May 11: Dim Sum, emphasis on the Dim

by **Narrator** » Tue Jan 18, 2011 6:03 pm

Kat and Nick would find themselves expected, and ushered to a booth in the back of a rather cheap Chinese restaurant. They were, for the moment, alone.

by **Kathrin Schmidt** » Tue Jan 18, 2011 6:07 pm

"This is such bullshit..." she says quietly.

by **Nick Varkan** » Tue Jan 18, 2011 6:08 pm

"Blaming us for his inadequacy? Yeah."

by **Kathrin Schmidt** » Tue Jan 18, 2011 6:23 pm

"I guess the people higher up are more competent or I don't see how these guys would be a threat to anything."

by **Nick Varkan** » Tue Jan 18, 2011 6:26 pm

"I just hope this contact has a pulse."

by **Narrator** » Wed Jan 19, 2011 3:15 pm

With that, a tall, slender man, with solid white eyes sat down at the table.

by **Nick Varkan** » Wed Jan 19, 2011 3:49 pm

"You must be the man we're here to see."

by **Narrator** » Wed Jan 19, 2011 3:59 pm

"In a matter of speaking, yes," he said.

With no pupils, it was hard to tell where or if he was looking. "Do you have the case?"

by **Nick Varkan** » Wed Jan 19, 2011 4:20 pm

"Possibly. You'll understand if we're cautious after our last delivery. Need to be one hundred percent sure you're the correct recipient."

by **Narrator** » Wed Jan 19, 2011 4:35 pm

"A fair point, and an admirable one."

by **Kathrin Schmidt** » Wed Jan 19, 2011 5:49 pm

"Well then?" Kat asks.

by **Narrator** » Wed Jan 19, 2011 6:03 pm

"Well, then, I assure you I am the real deal," he smirked. "Though if you don't believe me, you can take your chances with the two that just followed me in," he said, shrugging a shoulder at the door, where two guys in sweaters and khakis were coming in, looking around.

by **Kathrin Schmidt** » Wed Jan 19, 2011 6:06 pm

"And you wouldn't happen to know who the two gentlemen following you are?"

by **Nick Varkan** » Wed Jan 19, 2011 6:09 pm

"His guards I assume. And humiliating his boys won't be necessary," he smirked.

"Whaddya think Kat? Should we believe him?"

by **Narrator** » Wed Jan 19, 2011 6:11 pm

"My...guards. Please." he scoffed.

by **Kathrin Schmidt** » Wed Jan 19, 2011 6:12 pm

"No his guards, if he has any, are already in here and wouldn't have let him walk in first."

by **Narrator** » Wed Jan 19, 2011 6:14 pm

"Astute, Kat. Now, perhaps we should duck out the back..."

by **Nick Varkan** » Wed Jan 19, 2011 6:17 pm

"Agreed," Nick nodded.

by **Kathrin Schmidt** » Wed Jan 19, 2011 6:29 pm

"Sounds good to me."

by **Narrator** » Wed Jan 19, 2011 6:34 pm

"Right. Through the kitchen. There should be a car out back....yes, there's a car out back," he said, the ivory eyes flickering.

"Nick, carry the case."

by **Nick Varkan** » Wed Jan 19, 2011 6:37 pm

Nick nodded and grabbed it as he got up quietly.

by **Narrator** » Thu Jan 20, 2011 3:55 pm

The blind man quickly led them down through the kitchen, weaving expertly through the mess and confusion of a kitchen...and then stopped at the back door.

"...someone's out there."

by **Kathrin Schmidt** » Thu Jan 20, 2011 3:58 pm

"Then we punch through them, unless you wanna take your chance with the other guys in a crowded kitchen instead."

by **Nick Varkan** » Thu Jan 20, 2011 5:05 pm

"Or I blow a hole in the wall and we go out the side. Not a subtle plan, I admit."

by **Narrator** » Thu Jan 20, 2011 5:18 pm

"I leave it up to you, but choose quickly, as the people following us will not be fooled for long."

by **Kathrin Schmidt** » Thu Jan 20, 2011 5:30 pm

"What's the worst that could happen." she says, opening the door and bracing herself for, well, the worst.

by **Narrator** » Thu Jan 20, 2011 5:34 pm

Around a silver rolls-royce were four dudes with bandannas over their faces.

"Shit! There they are!" one said, and rushed forward with a lead pipe.

by **Nick Varkan** » Thu Jan 20, 2011 5:35 pm

"Idiot..." Nick groaned, blasting the rusher

by **Kathrin Schmidt** » Thu Jan 20, 2011 5:40 pm

"Guessing that's not your ride?" Kat deadpans as the expensive car starts hovering up.

by **Narrator** » Thu Jan 20, 2011 5:42 pm

"Not any more, I suppose..."

The guy with the pipe went down...and then flipped open the end of the tube and pressed a small red button, while the other three quickly dove behind some cover.

by **Nick Varkan** » Thu Jan 20, 2011 5:48 pm

Nick threw up his strongest shield.

"Car. Up. Fast."

by **Kathrin Schmidt** » Thu Jan 20, 2011 5:48 pm

Expecting an explosion of some kind Kat and the Rolls Royce shoot up further into the sky.

by **Narrator** » Thu Jan 20, 2011 5:51 pm

The Rolls, in fact, DID then explode, with a loud shockwave, sending very expensive shrapnel flying in all directions, as the shockwave ripped down the alleyway.

The blind man was knocked to the ground.

by **Kathrin Schmidt** » Thu Jan 20, 2011 5:56 pm

"Shit that was close." Kat mumbles as she comes down again to slam into the group of goons to knock out the remaining ones.

by **Nick Varkan** » Thu Jan 20, 2011 5:57 pm

"Fucking cowards."

Nick dropped the shield.

"You okay?"

by **Narrator** » Thu Jan 20, 2011 6:08 pm

"I'll live. Behind you.." he said, as one of the first knocked down guy hurled his pipe towards Nick's head.

by **Nick Varkan** » Thu Jan 20, 2011 6:17 pm

Nick used his power to push against the guy's arms and spun around to punch him in the gut.

by **Narrator** » Thu Jan 20, 2011 6:21 pm

Kat landed, smashing two of the remaining three ground guys with her force on landing, leaving one guy scrambling for something in his pocket.

Nick's blow knocked down the guy trying to hit him in the head, but the two from the restaurant barreled into him from behind.

by **Kathrin Schmidt** » Thu Jan 20, 2011 6:24 pm

"Oh no you don't!" Extending a beam of gravity to the guys head she attempts to yank him towards her and directly into her fist.

by **Nick Varkan** » Thu Jan 20, 2011 6:32 pm

Nick fell hard, but then responded by flying up with the thugs in tow.

"Try anything and you go splat."
