Strangers in the night, exchanging glances

[simplestgift]

Who: Anyone working at Cloud Nine, well-intended rescuers, etc.
What: A raid.
When: August 29th, 11:31 PM.
Where: Cloud Nine
Summary: The night club turned homeless shelter does house quite a bit of food and booze, and a few Kin'corans have decided to take control of the situation.
Rating: R for violence.

It's not just people inside the club that begin it. After the club is locked for the night, someone begins pounding on the door. Despite the owner's instructions to the contrary, several people sleeping on the floor scramble up and open the door to let in a small swarm of men armed with knives and blunt weapons.

"Sorry you had to find out this way, but your posh night club is under new management now. If you have a problem with that? Get in the kitchen."

Comments

Amelia can feel how Archie tries to be careful, and she appreciates it on a certain level--but now isn't the time. "Don't worry about touching me." Amelia could put up with hives if it meant getting Archie to Adele faster.

Elizabeth helps her get Archie up, and Amelia nods in reply to the woman's thanks. She rolls her eyes when Archie makes his comment. "Be glad I like you, or getting stabbed still wouldn't be enough."

She lifts her head enough to look at Elizabeth. "Ready when you are."

Archie is given a small smile before Elizabeth puts all her focus back into their task.

She nods at Amelia.

"Can you do well enough on your own, helping him walk?"

Archie glances at Amelia, pained, then looks back to Elizabeth.

"What are you going to do?"
