[IC] Spliced

[Saarebas]

Marshall hung up side down from the roof of the car and offered a shrug. "Maybe, but chances are that we can send a signal back to Vlad and he catches on to us. Or one to Roxy's collar and she ends up painting the restaurant's walls a new redder color."

[Shiv]

"Shame, I was hoping to hear what was hapening on vlads end."

[Saarebas]

Marshall smirked. "Ohh little foxy wants to be the trickster?"

[KatherinWinter]

Roxy watched Bjorn interact with Adamaris. She grew angry as she watched. He had been so kind to her that she thought maybe he was different. But no he was no different from every other man. Roxy silently got up and left. She didn't return to the hummer though. She leaned against the outside of the building.

[Shiv]

Roxys collar began talking to her again "Roxy darling, Love of my life, my sun and stars...would you join us at the humvee please? but only if you want to, its not an order or anything" Aces voice was pleasant and understanding

[Saarebas]

Marshall nearly fell off the roof laughing. "Dude! Really?!" He said looking at Ace.

[Shiv]

Ace looked at Marshall with a grin "She is a strong willed great looking girl....And shes very skilled with a knife which makes her invaluable for the mission. And above all else i want to make sure she gets back safe. What Vlad did to her was bull"

[Saarebas]

Marshall had to try to catch his breath. "Dude you're a fox!" he then busted out laughing again. "I need that laugh!"

[KatherinWinter]

Roxy considered the request. She shrugged. Might as well be inside the warm hummer with company. Even if that company included Marshall. She slid into the front seat.

[Shiv]

"Hello Roxy, I do so apologize for my forward request. Its just the sooner we get things planned the sooner we can get that bomb of your neck."

[KatherinWinter]

"Don't worry about it. I'll be glad to get the stupid thing off. Do we have a plan?" Roxy asked

[Saarebas]

"Yeah we're going to poke it with a stick until it falls off" Marshall said from the roof of the humvee

[Shiv]

"Well I was thinking we get to town find the lab assess the defenses, grab the intel, and then ..." Ace trailed off as he shifted to hybrid form ripped the rear view mirror our and tossed it out of the humvee then he put his finger to his lips to shhh He grabbed a notepad he brought with him and wrote "Then I take that bomb off make it look like we all died in the lab explosion and let you all go free. Then I go back and get revenge for all of us." He looked at her his stare intense.

[KatherinWinter]

Roxy read the words carefully and then shook her head. If anyone was destroying Vlad for what he had done to her it would be her. She would at the very least get her piece of him. She took the pen and slowly wrote. You don't know if you can remove the collar without killing us all. I would rather return to Vlad then risk blowing up. I deserve a piece of him.

[Shiv]

He wrote back "We do it together then, but I can remove the collar anytime I want. I'm fully trained in bomb defusal. Part of my training to be one of vlads agents"

[Saarebas]

Marshall was still on the roof when they stopped talking. "I hate to kill the mood in there but so you know just because you ain't talking doesn't mean he who shall not be named won't suspect anything." He called as he lied down on the roof.

[KatherinWinter]

"Sadly Marshall is right. He is going to suspect that we are up to something. And Vlad knees what your training is Ace. He'll take that and Marshall's abilities into consideration. We have to go back. I can live with that." Roxy stated.

[Shiv]

"I hate the idea of him doing to you what he did to my friends." A single tear rolled down before he looked away shifted back into a fox and went to lay down in the back seat

[KatherinWinter]

"If it helps Ace, Vlad isn't likely to kill me. That would end the fun he gets out of torturing me." Roxy awkwardly comforted the fox. She only had a vague idea of what happens to the other animals that had been spliced with human DNA. That fate was the least of her worries.

[Shiv]

"You he will keep alive, its what he will force you to do later on thats what really kills you.." He couldnt let that happen, he would save them all, or die trying. Thats how he would balance the evils he has done
