Dexter spent the whole time at Ballard on the ship. He had no desire to go explore this mess of a city. His thoughts were elsewhere. The desk in front of him was laid out with an abundance of colorful charts and graphs. Lines and notes were drawn in small, neat handwriting across them from a charcoal pencil the captain had borrowed from Levi's stash. Blueprints accompanied the other papers; crude drawings of machinery he was familiarizing himself with. Weapons, security, evey nick and cranny that could be used as a hiding place or shelter from enemy fire... Dexter plotted it all out, committing it to memory. This next job was an important one, and he couldn't allow himself or his crew to mess it up.

He checked the watch on his wrist. It had been about five hours now, and he was sure that any minute now at least a few of his comrades would come running aboard, apologizing profusely for the trouble they were about to bring him. Sure enough, he heard a soft knock on the door. Never a good sign.

With a sigh he slid his chair back and stood up. He moved across the room, his heavy boots making soft thuds on the ships floor as he walked to the door. He opened it, and his steely gaze rested on Winter, who stood patiently with her hands behind her back. “I'm assuming you're going to inform me we should depart soon.” He said, raising one eyebrow in question, “Do we need to stop by any prisons on our way, or did they all manage to avoid arrest this time?”

Awwwwe dat's so cute

also jangel and kimiyosis, whose characters need to telepathically know that it's time to get the hell out.

I was gonna have Aubrey swing around and alert them as well, but I felt like he wouldn't be so lucky as to find all four of the missing crew mates so I decided against it. But I believe they were in the market, right? So they should see the commotion.

hey, so you know how we said everyone just kinda slept wherever on the ship? is it big enough that if they wanted, everyone could have their own room?

@c3p-0h

It's probably big enough for at least most of them to have their own room if they wanted.

Aubrey heard the sound of gunfire, and turned to see Karan tearing towards them. He didn't slow down after a near collision with Winter, and instead just yelled at them, ”Running is good!” Before taking off again.

“Wha-” Aubrey flinched as a bullet whizzed past in pursuit of Taran. “What about Pri-”

The crewmate in question made a grand appearance as he came falling off of another rooftop and crushed the man after Taran. Well, shit, that was interesting. Winter shouted at them to split up as a large group of very upset guardsmen entered the scene, then flung herself off the side of the building as if she had been trained her whole life for this moment. She took the fire escape and caused a commotion, cutting off that route of escape. Aubrey flashed Jax a smile; this was gonna be fun.

He turned and headed for the opposite side of the building as Winter. Luckily, there was a fire escape on that side as well. Not so lucky, the guard had already thought of that. Aubrey jumped down onto the first platform, landing lightly between two of the guys charging up the old steps. “Hi! Nice evening, isn't it?” One of the men lunged for him, but Aubrey twisted out of the way and the man collided with the other, sending both of them tumbling down the steps. “Ah, watch your step!”

Aubrey hopped over them before they untangled themselves. So long as nobody got a hold of him, he was fine. He was quick and agile, but easily overpowered if anybody managed to catch him. He skipped the last few steps and vaulted over the railing onto the ground, bypassing a third guard. This one, however, wielded a gun. The man quickly jumped the rail after the boy, landing with a heavy thud. “C'mon kid, come quietly and nobody else has to get hurt!”

“Oh, convincing argument, but I better not.” Aubrey saw the man's brow twitch in annoyance. He raised his pistol, but Aubrey was already rushing around the next corner into an ally. Running was definitely something he was good at. He changed direction when he spotted another group of men, backtracking a few paces before he found a door exiting into the dark ally. He tried the nob, and to his surprise it was actually unlocked. He opened the door and slipped inside.... the coffee shop? Oh wow, small world.

“Oh, hey, I know you.” Aubrey was short of breath. Winston was still there. “So, like, some stuff happened, and we should probably skedaddle.” The people in the cafe stared at the boy in shock. He probably was a sight, all banged up with that wild-ass grin on his face.

He didn't waste time, and quickly headed out the opposite door and back onto the street. Now he knew where he was, even if it was black as sin outside. He turned on his heel and started down the street, covering ground quickly as he put distance between himself and the commotion as he worked his way back to the ship.
