Climbing back up, Rayner proceeded to screw in some more bolts when his dirty blond haired coworker Luke walked through the front of the unfinished and unfurnished department store with an extension cord and bag of tools in hand. Rayner stepped down from the ladder again and, folding it up, walked over to a nearby countertop before setting the object down beside it. Grabbing a bottle of water from off the top, he opened it and took a swig as he turned to face Luke. [color=teal]"So... management pulled you from your game to take over for me huh?"[/color] He said, chuckling lightly. [color=green]"Yeah. I was on the last hole to. Almost won, but then the call came in and well... here I am."[/color] He replied, shrugging slightly as he placed the cord and his bag on the cold tile floor. [color=teal]"Well. Shit. I told them I had this. Said I didn't need any help today, I'm just putting up some bracing after all. It's not that hard."[/color] Rayner said, taking off the white hardhat he was wearing as he wiped some sweat from his brow with his shirt sleeve. [color=teal]"But if it's what management wants, then it's what management wants."[/color] Shrugging slightly, Rayner tucked his hat underneath his arm and started walking towards the door, briefly patting Luke on the back as he went. [color=teal]"Good luck on your shift."[/color] Striding past him, Rayner exited the building and headed towards his apartment a building a few blocks away. As he did so however, he walked past an electronics store and saw a row of tv's on display showing an afternoon news report in which a robbery was reported to have taken place in a bank a few blocks away. Rayner paused for a moment as the news anchor went onto to ask those watching to turn in any information regarding the incident to the proper authorities. Turning away from the partially glare obscured screens and resuming his trek back to his apartment, a small smile wormed its way across his lips as he wove through the crowds of pedestrians milling about the area... It seemed as though tonight would be the perfect time to hunt down this elusive thief.
