Outside The Cellar, 10.30, OTA
He had more or less decided to do another tonight. He had been out three times in the past week and had lain in wait for his chosen ones, but in each case they either hadn't shown or there had been too many people about.

Tonight he decided to try one of his vantage points down town and was walking to it through the evening dimness when he saw one of the ones he wanted walking ahead chatting animatedly to a much taller boy.

He clenched his teeth, hearing her laugh and paused to look in a shop window, though he actually kept an eye on his quarry. He had no quarrel with the youth, had no idea who he was, and there were a lot of people on the street, but all the same he fingered the gun in his pocket, imagining the kick of it in his hand, the look on her face.

The two halted, discussing something, then the boy turned and went down a flight of steps to a bar with her almost treading on his heels.

He sighed, seeing her out of reach, and left the window and strolled along towards the bar.

Suddenly he heard raised voices and she came shooting up the stairs, propelled by a bouncer, her face shocked. The man released her on the top step murmuring good advice then turned and went back down.

"You and your mother, asshole," she said and gave the bouncer the finger then sighed and took a couple of steps back along the almost empty sidewalk.

There was no time to be lost. He strode forward, hand clearing his pocket. Seeing the movement she looked up and he froze because she was smiling, a happy smile to see a familiar face and opening her mouth to speak.

The gun made a flat splatting sound and her jaw dropped then she staggered back and fell, but by then he was already darting through the traffic, running fast, heart pounding, but exultant for all that.

	Chad flipped his notebook over and started writing the demands down. He looked up once he was done writing. "Good news is that street light over there has a camera in it. Local PD trying to catch the stop light runners. I'll put in a call and get tonight's tape sent to your lab." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"We might even get a break in the case on this one, god I hope so. I figure we could all do with one now." Icene smiled, "Thanks Chad, I appreciate the cooperation. Hopefully I can give you back something that will help you to nail the creep." She looked round the scene again, "Just need a bit of luck with Mr Invisible slipping up this time huh?"

He nodded. "Either way. A slip up from Mr Invisible or a clear shot from Mr Camera up there."

Solemnly he walked down the street with his right hand man on these cases. Jensen offered to take the left side of the street, writing down plate numbers, vehicle makes, models, and colors. Chad worked on the right. They both kept a watchful eye on any sidelong stray or misplaced things.

	Icene nodded, and then as Chad walked away she turned towards the medic, only to see Memphis with Travis and change her mind. The Medic could wait. This one couldn't. (Reply to this) (Parent)
