Aiden Shepard [ Abraham Van Helsing ] (arcere) wrote in bellumlogs,
When the girl came back and handed him a coat, Aiden took it warily. He pulled it on over the suit and checked the pockets for anything of interest. Not much - no weapons, no knives (his own sitting in a desk drawer back in the apartment), nothing useful. He glanced once more at the other man. Exiting out the back? If he really wanted to, then fine --
Things changed, and almost without warning. Smashing and yelling, screaming and sudden panic, the place warped into a hellhole of hysteria in a matter of seconds as the doors flew open and policemen rushed in. Aiden froze up for a half second before Helsing's hurried insistence made him grab the girl's arm and start pushing through the thronging people, heading for the door. The police were taking every entrance but the back, where they had no chance of beating the rush to get out to. So head for the front. As soon as you're out, the two of you must hurry. Stay to the shadows - they will likely be too occupied to notice you!
"Come on!" he said to her, almost yelling to be heard over the chaos, as he pulled her toward the door.
