[color=4169e1]"We can leave once Anti-Skill gets here, you maniac."[/color] The Japanese girl responded, giving her Irish compatriot a mild glare and light elbow to the ribs for his remarks. [color=4169e1]"And she can keep her camera, Anti-Skill may- [i]Oh for fuck's sake.[/i]"

It wasn't hard to see the smaller student twist out of [color=a187be]Grape Juice's[/color] grip, she'd recognize a movement like that anywhere. She didn't really blame her, either. Everyone took cameras for granted nowadays. Everyone with one built into their phone thought they were a professional, that they could do everything with their little pocket computer that the pros with their expensive equipment could. They couldn't. Not just because of the technological limitations, but because of the know-how. A photographer's camera was their livelihood. Any photographer worth their salt would do anything to protect it, regardless of the circumstances. It'd be like someone tried to take away Umeko's projects. Or Brennan's probe.

So she understood the impulse to flee. Unfortunately, she just couldn't allow it. 

So when Hazama hit the ground running, having loosened [color=a187be]Grape Juice's[/color] grip, Kawaguchi was running too. The shrimp was quick, Umeko'd give her that, but the older girl's legs were longer. And when dealing with two athletic people, that edge mattered. And Umeko was cheating a little; a little extra kinetic energy each time her foot hit the ground wasn't going to make her the Flash, but it definitely wasn't hurting her speed. The photographer didn't have much of a head start, and she wasn't going to get away on speed alone.

Not only was she an important witness, Umeko didn't want her running into whatever made the first body drop.

[color=4169e1]"Get back here, kid! No one's going to hurt your camera!"[/color] A breath, and she sped up a little more. [color=4169e1]"Put it with my stuff, no one'll touch it!"[/color]
