Sylvia woke up with a groan holding the side of the head. All at once she remembered what happened to her and felt that the gun was still on her but she didn't take it out. She sat up quickly and acted the same persona as she did before being put to sleep looking around coming off as a bit nervous. What she really was doing was taking in the scenery trying to get a good guess as to where they were now in town. "You- you drugged me. A-are you after me too?"

Virgil had woken up with a slight groan his arm over his face. He'd go to move it only to have his vision destroyed momentarily by the sunlight beaming in through the window before him. 'Sh*t', he had slept longer then he had hoped but decided not to rush things. Everything happens for a reason right? He'd then hop up out of his bed looking around at the white surroundings of his room and just tsk. Everything was so bright and he had only just woken up. He'd decide to keep his black sports sweats on (loose fitted until reaching his knees which everything below there would be skin tight), he'd then grab his gray tank-top tossing it over his head making his way towards his door looking down seeing he wasn't wearing shoes, or socks for that matter. "Where did I.." He'd go off into thought scanning around his room before looking under his bed grabbing his vans then opening the night-stand next to his bed grabbing some low-cut socks putting them both on tying his shoes tightly finally leaving.


He'd check his phone for an update, finding the message he'd read it rather quickly pursing his lips as he walked down the stairs towards the front of the building. "Huh, so this is today's task." Virgil would stop crouching down to slide his skateboard out from under the sofa then finally leaving the building tossing his board down and riding off into town what better place to start then a local bar? He put his headphones in his ear as he rode on his way looking to the sky he'd see smoke billowing in the air. He pivoted his board and went down an alley way towards this smoke riding slowly hopping over small objects and such. He came onto the scene behind it all really, or across from it catching view of the girl who looked as if she was speaking to herself. Virgil figured she was just on the phone, but took a few mental pictures and notes of her. I mean how odd a girl smiling and chuckling on the phone in front of what looked to be a crime scene. One he would of most likely committed. Images of burning flames flashed through his mind with his own shadow nearby them it'd be gone almost as soon as it came though. Mine as well wait, maybe follow the girl if he was really in the mood too. He was in fact in the mood.

William woke up fluttering his eyelids. He sat up in his bed and checked his phone. He saw a message of where the next meeting will be. He Toke a cigaret and lit it as he got ready. Pulling on his jacket and stuffing daggers inside. No thoughts ran though his head, only he should meet up with everyone else. Once changed he toke the cigaret out his mouth ran his fingers through his hair. "I'm still tired..." He said quietly and putting back the cigaret. As he got out the apartment and headed to the bar he got different looks on each person he passed. Most have him the feeling he wasn't even there. But that's just normal. When finally got there he ordered a drink and sat at the counter.

 

[SilverCaress]

Sighing slightly, she glanced back at the apartment complex which was probably going to go up in flames. Frowning, she turned and crossed the road. Hoping that she maybe would be followed, to distract the two men from finding the other members of the Syndicate. Even if that meant sacrificing her dignity and acting a bit ditsy for a while.


Natalie walked along, head bobbing.

 

[Phantom King]

Virgil was watching silently waiting for the girl to move and finally she did, it was a good thing too because he was getting bored and needed something of interest. He waited for her to cross the road and a few seconds after before skating on after her. He had his music still blaring the current song being Faint by Linkin park he'd generally go to look at his phone as time checkpoints. He'd look behind him for a brief moment at the scene for one last time before turning back around and pumping his leg twice to keep a moderate speed. Watching the girl bob her head up and down ironically on beat with his own music.

 

[SilverCaress]

She could hear a skateboard behind her, that's something she wished she could do. It always interested her, skateboarding. Natalie had tried, and failed. As she walked, she ran her fingers through her hair. She never trusted anyone else to cut or shave her hair, so she did it herself.


Looking round for a bar that she could go into.

 

[Hibiscus]

Hunter couldn't help himself, the girl was just his type. "Hey hold on a sec Chase, I want to see if that girl knows anything.". He broke his position next to Chase and walked calmly across the street. Maybe I will just ask her to join us at the bar, or meet us there. Hunter ended up in front of her and formed a relaxed pose before starting conversation. "I'm sorry to bother your walk, but do you live in that building over there." He gestured at the building across the street, although his finger pointed at the building, his eyes were studying this girl. She was drop down gorgeous, and Hunter wouldn't leave without her number.

