*stopping in the tracks suddenly, stares at the ladder up ahead, and the voices that drift down from it. ...o0(oh no .. not them ) *then backs up to a side tunnel .. and looks about trying to find the next tunnel or pipes that she can use.
...o0( on no, not teens, they think coming down here is a lark, but i really hope they change their minds .. i .. ) *then scrambles up and into a small cubby hole near the ceiling and then nearly screams as a small family of young rats start to move about behind and then over her, before dropping to the floor
...o0( i hate rats .. ) *terror almost making her scream out in fear as one of the vermin sniffs in her ear before moving on, then hears the whistle of police and the lid dropping into place and all the voices retreating and knows she's safe for a little longer, but only if she moves now*

Alice turns to Eric, a small smirk on her face as she asks "Am I the only one that's got a deja-vu feeling?" Silently she worries that since Jason hasn't returned, he won't know what's going on and hopes he'll be ok.
She puts the car in drive and starts out of the garage. Looking behind her, she can see Trevor following her. She notices in her rear view mirror that he signals to turn left, so she does the same. Exiting the garage, she drives wondering where they're going now.

Eric looks over to Al with a smile. She can tell he's excited to hopefully be in a car chase again.

William continues down the stairs, coughing with the others, looking older the closer to the outside he gets. Mixed among the crowd, he assess the scene.

Alice tries to scowl at Eric, but can't help but smile instead. "You're such a brat" she tells him in a tone of voice that lets him know she's just teasing.
Concentrating on driving, she adds "If either of you see Jason, let me know. I'll stop and let him into the car"

*sliding out of the cubby andthen near where the light from the lid is, steps about the light and then continues on the long and dreary way, hoping that the way there is fully clear until the small opening above the heating vent pipes.
*glad that she's alone down here, she wont have to give away all her tricks of survival. nearing the pipes, pauses to look back and freezes as she see's a pair of shoes starting down with a yellow stripe on the leg. ...o0( oh cripes ... cops .. move girl ). then within seconds, she's up on the pipes and slithering her way out of view, the feet vanishing before the flashlight passes underneath and the comments of "i thought i heard something down here .. must have been rats. heading up again"
*listening to the echo of the lid going back in place, stays where she is, then hears the faint click of metal on metal .. then a sneeze from someone behind her. then hears the two officers start talking as they start back and head up the ladder "no one here, lets go. there's that raid we have to check on" "yeah yeah .. i know. but i'm sure i heard something down here, but there's no tracks. we'll have to check these things more carefully" *then the voices vanish as they retreat and then the sound of two car doors closing give evidence that they've finally gone.
*refusing to sigh with relief, now starts the long journey on the pipes to safety. glad somehow that no one else was with her, since they would have said something or drawn attention to themselves.

The Chevelle in Alice's mirror flashed it's headlights twice before Trevor made a hard right turn at the next intersection. A pair of black Caprices turned to follow closely. As everyone watched behind them, an onrushing fire engine roared past, it's sirens wailing. A ladder truck followed closely behind. Michael leaned over the seat looking at Eric. It only works in line of sight, and I need to be fairly close popped into both minds.
only the squeaking of the rats filled the tunnels once more as Sparks waited to make sure the coast was clear before setting out again. After a few minutes, an uneasy feeling came over her, like she was being watched. A voice came lowly from behind her as a man dressed in the same uniform as Kilner the night before seemed to step out of the shadows. " You're good, I'll give you that. You would have made a good recruit if you weren't a wanted felon." He somehow walked straight through a pipe towards her. " now let's do this the easy way, shall we?"
The crowds of gawkers began to grow as the flames began to overtake the building. Emergency crews began to set up and attack the blaze, and Will recognized Atlas and one of his companions amongst the growing crowd of police. Neither looked happy, only to have matters made worse as a police officer handed over what looked like Will's passport. The crowd gasped as Atlas slugged the armored SWAT truck behind him, leaving a fist sized dent. At the same time, Will heard a snicker and he reconized Jason through the crowd, starting to back away.

Alice continues to drive, turning whenever Trevor gives her the signal too. She muses out loud "I wonder if Trevor is having us go where Sparks is going to." Alice watches the rear view mirror every minute or so to see if there is anyone, besides Trevor, following them.

*wonders how fast she can move along the pipe before she can cause it to blow behind her and get away. gulping back the fear that rapidly rises to fill the throat she continues to slither along and then pauses, acting as if she's stuck.
*instead .. she charges one of the bolts in a pipe joint, before slithering forward quickly, racing against the beating of her heart as she struggles to get clear. the inner fear amplifies the sizzling as it nears the extent of her concentration, then as she tumbles to the tunnel ahead, the resulting small explosion echoes behind her. [dam from 2d6 - 7 to the pipe joint, and maybe enough to slow the guy down or have the steam cover her escape ]
*then runs to the left, heading away from where she really wants to go. the light colored clothes seeming to scream 'here i am, come get me' seem to show up regardless of how much dirt is on them.
...o0( oh cripes .. i really hope he didn't get hurt .. i didn't want to hurt anyone, really i didn't ) *then bolts along the tunnel as the steam starts to exit the pipe area she just fled from.

Barely supressing a smirk at Atlas's reaction, William turned and walked away as well, mumbling about a loss of a day's work, and how that new mutant squad doesn't seem like a good idea, and how the old SCRET would have done better, poor souls. Basically old man"s mumbling against the new establishment.
Free of the crowds, William tries to track Jason down.

*moves off and then nearly stumbles and falls, and looking for the reason, realizes that her trip through the pipe area tore at the fabric and left her covered in dirt rust and some other stuff.
*moving to a small little used ladder, climbs up and pulls the feet up behind her to hide .. and hopes that the exit is unblocked and that maybe the story of getting help from bikers isn't that far fetched

Curses from behind her within the steam cloud echoed through the tunnel. " C'mon kid, don't make this so hard on yourself." He stepped into the open, obviously unsure where Sparks had gone. " I don't want to be down here as it is, so quit playing games before I lose my temper."
Despite attempts to prevent it from happening, Trevor's knowledge of the city proved better than Alice's and she lost sight of both the chevy and it's pursuers. Michael leaned forward again Now what?
Ducking through the crowds of rubberneckers, Will easily followed Jason as most were headed towards the raging inferno. He rounded a corner and as Will followed, he came face to face with Jason's outstretched hands, crackling with energy. He quickly lowered them quickly and glared at Will. " Sorry. What the heck happened back there?"

William smiles, and says in a calm voice to Jason. "I have a reputation to protect. I must be losing my touch if so few people remember me. We should get in touch with Tyler. He needs to find a new home."
Still smiling at Atlas's frustration, he starts walking along the streets, further away, looking old still. At the same time, he was pondering why he didn'T have them move when he first spotted that car following him. "If I had recalled how eaily frustrated Atlas was, I would have had everyone move out sooner." He says to Jason. "My passport really did a number, I think. They'll be hunting me 'til the day they die."

Alice sighs and curses under her breath. Part of her is mad at herself for losing Trever, and part of her is mad at Trevor for vanishing. She continues to drive while thinking to herself for a few minutes, and says "Well, we have two options," she starts "either we can continue to try and locate Trevor or we can try to find this address." She takes the paper Michael gave her and hands it to eric "and try to find sparks." She glances at Eric and then at Michael thorugh the rear view and asks "What do you guys think?'

"Well if we head to this address we might find Sparks and then from there look for the others. I say we give this a shot first." with that Eric puts the address into the Nav system and gets directions there.
