Vashti hopped on Emily's moped and, honestly, the girl had more important things on her mind than Vashti. She didn't even bother putting on a helmet as she threw the potion into her purse. Emily immediately started the moped as she darted off before the rest of the Coven could get out there. Unfortunately, she had left with what she came for so her loyalty to the Coven was... waning, unfortunately. While she had a newfound appreciation for them helping her, the fight with Annabelle was, to be frank, more than what she could chew. More than what [i]any[/i] of them could chew, unfortunately. So, the plan today was to haul ass to the hospital, get her sister cured, and then get the fuck out of here. She was more than [i]certain[/i] that the Coven or [i]somebody[/i] would figure this out.

The streets of Tampa were chaotic, to say the least. Cars were abandoned (or crashed), bodies were littering the streets, and Emily desperately hoped that the chaos wouldn't reach the hospital. Part of her wanted to call her family to make sure that they're okay, but they're out in Tampa Palms, very north of Tampa. The breeze hit Emily's face as it threw her hair all over the place. She was weaving and dodging different vehicles that were abandoned in the streets.

However, she didn't realize that some of the Wendigoes remained in the city. Coming from behind one of the cars, she heard a loud screech as it lunged at her - Emily herself didn't get a good look at it because her flight or fight instincts kicked in. She immediately swerved to her left as she screamed, but unfortunately, she turned too much and the moped fell over. Out of reflex, perhaps, she attempted to use her ability but that was a fruitless effort as the moped came flying from underneath her.

Emily felt herself roll over and over again as she felt a pain like no under and the cacophony of her poor little moped was replaced by ringing. All she saw as she looked up like the night sky as everything [i]spun[/i] - yet, perhaps out of sheer willpower, she managed to remain awake. Only because she knew that she was easy prey for that thing marching towards her.

She tried to push herself up with one hand, but she couldn't feel her entire arm. She looked at her arm and saw that it was snapped the wrong way at the elbow and Emily almost vomited. She couldn't feel it, and she knew that was worst. Her other arm was fine, but she managed to push herself up as the guy sauntered over to her - probably seeing that she was easy prey, which she more or less was. She knew that she was bleeding inside.

[i]... but what about the cure.[/i]

Getting into a city that was undergoing a full-scale evacuation was [i]not[/i] easy. Fortunately, Maximilian and the DENS agents "commandeered" a vehicle. They were all stuffed into a cramped sedan with Cindy at the wheel, and Maximilian and Leon stuffed into the back. Speeding towards Tampa as they were just entering the city - fortunately, not all exits were clogged. Unfortunately, it was absolute anarchy from the looters and the other crooks... they passed a member of Forgiven screaming and shouting his ideologies. 

"I know for a fact that Meifeng is going to try to fight Annabelle," Cindy said.

"Maybe Agent Liao will realize that she can't do everything... for once," Maximilian rolled his eyes.

"Oh no," Cindy answered, "I've known her for [i]years[/i]. Expecting her to listen to reason once she sets her mind on something is a waste of time." Cindy sighed.

"... I just hope she's okay," Leon said.

However, they heard the monstrous scream that reverberated throughout all of Tampa and they didn't know what it was. It sounded Annabelle, but far, far, worse, immediately Maximilian's eyes shot open as he grabbed onto the safety handle that was overhead. There was something in mind, an idea because they couldn't lollygag if Agent Liao's, or the Coven's, lives were on the line.

"Stop the car," Maximilian sternly said.

"What?" Cindy asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I can get there faster on my own," Maximilian said, "We don't have time to argue, trust me on this."

"What about the rest of us, then?" Helena asked with a raised eyebrow. "You're definitely not risking the cure."

"I'll keep her busy, while you catch up," Maximilian said, "Trust me."

Cindy nodded her head as she came to a stop and unlocked the back doors... while he immediately tried to get out given that he was larger than average, that wasn't easy. When he was on his own two feet, he rocketed off towards the sky at lightning speeds. In all honesty, all he had to do was follow the destruction.

[i]Just hold out a little longer, I'm almost there.[/i]
