It seemed the crisis was averted for now,though a new one came in its place. People were being drawn to the scene and that was not a good thing considering how it would affect his reputation,not a good thing in the least. Sean was caught between a rock an a hard place this time but what could he do? It wasn't like he could simply kill everyone here and walk away as if it were nothing,killing never solved anyones problems;except the governments but they are assholes anyway. besides,noone here deserved a fate such as that,so he would leave them be fore now. It wasn't like money couldn't keep them quiet if he really neded it to;money was a wonderful thing and he had plenty of it.

Aaron on the other hand was mentally fuming over the waste of a good jacket,which he had to pay top dollar for,though now it was charred saving the life of some cop who was most likely past his prime anyway. That was something he was not in the least thrilled about but what was done was done. It wasn't like he could change that but he could punish the girl for messing with them in the first place. that seemed like a legitimate idea,if they weren't being treated like a spectacle. Sadly they were,which emant he couldn't really make any violent moves towards a little girl. What the hell had he gotten himself into this time? "Hello 911,we have an emergency." Aaron said,speaking into his cellphone as he was responded with a female voice who asked the state of their emergency.

"We have an officer down,hes sustained burns." Aaron said with an eerily calm voice as the woman on the other end did whatever it was that they did to find out your location. Though beffore she could say anythign else,the phone crumpled in on itself from a psionic grip, as the plastic peices fell to the ground silently;crushed under an expensive leather shoe. "I called for help,though I don't suggest we stay around. I think we've drawn enough attention to ourselves as it is." He said plainly to Elaine and Clayton as he wiped away an invisible speck of dust from his white shirt. It was true that if they stayed any longer,trouble would come to them like so many moths to a flame.

Without waiting for a reply,Aaron walked away from the scene with Sean in tow. The ambulence wouldn't be too long and they could not afford to linger around here for another moment. The girl seemed to have disappeared along with her hellhound but that was far from the end of that. in fact it was only the beggining of a long day for the two young men,the cowgirl and the thief. Looking on the scene was a strange man in a simple suit and close cropped brown hair. His eyes like polished diamonds that seemed to contain a deapth that was almost unimaginable. "So it seems she failed in her mission. Father won't be pleased at all." He muttered disdainfully, checking his golden with a careful eye. The only strange thing about him was that he didn't cast a shadow,even with the suns light directly on him.

"I knew the princess couldn't handle them. It would take more than her mutt to take down those two and the people who helped them are equally strange. This might turn out to be funner than i thought." A strang female voice chimed in as a cloked figure seemed to materialize from behind the man, only a strand of raven black hair flowing from the cover of her hood.

"All talk but no results."

"But we won't make the same mistakes." This was said with a tone that could chill the blood,no,it could freeze the blood itself.

"Yes!" Elaine exclaimed as the joy of pulling off her childish prank filled her with exuberance. "I thought today was going to suck when I got up and had to go talk to some closet case go on and on about how his uncle molested him and how I should be a 'better' person." The air quotes started again. "That just goes to show you McGuiness, good things come to those who see the silver lining on everything." Smoke poured up from the officer who found himself in a very close crisis in front of Elaine, painting her in a very devilish manner. Not seeing any behavior becoming of her antics, Elaine reached out to give advice to McGuiness. "You know McGuiness, since Johnson here is going to be out of it for a while..." McGuiness should count himself lucky Elaine remembered his name. "I think I'll put a call into the chief and get you transferred..." She held out for a pause. "...Detective."

As her words of false promise spoke to McGuiness on behalf of his partner who's name she couldn't even remember, a familiar voice pointed something out to the wanderlust hero. "You're being watched."

"Hell yeah I am. People love a winner." Cell phone cameras caught yet another endearing moment of Elaine publicly menacing a population who could not care less about the danger she incited.

"I was talking about people on the led..."

"Clay, I always forget to ask you this..." Elaine stood abreast with confidence. "Do you want to be my sidekick?"
