[indent] [i]Oh, FUCK, Edict, really?[/i]

It was all Lyss could think before she felt the heat of the ceiling fill the room. She tucked herself onto the floor, protecting her neck from any bits that might splinter off from the explosion. The room instantly erupted into chaos. She knew she had to get out of there quickly, but as she sat up again and looked with bleary eyes into the mix of tear gas and growing smoke she only saw the muscled agent on his way out with unconscious coven members in tow. Even though she was disappointed it wasn't her on his shoulder, she had to admit it was nice to watch him leave. [i]That uniform fits so well-[/i]

[b]“Evelynn, Lyss, help Jasper out."[/b]

Lyss snapped her attention towards Bianca, and she realized the woman was wearing a gas mask. [i]She fucking knew.[/i] Her eyes narrowed at the woman before she begrudgingly stood to her feet. Jasper was already making his way out with Lynn. So, Lyss was left to save herself. She kept the black mask pressed to her mouth and used her free hand to feel her way out using the wall.

As she stepped out of the building into the light, she could see the whole operation coming to an end. Everyone was in the grass to the side, cuffed and ready for processing. For a quick moment, Lyss considered running. Then she laid eyes on Jasper and Lynn, both seizing from taser darts. [i]No way in hell I'm letting them put me down like that.[/i] Lyss sighed in defeat before raising both arms into the air. She took a few deeps of precious, fresh air as she moved towards the grass. She didn't make it far before one of the PRA agents approached her. She gave them a glare before letting them twist her arms behind her back to cuff her.

The agent began to move her towards the grass. Her eyes searched for each coven member to make sure they were okay, before landing on Luca's prone from and the agents surrounding him. [i]He[/i] was with Luca, and the nerdy looking agent next to him was about to put his hands on him. Lyss winced when his hands came away rotten and bleeding.

[color=SlateGray]"Not a good idea to touch that one,"[/color] she murmured to the agent holding her. The agent simply scoffed and put her on her knees in the grass near the decaying coven member. Near a certain agent Lyss couldn't keep her eyes off of. She looked up at the muscled agent through her lashes. He was busy dealing with the nerdy one's injury, but she couldn't resist the urge to watch him work.

Eventually, the sound of taser darts hitting new targets tore her eyes away. She looked at the other PRA agents, and how they acted around the woman with the taser glock. The woman who seemed to be the leader of this operation was speaking to the group. Lyss adjusted her knees in the grass. Might as well get comfy if they're going to be berated. Who knows how long the PRA planned to keep them detained.

She listened to the woman with a blank expression. [i]She's making sense, unfortunately.[/i] Lyss frowned. [i]Laying hands on an agent? When?[/i] Her brows furrowed as she tried to piece it together, until Mahendra's name was mentioned... and then added to the death list. Lyss sighed, her shoulders drooping as she looked at the grass beneath her. It was pretty shit that another one of them had been killed, but it was worse that it had been at the Dairy Queen. [i]Fuck, fuck, fuck.[/i] Lyss clenched her hands into fists behind her. [i]Why did it have to be at Dairy Queen?[/i]

She thought back to last night. The group of Coven members left shortly after she arrived. She didn't see Mahendra at the Dairy Queen when she left, either. [i]Yet that makes me the last person at the Dairy Queen out of this bunch... and if they looked at the security footage... that makes me the first fucking suspect.[/i]

Lyss pressed her lips together and tried to keep her breathing even. If she showed any sign of suspicion now, she was fucked.

Luca was grieving nearby, and thankfully someone was talking to the head agent. Anya... well, she was doing her best to explain the Father Wolf situation. Linqian, as angry as she was, even made a point that would turn suspicion away. Hell, even Lila was making sense. Even though her location data comment made Lyss tense again. [i]Thank the Hound for a burner phone.[/i] She was untraceable unless she'd made a call or sent a message at the Dairy Queen, which she hadn't.

Lyss would have jumped in to defend the Coven with the others, but she was suddenly aware of how raw her throat felt. She raised her head to look at the muscled agent again, and quietly cleared her throat. [color=slategray]"Could I get some water, handsome?"[/color] She said up to him, her voice sounding huskier than she thought it would. Hopefully it worked in her favor. She knew her lipstick was still intact, and her mascara hadn't run, but she still wondered how red her eyes looked from the tear gas. Was she a hot mess, or just a mess? Either way, she needed to cool her throat before she got into it with handsome's boss.
