[color=deepskyblue] Marcus stretched his arms and looked around the vicinity. The houses did not have any personality. Each house looked exactly the same. Even then, the concept of a kidnapper in the neighborhood might possibly be the most action the area as received. Marcus betted that nothing ever happened here. 

	Stretching his arms, he looked at Kurt. He scrunched up his face and wondered what the lizard man inferred. [color=cyan]"Why am I crazy?"[/color] Marcus had no clue on the lizard man's actions. Did he want to throw up? Marcus shrugged the odd behavior. Looking at the houses again, he wondered how he was going to investigate.

	[color=cyan]"Well, of course, you can't do that. Wasn't there some spy equipment in the van?"[/color] Marcus put his hands up to protect himself from the rain. The pitter patter of the liquid was the only sound available. Everything else was silent. His skin started to feel cold and wet. The atmosphere brought an uneasy feeling on him, almost something ominous. 

	It was then that Marcus heard the sound of a nearby woman. He jerked his head side to side to find the voice. [color=cyan]"Damn it, Kur-Dragon. You're out in the open,"[/color] Marcus quickly blamed the appearance of his teammate. Then again, the teen almost said his real name out loud. Through the rain, Marcus then found the source of the voice. 

	[i]She's got to know something.[/i] Marcus gritted his teeth and held his hands up. He wondered if he was really meant for this. The woman looked non-threatening compared to the monsters he faced before. She pointed a bow and arrow toward him which only raised the question of "Who uses a bow and arrow anymore?"

	Marcus squinted at the young woman. Two possibilities stood: she is the kidnapper or an accomplice. Marcus tried calming the person down. [color=cyan]"Please do not shoot. I have the right answers for you. It's in my pocket,"[/color] he calmly spoke out as his hand slowly dug into his pocket. He tried to look as non-lethal as possible. 

	Finally, he pulled out a rubber ball. Marcus smiled as he popped it into his mouth. [color=cyan]"There's your answer,"[/color] he said with a grin. With a few seconds, he squatted to the floor and leaped toward the roof at the woman.