 

[SilverCaress]

She jumped slightly and stopped, gripping her jacket. "Hm?" She looked back, "The one on fire? Oh, no, I don't. I saw it from my apartment down the street and came to make sure it was okay. Not usually like me to give a damn but..ya know." Natalie shrugged, her eyes locked on his. People didn't usually take an interest, and when they did, they were usually drunk and old. Of course, Natalie usually accepted their offer, taking their money, and leaving, but she hated it. It made her feel disgusting. So when someone of a similar age approached her, she felt like a teenager again.

 

[Hibiscus]

"Now correct me if I'm wrong, but I could've sworn you were focused on me and less on the fire." He sent a flirtatious smile to his face. The girl seemed friendly, but who leaves there apartment to watch a fire? Either way Hunter was more intrigued by her then her intentions. "I'm H- well most people call me Sly."

 

[SilverCaress]

"Heh, I gave you a smile..because you looked at me." Natalie raised an eyebrow, smirking. It was hot out, the sun was beating down and she began to sweat, such a contrast to the morning, where it was cold. She removed her jacket, revealing her tank top and tattoo on her arm. Wiping her brow, Natalie held a hand to her face, shielding her eyes from the sun which seemed to be aiming for her eyes.

 

[Hibiscus]

Chase was still across the street, so he would know where they were going. "Mhmm, just what I was thinking." The girl had a hint of sass, which was fine. He could see her remove the jacket, She is obviously hot smart one, not from you, the sun. Hunter grinned, "Did you have anywhere to be, or can I interest you with my company at the bar?"

 

[Phantom King]

Virgil would of came to a slower pace seeing Sly approach the girl. This was the first time he'd seen Chase or Sly in this situation he'd slow up the pace a bit raising his board up going into a lazy manual to give the board a drag letting him in fact slowly. Virgil was just rolling along behind them, he had paused his music listening intently to their conversation. His left hand went to his quad feeling for something before nodding.


With the speak of the bar he paused for a moment coming a complete stop crouching down untying his shoe so he'd have something to do. He was intent on following them now.

Hunter didn't notice Virgil until just now, but this was odd. Why was Virgil following this girl, today's objective was the Syndicate, not stalking teens... It clicked in his head. He gave Virgil a quick glance seeing if he would show any indication of this girl.

 

[SilverCaress]

Is this guy...hitting on me? She thought. Giggling, "Hm, I was actually on my way to meet a friend at the bar, so sure." Natalie shrugged, "Natalie, but call me Nat." As she held her hand out, she turned it into a fist for a fist bump. She found handshakes to be more formal, fist bumps were better.


Glancing back at the boy on the skateboard, she took no more notice.

 

[Hibiscus]

Hunter barely heard her response, "Natalie huh, beautiful name." He replied. Hunter saw the open invitation to the fist bump, which he bumped back without second thought. He placed his fist on his hip, gesturing for her to put her hand through the vacant space between his body and his arm. "May I escort you, Miss Natalie?" He smiled wryly and gave one more glance at Virgil, hopefully he would give Hunter any signs.

 

[SilverCaress]

"Hmm," She smirked, putting her jacket in the space at his arm. "Thanks." Winking and walking past him, she chuckled. Natalie had to admit, she missed this. Her days were filled with work, but today, work was fun. Work was hardly fun, full of killing, lies and dirty money. "Keep up Sly." Natalie looked round at him, the usual smirk on her face.

 

[Hibiscus]

For a moment he was worried about what he got himself into, flustered by Virgil following this girl. Then it all dissipated, Hunter saw the red headed beauty pulling him along and he thought: What's the worst that can happen, keep your guard up, you will be fine. "Right behind you my dear." He put on a smug grin, been awhile since he had a girl on his arm, it felt just right.

 

[SilverCaress]

She looked up, the sky was beautiful, the sun was shining, she was heading to a bar with a boy. "It's beautiful today, huh?" She looked up at him, "Despite how it started I guess."


((Sorry for the short replies, Tapatalk is being a b*tch >,<))

 

[Hibiscus]

"Oh the fire, yeah not the best way to start the day." They continued walking, "So what do you do for a living, if you don't mind me asking."


