Ashley and Micheal come up behind Maria, ahsley kicking a can by accident. "What do you have?" she asks. "I can't see Felicia anywhere. I don't even know if they're still here."
---
William is forced down onto the roof of a building across the street from the pizza place. A police helicopter making rounds flashes its spotlight around william as he hides under the eave of an airvent. "This is getting annoying. I'm going to have to have a talk with Felicia when I get back." William mumbles under his head.

*takes a few deep breathes .. andthen whispers 'oh jeez .. you scared me .. well this is the entrance grill to the tunnels. i think the owner knew about the tunnels, but hasn't used them for anything. its unlocked, but i'm not sure where it goes .. or how clear it is .. anyone got a light? .. i can't see in the dark.'
*eyes turning to the grill and the dark pit beyond it* 'remember, you wanted a closer look at the building, this will take you to the basement .. opens into a storage room .. or did'

From his vantage point, will spots Felicia arrive with someone else. her companion sits down with a woman while she sits a ways away, obviosly on lookout.
[OOc- if Will is going down to the restuant, switch to the other active chapter]
[Sparks]
Ashley pulls out a small penlight and shines it around the dusty storeroom. " Keep an eye out in case we're not the only ones in here. Lead the way, we gotta find out what this was all about."

William spends a moment, wondering just how good Michael's powers are. Come on, Michael, pizza place. Pizza place. he repeats in his mind for a few minutes. After that, he does indeed, move to the other chapter.

*nods, and then taking the mini flashlight, slips over the lip of the small shaft that leads to the 'bootleggers' tunnel system. taking a deep breath, jumps and drops down into the murkiness below and hopes that NO one is down there .. and then looks both ways with the light
*prepared for the worst .. she see's ...

Much to her surprise, the tunnel is empty, though it looks to have been used recently. further down, part of the tunnel is collapsed and something is sticking through the hole. Closer inspection with the light reveals a truck's rear tires sticking down from above. As they approach, muffled voices from above near the truck can be heard but not made out.

*thinks ....o0( yikes ... back up the roof's caving in from above ... ) *then follows her own instructions .. and backtracks to the opening .. and looks up and wonders how to get up?
*bending the knees and hoping her legs are still strong enough to give her the height needed to grasp the lip, turns the flashlight off and then trusts her own instincts to get the bottom lip of the shaft. once it's in hand [we hope, will have to roll once i'm at home], will turn about, and then using the upper body strength along with the muscles of the belly, tucks the feet up into the shaft and proceeds to crab walk her way up to the top of the shaft and over the top lip and to safety*
*whispers urgently 'we gotta get the grate in place. a truck is starting to fall in back end first, the tunnels where used not that long ago, but if the street is caving it in, its a lost cause. there goes another hiding spot of mine .. jeez' .. *then once its in place, shines the flashlight about tofind the old padlock that was once on it, then grins impishly at the other two 'i .. uhh .. needed something to do one day during a blizzard?'

A blizzard? In Miami? gimme a break Michael's voice popped into Sparks mind. Ashley rolled her eyes at the same time, but didn't take the bait. " Okay, then let's find another way. There must be more of these tunnels down ... " she stepped forward and snatched the light from Spark's hand as another light flickered at the other end of the tunnel
" Who's there?" Demanded a harsh voice.

*leans down the shaft, and uses her position at the top to pull the other two up .. then drops a few marbles down on to the shaft floor. then in the second wave, sends on down that has a mild charge on a delay switch .. and uses the timing of the explosion to get the grate in place and seals the lock in place.
then the minor explosion shakes [ 5 on 2d6 *sigh*] the ground, and grabbing at the others by the hand or sleeve, takes off running for the entrance to the building and then moves to the farside. "in case the cops are outside that one, this one's clear" *then slips out into an alley near the fire escape leading to the second and third floors of a smaller tenemant building
'up there, lets go. the roof has a catwalk board to get to the next building by the chimney .. it was there last week when i went thru here. and its a senior's building, so they dont come up often.

