"What?" Kera startled Tom as she exclaimed at the new BOLO that popped up in their vision.

"Someone kidnapped Misty Kraven? What drugs are they on?" Tom called in that they were on the search for the van in question. He and Kera spent the rest of their shift looking for the van. All hands were on deck, even though Tom and his team were technically supposed to be on the hunt for rogue bots. Tom doubted there was going to be much luck with that. "Do you think it has something to do with the message?"

Kera's knuckles where white, she shook her head. "No. I expect not. Why go after her?" Kera trusted the system. Tom suspected she didn't look past what she had been told. She followed orders no question no doubt. "Hey, see that girl?" Kera release the wheel with one hand and pointed down at a dark haired girl, jacket tightly wrapped around her body, walking some questionable streets.

"Think she's a bot?" Kera shrugged at Tom's question, but pulled the cruiser down low to land in front of the girl.

Tessa made her way to the edge of Providence. Night wasn't all that dark in a city made of screens and advertisements. Tessa had never known true darkness. Even in the places where there were no boards there was still light. Today had been the closest to darkness she had ever seen. Jaques had spoken of stars and darkness so pure you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

Lights blared in front of Tessa. [i]Shit.[/i] The lights belonged to a cruiser.

"What's your name? Please show us some ID." A female voice said from behind the bright lights. Tessa ducked into an alley and started running. "Runner!" She heard behind her. This time a male voice. There were two of them. "Stop!" The female voice yelled running after her. Tessa knows these streets. Knows their secrets. Jaques had made her learn them. Had taught her everything he could have in the six months they had traveled together. It was thanks to this training that she got over a fence and into a small yard belonging to an empty house. The window opened if you wiggled it just right. 

Jaques had taught her to stay places like this, and to make sure she left it exactly as she had found it. To trace places Tessa had been would have been to find a needle in a haystack with no magnet. 

Tessa pulled herself in through the window that led into the bedroom of the house. She closed the window and outside she could just hear the Hark officers talking. Her heart skipped a beat as she realized the shower was running.

"She's gone." The male voice said. "Think she was actually a bot?"

"Doesn't matter." The female voice responded. "She ran Tom. No one runs unless they've got something to hide. Get a picture of her?" Tessa doesn't hear the guy's response, but she assumes it is a yes. "Good. Let's check it against any APBs." 

"We don't have time." Tom told the female. "We better head straight to the museum. We'll look into the girl later." Tessa sighed relieved as their foot steps disappeared. She lay on the floor breathing heavily for a moment before she stood and started down the hall. She needed to get out of the house before whoever was in the shower got out.
