Well, I will not be an enemy of anything, I'll only stand here…

Maya's driven as quickly as possible to the Main Gauche - as quickly as won't get her stopped by an officer, and as would be safe given that she still has to get used to everyone here driving on the wrong bloody side of the road - and finally come to the Main Gauche and parked. She recognises the other Torchwood SUV, parked with an

Piper has no idea what's going on and there's a part of her that really doesn't want to know, but when you hear someone shouting to be let in like that and they don't look particularly threatening... Well, you might as well go and let them in.

"Hi! I'm here! I don't know what Torchwood is, but I'm here," she says, trotting up to the gate and opening it quickly. In hindsight, she really should be more suspicious, but she's still not in control of the whole empath thing and if either of the two women were giving off malevolent vibes, she'd feel it.

Fortunately Maya is radiating concern, and Karu is a calm centre beside her. Nothing threatening.

"Hello," Maya says, pulling out her badge. She has no idea if it will count for anything, but- "Detective Inspector Maya Roy." I have important information for Elashte." Because that's probably the easiest way to find Sam. And then, Oh, God. There are children here. "Do you live here?"

Karu lets her wings out, keeping them folded flush against her back and watching, quietly.

"Yeah, uh, you'd have to talk to Tay about finding him. I haven't even met him, but Tay would know." She frowns. "Not that I know where Tay is either. Eric might be around."

There's such a blind sense of panic around the building that she's almost hesitant to go back inside. That's why she was out here in the first place- cooling her head.

"Yes," she responds to other question, tilting her head to the side a bit and keeping an eye on Karu for a second. All she knows of angels are that they occasionally kill demons and Tay is terrifying, but she's so calm, that she really can't be wary of her for long. "If you'll follow me, I'll get you to someone who can help."

Oh, she's going to have to evacuate these people. Romana and her archangels will be here at any time, and as little as Maya knows about the exact quality of their moral fibre, she knows as much as any civilian can about battlefields. She knows that you keep civilians, especially children, off them.

"Thank you," she says, and follows. Karu follows the two of them like a ghost, smiling reassuringly at Piper when she looks her way.

Piper isn't going to die today. It will be all right.
