[h2]Gotham Uptown: Gotham Law Library[/h2] [@bluetommy2] The fleeing assailant was running with a mix of both fear and trying to get to a new position before attempting to kill his pursuer… again. Taking a few quick corners around some bookshelves he came to an open area with a few tables with chairs around them for reading and studying. Throwing a couple chairs towards where he entered as he passed some of the tables he then flipped a long rectangular table on its side for cover waiting for the next sign of movement. “I don’t get it,” He wiped some sweat from his brow. “I shot that thing and he got up like it was nothing” Gun ready he waited hoping this was just his imagination.

There was a moment of exchanged glances between the three of them then to the bomb. “Uh, Is it counting faster, or am I just seeing things?” They all looked back and it did appear to be counting faster. “We need to stop it then, elsewise the escape won’t be here in time.” another said moving towards the bomb. “No! you idiot, do you remember what [i]he[/i] said would happen if you disarm that.” The first spoke again. This inspired a fearful look from the other two men. “Do you think he was serious?” The second asked lowering his gun momentarily. “I know the guy supposed to be a bit, off, but…” he trailed off just looking at the bomb. The whole time the counter was speeding up more and more now counting 3 seconds every second. “I don’t care! I have a life to live!” the one nearest the bomb called out as he hastily began to defuse the bomb. Popping a panel off the front of the timer he reached for the wires- [b]BANG![/b] A shot rang out from the second man of the group, and the one attempting to disarm the bomb fell lifeless to the ground. “Escape or not, I would rather die than take that chance.” He said looking to his partner who nodded in response.

Security System like that. Hopefully the inner sanctum is still untampered with.” [/b][/color]Cassidy began to connect to the outer security systems of the Hall hoping there were still some cameras intact. Surely enough there were a few still operable, but the ones left were not in too good of shape making it hard to discern who was there.[color=cyan][b] “Well it looks like he is still connected to the system, and searching for something over the open network… Let’s just knock.” [/b][/color] Working into the Hall’s systems Cassidy began to ping George with a message. [color=cyan][b] “Hello, You don’t look like you’re from around here… well, at least not from this time.” [/b][/color]
