"Let's get going!" You throw yourself through the window without any regards.
[SEEKER OF THE CITY] You've done this before. Usually, in a rush to get out of somewhere when someone or SOMETHING was out to get you. You land on your feet immediately, rushing down the fire escape stairs before the others notice what you're doing.
"Woah, hold on, Nicky!" "What the fuck?" Your two allies lag behind with their attempts to get out of the window. They can catch up later, you have a MISSION to complete. You have a TRAIL of CRIMSON to follow.
The pitter patter of your feet stomping past the snow-free streets of District 14 is all your mind needs. Your eyes focus on the stains on the floor. Crimson is your guide forward. Take a turn there, take another turn there. Your legs move on their own, dead set on finding Benjamin.
You only slow down when you hear footsteps following behind you. "Nicole! Slow down!" You turn around to see Alexis huffing and puffing, trailing behind you. Lex is a bit better at keeping pace with you but he's still pretty behind.
You turn around to keep rushing after the fading trail. It must've been recent because you still see specks of red on the ground in front of you. <span class="mu-b">You feel like you would've lost it if you hadn't acted as quickly as you did.</span>
"Father Above, fucking slow down already!" Alexis calls out to you while desperately trying to keep pace with you.
Another turn. Another turn. Yet another turn. Specks of that delicious crimson pushing you forward.
Your legs eventually stop once the trail goes cold. Your body is exhausted from your mad dash. You lean against the wall next to you, nearly dry heaving onto the sidewalk. It takes a few minutes for your two allies to finally catch up with you.
"Fucking hell, what got into you? You ran like you were possessed!" Alexis isn't doing much better than you. Meanwhile, Lex walks up to you two like he was just doing a light jog instead of dashing after a women possessed. "Hoo, where are we, even?" Lex spins his head around.
You don't actually know that. You raise your head up to see you're in front of some random abandoned building that might've been a business. That's not the important one. Across the street, tucked away between two abandoned office buildings, is a shoddy looking warehouse. Rust covers every inch of its exterior that you can see. A few empty boxes are littered outside as well.
The few windows you can spot on its exterior have been boarded up, likely to prevent any break ins. The front entrance, from what you can see, has been shuttered off. Two guards with a similar build to Lex stand in front of it. Aside from some batons on their waistbands and some shoddy body armor, they don't seem too threatening in the grand scheme.
Well, that's what you would say but you notice one of the guards is holding a leash. Your eyes drift to see what it's attached to and-
What the fuck is that thing? <span class="mu-r">Whatever it is, it's not a guard dog.</span>
