RP: A Brunch turns into more
Who: Alexis, Nate, Maurice, ICIS responding team
Where: NYC
When: October 15, 2011
Summary: A fun trip to the city ends in an unfortunate end.

Alexis liked spending time with Nate. He was... normal. He belonged to the same social circle as she was, and sure his family might have been old money as opposed her dad's fortune, but those things tended to be overlooked with there was fame to go with the money. They had grown up going to the same places, doing the same things, knowing the same families, even if Nate was older than she was.

Today, they had decided to have brunch at Alice's Tea Cup. Alexis loved the atmosphere there, but she knew no one else would understand why you'd spend $10 for eggs, but Nate got it, and they went there, and afterwards, they walked around. This part of the city was the most different. Gone was the Metropolitan and Central Park, replaced by the heart of the federal government with its buildings and the many restaurants, delis and cafes that sprang around it to deal with tourist and employees alike. However, there were some places that were still familiar.

As they started to walk down 5th Avenue, Nate tensed. "What is it?" she asked.

Alexis looked up at Tim and shook her head. "No, not really. I mean I'm fine. He didn't hurt me, but he looked at me and smiled at me, right after he killed Nate, he smiled, and said some other time, like it was all a game.

"Why, Tim? Why did he run after this man? He knew who he was, why not call and wait? We're not real agents, I don't care what the badge and gun say. We're not. Even cops, they go through training and walking the beat with a more experienced partner, you don't just have a seven week class and are told that it's fine." She couldn't believe that they had brought Tim here either. They weren't supposed to be doing this. They weren't supposed to play cops and robbers. "I can't do this, I can't be the agent they want me to be. I can't watch someone else die."

No she wouldn't be all right, not for a long time, not after this. But there wasn't much Tim could to fix that for her, not really. It made him sick hearing what had happened, the way that man had smiled at her, made it some sort of game.

"It's - it's what they're training us to do, go after these guys." Tim shook his head, it would be a damn long time before he was going to be the one to run after someone he knew was a killer. "All you have to do is keep yourself safe, the rest of it - you just need to know how to protect yourself." He told her. They didn't have to be agents, not like the ones who were really agents, they just had to know how to keep themselves alive, and that meant not doing stupid things like running after murderers.

"I-" She looked up at him. "You don't mean that, right? To go after them. I can't do it, and I don't want you to do it either. There are ways, better ways. We could call and let them track him down with the cameras, send the real agents."

Alexis nodded. "I can do that." She didn't have much of a choice. She learned to protect herself or she'd die. She knew perfectly well how to go into a store and duck between the racks or get lost inside Sacks. There were plenty of ways to protect herself an all of them included not confronting killers.

Tim nodded, "I don't want to go after them either." He told her, shaking his head, there were so many other ways this could have happened today, and no matter the amount of training they gave him Tim was never going to feel like an agent, not like the sort of agent he was sure Derek was, or like the ones they had here with them. "Yeah I think that's a good plan, we see something like this again, we don't run after them - we call we get help, we let them take care of it."

"Good, you do that. You keep yourself safe first, the rest of it - we let them worry about the rest of it." They didn't need to be heroes they were just kids. For the moment he was going to stay with her though, do what he could while they waited for the real agents to take care of whatever there was that needed to happen here. And then they could go back to the base, away from all of this.
