"Wait, his father!? You mean that White Fang bigwig?" Elroy had to take a moment to process that. "Shit. Alright you take the lead, if he needs backup I’ll back him up. However if they start shooting i'm not going to sit back and do nothing okay?" with that they proceeded further into the warehouse, behind them the sounds of the mob changed and Elroy knew they had run out of time. He could get out himself but he couldn't exactly abandon Alice and Darian now. He'd have to think of some way to avoid them getting in a fight with the police but so far he couldn't come up with anything...



Jericho had his weapon almost raised again by the time he recognize the man who had appeared on the rooftop. It was professor Crucible, a teacher at Signal and Jericho's contact with the Red Watch. Basically everything that happened tonight was because of his request for Jericho to look into the matter. and now with cop cars and swat vans swarming the warehouse complex here he was.

"Now, what do we have here" he said with not a trace of surprise in his voice. Jericho had lowered his gun but he didn't relax. First Elroy and now Crucible, was this some kind of Red Watch test?

"We'd better go find your companions. The police have already begun to round up the White Fang sympathizers. " he walked to the edge of the roof s he said this, and just over the ledge a white star-filled Glyph appeared and as Jericho moved closer he saw a sequence of equally spaced glyphs reaching down all the way to the ground below. "Stay close" was all he said before he stepped over the edge and slowly descended through the Glyphs which each slowed his descent more and more until he came to a gentle stop at the bottom. he glanced back up at the two students still on the roof and for a moment the thought of running crossed Jericho's mind, but along with the fact that the VTOL was still flying overhead which made an unnoticed escape impossible, he also wanted some answers. He gave Rhythm a reluctant look and jumped into the Glyphs.



When both students had made it down Egil had already started walking in the direction of the warehouse when an explosion sounded from the other side of the complex. a black pillar of smoke had begun rising from the street lying behind the warehouse and several officers rushed to the scene.

"I really hope that wasn't one of your companions who did that. Come on you two, keep up!" Egil said with little hope in his voice. Jericho had to move fast to try and keep up with the man. When they rounded the corner they could see several officers exchanging fire from the cover of a still burning police car with a band of White Fang who were fleeing to the rooftops. The VTOL pursued them but with a shower of sparks the searchlight was destroyed by a well aimed shot. As the three reached the newly added hole in the warehouse wall they were confronted something akin to a movie scene. Elroy, Darian and Alice were holding their weapons ready and faced at least five police officers outside with guns trained on them. For the moment neither side moved and Egil Crucible had to intervene before they had a firefight on their hands again.

"Stop, Hold up! They’re with me!" he said in an attempt to diffuse the situation. There was a quick exchange of looks among the officers before they half reluctantly, half relieved lowered their weapons. Whether they liked it or not they had orders to listen to this man. Egil stepped in through the hole to speak with the trio of students up close. Elroy Osmail looked relieved at sight of the man and stored his weapons with a quick motion of the arms. Egil regarded Darian and Alice for a moment in silence before he spoke.

“Okay, it’s been a long night and I know we all have questions we want answers to. I’ll see to it that you five can go home soon but before that I would like to ask a few questions in private. If you would follow me, I’ll get us some transportation to Beacon” he turned leave the building and Elroy gestured to Alice and Darian to just follow him out. By now he was positively exhausted and did not at all look forward to having a good talk with professor Crucible. But he certainly wasn’t going to start another fight now, and he hoped his companions shared that idea.
