Endgame

*Eve gets back and watches*
===
<Um, this is Monu. Is ms Cypus there?>

<I'm afraid not. This is the police, what is your relationship to Ms. Cyprus?>
=====================
E"It should be okay, as long as they don't figure out that Mortal & I are inside."
=====================
<You already got one, now quit whining, I'm going on break.>

*His footsteps can be heard clonking back from whence he came.*
=====================
*Senthose stabs a guy & runs into an alley. Someone fires a cable, but Senthose uses the motion of his arm to raise an ice wall & block it.*

<After him!>

<What about Johnson?>

<Forget it, someone else will take care of him!>

*And so they run after Senthose, except for the guy lying on the ground & holding his bleeding stomach.*

*Eve runs over*

<How badly are you hurt?>
===
{I work at the cafe. Is something wrong?}

"Alright then, follow me," Noct said, leading them to the garage.

<I'll live. He won't.>
====================
<I'm afraid she's been arrested. Would you mind coming down to the station to answer some questions?>
====================
*Once they're presumably on the road, they can see that Astarte's home is surrounded by cop cars.*

"Great...do you think that they have her under house arrest, or actually in jail?"

"I don't know," Noctis said, "Can't you just... use ground sense or something and find out?"

"Not from inside of the car. The rubber tires are blocking my view. And I'm not sure that we could get close enough without being spotted, either."

{Oh, um, what about?}
---
<What would you like me to do?>

"Then what do you suggest we do?" Noctis asked.

"I don't know."
=================
<Call for back-up!>
=================
<A suspected criminal conspiracy.>

Their cell settled down to silence again as Astarte ignored everything Stefan said.

{Involving Ms Cyprus? What?}
===
<Alright.>

*Eve goes in and does that*

"Well, I don't think it'd be safe for one of us to go knocking on the door," Noct said.

<Exactly as I said.>
=====================
<Hello, this is the police.>
=====================
E"Yeah, there's too many. We'll come back later, if we have to."

<There's an injured officer on my front door step, with the rest of the group chasing Senthose. Can you send backup?>
===
{Well, I'll be over in a few.}

*Monu hangs up then starts walking down to the police station*

"Then where to next?" Noctis asked.

<What's the address?>
====================
*As Monu is heading for the police station, he of course notices a large amount of Metalbending Officers running around, patrolling in squad cars, & even catches a small police balloon pass overhead.*
=====================
"The apartment. We have to see if Gabby is alright."

{It's [Eve's address].}
---
*Monu is very confused but continues on his way*
---
<Hello, anyone else in here?>

AND SO THEY'RE OFF!

<We'll send support straight away.>
===============================
*And so he arrives at the station without incident.*
===============================
E"Looks like they got here, too, but there are less of them. I only see 3 cop cars in the parking lot."

"One of us could go and get her if the cops weren't there," Noctis said.

"So, what, distract them?" Mortal asked.

"There are not as many of them this time," Noct pointed out.

{Thanks.}

*Eve hangs up and goes to check on the guy that was stabbed on her door step*
---
*And so Monu enters*

*He's still laying there, bleeding & being surly.*
============================
*He's basically ignored by everyone doing office work.*
============================
"They're probably in the building. We could just go beat them up."

"I... guess the brute force way is always a good option," Noctis said, "Lets get going."

*Monu just goes up to the counter*
---
<They're coming.>
