Ch.49 SWATted (Tom, Isamu, Sierra & Sasha)

[dakota]

As Tom and Avi head for the next roof, Ryne looks at Sierra and smirks," Just you and I, little lady. Let's make tracks before the SWAT can regroup."

[shiivster]

*Sierra looks at Ryne .. lost track of the chicks i squished. i was 8 when it happened. lets go ... after you'

*that's the end of the conversation as far as she wants it to be. she backs up a couple steps and once he's committed to the running jump, she'll follow.

[jeflint]

Sasha nodded. "Alright those of you who want a taxi; let us know when you'd like us to call it. Those others of you who are confident in your own safety; just remember Cops really don't like DWIs." She smiles politely at the younger crowd and turns back to Mario with a smug look on her face.

[Dome]

Isamu nods at Dimitri and says, "open the portal. We must hurry."

Isamu leads everyone through the portal and then waits for Kristian to lead them towards the restaurant.

[dakota]

" Who's driving?" One of the younger crowd answered and the bunch burst out laughing. Several of the older patrons approached the bar to get mario to call taxis for them. Meanwhile, on the TV over the bar, a breaking news ticker appeared about a manhunt underway for a man that had murdered three federal agents in Atlanta and fled to Miami. Details on the news at the top of the hour.

* * * * *

Ryne looked at Sierra before he leapt to the nearest roof , but he misjudged his distance. The big man slammed into the edge, knocking brickwork and mortar loose as he struggled to hold on.

* * * * *

Dmitri opened the portal, and once through, they found themselves acrossed the street for Sasha's bar. Kristian pointed," That's the place, mon." He told Isamu.

[Dome]

Isamu nods and taps his com unit, "Avery, Sierra, Tom, we are at Sasha's bar, what is your current location relative to ours?"

[jeflint]

Sasha points to the tv while looking at the younger crowd. "That's why I suggest the Taxi," she says.

"Did they escape?" Sasha wonders. "It's hard giving up the excitement of being a cop and just sitting on the side lines. Maybe I should ask Avi to get one of those band aid radio's they're all using."

[shiivster]

*Sierra landed nearby but stops after two steps and returns and says nothing as she grabs a hold of his arm and comments quietly 'not on my watch your not .. up we come'

*the truth exposes itself as she lifts him back to the roof level. without strain and sets him nearby and they back away.

'close but luckily it didn't happen ... maybe one day i'll tell you how it happened. lets go catch up .. k?'

[dakota]

With Sierra's help Ryne scrambled up the side of the building to safety. He looked at her, a brow raised," Thanks. You didn't have to copy me to do that, did you?"

* * * * *

Mario overheard Sasha's wondering out loud," Then maybe you shouldn't be such a wallflower and could have helped your friends get away." He mused, sticking his tongue out at her childishly as he retrieved a phonebook.

* * * * *

All four of Isamu's team heard Avi's reply. Ashley looked at Is," sounds like those two are okay, we better help Sierra and Ryne."

[jeflint]

Sasha catches Mario with a glare for several long seconds. "And what would you suggest I do? Put everyone here in danger?"

[shiivster]

' .. no sir. i learned how to control the amount of pressure. took a while, one reason i don't touch people but there's another reason too. another time i'll tell everyone how it happened ... maybe'

*she pats Ryne on the shoulder and motions for him to continue, looks back once and then continues tagging along in case they need to hop another building or three

[Dome]

Isamu says, "I agree Ashley, let us move quickly." He leads the group towards the possible location of Sierra and Ryne.

[dakota]

" Oh come on, Sasha. You can do better than that. We both know you'd sooner be out there helping than stuck in here." He chuckled. " Buy yourself some spandex and a mask, it always works in the movies. Besides, I heard how that Avi guy was drooling over you. That would do you some good too."

* * * * *

Ryne looked at Sieera for a moment, then nodded. " Good enough. We'll keep this between us for now, but you should trust your teammates enough to tell them." With Avi and Tom well out of sight now, Ryne leapt to the top of a stripmall with ease this time. Si could tell something wasn't right with Ryne reaction when he landed. Before she could leap, he turned to wave her off, but before he could, he disappeared with a crash as the roof gave away.

* * * * *

Isamu as his group were closing on where they thought Sierra and Ryne were when they rounded a corner straight into a squad of SWAT officers, who spun and leveled their rifles, " Don't move! This area is under lockdown!"

[jeflint]

"I did wear a costume," Sasha responded. "It was a police officers uniform." She frowns and shakes her head. "As if I have the figure to wear spandex. I'm not an actress nor am I a super model." She leans against the bar thinking. "Yes well I do wish I could do more; but right now I'd only cause more trouble then I'm worth. We'll need to pick up more camera's though."

[dakota]

" Stop being modest, Sasha, and you know what I meant. Your training should have left you with a sense of right and wrong, and you've got the abilities to do something about it." He smirked playfully," I think you're just afraid you'd enjoy coming out of retirement."

When a customer came to the bar, Mario changed the subject as he poured another draught," I'll call in the morning to the security company to come by."
