Men and women yelled as they tried to get to safety and loud explosions filled the room. Everything was thrown into a state of chaos. Was the Don? Were those the others? [b]“OH MY APPLESANDMACARONIPIE DID YOU SEE THAT?!”[/b] There was no mistaking it, that was the little trickster. So, they were through playing pretty ladies, yeah? Lucien looked to Boris, then to Dylan, an idea forming inside his head. It was time to ditch the noble and help their friends. Still, he had to wonder, why were they calling off the undercover mission? Had something gone wrong? His head was filled with questions, but he had no time to entertain them. "Oh Boris! I think I forgot something in the dungeon. Do accompany me, I'm scared to death." He gave Dylan a wink, linked his hands with both Dylan's and Boris' then whisked them away to the dungeon. "I think it's behind that horse, please go and have a look." He wasn't being very ladylike, but the stunned Boris who was too gentlemanly for his own good, stooped down beside the horse to check. Lucien took the opportunity to grab the handcuffs of the shelf and swiftly cuffed his cousin to the wooden horse. "Oh my, I'm so sorry, but Diane and I must depart!" He gave the man a horrid wink, he was no longer in character, not at all. The summoner quickly ushered Dylan out of the room before bolting the door shut. He let out a nervous laugh. "You saw what I saw, yeah? It was them." He grinned at his friend, the Pride sure was amazing. "Hey, hey, Dylan...if you were some rich jerk, where would you hide a bunch of women?" With most of the guards rushing to the first floor, the other floors would be probably be easier to search. "Now's the perfect opportunity to look around, yeah?" His grin widened, the thought of running around like secret agents made him very excited. [img]http://i.imgur.com/ZEQcnsM.png[/img] There was a loud rumble then silence. "What on earth?" Xan stared at Thunderhawk for a few moments, wondering if perhaps something had gone horribly wrong. Mordie didn't seem too worried and mentioned something about earthquakes. However, Xan thought it was something bigger. The metallurgist hopped off her stool only to be yanked away by something. For a moment there had been no one, but in the snap of a finger Aria appeared. "Aria?" Before Xan could say more, a familiar looking bag was pushed into her arms. [b]“I’m going up while everyone’s mostly distracted."[/b] "Distracted? Aria, distracted by what?" Xan's voice grew concerned, but before she could hold Aria in place, her friend dashed off, stating that the others in the lobby would probably need assistance. "Assistance?" So the others were inside? What happened to playing it safe and warding off suspicion? "Aria, wait..." Before she could protest Aria was gone. Going solo didn't sound like a good idea, especially not in this situation, but the only thing she could do was trust her friend. "Be careful too," Xan muttered before she rushed towards the entrance. What she saw froze her in place, it was the pride, duking it out with security. Oh...that's why her stuff was in the bag. She'd have to thank Aria later on. The girl rushed back to the counter. "Henrietta, I think you should take a look at the lobby." She didn't pause to explain to Anthony and instead found a place to change out of her dress and into her guilder clothes. The girl rushed past Mordie, hoping that she wouldn't be recognized and skidded to a stop when she got into the lobby. It was chaos, everywhere. To her left a bro kicked a security guard in her face and to her right more screams erupted. She weaved her way through the crowd, tripping one of the guards who chased after a bro with a baton. What had happened in the span of a few minutes? Well, all hell broke loose, that was what happened, unfortunately. [b] "Go up?! I can't see any stairs goin' down!"[/b] Up? Wait wasn't that Syed and his partner? The boss? "The stairs are that way!" She yelled, Xan didn't quite understand what was going on, but if the pride has suddenly decided to blow their own cover and charge, then it had to be something big, right?
