Rift Hound - Maroni's Restaurant
Joshua gave the woman an apologetic look, "These guys seem like the kind of people who'll kill us all just for a getaway distraction." he whispered, "I can at least try to get some of you out. Now get ready."
Looking back to the top of the stairs Joshua opened his Pocket, focusing on retrieving the gunman he had captured moments ago, try as he might however, he couldn't retrieve the gunman without also retrieving the gun he'd been holding. The body dropped out, gun gripped in his hands, crashing down the stairs, dead. A moment of guilt flashed through Joshua's mind, but he pushed it aside to focus on the task at hand. The distraction would only work for a moment, so he needed to work fast! Shooting a look back out the doorway, Joshua opened a table-sized portal into the street, facing away from the restaurant and headed around the corner.
"Now!"Joshua hissed, spinning back to face the woman. As quickly as he could, Joshua opened another table-sized portal under the woman and those near her, shutting it as they disappeared and opening new ones under the other hostages as quickly has he could manage.
