[ It's not the darkness that scares him, but the inherent absence of light. Perfectly normal, rational fear that makes it absolutely okay for his heart beat as rapidly as it is, fingers trembling from the effort to keep goddamn calm because he is past this. It's fine. Just checking in. Everything is going to be just fine. ]

Please tell me you're okay.

[ ACTION — OPEN ]

[ FBI agents aren't ones to sit at home and cower and soon as Reid has made sure that the people he cares about are safe and well, he makes a valiant effort to at least get himself to the Defence Force HQ where he can at least be of use. Armed with nothing but a flashlight and the reflexes of a life-long bully victim he braves the dark and the raptors, keeping close to the buildings so he can slip inside should the bloody reptiles come too close.

Of course, that won't help much if he finds himself in a fear zone... ]

	Sure... wait there. [ He moves closer swiftly and carefully, eventually holding out the flashlight for her to take. ] Here... I think I have a spare here somewhere. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ She takes the offered flashlight, holding it out in front of her.] Thanks, Reid. I really should've found one before now. Where are you headed? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ He retrieves his spare, wasting no time in clicking it on. Too dark out here. ] Defence Force HQ... it's taking a little longer than I'd like, though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Given the circumstances, it isn't really surprising. [ Bonnie moves over beside him. ] I can come along with you for a while. Until I come across any of my other friends. I've been looking for them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-12-26 12:16 am UTC (link)
	Sure. Strength in numbers, and all that. [ He gives a little smile. ] Do you, uhm... do you have anything to defend yourself with? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ She's quiet for a moment, then shakes her head. ] Not really, no. Don't have any weapons in the apartment and I couldn't see anything out here. Dumb move, I know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-12-26 07:04 pm UTC (link)
	I wouldn't call it dumb... [ Sheepish. He doesn't have any weapons either, you know. ] My mentor used to say that you don't need a gun to kill someone. Not sure how well that would work on raptors though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	medeis 2013-12-26 10:22 pm UTC (link)
	Unprepared then. [ Nobody would have expected those things to come.] Probably not well at all. Unless you had a baseball bat as a weapon. [ She purses her lips, thinking for a moment. ] If we could stun them somehow, that might work. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We have tazers back at HQ... I never take one, since I'm not on patrol duty but I kind of wish I had right about now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	medeis 2013-12-27 09:37 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah. I wish you had one too. [ Things would be a little easier. ] Is there a shortcut or something to the HQ? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-12-27 11:27 pm UTC (link)
	Well, technically it shouldn't be that far but since we can't travel out in the open... [ Sigh. ] I live in this sector, it really shouldn't take me this long to get there. Avoiding being spotted is slowing the travel time down significantly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	medeis 2013-12-29 09:16 pm UTC (link)
	Being slow might be our only chance. [ It sucked, but Bonnie knew he had a point. ] What if we stuck to the shadows? I know we have flashlights but if those things can't see us, then it might be okay. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-12-30 09:41 pm UTC (link)
	Sure, but uhm... that would also mean that we can't see them and I bet they have a better sense of smell than we do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	medeis 2013-12-31 04:18 pm UTC (link)
	Okay, you've got a point. Two points actually. What do you think we should do? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-01-01 11:05 pm UTC (link)
	Well, uh... the most important thing is to map a route to wherever it is we want to go. We don't want to stay out here too long, if possible but we also want to make it there safely without risking being cornered or cut off by the raptors. Staying close to the buildings may be beneficial... unless they really can open doors. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ She listens carefully, remaining quiet until Reid was finished. ] I don't know this area as well as you do, so I'm going to follow your lead. But I am good at keeping my eyes peeled. Might be better if you go up front, with me behind. They shouldn't be able to. [ A beat. ] Of course, they could break through the doors rather than open them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-01-04 08:59 pm UTC (link)
	That's, uhm... certainly something to keep in mind. [ He draws a steadying breath. Okay. Darkness be damned, he should at least get both of them safely to the HQ. Motioning for her to follow, Reid sets out on a carefully mapped out route that should keep them mostly undetected. Of course, he's never had to take raptors into the equation before. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Just keeping things in perspective. [ It's whispered to him as she follows his lead, keeping an ear out for raptors. On top of that, Bonnie had to be as quiet as possible and not risk being heard. Wasn't exactly an easy task. ] (Reply to this) (Parent)