The blast caused some panicked shouts, but no one followed as they made their escape. As they head up the fire escape, they can hear several vehicles departing. ashley pauses, listening. " I'd say they've moved on. Probly left a guard or two until the cops finish their investigation, but I'd guess we won't find out anything now."

'so .. now where too?' *once gaining the roof and looking about carefully for the board on this side of the alley*
*looks about and sighs* 'this is where i hid when i fist changed. slept over there in the dark corner, didn't have any other place to go. people took one look at me, and would leave the area real fast. like they could catch whatever made me this way' ... *then moves to the dark corner* ... 'yup .. my tiny crib is still there, but its a home for the rats now i think' ... *then backs away and waits* ... 'the next block then? .. that building is almost lost in the honeycombs of alleys .. gimme a clue where you wanna go, and i'll get you there'
*then stretches and brushes off the dust and debris from the clothes, before moving to get her board* 'just one person at a time then .. i'll even go last, or would you rather me second, so i can't jack either of you about?'

" Calm down a bit, no one thinks you're gonna jack anyone." Ashley shook her head." I think our best bet is to head back to meet the others. The cops and those other guys will have any clues either collected or trampled by now."
Ashley led the way back to the car, trying to make conversation without much luck when she stopped and smelled the air. " Something's not right."
Someone's here Michael's voice popped into Sparks mind.

*gives the impression of tripping on a shoelace, so that in the process of tying it up, she can scan the alley. [will roll at home and post here later]
*hoping that she see's no Brethren cronies, loosens the sleeve holding the slingshot, so its easy to get too in the case of inst-boom is needed.
-= act cool, don't let them see you panic. could be just a 'turf' issue and parking on the wrong block =- to michael.
*then stands up* ... 'man, i need better sneakers. the laces always come loose. so, where's the party at tonight?' *making light conversation as a distraction to peer about from under the loose hair. eyes scanning while waiting for a clue of where the 'watchers' are hiding or how to go from the alley to the car and out of there*

A man dressed in a suit steps from the shadows near the car. " Evening folks. My name is Agent Kilner. I have a few questions as to why three obvious metas would be snooping around a crime scene, especially one involving other metas. Prehaps you'd like to enlighten me."
Ashley began to make an inhuman growl, behind Sparks giving the impression she was bordering on losing control. michael's nervous popped in her head You better do something, I think she's gonna lose it .

*does the first thing that comes to mind .. points behind the guy .. and screams in absolute fear .. as if something big huge and hairy is gonna eat him from behind .. "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH ... LOOK OUT !!!!!! " .. then when he does the ever so little shift to look behind .. throws a handful of charged marbles into the air, so that they land and pepper the area between him and us .. while backing up and pushing ashley away .. -= oh god .. RUN .. get her away .. he'll go after me .. go to their place .. get her out of here, to safety =-
'go with him .. head home' *giving ashley a push to follow him, '' i'll survive .. go" .. *then runs off another direction, but stumbles, and makes it appear that i'm the less likely target to get away from the agent .. trying to lure him further away from the HQ and from ashley and michael themselves ..
*pauses, as if winded and looks behind to see if he's following me or them. the mind working frantically to figure out what to do and where to go, to avoid the man here and the brethren that want her for some reason. 'oh god .. who do i trust now? .. *then the eyes go round as she see's the agent closing in on her .. 'oh cra ...' *turning to run away .. moving faster now, zigging and zagging, looking for a spot to hide, as the mind suddenly draws a blank on where to go or hide .. and finds herself finally in another back alley ..
'oh crraa .. this is their turf .. ' *stopping and staring at the 'callsign' that marks the Brethren turf 'oh jeez .. i'm about .. * turns and starts backing away from the agent, going deeper into the alley and into the 'badzone'
'hey mister? .. want a bit of advice? .. go .. run away while you can .. or you're gonna wish you died before coming in here ..' *then stops, feeling a multitude of eyes on her back ..* 'cause you're in the heart of hades now mister .. and it's gonna get hot real fast, and i'm not gonna do anything' .. *then raises the hands to shoulder height*
