Rhemy and Friends?

"No," Rhemy shook her fingers at Carmen. "Please love do not encourage them," Rhemy said to Carmen
Alex smiled. "I really like her. She is just as deviant and diabolical as the rest of us are" the woman said "You and I will talk."
"No, you will not. You both need to behave. We are here to witness a joyous occasion, not try to sabotage it."
"Do you know any good places on the island?" JD asked. "I heard the restaurant food is delicious, but if you have suggestions we are all ears."


Re: Raconteur City: The Hunted (Hollywood/Diego, Ariein, shooter, open)

 

(Hollywood)
Hollywood didn't respond to Ari's comment about things being overkill. They were not sure if it was one person or not. There could be more working with the one shooter. She had learned long ago to never underestimate someone trying to kill her. All she did was simply made a shh sound. She wanted silence as they made their way to the other building and inside.
?
Once they knew the main entrance was secured, Hollywood gave hand signals and the unit broke into teams of two or three and headed into different directions to begin the sweep of he building. Hollywood along with one of her men and Ari, who she signaled to follow her, headed to the security room and she made her way to one of the main computers and started typing on the keys. Before long, the tv screens were showing different parts of the building. She punched a few more keys and after a search with the cameras in the building, Hollywood found the shooter in the stair well. "There." She made note of the floor and started heading to the stair well.
?
(Diego)
Diego heard the shots and knew that she was packing for werewolves. He stepped back as the bullets sailed past him. He had to rethink and quickly. Looking around he spotted the stairwell door. Deciding that remaining he was, wasn't the best laid plan he made his way inside the building. It was a corridor on the other side and the building had already been evacuated. It was one of the Prince's companies. He stopped and placed his ear against the door to listen for the shooter. Which way was she going to go, up or down?
?
?Ari, Shooter

Ariein moved to follow Hollywood. Her until moved like a well-oiled machine so he tried his best to stay out of their way. "Is the plan to kill, maim or disarm? Figured I asked just so we can be on the same page." He said cocking his gun.?

The shooter went down, The goal was to get to the street. Once on the street, they could take off into the shadows. Lucky the werewolf had stop following that was good. But it made them wonder if there was something else lurking and waiting.?

"I promise. Cross my heart. No funny stuff," She said with a smile. "I definitely will do that. I am sure Mickey will be a great resource while I am here." Khadahsee didn't have the stomach capacity to eat all her food, but she ate as much as she could. "That was indeed lovely. I love Cookie's fish, this was very nice." She said wiping her mouth. "I am in the mood for something sweet.? Shall we get dessert? I would love a slice of this cobbler I have heard so much about."
