[b]Rift Hound - Maroni's Restaurant[/b]

Joshua closed his Pocket the moment the gunman vanished from sight, his heart hammering in his chest. It had worked! No one had reacted and now he had access to a gun! ...If the guy wasn't dead and [i]if[/i] he could retrieve the gun without retrieving the man holding it...
Joshua shook his head clear. He needed to focus. It seemed like negotiators were coming in and the hostage takers were dropping the ice shield and letting in a man and a women. This may be his chance! He could see just enough outside to [i]maybe[/i] open a portal and smuggle out the hostages!

Turning under a table, Joshua peeked out. The person nearest to him was the woman who'd been shrieking when the man with the knife had been shot. He couldn't tell her state of mind from looking at her, but he needed to try to do [i]something[/i] to get these people out of here!

"Hey! Psst! Hey!" He whispered, grabbing her attention, "I'm with the League! They sent me in with those two! I'm here to get you all out!" It was a lie, but a necessary one. The last thing he needed was for the hostages to think he was with they oppressors. Joshua held his breath and waited for the woman's response.
