Tariq nodded at her, accepting the dialogue. It was reasonable that she would be hesitant to trust them fully, they had just tapped into her calls after all. They let her speak and mulled over her words after the second introduction, the Human telling the Alien how to respond. They couldn't mess things up now, they had just gotten her on their side. [color=olive][b]"I gathered my information just like I gathered from your call. Let's just say I have a complex call-tapping machine and leave it at that, wealth and resources needed for such a thing is besides the point. I will make sure not to harm any of the criminals to make sure that your... reputation stays clean. As I have stated before, I am Duos. I will be giving you a communications bead so that you will be able talk to me during this operation. We must take leave, circle around this block and go to the back of the hotel, wait before moving in. Explosions are your signals."[/b][/color] They reminded her a second time and with a passing of the bead, they nodded and entered back into their car.

With a tap on their headset, Tariq connected to the encrypted communications channel and spoke clearly into Priya's ear. [color=olive][b]"I will leave now, Detective. Delay your leaving for a time then move on to your location. Godspeed."[/b][/color] They drove out, turning the car to face the direction of the hotel. They took a deep breath, eyeing the patrol car that was doing rounds around the next block and slammed the accelerator and the brake. With a high screeching of tires, trying to gather as much attention as they could, they took their foot off the brakes and sped their way out. Passing the first patrol car that was parked to the side of the road, they could hear shouting and the familiar arming of guns. Assault rifles, shotguns and pistols, illegal weapons that had no place in the hands of a police officer. They barrelled through the streets, one fake officer parking his car on the road, setting a road block in front of him.

The Human grimaced. This was a tough car, reinforced with armoured plating and made to take a beating. Didn't mean he had to like this. Despite these grievances, Duos drove forward. Three officers came out of the road blocking car, aiming their rifles at them, shouting louder and louder as they came closer and closer. The pretenders finally fired, shooting at the windshield of the car, letting loose bursts of bullets at them. The large rounds cracked the bulletproof glass but never penetrated it and not enough to fully ruin their vision. As they came close to the point of impact, the three fakes dived out of the way, just in time as the police was swatted away to the side by the Ford. They winced as the sound of crashing and grinding metal almost broke their sensitive hearing but they continued to plow through, not letting up until the stolen police car was out of their way.

As they drove through the road, Tariq opened comms. [color=olive][b]"First roadblock clear Detective. Anticipating further hostile encounters soon, no deaths."[/b][/color] One laid groaning at the pavement after diving to the wrong side, a piece of shrapnel in their foot but nothing the man could recover from. They hoped that the upcoming hostiles weren't setting traps, that this was to be an easy job with little danger to a Celestial such as themselves. But they also knew that such naivety could be their downfall.
