Ratchet screeched to a halt. "Hey, where's Jen?" she realized. "Holy-- She couldn't keep up with us!" She turned to her brother. "You and Kate need to hop a bus and get back to [i]Gommo[/i]'s house as quickly as you can. Alright?" ((OOC: Phonetic spelling of Korean word for aunt on the father's side))

Winston nodded, handing Ratchet her roller blades. "C'mon, Kate," he said to Kate. "I've got the bus money."

As he turned, he called back. "Wait, Ratchet, where are [i]you[/i] going?!"

"I'm going back to grab Jen and help her get out of here," Ratchet hollered, turning back around.

"Are you bonkers?!"

"Maybe a little!"

Ratchet spun her wheel and kicked her roller blades into high gear, rushing back to the last place she saw Jen. She screeched to a halt as soon as she saw the two dead Fiends on the ground. "Well, those two seem to have been taken care of quite nicely," she said, scratching her head. "But where's Jen? I hope those freaks didn't get her..."

Ratchet heard a scream; she whipped in that direction just as she witnessed Jennifer whack the bone-blade-arm woman from before in the back of the head with a pipe. Dang, she had guts. Ratchet's strategy was to run like a squirrel. She actually felt really bad for leaving Jennifer in the dust.

Ratchet looked behind her to see if any more of those mutants had arrived. Seeing none, she skated to Jennifer, Malik, and Kiara. "Jennifer, I'm so sorry, I should've checked behind me more often and not gone so fast," she apologized. She didn't make any excuses, like [i]oh-I-was-just-trying-to-save-my-family[/i]; nor did she place the blame on Jennifer.

Ratchet looked nervously back at the distant mobs. "I don't think we can stay here very long," she remarked.
