[i]Suddenly the child burst off in a burst of speed, whatever he had been carrying seemed to have a fuse to it- emitting a dull glow as he moved closer and closer to the SWAT squad that he had been tasked to play guardian angel for.

[b]"Keep an eye on the woman for me!"[/b]

He kept the gun trained on the child as it darted through the trees, moving from place to place at a blinding speed he almost had an issue keeping up with. Suddenly he skidding to a stop, his arm winded back and prepared to throw the object into the midst of the unaware SWAT agents. The guardian angel took a deep breath, and imagined target practice. His huge finger pulled back on the trigger, and the suppressed bang that followed signaled a successful shot. The small child's crumpling figure signaled a successful kill. The mother screamed and ran at her child, and the object he had been carrying exploded. 

"Something's happening to mama-bear!"

He turned the reticle to the mother to see she had erupted into a fountain of blood, huge claws, wings, horns, you name it- she was becoming some form of demon-esque creature. She screeched again and disappeared in a burst of fire. He cursed under his breath, and turned his attention back to the firefight that had erupted at the building before them.[/i]

"Oi, open this door!"

Henry's attention was taken away from the english teacher's monolog regarding the comedic moments in 'The Taming Of The Shrew' and brought to the yelling he could hear not too far away in the kitchen. [b]"Excuse me, I must depart."[b] he said suddenly, departing from the small group that had congregated in around the teacher. He followed his sense of smell, and hearing as opposed to actual sight to maneuver his massive body around guests and tables. He entered the kitchen, his mere presence immediately demanding the attention of everyone in the room. The cook fell silent as all activity died down and turned around from the door.

[b]"There a problem in here?"[/b]

The cook's eyes widened. "Oh uh, y-yes. There's a student in the storage room. Refuses ta' come out."

Henry made no comment, rather he simply moved the man out of the way and went to work on the door. He put his shoulder too the wood and turned the handle (more than likely breaking the handle as he did so), and pushed the door open with ease. He held his tongue as to not say anything that was unprofessional in front of a student. A 'Here's Johnny!' probably would not go over well. He smelt the air and immediately the scent of a familiar face washed over him. His eyes adjusted and his theory was confirmed as he was greeted with the sight of none other than Meredith Hillard. A fellow teacher- a biology teacher to be precise. It was a welcome sight too, as he could relax around another teacher well enough and he wouldn't have to fill out paperwork later regarding the student's punishment. He ducked under the doorway and walked into the room to block off the exit with his frame. His eyes did not leave her for a moment as he scooted off to the side and grabbed a piece of bread himself, and promptly swallowed it whole. 

[b]"So,"[/b] he began, leaning against the wall. [b]"I do like the idea, but I gotta ask Ms. Hillard- we're about to be served food. Why now of all times?"[/b]

She was an open book. He did not know her, at least not yet, but she wasn't a very secretive person by the looks of it. She wasn't very mature- that much was obvious and she had an appetite that was almost as insatiable as his own. She was beautiful enough- but he had read into enough files to know a little bit about her in that this was not what she really looked like. Call it a work related, acquired habit but in his days working against these kinds of people he had learned to do a little homework to know what he could be dealing with. He had learned of those that flaunted their power like no tomorrow and of those who kept them concealed. He wondered what this woman was like in that aspect. 

[b]"What do you say we adjourn. Join me for dinner? I always get huge portions."[/b] he asked, attempting to solve the situation peacefully as opposed to using force. This was his co-worker here. Forming a good bond with someone usually was a good thing in a work environment. He must've looked awfully strange- a gigantic reptilian monster in a suit and tie speaking politely and evenly. [b]"Agent Henry Olin, staff self defense instructor and guidance councilor. Veteran Elite- at your service."[/b]
