching people off the street or out of buildings for a while. look at how you tried that here'
'besides that, when it comes to Federal and Municipal jurisdictions .. Federal outranks, so if you'll excuse us .. YOU have no grounds for attempting to arrest either of us now. Britannia? .. heck .. i read the news and know she's escaped along with a few others. also know she's in town .. heck she might be on the street below for all i know .. chances are you wouldn't know her from a hole in the wall, but hey .. i don't know your walls ... '
*she takes a small step closer to Avi 'don't worry about them .. you got the boss on the phone yet? .. i'm sure he'll be interested in the latest developments here. being threatened with .. what was it again? .. arrest?
*she looks at the three men and continues ' legally, i don't think you have the right or the power to do that. so lets stop messing the pool up and butting heads against the glass and figure out the real picture. Wraith has his own agenda.. WE have an idea of it and have been victimized by him before for no other reason than he wants to be the only Meta in town. when kidnapping and torture didn't work with one, he arranges the kidnapping of a pregnant woman, allows some crazy doctor torture the woman and steal the baby .. gives the woman back to Wraith to play with and torture some more. we arrive and save her, but ruin his plans on killing the woman and after a while locate the baby and reunite it with the mom.
'now, his plans foiled there, he's best buddies with the Mayor now. who happens to be a Meta of some sort. who also stepped in after the Mayor was found murdered. who just happens to 'run' the council .. who happens to sign you're paychecks .. who happens to allow you to go out and bully Meta's and civilians that get in your way. hmmm .. you seeing a trend yet? Wraith uses people to play out his fantasies. right now, you are tools he's using, when you break or are useless, he'll lock you away or kill you. great retirement plan you guys have. too bad you guys got greedy. think on it, think it out yourself. its a perfect hostile take over plan when 'merger' won't work.
'Sir? .. can we go now? or do we have to stand here gabbing till the sun sets' *gives Avi a small look and hopes he's been talking to the boss while she was gabbing to the goons in suits.

Fifteen regular faces were around the room, but that wasn't what grabbed her attention. With enough time on SFPD, she had learned how to spot phony money. "Where did you get that money?" Sasha asked casually. "And please don't take it the wrong way; but you will need to turn that into the money into the police. It's counterfit." She turned to her bartender and indicated one of the counterfit pens they used. "See for yourself." Mentally Sasha was fuming; it'd gone a lot farther then just simply rivalry and petty crime. Now it was bordering on federal time when she caught up to these villains; and it was making Sasha see red. |

" Yes, but you don't seem to understand, girl." the one called Arc replied with a sadistic grin. Wraith handpicked us because we think alike. no need to try to call for help, we're blocking all radio frequencies."
Avi stopped tapping at his band-adio. " Okay Sierra, we're leaving."
" No, you can leave when we say you can." Arc grinned, his hand coming up.
" Si, look out!" Avi barked, grabbing at Sierra to pull her behind him as a bolt of lightning shot from Ar'c hand. Avi had turned, and Sierra could see him grimace and stagger as the bolt struck.
" What the hell you mean, it's funny money?" The old guy was ticked off as he looked at what Sasha had done. He slid off his stool. " the heck with the cops, I'm gonna go give that guy a piece of my mind."

"Sir," Sasha said trying to calm him down. "That's probably a bad idea; he's trying to get my bar closed because he's afraid of it. If you go and punch his clock he'll just send goons after you. It's better to just talk to the cops; counterfeiting is a federal crime."
"For a supposed genius I seem to cause more troubles then I solve," Sasha thought to herself.

*even as Avi grabs and pulls her, she's a little unbalanced. seeing him get hit by the lightning and stagger himself, she whispers 'stagger with me then go limp .. trust in me'
*her hands come up to try to support [but they guide the two of them closer to an edge.
'Hey! .. watch it Arc .. oh .. ohhh .. hey .. Avi? .. stop playing around Avi .. we're close to the edge' *she whispers 'in 10, then go limp and trust in me'
*to the three men on the roof 'assaulting a Federal Officer will land you behind bars. so cut it out and i won't have to file charges against all of you. keep back already .. his breathing is sounding funny, stay back. oh heck .. ohhhhnoooo .. '
*she times it so that as Avi sags against her, she stumbles backward and then seems to "fall off the edge". she spins and cradles him and lands on the ground, 3 or more stories, below. setting his feet under him she gets Avi vertical and supports him as they leave the building's perimeter 'can we go now? i'm tired of playing with them. i think i could have wished for wings there'

Avi was in pain as he replied, looking up at the drop Sierra had just breezed through. " YOu could have told me you could do that. Need some place to rest for a few minutes for my healing to kick in, he fried me good." Above, one person leaned over the edge, and another bolt of lightning slammed into ground aside the pair. " Get to the ..." he stopped as he looked at the car, with it's hood open and two flat tires," crap."
" Fine, you take it to the feds." The man said, handing over the bill. " I can't talk to them," he smirked, " Tax issues."
" Hey boss, you could have warned me you were some sort of crap magnet when you hired me." sasha's bartender laughed," I would have asked for more money."

'didn't know i could actually .. till i saw him do it. i just took a chance to get you out of the area .. so we'll come back for it later .. lets go .. this way'
*she sets his feet down but supports him under the arm and at the belt. 'i'll get us outta here .. you give me directions .. k? .. lets go ... '
*hauling him along she mimic's his healing ability. its still there, just he can't get to it. to the back alley she heads and out of sight. she carries him along and checks over the shoulder to make sure no one's following them and finds a dark doorway and tries the door.

" No, keep going Sierra." Avi said with a groan. " Sasha's bar is on the next block. She'll be able to help. We need a place to get under cover, they'll be following us."

"Well you could always try skimming of the top and hope I never find out," Sasha responded back taking the money. "I wasn't aware that by not being racist I was going to incur so many... problems." She turned back to the man. "I understand, what did you say he looked like?" |

'alright then .. hold on then .. its gonna get painful now. we gotta run and you're still a crispy critter. guide me then cause i ain't gonna hold back if they try again'
*she gets a better hold of him and heads off at a run know. Avi's feet are clear of the ground until they get to the street and she lets him have the dignity of walking across then they go up the next alley and out of view

" There, that's got to be it." Avi said as they neared a double door. Avi tried the latch, but it was locked. " Dammit. We can't just kick it in either."
"Nah, that's Nicky's gag, I've just been charging a cover fee when your not around." laughed the tender while the patron sighed. " Big guy, black hair. Wore a suit and sounded like them mob type on television."
" Sorry to interrupt, but you better look at this." The bartender turned a monitor to see a man and woman trying to get in the back door."
After a half dozen blocks, Ryne stopped Tom. " I don't like this idea of running, especially leaving others behind."

"You have got to be kidding me," Sasha said with a sigh. "Alright, I'll handle this," she said heading to the back door. "What I wouldn't give for my police issues," she mutters. |

Sierra tries the communicator. ~we're clear of the building. they're looking for us .. if you can hear this we are clear of them but they're looking. keep moving away, over .. ~
*she checks the back alley again and then sets Avi upright against the wall so he's mostly protected. "sorry, but if push comes to shove .. i shove back. i see them i'm running, and i'll lure them away. alright? you'll be fine, i sense one approaching .. '

Sierra could feel Sasha coming to the door.Avi nodded to Sierra," I just need fifteen minutes or so to concentrate and I'll be fine."
As Sasha looked out the peephole, she could see both of them in the alley.
