Ryan had concentrated at the directions that Steph had given him and found the broken bottle

-There it is I'll park a couple of blocks down ok

[OOC]
Heehee ^^ Thanks Tor
[/ooc]

Stephanie quickly turned and looked. Sure enough in front of one of the buildings the was a broken bottle sitting out front.

"Alright."

Her heart felt like it wanted to just jump right out of her chest right then.

"Okay, as soon as we park, we're all going to get out and head back to that building, nice and easy, nothing to attract attention. Meaning no guns out, no running, maybe a little idle chatter, but that's it."

As the car sputtered and slowed to a stop a couple blocks away from the building, Stephanie was the first to open the door and stand up, looking around for a second before motioning the others to come out as well.

Here goes nothing..

Gerek hit the ground utilizing the break fall technique taught to him during basic combat training. And quickly moved toward the edge of the edge of the embassy grounds toward the square. He wasn't paying any attention whether or not any of the others were following him, he just needed to get out and do his own searching.

It's not like i am running away really, I would just feel better if i did the searching on my own.

Then why did not you tell the Novas that?

Because i did not feel like it, now shut up little voice!

Tenjin was sitting in a chair when he suddenly sat up. "...Kojiro! Dammit he's close" Tenjin wandered over to one of the guards in the foyer. "200 credits says I never left" The guard smiles "make it 200 each and you sat here polishing your halo" Tenjin nods "done." He makes the neccessary payments and wanders outside.

* * * * * * * *

Sasaki Kojiro watched as a car pulled up a few streets down from where Virgil was. He readied the Tranqiliser gun and waited, a hand on his old sword just in case Tenjin decided to show up. "But the chances of that happening are rather remote" Kojiro couldn't be more wrong. He watched as someone ran at him with a sword raised yelling loudly. Kojiro nearly threw up with fear "how did he know?!" Kojiro drew his sword as fast as he could and readied himself...

****************

Tenjin made a vertical cut at Kojiro's head. Kojiro only just parried it and staggered backwards a few steps. Tenjin let forth a flurry of blows, Kojiro staggering back once more. Kojiro made a few rather slow strikes that Tenjin parried with ease. Tenjin struck back again with two strikes to the face and two to the body. Two slices hit cleanly leaving Kojiro with a horizontal cut on his face and one in his side. Kojiro staggered back again and winced in pain. Shit how did he get so fast?! Kojiro struck again but missed entirely as Tenjin ran up a wall, backflipped and placed a rather long cut up the length of Kojiro's back. Kojiro screamed in pain as silver and obsidian parted flesh with maliciously elegant ease. Tenjin had landed behind Kojiro. It was time to end this. Tenjin ran Kojiro through twice before drawing his sword back and with one swift motion, separated Kojiro's head from his shoulders. Kojiro's body hit the pavement with a loud thump as Tenjin caught his head. A car pulled up and two strangers hopped out and took both parts of the corpse. With that done Tenjin vanished as quickly as he had appeared.

Stephanie stopped in her tracks and looked around quickly as she heard a scream. After not spotting where it had come from she exhaled deeply.

Stop being so jumpy. Just relax, and get to that building.

Stephanie led the small group back the couple of blocks to the building, staring for a moment at the bottle there on the ground.

Bleh. Tequila... how could anyone drink that stuff..?

She reached out with her foot and tapped the bottle, causing it to tip over onto its side and break a little more around the already shattered edges.

Up to the door she went, grabbing a hold of the knob. She turned it, but it refused to turn more than a centimeter.

"Locked."

She began to wonder if they were at the right place. Then again, how many buildings here would have a broken bottle just standing there openly?

Balling up her fist, she gave a couple of light knocks at the door, hoping this was indeed the right place.

Tenjin wandered back into the embassy wearing his suit and the sports bag in hand. He nodded to the guards and wandered back into the quarters. He looks at Isis "sorry I had urgent "business" to attend to, and by the way where is Gerek?"

Isis looked over at Tenjin from the table with cards and poker chips strewn about it. "He decided to get some fresh air," Isis points toward the window. "Wanna join the game? I'm getting bored beating Latimov...ah, here we go, two pair; jacks and kings." Latimov and another guard let out groans. Isis grinned evilly, "Listen fellas, you can not beat a computer at poker, it is an unwritten rule. Now pay up!"

His heart leapt as he heard the knocks.

Stephanie!

Kai was already slumped in a corner, dozing off the tequila he ahd drunk from the bottle. Virgil didn't pay him any heed as he rushed to the door. True enough, it was Stephanie.

"You made it! Great - wait. What happened to your arm?"

He pointed to the makeshift bandage, at the same time motioning for her to come in.

"Where's Ryan and Xypher, by the way?"

She smiled as he opened the door, having to do everything in her power to keep herself from leaping into his arms right then and there.

As she came in, she gave a passing glance to her shoulder. "Oh. That's nothing... it barely even hurts anymore."

She then turned around to point out Ryan and Scott. "Ryan's right behind me. Xypher... we lost track of him after we left the ship. And that man..." She pointed to Scott. ".. he's the one that lent us the comlink. He's not any problem to us, he was just caught in the wrong place at the wrong time."

Explanations aside, and not caring about what the other two men behind her might think, she jumped and wrapped her arms around Virgil. "I'm so glad you're okay.... you have no idea..." She whispered softly.

Well, time to break the ice.

Scott removed his sunglasses and put them into his pocket, revealing his hazel-green eyes. "So you're Virgil. Nice to meet you." Scott offered his hand for a handshake. It took him a while to realize Scott was introducing himself, as he was looking very concerned over Steph's bullet wound. After about 5 seconds, Virgil said "Oh! Er...nice to meet you, Scott." He met Scott's hand with his own, and gave a firm grip.

Owch! This guy can give a mean handshake!

Scott let go, saying "Do you have any weapons on you, Virgil? We were being chased by mechs, and they might have found us..."