((No problem, ))

 

[Phantom King]

Virgil's green eyes seem to give a glint of assurance, though Virgil wasn't sure himself his gut feeling hardly proved him wrong. She did also say she was going to a bar to meet a friend possibly another Syndicate. Now that Virgil thought of it even longer he'd pull a one eighty on his board turning around skating the other direction shooting a text to Sly. 'You stay with her I'm actually still curious about this fire and what had happened I'm going to make a run through the building.' He'd say pushing off roughly crouching down as he picked up speed flying towards the building weaving his way through other passerby's. He came into view of the buildings and cop cars before coming into the alley beside the building. He'd gaze up seeing the fire escape a good distance away, he'd go to leap up onto a trash bin taking two steps on the wall leaping to his right arms extended to catch the bottom railing to the first platform because the ladder was missing. He'd proceed to climb his way up sprinting up the steps generally jumping over railings to the next set of steps to quicken the pace. He looked in the sky again trying to remember where the smoke was coming from again deciding he was at the right area he kicked in the window with the heel of his foot. Glass shattered and went over all over the place he'd step inside looking around before realizing it was the wrong room. Good thing the building was evacuated due to the situation at hand he'd easily find his way to the already open door seeing a fire fighter coming up the steps in full gear. He'd look to the right seeing most the other fighters were on their way up, thus giving Virgil his target.


Virgil would wait in cover of the wall until the heavy footsteps came closer, in which he'd come out from around the corner with a devastating close-line bringing the anonymous firefighters feet into the air and head into the ground. Even with his head protection it'd put him in a daze in which Virgil would be able to subdue him and drag him away putting the man in a arm lock suffocating him. He'd release before death checking for a pulse before removing the mans gear, putting it over his own clothes to save time and enable him a different outfit for escape if he was discovered. He placed the dark mask over his face which worked well with the darkness the inside of the building was shrouded in from the smoke. He made his way roughly up the steps trying to match the mans walking mannerism even though he didn't watch long enough to get all his mannerisms down it was enough to go undetected. He came on to the scene receiving a yell of disapproval for taking so long to get there which what looked to be the mans group leader. Virgil only nodded as if he was sorry before moving on following instruction. Check for any people stuck inside the building and any ways this could of started. It didn't take Virgil long at all to see an arrow planted in the wall with burning a dark star type formation around it, much like you'd see from an explosion. He began scanning the ground now searching seeing a still dark-ish imprint on the ground as if someone was wet and fell, or maybe taken? Virgil didn't know but he did in fact find a cell phone laying in the middle of the floor he'd snatch it pocketing it without even checking it. But this action was seen by another firefighter. "Hey George what did ya' just pick up?" Virgil froze for a few moments, he had no idea what this mans voice would of sounded like he was caught. He'd turn around throwing his helmet at the man revealing his raven black mohawk. The man who saw him put up his hands in defense before going to chase after the imposter. Virgil was already out the door sprinting into the room he made his entrance in. But 'George' was in fact waking up horrible timing, very horrible timing. Virgil was stripping down on his run down to only firefighters pants now however still wearing the mask so his breathing wouldn't be affected by smoke. George rose up trying to grab Virgil and would only receive a knee to the chin as Virgil would go to leap over him and dive out the window. There was an audible clanging noise followed by a yell as they chased after him. Virgil was leaping down the steps only taking moments to pivot and leap down the next flight. Once he reached the third one he jumped down knees to his chest landing on top of the dumpster. He'd finally finish getting the pants off rolling out of the dumpster picking up his skateboard sprinting out of the scene across the street. Going into another alley tossing his board down and riding around a new phone in hand now.

"For a living?" She sighed, "It's hardly living when you're jumping from job to job, you must know what it's like... I was working in a cafe, but they let me go." Lies upon lies, Natalie hated it, but she had to, in fact, it even made her look sad. "Yeah, depressing, but whatever... What about you Sly? What do you do for a living, my mysterious friend.."

 

[Hibiscus]

Hunter got Virgil's text, although it gave directions it didn't say anything dangerous about the girl. He slipped the phone away and watched his comrade board towards the burning building. "Depressing is a nice way to put it, I work as a party host." While this was a lie, he did attend every Zeppelin party with glee. He reeled though when he saw her expression, "You alright, I know being laid off it hard, but it ain't that bad." He pulled his own arm closer to his body, bringing her with it.

 

[SilverCaress]

When he pulled her closer, she rested her head against his shoulder. "A party host, hm? Guess you know how to have a party." Nat looked up at him, "Yeah, just provided I can get another job. Things are too expensive nowadays, no wonder so many people turn to crime!" She chuckled slightly at the irony.
