He couldn’t have gotten far. He was injured and on foot. Jason scanned the dark street, searching for clues. The closest street lamp was at the next intersection, but he dare not use his flashlight lest he give away his position. His night vision was good enough, better than most humans. There! He had almost missed it. Light from an apartment window reflected on a small pool of blood. He ran towards it, 9mm at the ready, his senses on full alert. Glancing quickly around he knelt by the blood. A trail led into an alley. It was pitch black. Just great. Jason reached out and touched the blood with two fingers. It was almost cold. Given the current temperature of the air, he couldn’t be too far behind. He closed his eyes and reached out with his other senses. He felt a presence nearby, but could not discern whether it was his quarry or someone in one of the apartments above. He tried using scent. He could smell sweat and leather from his own body. Beyond that he caught the scent of the blood and followed it. It went into the alley and- he had to hold his breath to stop himself from retching. Not twenty feet into the alley was a dumpster full of refuse. It masked the trail as well as any stream or river could. He mentally kicked himself for not having noticed it. This was why he hated cities. Dark, smelly and full of people. Standing, he knew that the only way to track him would be to follow the blood. He knew well that blood not only tells, but lies as well. Cautiously he entered the alleyway. He only hoped that his partner would be ready to provide backup should things turn sour. |

“Yo J-Man, what’s your twenty?” She cracked her gum and tapped her fingers irritably against the desk. She was getting bored. Van duty sucked. No response. Anyone else would have been concerned, but not Kelly. She simply rolled her eyes, and imagined Jason berating her. “Rule 38 Kelly. No communication during a chase-” “In case you give away your position.. Blah, blah.” She imitated a mouth talking with her hand. “I got it.” She cracked her gum again, tugged the end of her blonde braid and settled in for a long night. |

The night was unsettling. Wandering in a daze, his thoughts ran in circles. He was not supposed to see this well. Light wasn't supposed to hurt his eyes like this. Search lights, tracking and following him and burning his eyes, his skin. He had run, of course he had, what else could he do? He tried to think back, to breath and to remember. There was hunger, god he was always hungry now, and more lights and something... he had gotten - outside, this must be outside and before this he was inside - outside and into the dark where things didn't hurt until lights came by and hit him and he ran. They must be chasing him (they who?). He had to keep hidden. His fingers brushed against a wall, feeling the cool brick against his fingertips. My leg hurts. He looked down, seeing blood staining the thin cotton pants and running off of his bare foot. Didn't he had shoes? Should he find them? No stop the bleeding, they (who?) always say to stop the bleeding. He kept walking, stumbling, anything to move forward. Maybe he could stay like this, outside, if he didn't stop. If he just never stopped moving he'd find somewhere with no lights. Where he wasn't always so hungry. |

Celia lay on the roof and waited. She had followed the target from above. Now that he had entered the alleyway, she could see nothing. She could hear movement down below, but that could just as easily be Jason. She didn't want to risk friendly fire. Instead she waited with her FN A5 M at the ready. ******* Jason mentally cursed. He cursed the darkness, he cursed the smell, he even cursed Kelly for ignoring the rules. He heard scuffling ahead. He kept his gun raised as he advanced at a slow but steady pace. The sound was coming from right in front of him now. He to decided risk taking the shot. Trying not to consider the possibility of it being a civilian he pulled the trigger. For a brief moment the muzzle flash lit the alley. He was sure that it was the target. He was also sure that he had missed. Edited by Elerrina, Monday Mar 19 2012, 11:41 PM.

The flash of light pierced through his vision, almost as painful as the gunshot would have been. He stumbled back, screaming in pain. He remembered screaming. He remembered other things as well. The flash of the gunshot, the sound, told him the size of the weapon being fired, and where it was. His body moved, instinct telling him what to do. 'Grab the gun, disarm. Strike to the throat to impair assailant. Dispose of target while they are still prone.' He was faster than a human. Much faster. Whoever had the gun was on the ground, their weapon in his hands in a matter of seconds. He knew this feeling, more than anything else. The weight in his hands, the stance and how to pull the trigger. For a long moment he stood, ready to fire. No, he didn't want this. With shaking hands he set the weapon down and took off running. He didn't know much, but this was burned into his mind and consciousness as much as the light had. |

Celia saw the flash and heard the scream. She also heard the scuffle that occurred after. She didn't like all of this waiting and not knowing. "Fuck this." She grabbed up her weapon and rolled to her feet. Taking the fire escape, she stopped at the second floor to listen. There was a long silence. Suddenly a moan broke through the darkness. Celia slid down the final ladder and cautiously approached. ******** Jason heard someone approaching. Rolling over, he grabbed his gun and aimed for the sound. "C.C.D.! Identify yourself." "It's me, Celia. You okay?" "Fine. Did you get him?" "He got away." "What are you doing down here? What happened to cover fire? You should have taken him out from your post." "Jeeze, Jay. In case you haven't noticed it's dark and I can't see shit. I would have been just as likely to hit you." "Hey guys," Kelly's voice sounded in the coms that they each had in one ear. "I hope you caught the guy 'cause I'm hearing reports of shots fired. Cops are on their way." Jason swore. "We're going to have to find him. We can't risk anyone else getting hurt." "By now he's probably found a way underground. We're better off getting away ourselves and tracking him when we can see." "Alright, take to the roof." "Yes, Sir." Celia slung her weapon over her shoulder and started to climb the ladder. "Kelly," Jason was using the com. "Yo, J. We ready to pack it up and call it a night?" "No dice. Set up a trace. See if you can find this guy's signature. We need to be on his trail again A.S.A.P. Last thing we need is one of the locals finding him." "On it, Boss." By the time the sirens could be heard, they were already halfway across the roof. By the time anyone thought to search it, they were long gone. |
