(OOC: Continuation of Three at the Theater and Annalise Gravinsky: Casino Night)

This Part of FI is not considered Canon anymore. The above mentioned threads will Be continued differently. This thread will be archived for later reference.

The Imperial Palace Casino was right next door and Lena managed to get there in under 5 minutes. Sly had to really keep up with her unless he’d lost her on the way.

It didn’t take long for Lena to scout out the Restaurant and find the target Ronnie was supposed to sack. She was sitting at a table talking to a group of other young women – obviously her friends. It looked like they were about to leave.

There were still about 20 people in the Restaurant and starting a fight would be contra productive. It would take stealth and cunning to get what she wanted… or magic.

At the table the girls were packing their stuff. “I’m sorry, but I gotta go. That weasel-guy kinda crashed the party. Sorry ‘bout that, Anna.”

Everyone seemed to be in agreement and it was up to Anna to drive them home as usual.

The woman with the bone-white hair was easy to spot. Another thing that was easy to spot was the fact that the fire-damned casino was the worst place in the world to try to 'convince' someone to come along.

"Damn it," Lena muttered as she stared at her target. "Sly, see that woman?" When he nodded, Lena said, "We need to kidnap her. This isn't usually my thing, so any suggestions you may have would be welcome."

She didn't appear to wonder if he'd be willing; she just assumed he was in all the way.

Anna nodded and began packing up herself. She was the designated driver for the bunch after all. "It's okay, he ruined my night too." She got ready and when they started to leave she followed them, unaware of anything more than the usual attention she drew.

Sly let his mind reach out to listen to the surface thoughts of the target. "Looks to me like they are leaving, might be best to follow them outside and do what we need to do there. Way too many cameras in here to do anything crazy."

Annalise dropped the last of her friends off and turned her car to head back home. Somehow this whole evening wasn’t supposed to be like that. It started out good and turned miserable in a matter of minutes. She was used to the stares and the occasional question but after that riot earlier today things got downright unbearable. As if she was tainted – which in some way was not far away from the truth.

Tailing her was Lena and Sly – Lena managed to stay close enough to Anna’s car without drawing too much attention to herself. After a short moment Sly came up with the address of Anna and told Lena which way to go. She would have to ask him later how he did that.

Lena entered Anna’s apartment bypassing security and locking mechanisms as if they didn’t exist and “professionally” scouted the rooms. Once she’d gotten a good overview she made herself comfortable until Anna would show up.

You’ve got 5 minutes before Anna comes back home. Anna won’t notice that the door has been opened. She is unaware of any possible threat.

Annalise opened the door rubbing her temples. It was getting late and that last 5 minutes on the road had really worn her down. A quick shower and of to bed - that was the plan at least.

She hadn't noticed how Lena and Sly had already set their trap which she was about to spring. All three mutants in return had been followed and watched by cold intelligent machines that were programmed to catch all three of them.

Lena was about to take action when the whole appartment seemed to shake. The walls exploded and from all directions the hulking behemoths charged in as if the walls were made of papermesh. Annalise never realised what hit her as two of the metalmonsters teamed up on her. She barely managed to up her defenses when she got pummeled to the ground by impossibly fast rounds.

Lena quickly realising that they were outmatched opted for the bluff and fell unconsciously to the floor deciding she could fight later on her terms once she found out who these creatures sent. From the corner of her eye she could see that Sly had disappeared - or had been taken by one of the behemoths.

Cold metal hands picked her up examining her for any damage and then her surroundings changed in a flash of light.

(ooc: This story will continue in the Main thread here: Chapter 1 )
