Ellie was already stepping through the glass window before he spoke. In fact, she was prepared to take his leg out from under him before he started running his mouth about being a scientist. [color=ff6130]”Meta...sciences. You’re a scientist? The hell are you doing here?”[/color] He definitely didn’t look the type to rob a store, hell, he looked like he just rolled out of bed. At least Ellie got dressed before she did. The hell was this guy on about? [color=ff6130]”What are you talking about? What weapon?”[/color] Sirens started creeping up on them the more they spoke. She was still lit up, and the light started to fade bit by bit as she saw he wasn’t actually armed. Wait, how did he know her name? [color=ff6130]”So you come out here in the middle of the night, blow up some cars and start snatching things in a jewelry store just to tell me something? You’re not exactly in a good spot here.”[/color] Her fists still lit up, she turned her head for a few seconds as the flashes of red and blue began to come into visibility.

[color=ff6130]”Know what? Fine.”[/color] She grabbed this “Takeda” guy and bolted out the door with him in tow just before the cops got there. The city block was largely pitch black, and there was a streak of gold running across the sidewalk with this guy before her Sunlight faded off. Now they sat by her motorcycle. The cops finally came and started sweeping the place, everything past the burning cars would be hard to see with the blackout. In a flash, Ellie had bum-rushed the guy over to her bike, now that they were plenty of feet away from the scene, they had a moment. None of the cops would think to look over this way, if anything, they’d go looking for the grid’s failure. At least, until they start sweeping the surroundings. [color=ff6130]”This better be good.”[/color]

[color=ff6130]”Okay, you wanna talk? Talk. You got three minutes before I 180 this and drop you over there.”[/color] She sat on her bike like the was ready to take off, since it was obvious this guy was fishy. Blowing up cars to get Ellie’s attention was one thing, painting the scene with the busted up shop was another, but actually bagging the jewels inside? A thief doesn’t really go that far just to say “sike” after. Then again, why would he have an ID? [color=ff6130]”A weapon. Some plan. My [i]name.[/i] Start explaining.”[/color] She didn’t come off as hostile, just very composed, and somewhat confused. This was going to turn into one hell of a night. Ellie was sitting with both legs thrown to one side like a chair, with him in front of her. 

[color=ff6130]”We’re not going anywhere until you explain yourself. You sound like you know I’m not gonna budge. Talk.”[/color]
