The predator? And who was that exactly? It must have been what he mentioned, the Resistance. Anastasia barely remembered what they were. If she remembered correctly, they were a group of other Touched people that "took care" of their own kind. But wouldn't that mean Kyle is- [i]was[/i] part of it? He was tasked to kill the woman after all. Now he's getting chased down, too. This time, instead of asking him questions, Anastasia kept silent while checking around the store for clues.

When she heard the faint mutter of the word "Here", a quick turn of her heel got her to face his direction. Kyle was at a wall - but also the same one against the brick structure of the building. What was so special about that? What was the difference in all of the other parts of the wall? Anatasia frowned slightly before walking around the tables and racks to be near Kyle. She kept her distance just in case he did something wrong, but close enough to follow his exact movements around the wall.

Kyle seemed to have found something behind a shelving unit near the floor. Ana got curious to see it, using one leg to lean forward on and look over his shoulder. Rune patterns burnt in. Now [i]that[/i] was something she could easily recognize. Anastasia saw them in shows, online, even occasionally passed or caught them on her free time. She managed to learn a few symbols, traps, and sigils herself as well. The woman would do them using ice instead of frost, the markings too clear for someone to see, having to use touch to actually find them. Maybe she could use them for this.

Just as the man touched the rune patterns, the wall that he checked earlier disappeared from sight, like it faded from existence. A staircase was circling down into the darkness. He was trying to find the- basement? Seriously? Out of all things? Actually, Anastasia shouldn't be asking that. What about him triggering a [i]fire[/i] runes?

No, wait.

The question just answered itself. But it's always good to make sure, isn't it? She looked back to Kyle, who was already next to the staircase with his gun to his side. He must have been trying to look for sign of- Victoria? That was right.

Anatasia's face shifted to a neutral expression before reappearing back next to him. She still felt uneasy appearing so close to him, but she had to anyway. [color=8493ca]"So Mister [i]Fire[/i], are you just going to stand around or go in? We were looking for this to [i]enter[/i] or do it out of [i]spite[/i]?[/color] she asked in a low voice, rolling her eyes afterwards.
