Re: Mazes within a Steel Jungle (Shrike7)
No one greeted River on the balcony, and the usual bustle around the sight of the explosion was nothing outside the ordinary. Below her, the firemen were milling around her apartment, the same voice greeting her from below as she listened, as well as another.
"Well... Shit, I can't believe it, that damned door really did spiral all the way up here"
"Yea it did chief, but why did the woman run? Think she was doing something illegal?"
"It's a possibility, but personally, I'd be scared shitless if something like that smashed through my balcony window... O well, put out an APB for whoever lives here, we need to make sure she's okay somehow. and if she's a criminal, well, that solves two problems at once."
Well it seemed everything involving the fire department seemed on the up and up, but now the police would be looking for her, and the fire department below would probably make sure she was dragged to a hospital for a proper check up. It was during this short ponderthing that River caught something moving out of the corner of her eye, like a bolting shadow, and if she looked back at the balcony window she was perched on, she'd see nothing... literally nothing, black on black, a swirling mass of shadow where a room should be... And then.. she blinked, and it was gone...
