[yeah, i couldn't say whether the girls followed~] Erru smiled, glad that everyone was alive and well. Then she requested everyone turn away as she adjusted her clothing and removed a tight, corset-like vest. "This is protection for the volunteer who helps the others out the windows on the southeast side. I broke one open, and the thugs haven't seen it. I've got three more I took from the storage room I came in through, so which four are going to be in the most danger?" She tossed the bulletproof vests onto a chair, walking to the body on the side of the room. She hefted the child into her arms and smiled. "Wouldn't be ready to go without him," she said. "No one left behind. I figure they're planning on using explosives, so we've got to get Colt and that woman I knocked out in the hallway out of here too." As if on cue, Colt shifted, trying to break free of his bindings. Erru whispered something to him and he stood with a nod. "He'll help us if we promise not to kill him..." She turned and set the child down momentarily, tearing off Colt's gag and leg restraints. "Your hands stay tied," she added." Then she lifted the child again, looking back at Colt. "I'm going to trust you to help us out of fear, and not compassion. If you cross us in any way, we'll go back on our word as well." With that she looked to the others. "Who wants to volunteer to be a helper?"

Erru flipped up her gun and struck her opponent in the temple, turning in a circle and knocking her off balance. Then she struck her throat, effectively rendering her unconscious. She then moved the woman to the side of the hallway furthest from the area where the others could get in and removed the keys from her belt, heading straight to the room the girls were in. When she'd gained entry, she looked at Tsukiko and Ai. "Um, hey. D'you guys want to get out of here? Quickly? If we head back to the other room, we can smuggle you all out either through the back or the window before the thugs get back in." Without waiting for an answer she beckoned for the two to follow, heading back to the locked roo yet again, and checking to ensure that Ram was still out cold, taking her gun as well. When she reached the door, she knocked three times. "Anybody want to let us in?"

[i'm so sorry I wasn't here all day TT-TT My internet was off Dx] "Hello," Erru replied. "In case you don't recognize it, that hard, metallic feeling against your abdomen is a machine gun. I suggest you back off and tell me where those kids are, or the police will be dragging you off in an ambulance" She had her finger on the trigger to show that she meant the threat, and stared coldly into the kidnapper's eyes. "So, what do you want to do?"

[Curse my need for sleep... Be back first thing tomorrow]

*Erru had ducked behind a wall of the building. Apparently, the police-trick hadn't worked, and now there were more of them than before. "Great, now I'm putting their lives at risk..." If she ran out now and tried to gun them down, she could take most of them before they returned fire, but she didn't like the idea of killing when it wasn't only self-defense. Besides, she couldn't protect anyone if she gave herself up in an all-or-nothing move... so she ran around the side and kicked in a window, going back inside the building. She figured since so many guys were out front, not many would be guarding the girls... but she didn't know where they were. Erru wandered through the halls for a few minutes, careful not to round any corner too quickly, before she decided she needed to work on the distraction. That way, when the kidnapped teens got out, they could free their fellow prisoners without being put in harm's way. But she had an interesting idea... She chained up every door leading out, hoping that would hold back the guys outside for a while, and headed back to the room, knocking on the door. "Hey, I'm back. There's a load of 'em out front, but I'm going to try and get them out of the way. They could try something big, so be careful and ready to move. There's actually a way out big enough for you guys at the south end, but you'd have to get past all the bastards out front." She waited for a response, careful to listen for footfalls and voices. She wasn't going to be cornered again.

Erru took one look back through the window before heading off. She hoped she'd see those kids again. Toting the machine gun, she walked around the building to a secluded area where she could prepare her traps. She set to work modifying her flashlights and fiddling with the transmitters she'd brought. "I love having all these pockets," she mused as she took yet another tool from her cargo pockets. A little later, she had her rig totally set up, and smirked, "Is this a good enough distraction?" She typed the numbers on her transmitter, and after a short while, police sirens sounded, bright and clear. Blue and red light filled the windows as the sounds of squad cars echoed throughout the area. "This should work." She left the cramped area and headed around the side of the building, looking for the room the two girls had been taken to. [in case you guys didn't get it, she set up fake lights and sirens to trick the kidnappers. They don't know this, though. The real police would be too risky, as it could start a firefight and get you guys caught up in the line of fire. Plus she doesn't have a phone, even with all the gear xD]

Nope, it was the first one. xD I didn't dance at ALL at Prom. ^^ Moho, #2. (You don't have a basement?) 1- I hate plain milk chocolate 2- I own 2 ferrets 3- I've never been on facebook~

"Perfect. And in the mean time, I'll sneak out and cause a commotion." Erru took her coat off and draped it over Rose's shoulders. "It took guts to do what you did. I appreciate it, in my line of work." She smiled as she ripped off the lower cuff of her pants and tied it around her left arm, where it had been grazed. "Gotta keep myself shipshape to beat these guys." With a deep breath, she jumped up and grabbed the ledge of the window, pulling herself up and ramming her shoulder into the glass. After a few hits, it cracked enough to where she could bust it and wriggle through. "I'll keep 'em occupied. Get out as soon as possible. They likely have explosives." Erru reached and took the machine gun from a kid she had hold it for her, pointing to the other gun, the pistol. "Use that if they try anything... or this." She tossed a flash grenade down to Phi. "Oh, and that's the fake," she added, pointing to Aventura. May want to use some duct tape." With that, she made her way through the window, heading around the building to start work on the distraction.... she was bringing the police.

[i need someone else in the kidnappee room to post, so I don't run the story by myself TT_TT.... Aaaaand, I don't feel like meeting OTTD Player's guys right now.]

Poke you and say hi~~ ^^ What if your parents left you at home for a week and said you could do whatever you want?

"Oh, sh**." Erru decided she had no choice but to use the 'tricks' she'd brought along. She pulled the pin on a smoke grenade and chucked it outside. As soon as it took affect, she ran out and tackled the nearest guy, firing randomly into the group and wrenching the keys out of his hand. She jammed it in the lock as she passed, running in an arc as she fired and dodged to most of the bullets coming her way. She was grazed and hit, but she didn't even notice. Her opponents hadn't done her any serious damage. As the haze cleared she set off two flash grenades and covered her eyes. Swiftly turning the key and opening the door in one motion, she nabbed the gun off one of the guys and leapt inside, slamming and locking the door behind her. She leaned against the wall, breathing heavily, and tossed the keys to Rose. "Thanks for gaining me entry," she panted, closing her eyes. "That could have been a lot worse..." Erru looked to Rose and Phi. "You two are really helping me out today," she laughed, tugging at the collar of her heavy, now too-warm coat. "You should join the FBI program. Of course, it'll mean being in this kind of danger 24/7, but hey, how often do you get into a firefight with guys carrying machine guns?" Her smile faded a little, and she crossed her arms, staring at the floor. "Now I put those girls in danger...I have to go back out and help them." There are sounds of movement and cursing from outside. "If I can get through that window, I could sneak around to where they are." Her head spun, and she tried to think straight. "Or maybe I should go straight out and book it past the guys?" She stopped and put a hand to her forehead. She was just confused now... "Anybody have a LOGICAL idea?"
